About Eclipse
Welcome to the Eclipse User Manual.
This introduction describes:
• What Is Eclipse? on page -3
• What You Need To Know to Use Eclipse on page -3
• About the Eclipse Documentation on page -4
• Documentation Conventions and Terminology on page -5
What Is Eclipse?
What is Eclipse? Eclipse is your chosen solution for microwave radio transmission. The
Eclipse Microwave Radio System consists of the Eclipse Node and the Eclipse
Terminal. Both are split-architecture radios with an antenna-mounted outdoor unit
and a rack-mounted indoor unit.
The Eclipse Node supports multiple point-to-point radios for PDH, SDH and/or
Ethernet on a single rack-mounted platform, to form a complete network nod e for star
or ring configurations on frequency bands 5 to 38 GHz.
The Eclipse Terminal is optimized for single-link installations or where back-to-back
network connection of terminals is preferred. Terminals may also be used to spur from
an Eclipse Node. Different versions are available for PDH, SDH or Ethernet, on
frequency bands 5 to 38 GHz.
For an introduction to the Eclipse system, see the System Overview.
For an introduction to Portal, the Eclipse management software, see the Introduction
to Portal.
What You Need To Know to Use Eclipse
To install and commission Eclipse, we recommend you have the following knowledge
and skills:
• A basic understanding of the principles of microwave transmission.
• Installation and main te nance expe ri en ce on PDH and SDH digital microwave radio
systems.
• Familiarity with Ethernet and/or SDH multiplexing where these traffic options are
to be employed on Eclipse.

Exposure: Eclipse
The equipment has been designed to be free of unnecessary protrusions
or sharp surfaces that may catch or otherwise cause injury during
handling. However, always take care when working on or around the
equipment.
Eclipse fiber optic transmitters are IEC60825-1 / 21CFR1040-1 Class I
compliant and present no danger to personnel in normal use. However:
Do not look into active unterminated optical ports or fibers. If visual
inspection is required ensure the equipment is turned off or, if a fiber
cable, disconnect the far end.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using an optical test set.
Incorrect calibration or control settings could result in hazardous levels of
radiation.
Protect/cover unconnected optical fiber connectors with dust caps.
Place all optical fiber cuttings in a suitable container for safe disposal.
Bare fibers and fiber scraps can easily penetrate the skin and eyes.
installation or maintenance. The ODU is nominally 10 kg (22 lb).
However, antennas with their mounting hardware can weigh in excess of
100 kg (220 lb) and require specialized lifting equipment and an operator
trained and certified in its use.
The Eclipse radio does not generate RF fields intense enough to cause RF
burns. However, when installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna
always comply with the Protection from RF Exposure guidelines under
General Hazards.
Safety Warnings When a practice or procedure poses implied or potential harm to the user
or to the radio equipment, a warning is included in this manual.

General Hazards
The following table describes the general hazards that must be addressed when
planning and installing an Eclipse system.
For more information on health and safety when using Harris Stratex Networks
products, refer to Harris Stratex Networks’ Best Practices Guide.
Topic Information
Airflow Requirements Rack installations must be made so the airflow required for safe and
correct operation of Eclipse is not compromised. For the Eclipse
Node, unobstructed air passage must be maintained to each side of
the indoor unit, which requires a minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) of
side spacing to any rack panels, cable bundles or similar.
Circuit Overloading When connecting the Eclipse, determine the effect this will have on
the power supply circuit protection devices, and supply wiring.
Check Eclipse power consumption specifications and the supply
capability of the power supply system. This check of capacity must
extend to the dc power supply and not just to an intermediate
connection point.
Eclipse Indoor Unit
Earthing
ESD ESD (electrostatic discharge) can damage electronic components.
The Eclipse indoor unit earth must be connected directly to the dc
supply system earthing conductor, or to a bonding jumper from an
earthing terminal bar, or bus to which the dc supply system
earthing is connected.
Even if components remain functional, ESD can cause latent
damage that results in premature failure. Always wear proper ESD
grounding straps when changing or handling the plug-in cards and
avoid hand contact with the PCB back-plane and top-plane. Connect
your ESD grounding strap to the combined ESD and ground
connector on the INU rack ear. Spare plug-in cards or cards to be
returned for service must be enclosed in an anti-static bag. When
removing a card from the anti-static bag for installation in an INU,
or placing a card in a bag, do so at the INU and only when
connected to the INU via your ESD grounding strap.

Protection from RF
Exposure
When installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna always comply
with the following:
• Locate the antenna such that it does not infringe the RF exposure
guidelines for general public. Refer to General Public Compliance
Boundary in RF Exposure Guidelines.
• Stay aware of the potential risk of RF exposure and take
appropriate precautions. Refer to Occupational Compliance
Boundary in
RF Exposure Guidelines.
• Do not stand in front of or look into an antenna without first
ensuring the associated transmitter or transmitters are switched
off.
• At a multi-antenna site ask the site owner or operator for details
of other radio services active at the site and for their
requirements/recommendations for protection against
potentially harmful exposure to RF radiation.
• When it is not possible to switch transmitters off at a
multi-antenna site and there is potential for exposure to harmful
levels of RF radiation, wear a protective suit.
• Do not look into the waveguide port of an ODU when the radio is
active.
Fiber Optic Cables Handle optical fibers with care. Keep them in a safe and secure
location during installation.
Do not attempt to bend them beyond their minimum bend radius.
Protect/cover unconnected optical fiber connectors with dust caps.
Ground Connections Reliable grounding of the Eclipse system must be maintained. Refer
to instructions in the manual for grounding of the ODU, ODU cable,
lightning surge suppressor, and indoor unit.
Lightning Surge
Suppressor
Mains Power Supply
Routing
All Eclipse ODU cables must be fitted with the specified surge
suppressor(s).
Eclipse dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to
be routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept
away from any power lines which cross them.
Maximum Ambient
Temperature
The maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) for an Eclipse indoor
unit is
+45° C (113° F), and +55° C (131° F) for an ODU. To ensure
correct operation and to maximize long term component reliability,
ambient temperatures must not be exceeded. Operational
specification compliance is not guaranteed for higher ambients.
Mechanical Loading When installing an indoor unit in a rack, ensure the rack is securely
anchored. Ensure that the additional loading of an Eclipse indoor
unit or units will not cause any reduction in the mechanical stability
of the rack.

Considerations
Restricted Access The Eclipse system must be installed in restricted access sites. The
The Eclipse radio has the +ve pin on its dc power supply connector
fastened directly to the chassis. It must be used with a -48 Vdc
power supply which has a +ve earth; the power supply earth
conductor is the +ve supply to the radio.
• There must be no switching or disconnecting devices in this earth
conductor between the dc power supply and the point of
connection to an Eclipse system.
• The power supply must be located in the same premises as the
Eclipse system.
An appropriate power supply disconnect device should be provided
as part of the building installation.
If the Eclipse indoor unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. The maximum
ambient temperature (Tmra) of +45° Celsius (113° F) applies to
the immediate operating environment of the Eclipse indoor unit,
which, if installed in a rack, is the ambient within the rack.
indoor unit and associated power supply must be installed in
restricted areas, such as dedicated equipment rooms, closets,
cabinets, or the like. Access to the tower and ODU/antenna location
must be restricted
Note: For USA:
In restricted access areas install the Eclipse system in accordance
with articles 110-26 and 110-27 of the 2002 National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or to any subsequent update to this code for
the relevant articles.
RF Exposure Guidelines
The following MPE (maximum permissible exposure) calculations have been produced
in accordance with the guidelines of EN 50383/EN 50385. These calculations
represent examples only and do not include every possible combination of output

• Antennas on page 1-17
• Power Supply on page 1-18
• Platform Layout and Interoperation Data on page 1-18
Eclipse Platforms
Eclipse is available on two platform types, Terminal and Node. Both employ a
split-mount architecture with a rack-mounted indoor unit and direct-mounted ODUs
connected by a single coaxial cable. Refer to:
• Eclipse Terminal on page 1-1
• Eclipse Node on page 1-6
• Eclipse ODUs on page 1-14
Eclipse Terminal
Eclipse Terminals are single-link radios, comprising an IDU and ODU. Multiple IDUs
are in the IDU 300 product group. Three ODUs are available for these IDUS.
Terminals may be operated as single links, or networked where IDUs are back-to-back
connected via their tributary ports at intermediate sites.
Most Terminals can be paired for protected link operation.
Terminals may also be over-air interfaced to like Terminals of higher or lower ultimate
capacity and, with the exception of the IDUsp, to Eclipse Node.

Capacity is licensed. The base configuration (no license required) supports 20xE1 or
20xDS1 circuits. The licensed extensions enable Ethernet in steps to 50, 100, 150, 200,
or 360 Mbps, each with up to 20xE1 or 20xDS1 waysides.
Protected 1+1 hot-standby or space diversity operation is configured by adding a
second IDU GE 20x. Ethernet traffic is supported on a single interface to one of the
IDUs. E1/DS1 traffic is supported on interfaces to both IDUs using Y-cables.
The 1RU IDU GE 20x complies with ETSI half-rack mechanical specifications with a
rack depth of 240 mm (9.4”).
Figure 1-7. IDU GE 20x
IDU GE 20x is also available in a ‘Connect’ link package, where a package comprises
two terminals, each with one IDU GE 20x, and one ODU 300 outdoor unit, which
depending on the required throughput and band, can be ODU 300sp, hp or ep.
Alarm I/O options are included.
An IDU GE 20x 1+0 terminal can be over-air interfaced to an Eclipse Node comprising
the INU, RAC 30 or RAC 3X, DAC GE or DAC ES, and ODU 300. Where E1 or DS1 side
channels are required, a DAC 4x or DAC 16x is included. Similarly an AUX is included
where external Alarm I/O interfaces are required.
For protected IDU GE 20x operation, both ends of the link must be IDU GE 20x.
Eclipse Node
Eclipse Node replaces the traditional terminal or single-link based approach to
networking with a nodal solution. One Eclipse platform directly supports up to six
links, on frequency bands from 5 to 38 GHz.
Radio paths and customer interfaces are customized by plug-in cards. A high-speed
backplane bus provides traffic and services interconnection.
The figure below shows an Eclipse Node comprising an INU (Indoor Node Unit) with
three ODUs.

Chapter 1. System Overview
RAC 30A
RAC 30A supports adaptive and non-adaptive modulation options.
For adaptive modulation it uses one of three automatically and dynamically switched
modulations - QPSK, 16 QAM or 64 QAM so that for a given RF channel bandwidth of
7, 14 or 28 MHz, a twofold improvement in data throughput is provided for a change
from QPSK to 16 QAM, and a threefold improvement to 64 QAM. Modulation switching
is hitless for priority traffic.
Adaptive modulation capacity options extend over:
•10 to 130 Mbps Ethernet
• 5x to 63xE1
• 8x to 84xDS1
For non-adaptive modulation operation, its capacity options are the same as RAC 30v3.
RAC 30A interfaces to an ODU 300hp/ep/sp for ETSI channel bandwidths to 28 MHz,
or with ODU 300hp/ep for ANSI channel bandwidths to 30 MHz.
RAC 30A is compatible with RAC 30v3 or RAC 30v2 for non-adaptive operation.

Chapter 1. System Overview
Eclipse ODUs
There are three mechanically similar ODUs. They are band specific and supplied with
diplexers for Tx high or Tx low working. The one exception is at 5 GHz, where ODU
300ep is software-switched for Tx high or Tx low, and a 7/16” female DIN connector
replaces the waveguide port used on all higher bands.
• ODUs for 6 to 38 GHz are designed for direct-antenna mounting, but can be remote
mounted.
•The 5 GHz ODU 300ep requires remote mounting, and is supplied with a
remote-mount installation kit.
All ODUs support ATPC.
ODUs are frequency-band specific, but within each band are capacity independent up
to their design maximums. Main performance characteristics of the ODU 300 series
summarized in Table 1-2.
ODU 300
There are three ODUs for Eclipse INUs and IDUs:
•ODU 300sp
•ODU 300hp
•ODU 300ep
Channel bandwidths range from 3.5 to 56MHz depending on the ODU, band-plan, and
capacity/modulation option selected.
ODU 300ep availability is now limited to 5, 13 and 15 GHz. It is required for 5 GHz, and
is an option at 13 and 15 GHz.
Within their band limitations the ODU 300hp and ODU 300ep are over-air
compatible. Both are supported from RAC 30, RAC 40, RAC 3X, RAC 4X, or 300 series
IDUs, except IDUsp for the ODU 300ep.
The lower capacity ODU 300sp is only over-air compatible with another ODU 300sp,
and is supported from RAC 30, and all 300 series IDUs except IDU 155o.
ODU 300sp supports:
• 7 to 38 GHz
• Standard power transceiver
•2x to 40x E1
• Up to 80 Mbps Ethernet
• QPSK or 16 QAM modulation

ODU 300hp and ODU 300ep Compatibility
These units are air-compatible, but the following points should be considered:
• When sparing an ODU 300hp with an ODU 300ep (or vice-versa), both ODUs must
be on the same frequency band and the selected sub-band option must support the
carrier spot frequencies. In some cases the sub-band options differ. Refer to the
Eclipse Tuning Guide for guidance, which is available from HSX Help Desks.
• ODU 300hp weighs 6.4 kg, whereas the ODU 300ep weighs 8.3kg.
• ODU 300hp power consumption is nominally 40W, whereas the ODU 300ep
consumption is 50W. Where appropriate, consider the impact on site power supply
loading when sparing an ODU 300hp with an ODU 300ep.
• The Tx power control range for the ODU 300hp and the ODU 300ep differ. See
Table 1-3. The manual Tx control range must be considered for heavily (manually)
attenuated links when substituting an ODU 300ep with an ODU 300hp.
• The Tx output power and Rx sensitivity figures for ODU 300hp and ODU 300ep vary
depending on the ODU frequency band. Refer to the Eclipse datasheets for specific
details. Differences should be considered to ensure target design fade margins are
maintained when substituting ODU 300ep for ODU 300hp, and vice-versa.
•In a protected RAC40/RAC 4X pairing, support is provided from SW release 4.3, for
mixed ODU 300hp and ODU 300ep operation. Mixed hp/ep operation in protected
RAC 40/4X configurations prior to this release is not recommended.

Eclipse Configuration and Management
Eclipse is a software-driven product; there are no manual controls. Configuration and
management is achieved via Portal and ProVision.
• Portal is a PC based configuration and diagnostics tool for Eclipse.
• ProVision is the Eclipse network element manager. ProVision also supports other
Harris Stratex products, including legacy products.
Portal is supported in the Eclipse system software, such that once installed on a PC, it
automatically downloads support from the radio as needed to ensure Portal always
matches the version of system software supplied, or subsequently downloaded in any
radio upgrade.
Portal has the look and feel of a Windows environment with screen-based views and
prompts for all configuration and diagnostic attributes.
A Portal PC connects to an INU/INUe/IDU using Ethernet or V.24 options.
For more information on Portal, see Introduction to Portal.
ProVision is the network element manager for Eclipse, TRuepoint, Constellation, and
ADR. It also provides management for legacy radios such as Altium, XP4, DXR,
Megastar and Spectrum.
ProVision is installed on a Windows or Solaris server, typically at a network operating
center, and communicates with network elements using standard LAN/WAN IP
addressing and routing; each radio has its own unique IP address.
For more information about ProVision, see the separate ProVision User Guide
documentation.
Antennas
Antennas for direct mounting an Eclipse ODU are available in diameters from 0.3m
(1ft) to 1.8m (6ft), depending on the frequency band. These antennas are high
performance, low profile shielded types and are supplied complete with a customized
ODU mounting collar and feed-point.
A polarization rotator is included within the antenna collar, and direct-mounting equal
or unequal loss couplers are available for single antenna protected operation.
Antenna mounts are designed for use on industry-standard 115 mm OD (4.5 inch)
pipe-mounts.
An Eclipse ODU can also be used with standard antennas via a remote-mount kit and
flexible waveguide.

Power Supply
Eclipse is designed to operate from a -48 Vdc power supply (+ve earth) but will operate
to specification over a voltage range of -40.5 to -60 Vdc.
The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for a -48 Vdc SELV (Safety Extra
Low Voltage) output (60 Vdc maximum limited).

2. Over-air compatibility for like capacity with other Terminals and/or Eclipse Node (INU/INUe + ODU). IDU E1/
DS1 tribs are end-end compatible with INU DAC 4x and DAC 16x plug-ins. The auxiliary function provided on
IDUs is end-end compatible with the INU/INUe AUX plug-in. Over-a ir interoperability is supported between
ODU 300ep and hp; ODU 300sp is only interoperable with another ODU 300sp. IDU-to-INU compatibility
does not apply to protected operation; where protected IDUs are to be installed they must be at both
ends of the link.
3. Compatibility includes RAC 30v2 from SW release 3.5 (RAC 30v3 compatible mode). Applies to ETSI rates
only.
IDU GE 20x Compatibility
IDU GE 20x can be over-air interfaced to:
• INU/INUe fitted with a RAC 30v3, RAC30A [non-adaptive modulation] or RAC 3X.
For ETSI bands it also applies to RAC 30v2+.
• Ethernet traffic is terminated on a DAC GE or DAC ES.
• E1/DS1 traffic is terminated on a DAC 16x or DAC 4x.
• External alarm I/O interfaces are terminated on an AUX.
• IDU ES for Ethernet and up to 8xE1.
• IDU 300 20xV2 for up to 20xE1 only.
Table 1-6 shows compatibility for ETSI rates.
Table 1-7 shows compatibility for ANSI rates.

PDH Trib Ports
Tribs on all 300 series PDH IDUs are on individual RJ-45 connectors.
• E1 trib options are 75 ohm unbalanced or 120 ohms balanced.
• DS1 trib encoding options are AMI or B8ZS. Line impedance is fixed at 100 ohms
balanced and line length is selectable.
Trib cable options include:
• An RJ-45 to 2xBNC cable assembly.
• An RJ-45 to RJ-45 straight cable assembly for extension to an RJ-45 patch panel.
• An RJ-45 to RJ-45 cross-over cable assembly for use between IDUs at repeater or
branch sites.
• An RJ-45 to wire-wrap cable assembly.
• Splitter Y-cables for protected hot-standby operation.
For more information on cable assemblies and connector pin-outs refer to
Appendix D.
Vol. II-2-4 Harris Stratex Networks
Page 71
SDH Trib Ports
The IDU 155o supports one STM1/OC3, optical tributary. The connectors are SC type,
and cable options are available, as accessories, for extension to SC, FC or LC types.
The receive-level range is -31 dBm (max sensitivity) to -7 dBm (max input power).
Transmit output is within limits of -15 dBm to -8 dBm.
For protected operation optical splitter Y-cables are available to provide extensions
from SC to SC, FC or LC connectors.
The SDH optical line code is Binary Scrambled NRZ (Non Return to Zero).
Auto Insertion of AIS or PRBS on Tribs
When a link demodulator-unlock occurs, it inserts an alarm signal (AIS or PRBS15) on
all trib circuits towards the customer. (Demodulator unlock may occur under severe
fading or an equipment fault).
• For all E1 or DS1, tribs AIS is inserted.
• For STM1/OC3 tribs a PRBS15 pattern (15 bit pseudo-random bit sequence) is
inserted.
An on-board master clock maintains customer-facing clocking references when the
expected signal input and associated clocking reference from its link is missing, or
below the minimum level required.
Eclipse User Manual
AIS/PRBS15 may be forced onto a tributary using the Systems Control
screen.
E1 Trib Performance Monitoring
A CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) function is supported on the DAC module in the
IDU GE 2ox and IDU 300 20xV2 to provide a background error performance indicator
for a selected E1 trib circuit.
The check process accesses the G.704, CRC4 Multiframe, which is a background error
check function provided between devices operating with G.704 framing.
• The circuit being monitored must be end-to-end terminated on framed-rate
multiplexers, or similar, to generate the G.704 framing, which includes the CRC
function. In other words, the circuit supported by the IDUs must be operational for
user traffic to provide the multiframe needed for the monitoring process.
• The errors detected by the monitoring process are circuit errors. That is, they may
have been generated by any device within the circuit, which include s all upstream or
downstream devices from the IDUs.
• Separate monitoring options are provided for upstream and downstream traffic
directions.
• Traffic on the selected trib is not affected.
For more information, refer to E1 Trib Performance on page 13-22 of Volume IV.

Chapter 2. Eclipse Terminals
Aux Data Port
All PDH/SDH IDUs with the exception of the IDUsp support synchronous or
asynchronous auxiliary data. The IDUsp only supports the synchronous option. The
data connector is a DB-9 female.
• Synchronous conforms to TIA/EIA-422 / V.11 at 64kbps, with selectable clock.
The source of the transmit clock can be set to internal (provided by the auxiliary card)
or external (provided by the user). For an external clock, channel synchronization is
supported by a selectable clock phase (rising or dropping edge of the clock pulse).
• Asynchronous conforms to TIA/EIA-562 (electrically compatible with RS-232 /
V.24)
• Asynchronous baud rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200bps, with parity
and stop bit selection.
Auxiliary data is transported within the link overhead, which is shared with NMS data.
Aux Data cable options include:
• Async DB-9 to wire-wrap.
• Sync DB-9 to wire-wrap.
• Async DB-9 to DB-9 crossover.
• Sync DB-9 to DB-9 crossover.
For more information on cable assemblies refer to Appendix D.
Alarm I/O Port
All IDUs, with the exception of the IDUsp, include a front panel Alarm I/O connector.
(IDUsp does not support an Alarm I/O function).
The Alarm I/O function supports two TTL alarm inputs and four Form C relay outputs.
The connector is an HD-15 female.
Input events are mapped to outputs:
• Individual AUX alarm inputs o r internal alarm events may be mapped to any output
within the network.
• Multiple inputs or internal events may be mapped to a common output.
Mapping is achieved using IP addressing for the destination Terminal, or if the
destination is an Eclipse Node, to its IP address plus the slot location and output
number for the AUX plug-in.
Individual alarm inputs and relay outputs can be named. A severity level can also be
assigned to alarm inputs.
An HD-15 to wire-wrap Alarm I/O cable assembly is available as an option. For details
refer to Appendix D.
Alarm Inputs
The active state of each TTL alarm input is configurable to be active if the voltage on the
input is high, or active if the voltage is low. The alarm software detects a change in the
state of each input circuit, and raises or clears an input accordingly. The nominal alarm
polling rate is 1 second. Fleeting changes are ignored.
• Input state changes are captured in the event log as an alarm.
Vol. II-2-6 Harris Stratex Networks

The output relays may be configured to be energized or de-energized on receipt of an
alarm event. A user can also select on the Alarm I/O connector a normally closed, or
normally open contact pair. The relay contacts are specified at:
Maximum Voltage 250 Volts
Maximum Current 2 Amps (applies up to 30 Volts)
Maximum Power 60 Watts
Note: These are maximum values, which require de-rating if the relay is to be used for
frequent-switch applications.
The contact voltage must be restricted to less than 60 Volts for compliance
with SELV regulations.

RJ-45 connector provides a port for Ethernet network
management access:
• For IDUs fitted with a V.24 maintenance port and not
user-configured for DHCP, Portal login requires entry of a
LAN compatible IP address in your Portal PC TCP/IP settings.
• For IDUs fitted with a V.24 maintenance port and DHCP
user-configured, DHCP Portal login requires selection of
‘Obtain an IP address automatically’ on your Portal PC TCP/
IP settings.
• For IDUs that do not have a V.24 connector the default
Ethernet Portal login uses a DHCP connection.
For protectable IDUs a dual RJ-45 connector assembly is fitted
to support NMS connectivity to its protection partner, and to a
Portal PC.
The assembly is also used to provide NMS connectivity to
co-located Harris Stratex or third party radios.

RJ-45 connector.
For the IDU 20x, IDU300 8x, IDU300 20x and IDUsp 16x, it
provides interconnection between paired IDUs for 1+1
hot-standby protection. Protection switching is not hitless.
For the IDU 300 20xV2 and IDU 155o it provides bus
interconnection between paired IDUs for hot-standby or space
diversity. Tx switching is not hitless, Rx path switching (voting)
is hitless for hot-standby and space diversity operation.
For the IDU 20xV2 it also supports trib expansion
(interconnection) when configured for protected operation with
capacities above 20xE1 / 16xDS1. Traffic from the standby IDU
is routed to the online IDU to support termination of up to
40xE1 or 32xDS1 tribs. In this configuration trib and PSU
protection is not supported, however ODU protection functions
are retained. Capacities above 20xE1 or 16xDS1 require a
capacity license.
For all IDUs, except IDUsp 16x, Tx/Rx online and primary/
secondary status is indicated by the protection connector LEDs
as:
• Green Online LED is on for an online Tx and/or Rx. (Normally
the online IDU is online for Tx and Rx).
• Green Online LED is off for the offline IDU (IDU is not
transmitting or controlling the Rx diversity bus. (Only IDU
300 20xV2 and IDU 155o have a diversity bus).
• Orange Primary LED is on for the primary IDU. (The primary
designated IDU is default online for Tx and Rx).
• Orange Primary LED is off for the secondary IDU.
For the IDUsp 16x the LED indications are reversed, that is the
orange LED indicates online status, and the green LED primary/

IDU ES
IDU ES supports Fast Ethernet connections to 200 Mbps with up to 8xE1/DS1 wayside
circuits. Depending on the ODU and required capacity, over-air channel bandwidths
are selected using modulation options from QPSK to 256 QAM.
IDU ES includes a Layer 2 switch to support four customer 10/100base-T ports, two
over-air transport channels and comprehensive QoS options.
Base capacity licences apply, with access to the higher capacities provided by an
additional software-keyed license.
An IDU ES can be over-air interfaced to an Eclipse Node or IDU GE 20x.

Connect ES Link Package
IDU ES is promoted as a ‘Connect ES’ link package. The package comprises two
terminals (2x IDU ES with license, and 2x ODU).
• Direct-mount antenna and ODU cable options are separately ordered.
• Depending on the required Ethernet capacity, capacity upgrade path, and frequency
band, Connect ES is supplied with ODU 300sp, hp, or ep.
Connect ES links may be operated back-to-back in networked applications
Connect ES Capacity and Bandwidth Options
For IDU ES with ODU 300sp, capacity and bandwidth options are indicated in Figure
2-4 and detailed in Table 2-6.
For IDU ES with ODU 300hp or ODU 300ep, capacity and bandwidth options are
indicated in Figure 2-5 and detailed in Table 2-7.
• ODU 300sp options are available for ETSI bands from 7 to 38 GHz.
• ODU 300hp options are available for all bands except 5 GHz.
• ODU 300ep options are available for 5, 13 or 15 GHz bands.
• Capacity is licensed.
• With ODU 300sp the base Connect license is 40 Mbps. An upgrade is available to
80 Mbps.
• With ODU 300hp or ODU 300ep the base Connect license supports up to 65
Mbps. Upgrades are available to 100, 150, or 200 Mbps.
• Upgrades are placed at time of order, or ordered subsequently as downloadable
software licenses.
• Licenses are up-to licences. For example a 100 Mbps license may be configured to
support throughputs from 20 to 100 Mbps.
NOTE: When ordered as an IDU ES, as distinct from a Connect ES link package,
the base license begins at 20 Mbps for ETSI and 50 Mbps for ANSI.
• The maximum capacity for each o ption may be used for Ethernet traffic, or assign ed
between Ethernet and wayside E1/DS1 circuits. For configurations where available
link capacity is fully assigned to Ethernet, capacity for Ethernet is reduced by 2 Mbps
(2.048 Mbps) for each E1 assigned, or by 1.5 Mbps (1.544 Mbps) for each DS1
assigned, up to a maximum 8xE1/DS1 waysides.
• For maximum 200 Mbps licensed options, Ethernet is constrained to the channel
maximums of the Ethernet module to provide 196.6 Mbps (96x2.048 Mbps) for an
ETSI configuration, or 196 Mbps (127x1.544 Mbps) for ANSI.
•The ETSI 200 Mbps option supports an over-air capacity of 217 Mbps. The
balance of this capacity may be assigned to waysides wit hout impacting maximum
Ethernet throughput; for example this option supports 196.6 Mbps Ethernet and
up to 8xE1 waysides.

Ethernet capacity (bandwidth) is assigned in 2.048 Mbps or 1.544 Mbps
steps to align with the capacity needed for E1 or DS1 waysides. Eclipse
incorporates a universal modem design that does not distinguish
between the type of data to be transported, Ethernet or TDM; data is
simply mapped into byte-wide frames to provide a particularly efficient
and flexible wireless transport mechanism, with the result that when
configured for Ethernet data, or Ethernet and TDM data, the full
configured, native capacity is available for user throughput.

Ethernet Module
The Ethernet module incorporates an intelligent layer 2 (L2) switch, to provide the
switching, prioritization and queuing functions between ports P1 to P4 and transport
channels, C1 and C2. It supports address learning for efficient management of Ethernet
traffic in multi-host situations, and advanced L3 and L2 settings for traffic
prioritization.
A gate array supports channel assignment and mux/demux to the digital baseband.
The MAC address register supports 2048 entries.
Vol. II-2-16 Harris Stratex Networks
Page 83
Eclipse User Manual
Inter-frame gap (IFG) and preamble stripping and re-insertion is used across the link
to maximize Ethernet throughputs. Its benefit is most noticeable with small frame sizes
where the IFG and preamble represents a more significant part of the total frame space.
Requires SW release 4.3 or later. Auto negotiation is used between the DAC ES modules
at each end of the IDU ES link to determine SW level compatibility. If one end uses a
pre 4.3 SW release, IFG and preamble stripping is not used across the link.
The four 10/100Base-T Fast Ethernet ports may be connected to the transport channels
in transparent, VLAN or mixed operational modes. Channel capacity is incremented in
2 Mbps (2.048 Mbps) or 1.5 Mbps (1.544 Mbps) steps.
Refer to:
• Modes of Operation on page 2-17
• Transport Channel Configuration on page 2-18

• Flow Control on page 2-19
• Disable Address Learning on page 2-19
• Maximum Frame Size on page 2-20
• Latency on page 2-20
• Ethernet Diagnostics on page 2-20
Modes of Operation
IDU ES is configured using Portal, the Eclipse craft tool. User-friendly screens prompt
for channel size (Ethernet bandwidth), modes of operation, QoS settings, and interface
options.
Three modes of operation are supported, which define the connection fabric between
ports and channels. These modes are Transparent, VLAN or Mixed:
Transparent Mode
This is the default, broadcast mode; all ports and channels are interconnected. It
supports four customer connections (ports 1 to 4) with bridging to and be tween the two
transport channels (C1, C2).
Figure 2-7. Transparent Mode Port and Channel Assignment
VLAN Mode
VLAN or transport mode supports four separate LAN connections. Port 1 is dedicated
to channel 1, and ports 2 to 4 are multiplexed to channel 2 to provide three virtual LANs
(VLANs 2, 3 and 4). Internal VLAN port tagging of packets provides correct end-to-end
matching of port traffic over the channel 2 link. Tags are removed before port egress at
the far end.

Chapter 2. Eclipse Terminals
Figure 2-8.
VLAN Mode Port and Channel Assignment
Mixed Mode
Mixed or hybrid mode provides a two-LAN connection solution. The first provides a
dedicated port 1 to channel 1 connection. The second provides a transparent
(broadcast) connection, tying ports 2, 3 and 4 to channel 2. Packets received on any of
these ports will be allowed to broadcast to the other three ports, but not to port 1 or
channel 1.
Figure 2-9. Mixed Mode Port and Channel Assignment
Transport Channel Configuration
Selection is provided for channel capacity on a per-channel basis:
Channel capacity is selected in multiples of 2 Mbps or 1.5 Mbps.
• For an ETSI selection each channel supports a maximum 98 Mbps. Where both
channels are used the combined maximum extends to 196 Mbps.
• For an ANSI selection one channel (either) can be configured to support a maximum
100 Mbps. Both channels can be configured to support a combined total of 196 Mbps.
• Both channels can be se nt over the same radio path. Each can operate as separate fast
Ethernet VLANs, or aggregated (combined) using an external L2 switch.
Basic Port Settings
Customer selection/confirmation is provided for the following port parameters:
Enabled
A port must be enabled to allow traffic flow.
Name
A port name or other relevant port data can be entered.
Speed-Duplex
Provides selection per-port of auto or manual settings for half or full duplex operation
on speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. In auto a connection is set based on the traffic type
detected.
Interface Type
Provides selection per port of auto or manual settings for the interface type; Mdi or
MdiX (straight or cross-over respectively).
Vol. II-2-18 Harris Stratex Networks
Page 85
Eclipse User Manual
Port Up
Indicates that a valid Ethernet connection with valid Ethernet framing has been
detected.
Resolved
Indicates a port connection has been resolved for an auto speed-duplex setting.
Priority Mapping
A priority mapping screen supports selection of queue-controller operation for mode
and mapping. A mode selection applies to all ports.
To prioritize ingressing traffic over a DAC ES link a 4-level prioritization of high,
medium high, medium low, and low is used with a weighting of 8:4:2:1. For example, 8
high priority packets are sent for every 1 low prio rity packet. Mapping is used to conv ert
the 4 DAC ES levels to the 8 priority levels of 802.1p, and 64 levels of DiffServ. Mapping
is user configurable.
• Port Default enables the Port Priority option. It ignores any 802.1p VLAN CoS
priority tags or IP DiffServ priority values. It only has relevance where two or more
ports share a common channel.
• 802.1p provides prioritization based on the three-bit CoS field within a VLAN tag.
Each of the possible eight tag priority values are mapped into a four-level (2-bit) IDU
ES priority level.
• DiffServ provides prioritization based on the six bits of the IP packet DiffServ or Type
of Service byte. Each of the possible 64 levels are mapped into a four-level (2-bit)
priority level.
• 802.1p-then-DiffServ provides prioritization based first on the 802.1p VLAN tag,
and then on the DiffServ or Type of Service byte.
• DiffServ-then-802.1p provides prioritization based first on the IP packet DiffServ or
Type of Service byte, then on the 802.1p VLAN tag.
Flow Control
Flow Control is an option for full-duplex links only. It is implemented through use of
IEEE 802.3x PAUSE frames, which tell the remote node to stop or restart transmission
to ensure that the amount of data in the receive buffer does not exceed a ‘high water
mark’. The receiver will signal to the transmitter to stop transmitting until sufficient
data has been read from the buffer, triggered by a ‘low water mark’, at which point the
receiver signals to the transmitter to resume transmission. To be effective, flow control
must be established from the originating source through to the end point, and vice
versa, which means the equipment connected to the IDU ES ports and beyond should
also be enabled for flow control.
Disable Address Learning
MAC Address Learning is default implemented to support efficient management of
Ethernet traffic in multi-host situations. The option to disable Address Learning is
primarily for use in an Ethernet ring network where protection is provided by an
external RSTP switch. To avoid conflict between t he self-l earning func tion withi n IDU
ES and the external RSTP switch during path failure situations, the IDU ES capability
must be switched off.
260-668066-001 Rev 024 February 2009 Vol. II-2-19
Page 86
Chapter 2. Eclipse Terminals
Maximum Frame Size
Maximum Frame Size sets the largest size frame for the interface, which determines the
largest datagram than can be transmitted without it being broken down into smaller
units (fragmented). The IDU ES supports two maximum frame sizes, 1518/1522 bytes
(1518 for non-tagged frames, 1522 for tagged frames) or 1536 bytes.
Latency
Network latency refers to the time taken for a data packet to get from source to
destination. For an IP network it is particularly relevant to voice (VoIP) or video
conferencing; the lower the latency, the better the quality.
For phone conversations a one-way latency of 200 ms is considered acceptable. Other
applications are more tolerant; Intranet access should be less than 5 seconds, whereas
for non real-time applications such as email and file transfers, latency issues do not
normally apply.
Other contributors to overall latency are the d evices connected to the Eclipse net work,
which for a VoIP circuit will include the external gateway processes of voice encoding
and decoding, IP framing, packetization and jitter buffers. Contributing to external
network latency are devices such as routers and firewalls.

• 106 Mbps Ethernet using both transport channels and no E1 tribs. The spl it between
channel (LAN) assignments may be 53/53 Mbps through to 98/8 Mbps.
• 104 Mbps Ethernet and 1xE1, through to 90 Mbps Ethernet and 8xE1.
LANs supported on transport channels C1 and C2 cannot be paralleled without use of
an external switch with L2 link aggregation, as doing so will create an IP loop.
Simple Link With External Switching
While IDU ES provides full layer 2 switch functionality, it can only support a maximum
of four directly connected hosts, which for most office applications is insufficient,
bearing in mind each device on the LAN must be directly connected to its own port on
the switch (star connected).
The solution is provided by a 3rd party industry-standard multi-port layer 2 (L2)
switch, as shown in Figure 2-12

When used in this way, the LAN mode and QoS settings would normally be configured
within the external switch, and a single port connection used to the IDU ES.
With just one channel in use (C1 or C2), the maximum Ethernet capacity supported is
98 Mbps (ETSI) or 100 Mbps (ANSI). For this throughput an optimum link solution is
provided by 100 Mbps licensed option.
Higher throughputs are provided by IDU ES 150 and 200 Mbps options, but to make
use of such capacity both IDU ES channels must be used, as shown in Figure 2-13. The
IDU ES is configured for Mixed Mode to support two independent LANs/VLANs on
transport channels C1 and C2, and each is separately ported to the external switch.

Where IDU ES links are to be networked, they must be physically interconnected at
intermediate sites. Figure 2-14 shows a typical small network with back-to-back IDU
ES installations at site B.
• External layer 2 multi-port switches are used where more than four host devices are
locally connected on the LAN: sites A, B and C.
• Site D shows no external switch. For a small office where no more than four host
devices are connected, the IDU ES provides a complete sol ution.
• Interconnecting trib circuits are cabled as for standard back-to-back E1/DS1 links.
• NMS visibility between all IDU ES terminals requires linking of the Ethernet NMS
ports at each site. As the IDU ES has a single Ethernet NMS port, where three or
more are grouped at a site, as at Site B, a simple external hub or switch must be used
to provide the required porting capacity.

Ring Applications
IDU ES is a 1+0 platform; it does not offer hot-standby or diversity options. However,
IDU ES links can be installed in a ring network to support alternate-path protection of
Ethernet traffic using external RSTP switches.
• Using one channel, as illustrated in Figure 2-15, ring capacities to 98/100 Mbps are
supported.
• Using both channels, C1 and C2, two concentric rings are supported, each up to 98/
100 Mbps.
• Where concentric rings are u sed, link aggregation may be used in the e xternal switch
to provide a single LAN interface.
• For NMS visibility around ring, IDU ES terminals are interconnected at each site via
their Ethernet NMS ports. Dynamic routing (OSPF or RIP) is required.

• E1/DS1 circuits can also be configured on each link as pt-to-pt connections (not ring
protected).

IDU GE 20x Capacity and Bandwidth Options
ETSI IDU GE 20x Ethernet capacity and bandwidth options are indicated in Figure
2-16 and detailed in Table 2-12. PDH capacity and bandwidth options are indicated in
Figure 2-17 and detailed in Table 2-12.
ANSI IDU GE 20x Ethernet capacity and bandwidth options are indicated in Figure
2-18 and detailed in Table 2-13. PDH capacity and bandwidth options are indicated in
Figure 2-19 and detailed in Table 2-13.
• For Ethernet capacities to 80 Mbps, the ODU 300sp can be used. Applies to ETSI
bands, 7 to 38 GHz only. Modulation is QPSK or 16 QAM.
• ODU 300hp operates on all bands, 6 to 38 GHz. Modulation options range from
QPSK to 256 QAM.
• ODU 300ep is required for 5 GHz and is an option for 13 and 15 GHz bands.
Modulation options range from QPSK to 256 QAM.
• Capacity is licensed. The base license (no license required) supports up to 20xE1 or
20xDS1 PDH operation only. The license options enable Ethernet in steps of 50, 100,
150, 200, or 360 Mbps, each with up to 20xE1 or 20xDS1 waysides.
• License requirements are placed at time of order, or updated subsequently as
downloadable software licenses.
• IDU GE 20x licenses are up-to licences. For example a 100 Mbps license may be
configured to support throughputs from 10 to 106 Mbps (ETSI), or 25 to 108 Mbps
(ANSI).

• The maximum capacity for each Licensed optio n may be used for Ethe rnet traffic, o r
assigned between Ethernet and wayside E1 or DS1 circuits. For c onfigurations where
available link capacity is fully assigned to Ethernet, capacity for Ethernet is reduced
by 2 Mbps (2.048 Mbps) for each E1 assigned, or by 1.5 Mbps (1.544 Mbps) for each
DS1, up to a maximum of 20x E1 or DS1 waysides.
Ethernet capacity (bandwidth) is assigned in 2 Mbps or 1.5 Mbps steps
to align with the capacity needed for E1 or DS1 waysides. Eclipse
incorporates a universal modem design that does not distinguish
between the type of data to be transported, Ethernet or TDM; data is
simply mapped into byte-wide frames to provide a particularly efficient
and flexible wireless transport mechanis m, with the result that when
configured for Ethernet data, or Ethernet and TDM data, the full
configured capacity is available for user throughput. The data is
transported natively over the wireless link, whether Ethernet or PDH.
Ethernet physical (layer 1) link capacities/bandwidths used in this section
are nominal. For example, actual 100 Mbps link capacities are 106 Mbps
for an ETSI configuration, and 108 Mbps for ANSI.
Similarly, Ethernet throughput figures are nominal and are specified at
layer 2 in accordance with RFC 2544 recommendations.
