1 CFM-34-REBM Fast Ethernet Bridge Indoor Unit

Overview

Proprietary notice

The specifications or information contained in this document are subject to change without notice due to continuing introduction of design improvements. If there is any conflict between this document and compliance statements, the latter will supersede this document.

The following document is dedicated to the CFM series Modular Remote Fast Ethernet Bridge Indoor Units, describing the built-in management system, configuration functionality, hardware features, etc.

This document describes particularly the CFM-34-REBM modular bridge. The CFM-34-REBM Fast Ethernet Bridge is part of SAF Tehnika’s CFM series digital

microwave radio product family and serves as Indoor Unit (IDU) providing:

- Means of interconnecting Outdoor Unit (ODU or Radio) and user equipment;

The CFM-8-REBM, the CFM-16-REBM and the CFM-34-REBM is intended for use with the CFM-LM Radio.

- Local management functionality. Current document covers versions 3.12 and above for the management controller

software of all modular Ethernet bridge models.

The Ethernet bridge (henceforth in some places referred as primary bridge) is built on the High performance full remote Ethernet bridge chipset. The Bridge is fully compatible with IEEE802.3/Ethernet V.2 specifications. It has a 100Base-Tx LAN interface (UTP) implemented on RJ-45 connector.

Wire speed screening and bridging is performed, depending on LAN port setting at 100 Mbps (HDX) or 200 Mbps (in full duplex topology). The bridge automatically detects FDx/HDx mode and 10/100 Mbps LAN speed.

WAN link data rate is 34 Mbps, which is equal to full radio channel capacity available. The bridge automatically learns MAC addresses on the LAN to which it is connected

and forwards only those frames destined for another LAN. The LAN table stores up to 1000 addresses and is automatically updated.

Filtering and forwarding is performed at the maximum theoretical rate of 150,000 frames per second (wire speed). The buffer can hold 170 frames with a throughput latency of one frame. Forwarding can be disabled for multicast and broadcast messages from LAN to WAN. Delay time is one Ethernet frame.

The Ethernet Bridge is of the so-called “store and forward” type, - the packet is placed in buffer, examined, and forwarded to another port. The bridge supports packets up to 1534 bytes long (including VLAN tagged packets) compared to Ethernet standard value of 1518.

Feature summary:

− Full compatibility with IEEE 802.3 / Ethernet V.2

− VLAN tagging support

− 100Base-Tx (UTP) LAN interface

− Auto negotiation

− 150,000 frames per second filtering and forwarding rate

− 170-frame buffer

− 1000 MAC address LAN table

− Automatic learning and aging

The total WAN data rate of the CFM-34-REBM Fast Ethernet bridge is 34 Mbps. The bridge provides two interface slots and thereby can be equipped with two interface modules providing additional traffic interfaces with a maximum capacity of 2 Mbps each. The slots can be switched on and off. The WAN data rate of the primary Ethernet traffic (Fast Ethernet) will decrease by 2 Mbps per each active slot.

4.4 Ethernet Management Port

Ethernet port of the CFM-34-REBM IDU terminal is intended as main source of management connectivity and will provide the broadest range of management functionality:

- Web management via integrated Web server of management board;

- SNMP management via integrated SNMP agent of management board;

- Telnet server and CLI interface.

Ethernet interface could be used:

- To connect IDU to PC/Laptop to manage IDU;

- To LAN for constant monitoring of IDU;

- To router or any other TCP/IP packet network termination unit to have IDU as

part of network for management information.

4.4.1 Web Interface

The implementation of Web interface for the CFM-34-REBM IDU provides monitoring and configuration capabilities similar to ones available from the IDU LCD/Keypad, front panel LEDs, and from the Telnet/ASCII console, for details please refer to Chapters 4.2.1, 4.2.2, and 4.4.3.

The Web interface functionality is available via the Ethernet management port only.

Web interface is accessible by any standards based Web browser.

The CFM-34-REBM IDU Main Web management window: it shows the Radio characteristics, main system settings, and alarm status. Entries, which are highlighted in red, indicate that specific parameters do not comply with the norms of normal operation, all other parameters are satisfactory

4.4.2 SNMP Interface

In order to receive SNMP traps from the IDU management controller, the IP address of the management PC with the installed Trap Manager software (based on SNMP platform) should be specified from a Telnet or ASCII console.

The IP address of the SNMP Trap Manager can be specified using the “SNMP trap <IPaddress>” command. The default value is 255.255.255.255 (no SNMP Trap Manager specified).

The Trap Manager address should be configured for each IDU, from which it is necessary to receive information on parameters, counters and alarms. The information is sent as SNMP Trap packets through the mediation of UDP protocol. If the Trap Manager terminal cannot be accessed, - for example, if there is no device connected to the Ethernet management port or IP settings of the management port are improper, a longer delay (about 10 sec.) may appear on the IDU startup.

SNMP management functionality is available from any SNMP browser, by means of compiling SAF MIB to browser’s MIB base.

SAF MIB is available from:

- SAF Tehnika Web site, www.saftehnika.com;

- From SAF Tehnika tech support, email: techsupport@saftehnika.com;

- Contacting SAF Tehnika or distributors.

General

The management module has RAM and EPROM chips onboard. When IDU is booted up or management module CPU is restarted, bootstrap is loaded from the EPROM into RAM. The bootstrap contains all the parameters that was previously stored in EPROM using write and/or cfg write commands. These parameters are stored in EPROM in the form of script and when booting up, the script parameters are loaded into RAM. These parameters can be freely changed thus changing the contents of RAM. If the IDU is shut down without saving the current configuration in EPROM, the original configuration is restored from EPROM on the next boot-up.

Here is an example of script:

SAF>cfg show 01: ip remaddr 192.168.0.11 02: ip seraddr 192.168.0.10 03: Chan 144 04: snmp community read safpub 05: snmp trap 255.255.255.255 06: route add 62.85.14.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.12.22

The script can be edited, e.g., strings can be added by simply entering the required command (the script will be supplemented with the new string or the instant string entry will be updated) and deleted using “cfg delete <string#>” command line. The changes of parameters can be saved in EPROM using cfg write command line.

To end Telnet/ASCII session press Ctrl+D.

The management software has a system up-time, system down-time and frame error timers built in. The down-time counter counts the seconds when the Signal Lost alarm is on whereas the up-time counter returns the system up-time (in seconds); the frame error counter counts false frames received from the WAN. All counters are resetted using clear counters command from Telnet/ASCII terminal or from IDU, - selecting “Reset Counters” in the setup mode.

The management module has a watchdog timer (WDT) built in which manages the automatic restart of the management system if it freezes. Besides the restartCPU command the management system can by resetted using restartWDT command which breaks off check words to WDT thus causing the management system to restart. The watchdog timer can be turned off using disableWDT command (from Telnet/ASCII terminal) and can be turned on only by restarting the MUX and management module using hidden reset button or unplugging power.

Radio parameters

The radio parameter values (transmit frequency and power) are stored internally in Flash memory of the Radio unit, the Radio operates exactly with those values stored in its Flash memory. When the radio parameter is modified during the equipment is in operation, the corresponding radio parameter value in the Radio Flash memory is overwritten with the new one and applied in operation. Also, each time the equipment is booted, the radio parameter values written in the IDU bootstrap are uploaded to the Radio and the previously stored radio parameter values in Flash memory are overwritten with those in the IDU bootstrap. Hence the radio parameter configuration in the IDU bootstrap has a higher priority as they will override the values stored in the Radio on the equipment restart.

Consequently, the radio parameter configuration could be stored in the IDU bootstrap for the purpose to be able to quickly change the Radio unit later. Normally it is not necessary for the IDU bootstrap to contain strings that configure radio parameters.

IDU name

The IDU name permanently appears in the prompt string of the Telnet/ASCII terminal software, it can also be seen on the IDU LCD by pressing clear button while in status display mode as well as on the Web browser window.

The name of the IDU can only be assigned using Telnet or ASCII terminal, this cannot be done using IDU management interface.

The command line “Name <deviceName>” assigns a name to the IDU. The name can be a maximum of 16 symbols long. If using space(s), the argument should be in double quotes.

Example: Name “SAFterm2 14 7”

Security commands

For ASCII, Telnet and Web terminals only one user is supported. The default username and password for Telnet terminal is:

− Username: telnet

− Password: saf

The default username and password for Web terminal is:

− Username: SAF

− Password: test

Take note of upper case and lower case type, it should be taken into account for both username and password!

The passwords may contain spaces, if using space(s) the password should be entered in quote marks.

For ASCII, Telnet and Web terminals the password can be changed simply reentering the appropriate security command while logged on. To log off press Ctrl+D, the logging off is possible only if the password is specified. To disable password enter the password command appropriate for the specific terminal type followed by empty string, e.g., enable password “”.

Important!

The specification of password (or username and password) should always be followed by saving the configuration script (using “write” or “cfg write” commands) otherwise the password request will be ignored after the restart of CPU. The panel access code for the access from IDU panel can be specified from the Telnet/ASCII console only. When the access code is specified the adjustment and configuration of any IDU/ODU parameters and loopbacks from IDU LCD is not available unless the correct access code is entered at the IDU (refer to “Setup” Mode of the IDU LCD Management Interface). The specification of access code should also be followed by saving the configuration script otherwise the access code value will be set to zero (none) on the CPU restart. The panel access code can be changed simply entering the new access code (number from 0 – 200) using panel access command. In order to disable the panel access code, enter 0 value. There is no default password set for ASCII terminal (ASCII console connected to RS232 management port) nor the access code from IDU panel is specified, - it is set to 0 (none).

Currently there are no possibilities to bypass password of any type of terminal, for instance if the user has forgotten it. The boot recovery functionality for such cases will be available in the upcoming software versions.

4.5 Alarm Interface Port

The Alarm port is available for all types of IDUs (E1, MUX, REB and REBM) as an optional feature.

The Alarm port comprises the set of outputs of relay switches intended for the CFM site supervision and the user inputs to connect an external device that requires to be supervised. Each output of the relay switch can be used either as NO type (normally open) or NC type (normally closed).

The following alarms are available through the alarm port as parallel relay outputs:

• A: Power alarm. If there are no problems with DC power supply to any

component of the site, the relay is closed (active relay state or initial state); if power supply failure – relay is opened (passive relay state).

• B: SL – Synch Lost alarm, ON - relay is closed (active state), OFF – relay is

opened (passive state).

• C: RA – Radio Alarm, ON - relay is closed, OFF – relay is opened (normal

operation).

• D: TxPLL – Tx Phase-locked Loop failure, ON - relay is closed, OFF – relay is

opened (normal operation).

There are four parallel inputs of the alarm port available: input A, input B, input C, input D. These inputs are used for connection of an external device which supplies DC voltage on input, - “0” or “1”; the alarm status triggers if input voltage is changed between “0” and “1”; refer to Chapter 6 for electrical specifications.

The alarm port outputs can be supervised via SNMP manager and/or Web console.

For information on Alarm port pinouts and electrical specifications, please refer to Chapter 6.

4.6 Performing Loop-back Tests

The following loop tests are available for the CFM-34-REBM site:

− Radio loopback,

− Base-band loopback,

− Traffic interface loopbacks.

The traffic interface loopback are not available for the primary Ethernet interface, nor installed Ethernet module(s).

Any loopback test can be set locally from IDU LCD, Telnet or ASCII console; the Web terminal allows to set loopbacks in the interface modules only.

4.6.1 Ethernet interface loop tests

The following schemes can be used to test either the primary 100Base-Tx or 10BaseT module Ethernet port:

− Setting local RF (if available), local baseband (digital or analog) or remote

baseband loop, and then testing the bridge using any diagnostic device that generates packets and can process the returned data such as packet analyzers or any other Ethernet performance analyzing devices (see figure below).

Note: Before setting the digital baseband loopback, it is important to make sure the far-end Ethernet bridge is disconnected from the LAN since the base-band loopback is dual.

− Pinging the far-end host (connected to the traffic port of the far-end IDU, see

figurte below) from the local host; this will verify both local (near-end) and remote (far-end) Ethernet ports.

4.6.2 Base-band and Radio loop tests

Base-band and Radio (RF) loopbacks can be set on a fixed time interval only; if using LCD/Keypad, the base band and RF loop test is set for 1 minute.

Radio loopback

The signal is transmitted (through the radio) and immediately received (with the same frequency) and looped back to the receiving device. This is the special operation mode, where the Rx frequency during the loopback test time is set equal to the Tx frequency. The RF loopback is not dual.

From Telnet or ASCII console:

To set the radio loopback from Telnet or ASCII console, use the following command: “RFloop {on|off} [duration]”, duration = 1 min by default.

Using LCD/Keypad:

From status display mode do the following: Press “ENTER” to enter setup mode → select “Loopbacks” → select “RFloopback ON” → select “Yes”.

Please refer to Chapter 4.4.1 to find out how the RF loop test is set from the Web terminal.

Note: before setting the radio loop, the transmitter power should be switched to maximum level.

The operational capacity of the radio channel can be roughly rated by the indications of the frame error counter (FrmErr) which counts the faulty frames from WAN within the time interval equal the sum of up-time and down-time.

Baseband loopbacks

There are two types of baseband loopbacks (both can not be activated simultaneously):

− Digital baseband loopback: the signal from the ODU and from the multiplexer (or

Bridge board) in the baseband modem is looped back to the receiving device; the digital baseband loopback is dual (see figure below);

− Analog baseband loopback: the modulated signal on the baseband modem output

is looped back to the receiving device and also passed further to the ODU.

From Telnet or ASCII console:

To set the base band loopback from Telnet or ASCII console, use the following command: “BBloop {on|analog|off} [duration]”.

Duration is set in minutes as values from 1 to 10. If duration is not specified the loopback will be set on 1 minute by default:

− Analog loop: if setting analog loopback, use “bbloop analog [duration]”

command, analog loopback is not dual.

− Digital loop: to set the digital loopback, use “bbloop on [duration]”

command, digital loopback is dual.

To switch off any of the baseband loopbacks use “bbloop off” command.

Using LCD/Keypad:

From status display mode do the following: Press “ENTER” to enter setup mode → select “Loopbacks” → select “BBloopback ON” or “BBloop analog“ → select “Yes”.

Proceed in the same way to switch off any of the baseband loopbacks.

Note: from the IDU LCD the baseband loopback is set on 1 minute.

Please refer to Chapter Web Interface to find out how the base band loop test is set from the Web terminal.

4.7 DIP Switch Settings

The configuration of the primary Ethernet bridge is performed using DIP Switch within the IDU.

Take the following steps to perform configuration of the bridge.

1. Remove the cover of the IDU. Configure the DIP switch, located on the top side of the module as detailed in the following table (bold indicates factory default settings). See figure in the next page for location of switch.

Section Name Description

1 NC 2 NC 3 10/100 ON LAN speed is set to 100 Mbps

OFF* Speed is set to 10 Mbps

4 AN1 ON LAN auto negotiation disabled

OFF LAN auto negotiation enabled

5 HF1 ON LAN full duplex mode

OFF LAN half duplex mode

6 BPR ON Enable backpressure**

OFF Disable backpressure

7 MUL

8 BRD

* bold indicates factory default settings ** The bridge features a carrier sense type back-pressure: if backpressure is

required, the module will send preambles to defer other stations transmission (carrier sense deference); The carrier sensitive back-off algorithm also runs in case of collisions, reducing the chance of further colliding and maintaining carrier sense to prevent reception of packets.

2. Put on the cover and restart the IDU.

4.8 Configuring Management Service Channel

Before using the Management Service Channel, the mandatory precondition is to properly configure the following parameters:

– IP addresses of the local and remote service channel virtual serial

port (also referred as service channel IP addresses): the IDU

Management Module has a virtual serial port onboard that is used to receive/transmit the management information from/to the other virtual serial port on the far-side via service channel, both of these ports have their IP address.

– IP address and net-mask of the Management Module

– IP address of the gateway or host that is locally connected to the IDU.

The console is connected to the IDU via Ethernet console port located on the Management Module. The console should be configured so as to have routing information to the virtual serial port (service channel port) of the local IDU, - it should either run the RIP thereby automatically obtaining the routing information, or a static route should be added.

The routing requires determining IP addresses of service channels (virtual serial port IP addresses). Since the Management Module operates as a router between two subnets running the RIP 2, normally it is not necessary to configure the routing by adding static routes.

Virtual serial port IP addresses can be picked from the “private internet” addresses, e.g., 10.X.X.X or 192.168.X.X. Both of these addresses should be different from those used for addressing the IDU, the principle is shown in the picture below, here each cloud depicts a subnet.

4.10 Replacing the Indoor Unit

Before replacing the IDU, verify the configuration of Radio if possible, - inspect the channel an transmit power settings. Then configure the new IDU in one of the following ways:

− delete the bootstrap via Telnet or ASCII console using cfg clear command, or

− configure Radio channel and transmit frequency as needed (from LCD or via

management console);

In order to replace the faulty IDU while in operation, take the following steps:

− Disconnect the faulty IDU from the Radio:

 disconnect the N-type female connector;  unplugging of power is optional;

− Connect the new IDU:

 if the new IDU is previously configured (the transmit power and

channel settings are made and the configuration is saved), the Radio will apply these settings after the management controller will be restarted,

 if configuration script (bootstrap) is empty or does not contain entries

on channel and transmit power, the Radio will keep the configuration that was last received from IDU;

− Restart the management controller, for instance, using RestartCPU option on

the LCD.

4.11 Updating Management Software

Updates to management software for management controller board will be available as uploadable files from SAF Tehnika company, sales partners or Web site.

Upload functionality is provided via management controller software monitor function and is available on RS-232 serial port.

Upload could be performed from PC/Laptop connected to serial port of IDU from any PC terminal program with text file loading functionality.

The instructions on performing the software upload are provided with the upgrade files. There is also a special management software upgrade guide available from SAF Tehnika, see Refer.

5 Configuring Radio Parameters

5.1 Default ODU Settings

Saf Tehnika is shipping Radio units with disabled Transmitter (TxPower OFF) and channel is set to one in the middle of respective A or B side of the Low or High subband (Radio types: LA, HA, LB, HB), or in the middle of the whole Low or High subband (Radio types: L and H).

5.2 Configuring Tx Frequency

The Tx frequency of the CFM LM and the CFM L4 type ODUs can be adjusted in the following ways:

1. It can be set through “Set Channel” item of IDU LCD menu system.

If this item is chosen, display indicates:

Channel = xxx Tx = xxxxx.x MHz

Where “Channel” corresponds to Tx channel number and “Tx frequency” indicates appropriate frequency in MHz.

Operator sets desired channel number scrolling through values with “Up” or “Down” buttons and confirming the choice with “Enter” button.

2. The Tx frequency can be set using “Chan” command from ASCII or Telnet management terminal, example: Chan 22

22 – channel number (see Chapter 8, page 52).

Since the telemetry data is transmitted between the ODU and the IDU, the concordance of Tx frequency to Low or High band side is detected automatically, and when the Tx channel is configured from the IDU LCD, the LCD displays frequencies within the subband (Low or High) that is covered by the ODU. However, if the ODU covers only a half of the subband (types: LA, HA, LB or HB, - depending on the duplexer filter within the ODU), the user should only choose from those Tx frequencies (channels) that are covered by the half of the subband specific to the ODU.

If a fault occurs in the ODU that prevents the transmission of telemetry data, the IDU LCD shows “No data from ODU”.

The Rx frequency is set automatically by Tx frequency.

The Tx frequency for all types of radio units (LA, HA, LB, HB, L, H) should be configured according to the table(s) given in Chapter 8.

Modular Fast Ethernet Bridge Management System Technical Description and Configuration Guide

Page 47

5.3 Configuring Tx Power

The Tx Power level of the CFM Radio can be adjusted in the following ways:

1. It can be set through “Set TxPower” item of IDU LCD menu system.

2. The Tx Power can be adjusted using “Txpower” command from Telnet or ASCII management console, example: Txpower +10

The Tx Power can be adjusted from -10 dBm to +20 dBm in steps of 1 dBm as well as turned off (Txpower off).

To avoid possible interference with other radio equipment, the default setting is “OFF”.
