Mobile WiMAX Indoor RAS SPI-2210 System Description/Ed.07
© SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd. 3-37
3.3.3.13 RAS Diagnosis Management (RDM)
The RDM checks if internal and external connection paths or resources of the indoor SPI-
2210 are normal. The connection paths are roughly divided into the external path between
the indoor SPI-2210 internal IPC path and another NE and the path between ACR and the
indoor SPI-2210. In addition, it supports the on-demand test at the request of an operator
and the periodical test according to the schedule defined by the operator.
RDM Functions
Path Test
Internal path test: Ping test for the IPC path of the board level in NE
External path test: Ping or traceroute test for external hosts
Traffic path test: Test for the UDP message-based bearer path between ACR and
the indoor SPI-2210
Software Block Test
Ping test for main programs by processors
RF Exchange Test
Receive Signal Strength Indicator-based (RSSI-based) Rx/Tx path/VSWR diagnosis
Loopback Test
Support of IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet loopback functions
Backhaul performance monitoring test
Quality (packet loss, delay and delay variance) measurement for backhaul between
ACR and the indoor SPI-2210
Periodical online test by the operator setting
Change of the Diagnosis Schedule
Schedule setup, such as diagnosis period, start time and end time of periodical online test
Support of Call Trace Function
It reports the call trace information (signaling message of a specific MS, RF parameter,
traffic statistics) to the management system via SNMPD.
VIF generation and removal
Generate and remove VIF based on physical link configuration in PLD
VIF state management
Change the state of physical VIF with link failure
RF Module Setup and Control
Transmission of the setup information required for the RF module, redundancy
structure and management of failure/status
