DTS Broadcast PDH Microwave Digital Radio User Manual 2.3 Software Controlled Features The L54 is based on full software control and system configuration. Use of the software-based features is through the front LCD panel keypad and display on each IDU, or through Internet Explorer running in PC. The RJ-45 connector on the IDU front panel provides a 10BASE-T interface to a standard IBM compatible PC running Microsoft Windos@.
DTS Broadcast PDH Microwave Digital Radio User Manual Internet Explorer based on PC is also available to control, configure and monitor a L54 terminal using the 10BASE-T interface WEB based on the IDU. The WEB Server based Internet Explorer main screen is shown in Figure 2-2.
DTS Broadcast PDH Microwave Digital Radio User Manual 2.4 Basic Structure A universal radio basic structure concept has been implemented for the L54 product line. A radio terminal consists of three components: IDU, ODU and Antenna. A single coaxial cable is required to interconnect the IDU with the ODU. This single cable feeds DC power to the ODU from the IDU and supports bi-directional traffic, alarm and control signals.
DTS Broadcast PDH Microwave Digital Radio User Manual 2.4.1 IDU The L54 IDU is a 1RU rack-mountable assembly designed for 19-inch rack/cabinet installations. All IDUs are compatible with standard 19-inch EIA and ETSI rack mount standards. Each IDU is designed to support one of four capacities: 4E1/8E1/16E1, and 10/100BASE-T+1/2/4E1data rates. Different services have different interface, another way, different service should configure different service plug-in.

DTS Broadcast PDH Microwave Digital Radio User Manual 9 Troubleshooting 9.1 General This section describes the features available to assist the operator in tracking and correcting L54 radio problems. These features include a series of discrete alarm functions that will assist in tracking both configuration errors and radio failure conditions using the front panel controls at one end of a working radio link.
DTS Broadcast PDH Microwave Digital Radio User Manual Note. The most common reason for this alarm occurrence will be due to a link fade, such as that occurring during excessive rainfall. BER alarm Alarm condition indicates the received BER has exceeded the preset Alarm threshold. The action required to resolve the fault will depend upon all the accompanying alarms. Recommend use of loopback features to locate the problem. Note.
DTS Broadcast PDH Microwave Digital Radio User Manual If resistance is unmeasurable: • Cable is open circuit • Check the cable thoroughly over whole length and at both ends for damage or reasons that would cause an open circuit condition (e.g. connector not terminated correctly and/or badly corroded or cable cut) • If in doubt re-terminate both ends of cable with new connectors. Re-measure cable resistance (with it disconnected at both ends), resistance should be unmeasurable or open circuit.
DTS Broadcast PDH Microwave Digital Radio User Manual Receive Level Alarm condition indicates the receive RF level is below the preset threshold. If alarm occurs on its own, verify RSL, RF path between L54 terminals, antenna alignment and remote terminal transmitter power output setting. If alarm occurs in conjunction with others, the action required to resolve the fault will depend upon the activated alarm. Use of the loopbacks in LCD panel is recommended to locate the problem Note.

DTS Broadcast PDH Microwave Digital Radio User Manual Local Frame Loopback: This loopback is used for locating faults in equipment by routing a tributary input (data from customer) directly to the corresponding tributary output (data to customer). Any combination of tributaries may be configured for loopback. Figure 9-2 shows the loopback path. The incoming data stream from the remote terminal for the tributaries configured in loopback will be affected.
DTS Broadcast PDH Microwave Digital Radio User Manual 9.7 Maintenance No regular maintenance of the L54 installation is necessary. If a fault occurs, the system is sufficiently well alarmed and has diagnostics to allow the operator to rapidly and precisely locate the source of the fault condition. 9.8 Repairing Once the fault has been identified, repairing it refer to prohotol of repairing and description in technical support. Also, see the Troubleshooting Quick Reference Guide in section 9.4.
