2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiPacket Microwave is a microwave system designed to meet the requirements of evolved transport networks with the target of minimizing the operator Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). It joins together the benefits of an advanced scalable microwave radio and of a real carrier grade Ethernet nodal solution.

FlexiPacket Microwave is the mean to deploy a cost-effective microwave infrastructure for 3G, WiMAX and LTE backhaul, high speed wireless Internet networks, fixed broadband access backhaul and private wireless networks.

FlexiPacket Microwave is conceived both for pure packet and TDM+Packet hybrid networks. T

FlexiPacket MultiRadio

FlexiPacket MultiRadio is the new outdoor unit of Nokia Siemens Networks FlexiPacket Microwave: a new microwave system designed to meet the requirements of evolved transport networks in terms of flexibility and efficiency, enhanced with new features and system types, to address both access and aggregation part of the network.

6. FIXED BUGS

- none

7. LIMITATIONS

1+1 FD is not hitless. 1+1 FD has been removed from this release and this will be fixed in a next sw maintenance release.

In some low modulation/profiles, if the maximum number of E1 is selected, the remaining bandwidth for Ethernet and DCN could be not sufficient for management bandwidth.

LOF and errors during long recording: this will be fixed in a next sw maintenance release

Ethernet throughput values are lower than the declared values: about 98% of the traffic throughput is reached. This behaviour will be fixed in the next maintenance release.

8. HINTS AND PROCEDURES

8.1 License Management

Software licenses are managed by a web-based tool called CLicS. Operators need to log into CLicS via the following URL and generate licenses according to the equipment serial number.

CLicS URL: https://online.portal.nokiasiemensnetworks.com

8.2 OOB Interface IDU

A local terminal can be directly connected to the OOB interface of the IDU FPH800 with the IP address 192.168.254.100/24.



Page 9 of 12

This IP address is not configurable.

8.3 Public IP Address of DCN Interface IDU

DCN Port System IP address is user-configurable via WebLCT.

Default IP address: 192.168.255.100/24

The management VLAN ID must be set (permitted values 51 ~ 4094) in order to use In-Band Management.

Default manageent VLAN ID is 127.

8.4 Private interface details ODU

A local terminal can be directly connected using the Ethernet interface of the ODU with IP address 192.168.255.3/24.

8.5 ODU management configuration

ODU management is tagged by default (TPID=8100 VLAN=127) and also IDU management is; when the bridge mode is 802.1Q, ODU could be untagged or tagged; when the bridge mode is 802.1ad, ODU could be untagged or tagged.VLAN management interfaces in NE management start enable for all the 4 ports, but only the ports configured as IDU/ODU should be configured.

To change the ODU management mode or the TAG value and recover all in local, is suggested to change the configuration in this sequence: ODU remote, ODU local, IDU remote and IDU local

8.6 DCN capability

As described in chapter 7, if the maximum number of E1s is selected in some bandwidth/modulation profiles, the remaining Bandwidth for Ethernet (DCN+User Ethernet) can be low (see Table 1). In case the remaining bandwidth is 256Kbps or 512Kbps: A. If the Bandwidth are all dedicated for DCN, the management shall not experience any problem.

B. If the Bandwidth are shared by DCN and User Ethernet (The User Ethernet is low priority, User Ethernet can cause congestion), the management can experience congestion problems.



Page 10 of 12

In B, even the QoS is enabled, it is not gurantees that the DCN traffic can pass without issues and the management can eventually be blocked.

This imply that also FTP is impacted and could fail or take long time (30m) and make Eth traffic instability.

Workaround:The possible work around is to configure a number of E1s so that remaining Ethernet bandwidth is more than 512 Kbps.

8.7 Odd DRR weight becomes even

Description: in IDU, when DRR weight is configured with an odd number, the system will set the actual value as odd +1.

Suggestion: operators can use even numbers for weights. For example, instead of 1, 3, and 5, operators can use 2, 6, and 10.

8.8 Notes about backup and restore in ODU

The backup procedure copies all the configuration of the ODU in the file \tffs0\fpmrBackup.gz (ODU--->fpmrBackup.gz). The restore procedure copy all the configuration of the file \tffs0\fpmrBackup.gz on the ODU (fpmrBackup.gz--->ODU). Via WebLCT it is possible to transfer the config file from the ODU to the PC and viceversa. The WebLCT allows to save the file with a different name on the PC and to save it automatically on the ODU with the correct name in the correct ODU directory (\tffs0\fpmrBackup.gz). The file transfer of the fpmrBackup.gz is possible with any ftp client using, taking care of these:

- the restore file name must be \fpmrBackup.gz and must be saved in \tffs0. On the contrary the restore wont work.

- The file transfer should be binary and only one file per time.

8.9 ACM behaviour and applicability

Adapive Modulation functionality guarantees hitless TDM traffic, as the E1 number configured in IDU is less or equal to the maximum E1 number corresponding to the lower modulation configured in ODU for ACM range.

Idu configuration adapts this range based on the configuration done in ODU and limit the maximum number of E1 that can be configured.

For Eth traffic, if the capacity will be the minimum foreseen for the lowest modulation no packect loss will be present, if the capacity is higher the packet will be discarded according to the new modulation bandwidth with QoS criteria.

8.10 ODU-ODU cables

Two different kinds of ODU-ODU cables can be used:

T557OUCB.00: ODU to ODU interconnection cable, 10m; to be used only for 1+1FD/SD and 2+0 FD system types (2+0 FD not supported in this release) T557OUXPC.00: ODU to ODU interconnection cable for XPIC, 3m; to be used only for 2+0 XPIC system type (not supported in this sw release) Particular care must be taken during assembling, mounting and connection of these cables to the ODUs, to avoid damage to the connector pins. Please refer to the Installation Manual for further details.
