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.

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.

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.
