Evolution ManagerGeneral DescriptionThe Evolution Manager is a
web interface of the Network Element. It is used for configuration,
testing and monitoring of the Network Element. The Evolution
Manager can be accessed from a web browser, or by means of a
network element management system, such as NetMaster.
-
The Evolution Manager has two main navigation elements, the top
menu and the equipment view. The content frame will display
information as a result of the selections in both menus. This
allows for filtering the information in the content frame, by
selecting a specific unit in the equipment view. The Evolution
Manager has two navigation modes:
Graphical User Interface (GUI)A schematic view of the GUI is
shown in the figure below:
-
Network Element: When no units are selected in the equipment
view, selections in the top menu will cause information relevant to
the Network Element as a whole to be displayed in the content
frame. The navigation status will read Network Element, and the
Evolution Manager is said to be in Network Element mode. Individual
Unit: In contrast, when a specific unit has been selected in the
equipment view, selections in the top menu will cause information
only relevant to the selected unit to be displayed in the content
frame. This mode is called Individual Unit mode, and the navigation
status will reflect this by displaying the name of the selected
unit. In order to break out of Individual Unit mode, the Home menu
option must be selected from the top menu. This brings the
Evolution Manager back to Network Element mode, and this will be
reflected in the navigation status.

Radio Protection SwitchingRadio Protection Switching (RPS)
operations for N+1and Hot Stand-by systems are managed by the
Supervisory Unit This RPS module interacts with other
systemhardware resources to achieve automatic protection switch
operations based on switch criteria inputs from the individual
radio channels. This module also supports manuallycontrolled switch
operations and status reporting. Hot Standby configurated systems
(See screenshot below this for Freq. Div systems)
-
Switch Section (Hot Stby)Hot Standby system configurations
implement local equipment protection within the network element
(radio station). A protection switch section is then comprised of
theduplicated transmit- and receive-equipment required to serve one
antenna. This switch section is monitored and controlled by a
single RPS module. The two equipmentpaths are identified as Ch. 1
and Ch. 2. The protection switch state is either "Ch. 1 active" or
"Ch. 2 active". Each traffic direction (transmit and receive) has
its own set ofswitch criteria. The system may be set up as
"Unidirectional" (radio transmit switch and baseband receive switch
operates completely independent of one another) or "Bi-directional"
(radio transmit switch will follow the baseband receive switch if
there is no conflicting criteria, and vice versa).
Bi-directionalBi-directional means that assertion of a criterion in
one or the other of the two traffic directions will cause the
affected channel to be switched to standby mode for both of
itstraffic directions. Restoring it to its working mode will not be
permitted until the active criteria for both directions are
cleared. Uni-directionalUni-directional means that the two traffic
directions for a switching section are controlled individually and
independent of each other (treated as two independent
switchsections). Typical 1+1 HSB switch scenario
(bidirectional)
If Tx criteria are activated the RPS controls the mute/unmute
functions on the two transceivers accordingly. The RPS is to
protect the Rx direction for that samechannel, as long as the
channel is free of errors.If the RPS detects an Rx criterion, it
shall protect the associated channel, and revert back to
bidirectional mode when th Rx criterion disappears. Switch on Tx
side willnot be performed.If there are active Rx criteria on both
Rx channels the most severe criterion is to be acknowledged. This
means that the automatic HSB switch actually operates
inunidirectional mode as long as conflicting criteria are active.
When there are no longer conflicts between Tx and Rx criteria the
switch state should be changed tobidirectional
Typical 1+1 HSB switch scenario (unidirectional)
The RPS controls the Rx switch based on Rx criteria information
as for a 1+1 FD automatic switch.If Tx criteria is activated the
RPS controls the mute/unmute functions on the two transceivers
accordingly.
Manual RequestsThe responsibility of the manual switch function
is to set the requested worker channel in standby state in both
traffic directions by sending mute/unmute commands to
thetranceivers and performing an Rx switch Hot Standby with Dual
BasebandRegarding protection on Rx side there is one exception to
the description above:If the "HSB Dual Baseband" option for HSB
systems is specified, the RPS will refrain from doing any Rx
switching. In this case the external equipment (mux) will
duplicatethe line traffic input onto two input ports, and the RR
equipment will duplicate the RF signal onto two Rx branches
(receiver-demodulator-baseband) and make both datastreams available
on the two output ports. The RPS will only switch on the Tx
side.

Switch Section (Freq. Div.)1+1 FD protection switchingAn
automatic switch procedure is initiated on the receive side based
on a set of switch criteria acquired from the hardware resources.
Aligned switching will be performed if possible.The active channel
which is to be protected, is polled for data alignment status. When
the data stream from the protectordemodulator is aligned with the
data stream from the active channel demodulator, an errorless
switchover is performed. In case the alignment process fails, a
forced switchover may be performed dependent upon active criteria
and configuration settings for the RPS system (if a
continuitycriterion is active initially the RPS will not check for
alignment but immediately select the forced switchover option) When
the criteria for protecting the channel are no longer active the
channel will be restored if the RPS is set to revertive mode.

Mother Board XPAND, Cross-ConnectThe Motherboard has a built-in
cross connect with 4 ports. The Cross-connect allows the operator
to interconnect traffic on these ports. The connections are
identified by using the background colour of the ports together
with the address of the virtual container. The background colour of
a virtual containeridentifies the source port, while the address
identifies the source address. SNCP functionality is identified
with a split cell. When configuring the cross-connection of virtual
containers, three modes are available, cross-connection of two
channels, cross-connection with SNCP (Path protection) andcross
connection of Ethernet. SNCP can be activated for each individual
virtual container separately.
1. Cross-connection without SNCP: Select the source virtual
container by clicking inside the square for that container. A range
of virtual containers can be selected by clickand drag. Push the
Connect button and then select the sink virtual container by
clicking inside the square for that container. Verify the correct
cross-connection before pushingthe Set button to apply the setting
to the Unit. Disconnecting of a connection is done by selecting
either of the two virtual containers in a connection and push the
Disconnectbutton and the Set button.
2. Cross-connection with SNCP: Select the Sink virtual
container(s) for the SNCP connection. Click the SNCP Connect
button. Select the first source virtual container byclicking inside
square for that container. Then select the second source virtual
container by clicking inside the square for that container. Press
the Connect button. Verify thecorrect SNCP cross-connection before
pushing the Set button, to apply the setting to the Unit.
Disconnecting of a connection is done selecting any of the three
virtualcontainers in a connection and push Disconnect button and
Set button. 3. Cross-connection Ethernet: Select the source virtual
container by clicking inside the square for that container. A range
of virtual containers can be selected by clicking thefirst and then
the last virtual container in the range. Click the Connect Ethernet
button and then click on any virtual container in the target RIU.
The SU Ethernet virtualcontainers will occupy the virtual
containers with the highest address numbers in the RIU. It is
therefore important that these virtual containers are free before
attempting toconnect Ethernet. Verify the correct cross-connection
before pushing the Set button to apply the setting to the Unit.
Disconnecting of the Ethernet connection is done bypushing
"Disconnect Ethernet" button and Set button.
Note: The configuration is not applied to the unit before the
Set button is pushed. Several cross-connections and SNCP
connections can be configured before the Set button ispushed.

EOW, HDLC 1 (High-Level Data Link Control)
EOW HDLC communication utilities: 64kb/s user channelEnables a
64kb/s communication channel between the IFUs Supervisor Unit's
software and a remote site SU, enabling remote management and
configuration/control.To utilize this operation the HDLC device has
to be assigned an IP address and included in the Supervisor
software's IP routing table on both ends of this
communicationchannel, plus directed into a SOH or NOH channel
towards a particular antenna direction. The IP-address assignment
is done in the configuration-->network menu.This remote
management and configuration/control function is accessable
through, as usual, a web-browser and the remote WEB management and
configuration service. The check box "Enable" must be checked for
setup of 64kb/s connections. When SOH / TOH button is pushed, an
SOH / TOH matrix is displayed. Available SOH / TOH bytes (white
colour) can be selected. The byte will turn yellow indicating

check box "Enable" must be checked for setup of G.703
Co-directional connections.Enables the HDLC device to send data
between Port 3 and the SU, which provide two different
functions
Terminal-server functionThis function provide access to Port 3
from a telnet-connection on the Supervisory Unit. Ex. connect a PC
to the SU and start the telnet application on the PC and connect
tothe targets IP address and TCP port #. This will then provide
some simple means to access and control other devices and units.
The TCP port # is assigned according to the following
parameters:First digit - 3Second digit - Equal to the IFU
numberThird digit - Equal to slot number -7. E.g. Upper left most
slot (slot # 7) gives the digit; 7-7=0Fourth digit - 0
Local Management connectionThis is similar to the remote
management connection, but the "remote" unit to manage is in the
near vicinity - usually in the same room.E.g.Web-client PC IFU#1[SU

4x64kb/s Unit, HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control)
64kb/s HDLC communication utilities: 64kb/s user channelEnables
a 64kb/s communication channel between the IFUs Supervisor Unit's
software and a remote site SU, enabling remote management
andconfiguration/control.To utilize this operation the HDLC device
has to be assigned an IP address and included in the Supervisor
software's IP routing table on both ends of thiscommunication
channel, plus directed into a SOH or NOH channel towards a
particular antenna direction. The IP-address assignment is done in
theconfiguration-->network menu.This remote management and
configuration/control function is accessable through, as usual, a
web-browser and the remote WEB management andconfiguration service.
The check box "Enable" must be checked for setup of 64kb/s
connections. When SOH / TOH button is pushed, an SOH / TOH matrix
is displayed. Available SOH / TOH bytes (white colour) can be
selected. The byte will turnyellow indicating that the byte is
selected for 64kb/s traffic. If the NOH button is pushed, NOH
channel 1 or 2 can be selected. G.703 Co-directionalThe check box
"Enable" must be checked for setup of G.703 Co-directional
connections.Enables the HDLC device to send data between Port 3 and
the SU, which provide two different functions
Terminal-server functionThis function provide access to Port 3
from a telnet-connection on the Supervisory Unit. Ex. connect a PC
to the SU and start the telnet application on thePC and connect to
the targets IP address and TCP port #. This will then provide some
simple means to access and control other devices and units. The TCP
port # is assigned according to the following parameters:First
digit - 3Second digit - Equal to the IFU numberThird digit - Equal
to slot number -7. E.g. Upper left most slot (slot # 7) gives the
digit; 7-7=0Fourth digit - 0
Local Management connectionThis is similar to the remote
management connection, but the "remote" unit to manage is in the
near vicinity - usually in the same room.E.g.
