Normal port ingress/egress (transport channel) buffer capacity is 16 Kbytes. An Extended Packet Buffer option enables 56 Kbytes when both transport channels are used (C1 and C2), 56 Kbytes if just C2 is used, or 122 Kbytes if just C1 is used: Extended buffer disabled = 16k Extended buffer enabled C1 only = 112k Extended buffer enabled C2 only = 56k Extended buffer enabled C1 + C2 = 56k each

The Extended Packet Buffer option is enabled by a tickbox in the DAC GE plugins screen. Extended Packet Buffer operation will impact traffic latency; latency will be increased.

Important Software Upgrade Considerations

In this release there are several software upgrade and compatibility considerations that should be noted and procedures followed to ensure a reliable upgrade with minimum traffic interruption as follows:

Traffic interruption during SW upgrade: With this release a typical traffic interruption of up to two minutes can be expected (see note below for DAC GE3 also). It is recommended that the software updates be activated during a maintenance window when a traffic outage can be managed. DAC GE3: Extended software loading times with traffic interruption when upgrading from 5.05.xx or 5.08.xx to this release. Systems fitted with DAC GE3 that are being upgraded from 5.05/5.08 will experience an extended traffic outage of typically up to 12 minutes due to the significant enhancements being introduced in this release. Under some circumstances this may be extended up to 20 minutes for complex configurations. RAC 60/6X : The ETSI 28MHz and 56MHz ACM profiles from software releases 5.1.xx, 5.2.xx and 5.3.xx are not over-the-air compatible with this release. Traffic will be impacted until both ends of the link are upgraded. When upgrading to this release from 5.1/5.2/5.3 ensure that the remote end of the link is upgraded first prior to the local end (Ref ES-18336) If the software is rolled back or downgraded from this release to 05.05.40 there may be several non traffic affecting alarms displayed incorrectly due to feature incompatibilities. These alarms can be cleared with a software reset. If the software is rolled back or downgraded from this release to 5.08.15 AND Rapid Failure detection is selected ON the Ethernet transport channel (TC) traffic is disrupted until the RFD is toggled to NFD and back. The NCCv1 is not supported in this release and will not be supported in any future software updates. The latest release to support this early version of NCC card is 05.01.44.

Software Version Upgrade Compatibility The following previous software versions have been validated as supporting direct upgrade to this new release: v05.01.44 v05.03.64 v05.08.15 v05.10.24 v05.02.48 v05.04.57 v05.09.30 v05.02.60 v05.05.40 v05.09.32 v05.03.45 v05.08.10 v05.10.14

Please contact Aviat Technical Support if validation is required for direct upgrade from earlier software versions to this release.

Known Issues
The following table lists known issues that have not been fixed in this release:
Ref # ES-11578 Issue Description RAC 30A: Extended demodulator not locked events may affect AM operation On AM links, resumption of normal modulator operation after a long demodulator outage can be delayed. RAC: During a SW upgrade load or if a refresh is requested after a configuration change, there may be a delay of up to several minutes before Portal acknowledges completion of the processes. During this time Portal will indicate a busy/pending status (spin-wheel). RAC 60/6X: RAC 60 operation with DAC 16x v2 manual (SW initiated) tributary switching times exceed an average of 50ms (all <200ms). Tributary cable removal switch times average <50ms. RAC 60/6X: In a space diversity system sometimes there is a traffic hit when the offline card is removed. No Power Supply Input Failure alarm on the IRU 600 high power RFU. Removing the power supply brings up a TX Power Failure alarm, which may result in an incorrect diagnosis of the real problem. If a TX Power Failure alarm is present, first check the RFU power supply voltage. RAC 60/6X: Frequency Diversity manual Tx switching times exceed 200ms. When manual switching from the online RAC during maintenance activities the Tx switching times may exceed 200ms and can be extended up to 2 seconds. In normal operation Frequency Diversity switching is hitless for both Tx and Rx paths with path fading activity or ODU failure/disconnection. To test FD is operating correctly fade or disconnect the IDU-ODU cable. RAC 60/6X: Traffic (DS1&Ethernet) hits observed on a RAC30v3 link using slot 3 after a RAC60 is inserted in Slot1. Suggested workaround: in case both RAC30 and RAC60 cards are present in the same radio, use slots other than slot 3 for the RAC30. RAC 60/6X: 1+1 Protected - Occasional On-Line traffic hit after the Off-Line RAC is inserted DAC 16xV2 in Ethernet NTU Mode: When setting up protection on a DAC 16xV2 configured for Ethernet NTU mode on tribs 1-8 it may raise a remote-end LOS alarm on all tribs with a loss of all trib traffic. This problem occurs intermittently only when setting up the DAC 16xV2 initially for protection. To reset/clear the LOS alarms and restore traffic, remove and re-insert the On-Line DAC 16xV2. RWPR: If Rapid Failure Detection + Protection is selected for transport channel mode RWPR protection may fail when a link is slowly faded then un-faded due to the prescribed RSTP forwarding and blocking action being unreliable. Select "Rapid Failure Detection" only with no protection. The only time protection should be selected is if you expect some but not all E1s to go down in a transport channel like when using 2 parallel links. In this configuration RWPR may still be an issue. RAC 60/6X: When configured for 1+1 Adaptive Modulation, the Primary & Secondary TX Modulation & Capacity values can be mismatched with different values displayed in the Portal Performance screen. The On-Line TX displays the true TX modulation/capacity of the path. This is a display (Portal) issue. It can be corrected by forcing TX Off-Line to On-Line. Super PDH Ring: Traffic is hit for more than two errored seconds when restoring ring services after multiple path failures. The issue occurs on ring network configurations where individual links are 1+1 Hot Standby or Space Diversity protected. In situations where two separate links on the ring are down and one link recovers while the second one has not, restoration of traffic may take 2 - 3 seconds. With two RF links down, ring integrity is broken. When one RF link recovers, restoration of ring integrity and traffic is delayed by 2 - 3 seconds. Portal: Invalid software error messages displayed after enable/disable encryption configuration if radio terminal is managed over NMS channel only. Close and reopen Portal to clear this invalid error message. RAC 60/6X: OC3 profiles: Online RAC removal Rx switch times may be longer than 50ms (always <200ms). Manual protection switching times (simulated card failure mode) always average <50ms. RAC 60/6X: IRU 600 OC3, 30MHz/128QAM protection switching triggered by RFU alarm can have a double hit outage (less than 10% of occurrences). Error Log: file mismatch error messages in log when changing circuits. Occasionally when adding circuits the following messages may be displayed in the log: "NV: Compact Flash Cache compare JUNE 22, 2011

error". These do not always show up and usually cleared on the next circuit change. ES-14885 HTTPD: The new WebCIT screen has functional and display issues, "The "Status" fields do not change to show the plug-ins' alarm severity Traffic hits can occur when the secondary RAC 60 card is online for RX, or online for TX and Rx, and you enable DPP. To avoid a traffic hit, have the primary RAC 60 online for TX and RX before enabling DPP. ODU 300 SP: Tx Fail alarm comes up and RAC front panel LEDs go red when placed in IF Loopback with SP ODUs EQS-XX-XXXX-XXX identified by the serial number starting BLBxxxxxxxx . Alarm only seen during IF Loopback. DAC 16xV2 Trib Protection: If a diagnostic Tx/Rx manual lock has been set, a Tx/Rx manual lock warning alarm is activated in the Portal alarms screen. If one of the DAC 16xV2 cards is physically removed while the Tx/Rx lock is active, the Tx/Rx manual lock alarm cannot subsequently be cleared. Prior to removing the card, ensure the diagnostic Tx/Rx manual lock is disabled. Otherwise, to clear the alarm, either physically withdraw the remaining card, pause, then reinsert, or power cycle the INU. Portal: Portal now allows illegal values & colors them red, but provides no alarms/warnings about the illegal settings. RAC 60/6X: ANSI ACM - User can enter ACM ATPC settings that will inhibit ACM from stepping up to the maximum modulation. If the max TX power setting specified is higher than the max TX power allowed at 256QAM, and the "Target Remote Fade Margin" is greater than 10db, then a significantly greater RSL will be required before the modulation will step up. Although the SNR is high enough to step-up, the system tries to maintain the requested target fade margin at the expense of stepping up the modulation. The consequence is that the link to never reach 256QAM. Solution is to configure the ATPC settings for maximum Tx power at 256QAM and not the lower modulations. DAC GE3: ACM on TC5 & TC6. Adaptive modulation cannot be used on backplane transport channels TC 5 or 6, unless a transport channel from 1-4 is also enabled. DAC 155oM: Ring wrapping takes up to a minute to complete after disconnecting the fiber cable IDU GE3 16x: Protection - TDM Tx switch exceeds 50ms on manual Tx and partner failed (average 90ms). Tx direction: Average: 90ms, Min 19ms, Max 153ms. Rx direction: Average: 94ms, Min 23ms, Max 134ms. IDU GE3 16x: The DAC 16xV2 is not transferring a trib clock to the DAC GE3 for SyncE purposes. IDU GE3 16x: Protection - TDM switch times on LOS exceed 50ms (Tx average 54ms, Rx average 86ms). On all RAC products that have DPP capability (RAC60/6X and IDU GE3), adding a circuit while in IF loopback will not result in traffic on that circuit until IF loopback mode is exited. IDU GE3 16x: On 55MHz/256QAM a small number of CRC errors are recorded when Ethernet traffic steps from zero to maximum. IDU GE3 16x: Protection - 7/14MHz Tx Ethernet and TDM switches exceed 50ms (average 120ms, up to 350-400ms). IDU GE3 16x: Protection - Tx and Rx, Ethernet and TDM switch on ODU cable removal exceed 50ms (average 90ms, max 150ms) RAC 60/6X: 1+1 ACM mode: If the Online RX is faded to DNL, (& the Offline Demod is locked), then removing the Offline RX source (ODU cable or RAC removal) results in a traffic outage until the Online RX unfades enough to lock up at its current RX modulation, or the connection to the Offline radio is restored IDU GE 20x: DS1 highest throughput profile 80MHz,256QAM,357Mhz, unable to lock up (or take more than 10 minutes to lock up) Do not use this profile with 6.0 release.

This issue was observed in a Frequency Diversity protected link (7MHz ETSI profile) while performing manual Tx Online switches. This causes long traffic outages during a Tx Online switch.

The labeling is wrong and displays Alarms 3-6 as Relays 1-4 . RIP: Add option for RIPv2 Broadcast. There is a problem with building networks that have TRuepoint, Constellation and Eclipse nodes. The older radios use RIPv2 broadcasts while Eclipse uses Multicasts. The older radios do not support OSPF. When more than 1 AUX is in the same INUe, Portal will no longer show the correct TTL input settings & status & also the AUX icon status is incorrect.

It was observed that Auto negotiation failed with certain types of third party equipment connected to an NMS port. 39879 39470 39973 RAC 60/6X: Reseating NCC can cause a 20-50 second outage ~1 minute after reseating. Licensing screen only shows RAC based licensed capacities for slots which contain RACS. Nodal licenses were not affected. IDU 300 SPE: Refreshing the [Priority Mapping] tab after setting the Priority Mode shows an "Invalid" message DAC GEv2: In DAC GE's performance data, counters were showing alignment & FCS errors, in bad packets & CRC alignment when Ethernet traffic was monitored for long periods. This was an internal DPP error, and did not affect customer traffic. Licensing: Update license calculations to enable full utilization of license bandwidth. With the current values, the full license bandwidth cannot be utilized. e.g. 100Mbps license allows (100/2.048) = 48xE1 which is actually only 98.3Mbps. Change to make this now 50E1 or 102 Mbps. Now resolved. DAC GE3: Optical SFP shows as 'UNKNOWN' for SFP type LS38-C3S-TC-N (079422656-001) . RAC 10: Enables a scrambler for 20E1. A modulator not locked alarm was reported when upgrading a link from 10E1 to 20E1. IDU 300 20X: Link not coming up on protected links after a power cycle at one end. Add a calibrated grid to the RSL history graphs. IDU 300 ES: Fading activity causes Transport Channel to stay down in mixed or VLAN mode . IDU GE 20x: SFP configuration on an IDU GE is lost after power cycle. DAC GE : LSP Ports will not come back up after shutdown using L2LA (GEv2). When using L2LA and shutting down C1, the physical ports will shutdown. However when C1 is enabled again the port will not come back up. DAC 155oM: make low Order Path alarms all critical. Security : User can be permanently locked out of eclipse (In Basic Security) DAC 3xDS3/E3M: The DS3 DAC switches about 30% of the time when an LOS alarm is generated on a single trib causing an unnecessary outage on the other 2 tribs. IDU SPE: Will not accept VLAN Mode. When switching from Transparent to VLAN mode and clicking SEND, the radio will not accept the change .Refreshing the Portal screen shows transparent mode is still active. Log shows that VLANs are misconfigured. Circuits: Provision allowed adding circuits in excess of the backplane capacity of 100E1 this brings down traffic on all existing circuits. License: Upgrading 64E1 link with 05.08.10 shows incorrect license (10E1). Does not affect traffic. IRU 600: Maximum Output power of Primary Reduced ~6dB when using unequal combiners . Allow the user to individually set the max/min power on both if an ACU is present. Event Browser: Configuration not supported alarm with every circuit change .Configuration not supported alarms are showing up in Provision every time a circuit change is made. Alarm shows for 0.5 seconds.

Closed Significant Issues

The following table lists significant issues that were discovered during development/testing since the version 05.01.44 general release. These issues have been fixed by this release.
Ref # Issue Description Max DS1 backplane capacity can be reduced based on AUX circuit connections. When the backplane bus is set to the DS1 rate (1.544Mbps), the max NxDS1 backplane capacity of 128xDS1 can be reduced to 123xDS1, depending on the number of AUX circuits configured and the order in which they are configured. This has been resolved in 6.0 Payload Encryption: Errored Seconds reported during long counts with automatic key change enabled. Automatic key change may cause a traffic hit. 8 errored seconds have been reported over a 72 hour count with automatic key change after every hour. DAC GE: Pause frames may not be generated on the physical ports when the DPP port is overloaded and there are 2 physical ports in use. The issue occurs when a DAC GE is DPP connected to a RAC60 and has two customer facing ports enabled with Flow Control On.

RAC 60/6X: Traffic hit upon re-insertion of the primary RAC after a power cycle with the primary RAC removed. Impacts Ethernet traffic minimally; typically one or two dropped frames (applies to DPP and backplane Ethernet traffic). PDH traffic can be disrupted for up to one second. This has been resolved in 6.0 RAC 60/6X: Extended outage times may occur on a DPP 1+1 HS/SD ACM link when the online RAC is removed. Traffic may be disrupted for about 2 seconds if the online RAC 60/6X is withdrawn on a DPP 1+1 link (hot-standby / space diversity) when configured for adaptive modulation. This has been resolved in 6.0 RAC 60/6X: Extended Rx outages may occur on IRU600 1+1 protected links (DS1 rates) when an off-line RAC 60 is re-inserted. While instances are infrequent, outages up to 59 seconds have been recorded. Ensure new RAC 60s are fitted during a maintenance window. This has been resolved in 6.0 IDU GE 20x: Some types of SFP do not work with LSP when Speed - Duplex is set to Fixed 1Gbps. A far-end port shutdown may not occur with some SFP modules when set for Fixed Speed-Duplex, with LSP and RFD. The solution is to set Auto for Speed-Duplex. This has been resolved in 6.0 RAC 60/6X: High-Priority backplane Ethernet traffic can be corrupted (frame drops) during a step-up from QPSK to 16QAM on 7MHz adaptive modulation profiles. Applies only to: a) Backplaneconnected Ethernet traffic where the traffic assigned to the backplane exceeds the capacity that can be supported at QPSK. DPP Ethernet, PDH, and AUX traffic is not affected. b) 7 GHz adaptive modulation profiles. The interim solution is to use the DPP for Ethernet traffic - avoid use of backplane-connected Ethernet for this 7MHz profile when using adaptive modulation. This has been resolved in 6.0 RAC 60/6X: The BBER Performance counter does not freeze when the Stop button is clicked. Only the BBER Performance counter is affected. All other G.826 counters operate correctly i.e. they freeze when the Stop button is clicked. This has been resolved in 6.0 RAC 60/6X: 1+1 Adaptive Modulation Links with Ethernet traffic on the backplane only (not DPP) may experience degraded Ethernet throughputs. When the DPP is not enabled on 1+1 ACM links operating Ethernet over the backplane it is possible for Ethernet traffic in one direction to be degraded due to the Tx and Rx functions on separate RACs (Primary and Secondary) being in different ACM modulation states with different capacities. This situation may occur from power-on, or from a fade/unfade, where the Offline Tx is not stepped up in modulation to match the Online Tx. When DPP is enabled this issue is not present. Interim solutions are: a) Enable the DPP for Ethernet traffic. b) Use the DPP for Ethernet and the backplane for Ethernet and/or PDH. This has been JUNE 22, 2011

resolved in 6.0 ES-14735 When switching to one of the two modem profiles: - 56Mhz 256 QAM Hi Gain 168E1 343Mbps - 56Mhz 256 QAM 184E1 366Mbps With payload encryption enabled, a key suspended alarm may occur and traffic will be interrupted. ES-14799 Auto capacity allocation does not work correctly when capacity usage exceeds the licensed amount. Instead of auto-allocating based on the licensed amount, traffic is dropped 5 minutes after exceeding the amount. Portal allows "Alarm Actions" configuration when security mode is set to Strong. Running a RAC 60 at 28MHz 64QAM Normal Profile can create unexpected air link errors and traffic hits when used with 15GHz ODU. If two Portal applications are managing the same radio, and two users with admin access rights are adding new users, then the last added user account will overwrite the user account previously added. Portal allows a user to set frequency diversity protection when payload encryption is enabled. Portal incorrectly shows an entry for Adaptive Modulation under "Transport Channel Mode" for a DAC GE card. With payload encryption on and using one of the following profiles: - 56Mhz 256 QAM Hi Gain 168E1 343Mbps - 56Mhz 256 QAM 184E1 366Mbps In approximately 15% of cases Traffic does not recover when the Rx signal faded below threshold levels and then normalized. ES-15166 ES-15722 ES-16191 ES-16571 ES-16640 ES-16297 IDU GE 20x: When changing from 40MHz/32QAM 100 DS1 to 40 MHz/128QAM 127 DS1 it is possible neither end of the link may lock. DAC 155eM: Shows incorrect transceiver type. Shows optical type , not electrical. This has been resolved in 6.0 DAC GE3: Ethernet Traffic is not delivered when a DAC GE3 circuit is mapped to a DAC E3DS3M (Ethernet NTU Mode). RAC 60/6X: Trib traffic hit of 20 to 40 seconds during a soft reset. With a RAC 60 or 6X is installed, a soft reset of the terminal causes a traffic hit of 20-40 seconds duration. DAC GE3: Errors observed when using ACM over the backplane transport channel. When configured for ACM operation over a backplane circuit, frame errors (approximately 1 per minute) are periodically seen. It is recommended that if ACM is in use to transport all Ethernet traffic across the DPP. ES-16304 DAC GE3: Frames are dropped when a single transport channel is configured to operate over multiple radio paths, using 'RFD + Protection' mode. Ethernet traffic does not run error-free if one of the RF paths has a uni-directional failure, i.e. one end is still transmitting. If the RF path is completely removed then error-free traffic is restored. RAC 60/6X: When the secondary RAC is re-inserted, a traffic hit of approximately 12 seconds can occur. DAC GE3: Removing an SFP or cable does not make the DPLL lose lock - Synchronous Ethernet does not operate reliably on the SFP ports. Removing the SFP transceiver or cable does not comply with G.8262 as the DPLL switches to another local clock source rather than going into holdover. Recommend to ports 1-3 for Synchronous Ethernet. ES-16635 DAC GE3: Traffic does not pass between a DAC GE and DAC GE3 over the backplane, if AM is enabled. If the terminal uses the backplane transport channel to configure Ethernet traffic from a DAC GE3 to a DAC GE2 using the Adaptive Modulation mode the system will report a persistent TC channel link JUNE 22, 2011

down alarm and traffic will not be established. ES-16641 ES-16645 DAC GE3: The software reset feature (via Portal's "Advanced Management" screen) for the DAC GE3 fails. Portal shows a "Reset failed" message. DAC GE3: In a 1+1 hot standby protected link, ACM will stop functioning after a protection switch has occurred, on the backplane connected traffic. When the link is set to ACM 1+1 hot standby, the transport channel shaping will initially operate correctly, but after 1-10 protection switches ACM shaping will cease to function. This causes a "TC Channel link down" alarm and impacts traffic across the transport channel. It is recommended that if ACM is in use to transport all Ethernet traffic across the DPP in 1+1 protected systems. ES-16652 DAC GE3: Errors when running jumbo frame traffic over multiple front ports. Occasional CRC errors have been observed when bursting a full load of jumbo frames into all the front panel ports P1, P2 and P3 simultaneously. No errors are seen with a full load of jumbo Frame traffic on a single port. DAC GE3: Data does not pass reliably through the DAC 155oM when operating in the NTU mode with Ethernet traffic sourced/sunk from a DAC GE3. CRC errors are frequently observed on the transport channel. DAC GE3: DPP traffic can show high-priority frame drops during AM step-downs (less than 1% of the time).When stepping down modulation in an AM link, there is a 1% chance of a single high priority frame drop during the transition. No errors have been observed during AM step-up in modulation. DAC GE3: CRC Errors observed if TC is configured to 197Mbps (128xDS1) between two DAC GE3's over the backplane. Portal allows 128 TC connections to a DAC GE3 TC; it should only allow 127 circuits to the DAC GE3. RAC 60/6X: Changing profiles occasionally results in a Remote Communications Failure alarm. This alarm can be cleared by toggling the digital loopback on and off. IDU GE 20x: The electrical SFP interface is down after a power cycle even though the port is enabled. The workaround is to send an Ethernet configuration to the radio. License: On the RAC 60, when set to highest capacity 100xE1/127xDS1, a Slot N License Violation alarm is raised after loading the RAC mode license file. When transitioning from nodal license to non-nodal license, the Configuration Not Supported and Slot N License Violation alarms are raised. The workaround is to reload the nodal mode license file. ES-17214 ES-17220 ES-17255 ES-17643 ES-17763 ES-17789 NCCv2: The Revertive Switching Wait Duration parameter will not hold its setting after being set twice. Portal: After Portal software load / activation, Portal software can appear frozen although the software has been activated. The workaround is to restart Portal. RAC 60/6X: A 1xSTM1+1xE1 RX protected link will result in a brief sync-loss / error burst when the offline Rx is faded to demod not locked. IDU GE3 16x: 1% frame drop observed on jumbo frames over 9985 bytes, but no dropped frames were recorded in RMON stats. IDU GE3 16x: AIS is not inserted on tribs dropped under adaptive modulation. IDU GE3 16x/RAC 60: When operation with the ODU 300SP+ only the 7MHz QPSK and 16QAM profile selections are available. The 14 & 28MHz profiles are not selectable. This issue is now resolved and the IDU GE3 and ODU 300SP+ can now support operation at 7 & 14MHz with the QPSK & 16QAM profiles and at 28MHz with the QPSK, 16QAM and 32 QAM profiles. DAC GE3: After upgrading the software from 5.05.42 to any release prior to 6.00.50 the DAC GE3 can take up to 20minutes to boot and be displayed correctly in portal. This issue is solved in the 6.00.50 release.

Important Notes
1. Traffic may be affected when upgrading software between two specific versions of software. Modules that have updated FPGA software will suffer a momentary loss of traffic. The use of Provision feature Scheduled Activation to preload software, and schedule upgrades at low traffic times of the day will help minimize disruption. Contact an Aviat Networks Technical Help Desk for details, contact details are on page 2 of these release notes. 2. When upgrading software ensure the remote end of a link is upgraded before the local end. 3. Care should be taken not to run OSPF and Static routing within the same internal OSPF routing domain. 4. If Portal loses communication with an IDU 300 SP radio when changing the IP address, restart Portal to restore communication. 5. Disable any PC firewalls before performing a software download. 6. Eclipse Portal Software version 5.0 includes an upgrade to Java version 6.0. This later version of Java provides improved memory management and operational performance.
