1. GENERAL
This section provides information regarding the routine and corrective maintenance
for the iPASOLINK of the 6 to 42 GHz PDH/SDH digital radio system.
The information includes the following with their instructions and procedures:
 Precautions for maintenance
 Materials for maintenance (test sets and accessories)
 Performing routine maintenance tasks
 Performing corrective maintenance tasks
NOTE: CWDMF does not have its registration information; its inventory information
cannot be retrieved. Inventory information of SFP/SAFE+ on CWDMF can
be retrieved.

1-2/END GENERAL
This page is intentionally left blank.

PRECAUTION 2-1
2. PRECAUTION
The maintenance personnel should report his/her arrival and departure from a station
to the relevant station. Following precautions must be carefully observed during
maintenance.
Warning
1. The –48V DC power is superimposed on the center conductor of the coaxial

cable between the IDU and the ODU. Connecting the test equipment directly to
this terminal may damage it and touching the coaxial cable core may cause
electrical shock.
2. Maintenance personnel must take necessary steps to prevent the Electrostatic

Discharge (ESD) that may damage the cards on the IDU or cause errors. Wear a
conductive wrist strap connected to the grounded (G) jack on the front of the
equipment shelf. This will minimize the static build-up during maintenance.
3. Turn off the ODU PWR switch on the IDU before connecting/disconnecting the I/
F cable to prevent the equipment from being damaged.
4. After turning on the equipment, wait at least for 1 minute before turning it off.
Repeatedly turning the power on and off within a short interval may cause the
equipment damaged.
5. Do not allow an ODU TX Output to be opened or short-circuited while the TX

power is on. Execute the TX Mute Control operation in the Maintenance Mode,
or turn the ODU PWR switch on IDU off before disconnecting a cable or feeder
from the ODU TX Output.
6. Contact NEC before downloading programs onto the WebLCT. Equipment may
not function correctly if the download takes place improperly.
Caution
1. In a system using the CWDM, do not stare at the laser beam or look at it directly
with optical instruments, or it may hurt your eyes (Class 1M laser product).
2. Be aware that the top surface of the IDU above MODEM turns very hot in
operation.

2-2 PRECAUTION
3. Before replacing the IDU, turn off the ODU PWR switch and disconnect all
cables.
4. Before performing the maintenance, the Maintenance Mode of IDU should be set
to on by the LCT.
5. In order to prevent the traffic from causing interruption while in the maintenance,
execute the TX/RX SW Manual Switching in the 1+1 system.
6. Detected/Reported alarm status is removed by the CPU RESET push button that
initializes the CPU. After initialized, the alarm information is properly provided
through relay contacts.
7. Information on the maintenance and the control such as Mute, CW, LB, etc. is
released if the power is turned off.
8. If each setup item of NE SETUP or SYSTEM OPERATION is changed during

operation, traffic will be momentarily interrupted.
9. When the TX SW is activated, momentary traffic interruption may occur.
10. After completing maintenance, restore all connections, manual control settings to
normal and confirm that all alarm LEDs are unlit.
11. After equipment start-up, allow the equipment to warm up at least 30 minutes.
Handling of Connectors
 Straight Type
To tighten the TNC-Male Connector of I/F Cable to the IDU, engage the connector
nut only using fingers while holding the cable by the other hand.

5.2 Loopback
If an interruption occurs to traffic, use the SDH/SONET/PDH analyzers to isolate the
faulty section, and by check the traffic signal using the loopback function. Set up the
test equipment according to the following diagrams for PDH or SDH configuration.
In the facility loopback, a signal is looped back toward the baseband interface
direction. In the terminal loopback, a signal is looped back toward the CS card
direction. They are performed at the STM-1/4 (SDH) or E1 (PDH) interfaces. (See
Notes 1, 2)
To execute the loopback control, set the system into the Maintenance mode.
5.2.1 IF Loopback
Execute the MODEM Loopback control to check the incoming traffic signal inside
MODEM interface (the traffic signal from E1 interfaces to wireless direction).

Control Items 5-3
NOTES:
1. Before executing IF Loopback, turn on the TX Mute Control to mask MOD ALM
and TX INPUT ALM that are to be generated where the IF Loopback is in
progress, suspending the MOD outputs.
2. The MOD ALM and TX INPUT ALM will be un-masked as soon as releasing the

5.3.3 Radio Control
There are several maintenance control items that can be set during Maintenance
Mode.
The function of each control is as follows; These windows are not enabled if the
system is not in the Maintenance mode.
 ATPC Manual Control

If TX Power Control Mode is selected to ATPC Mode, execute temporally fix control
to transmit POWER. Select the value range described in ( ) of ATPC Range that
located in the Provisioning Menu (MODEM Function setting -> TX Power Setting)
for Transmit POWER. ATPC Manual Control can be selected from either Auto or
Manual. If transmit POWER requires to temporally fix control, select Manual then
select fixed value (it will be fixed until Auto is selected).
NOTE: ATPC Manual Control is not effective if MTPC Mode is selected.
 TX Mute Control
Despite the equipment configuration setting, forcing the TX Mute Control to ON will
stop the transmit power of the ODU.
If Mute Control is set to OFF, it will cancel the Mute control.

NOTES:
1. If Mute Control is set to off and Mute OFF does not work due to uncontrollable
factors, Mute status will remain on.
2. In case of 1+1 HS configuration, the Mute OFF control does not mute both lines.
Moreover, when forced Mute is controlled in No.1/No.2, Maintenance Mode cannot set
to OFF.
3. When TX Mute is remotely controlled, the setting of the automatic restoration time is
possible. Therefore, TX Mute Release Time should be set.
4. TX Mute Release Time is set together with TX Mute Control by the item that becomes
effective only when TX Mute Control is done from a higher-level device.
 CW Control
CW (no transmission modulation) is controlled.
It is used when the frequency is measured with a frequency counter and when
spurious one is checked.
If you perform the CW control over a pre-made Mute ON, execute CW ON/OFF after
Mute OFF. At this time, when there is a factor that the CW control is not turned ON it
becomes CW control error.
In addition, in case of remote connection and operated Control CW, it may not be
able to recover again. CW Control will restore automatically according to the TX
Mute Release Time parameter.

5-76 Control Items
 TX Modulation Manual Control

The flat rate of the transmission modulation method of the control station in the AMR
mode is temporarily managed.
The modulation method can be set according to the target device regardless of the
AMR Range setting.
Under the 1+0 configuration, each Slot#/Slot# is individually controlled.
This control is done by exchanging request/answer of the control between local/

remote stations as well as LB2.
When the TX Modulation Manual Control setting is returned from Manual to Auto,
the fixed modulation method is returned to QPSK.
5.3.3.1 ATPC Manual Control
Performing this function (Manual Control) sets the Maintenance Mode to ON.
However, in case of Auto setting and if Maintenance Mode is set to OFF, it will

6.1.1 Reporting Methods

Equipment condition can be obtained by the WebLCT. The condition is also visibly
reported using indication lamps on the equipment. iPASOLINK defines the following
alarm status:
6.1.2 Alarm Status

 CL [Cleared]:
CL indicates that one or more previously reported alarms has/have been cleared. This
state applies to all alarms detected for this managed object with the same alarm type,
probable cause and specific problems (if given). Multiple associated notifications
may be cleared by using the Correlated notifications parameter (defined below).
 ID [Indeterminate]:
ID2 indicates that the detected condition cannot be determined to classify the severity
level.
 CR [Critical]:
CR indicates for the Critical Alarm that causes a service affecting failure, which
requir3es an immediate corrective action. If this level of condition is reported, the
managed object could totally go out of service, restoring its capability.
 MJ [Major]:
MJ indicates for the Major Alarm that causes a service affecting failure which
requires an urgent corrective action. If this level of condition is reported, the
capability of the managed object could be severely degraded, restoring its full
capability.
 MN [Minor]:
MN indicates for the Minor Alarm that detects the existence of a non-service
affecting condition, which requires the corrective action in order to prevent a more
serious (such as a service affecting) failure. This condition does not degrade the
capacity of the managed object.
 WR [Warning]:
WR indicates for the detection of a potential or impending service affecting fault,
before any significant effects have been felt. Action should be taken to further
diagnose (if necessary) and correct the problem in order to prevent a more serious
failure, such as a service affecting fault.
