1.5. Regulatory Issues
1.5.2 Use of Unlicensed Bands
Special regulations apply to the use of RADIOLINK EVOLUTION 917 and RADIOLINK EVOLUTION 924 in the unlicensed
frequency bands 17,1 –17,3 GHz and 24,00 –24,25 GHz in EU countries: specifically they must
conform to the applicable regulations for the Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) and
therefore the Max allowed Transmit Power is equal to EIRP limit - antenna gain + cable loss.
Limits of EIRP and applicable regulations are shown on ERC/REC 70-03:

100mw (+ 20dBm) for frequency band 17,10 –17,30 GHz and 24,00 –24,25 GHz
Operators should note that regulations are subject to change.
In order to be compliant with such regulations SICE strongly suggests to use antennas with
diameter equal or less than 0.3m (1ft).
In case of 24 GHz the max antenna diameter recommended is 0.2 m.

2 Functions and Handling of the Craft Terminal
(CT)
Introductory Note
The current Manual supports equipment running Rel. 3.1 and replaces the previous Manual
supporting Rel. 3.0. From this Release the CT presentation has been significantly changed using
more modern SW technology to support screen presentation, with the purpose to make more user
friendly the use of CT and to increase the CT capabilities with the addition of new functions.
Note: The new CT is therefore quite different from the previous version and in case of migration to Rel.3.1
proper operator training has to be planned.
2.1. Overview
The equipment is composed by on Outdoor Unit (ODU) and an Indoor Equipment (IDU).
IDU is used to indicate the following types of Indoor units.
PSE: the User/Network Equipment is connected to the ODU via an Indoor Power Supply
Equipment (PSE). This configuration supports IP traffic (up to about 400 Mbps) entering the
system through a GE interface. Two variants of PSE can be used PSE/W or PSE/L (see
TED RADIOLINK EVOLUTION cap. 2.2.3 and 2.2.4)
The PSE provides to the system:
power feeding
interface for a LCT locally connected to the equipment
visual indications (LED) and housekeeping signals
PoE: unit supplied by the customer providing power feeding to the ODU.
For more details about the different system configurations please refer to TED –Cap. 2.3.
In the following reference is made to the basic configurations as shown in Fig. 2.1.
The CT (Operating Terminal) can be connected in Local Mode (LCT) to the LCT port on PSE to
supervise the local terminal of the radio link (local terminal) or the remote terminal of the link
(remote terminal).
It is possible to configure the system to be supervised:
- by CT only: in this case the SNMP interface is inhibited and cannot control the equipment
- by OS and CT: an OS (connected via SNMP protocol) and CT work simultaneously and
there is no exclusion rule between the two.

2.2. Hardware and Software Configuration
To run the RADIOLINK EVOLUTION System User Interface a standard PC is required supporting the following SW
configuration:
− Windows Operating System ≥ Windows 2000
− Java Browser Internet Explorer, Version ≥ 7.0
− Browser Firefox, Version ≥4.0
− Java Virtual Machine, Version ≥ 1.6
2.3. Installation
The PC (Ethernet LAN port) implementing the LCT function has to be connected to the LCT
connector on the front panel of the IDU by means of a standard Ethernet cable with RJ45
connectors. A RCT can be connected to any of the terminals of the link via the IP network the radio
link is included within.
Each terminal of the link can be accessed by the PC implementing the CT function using the IP
address which has to be defined uniquely in the IP network for each equipment.
At the factory all equipment are preloaded with the following IP addressing:
IP Address
192.168.0.50
Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0
Default Gateway
192.168.0.1

E-Mail: [e-mail]
Which can be used at the installation to connect each equipment from the CT (either LCT or RCT).
Before any other action, after having opened a session (see par 2.4), the IP addressing has to be
modified assigning the unique IP address defined by the customer according to the network
addressing plan. This can be done using the “System Settings/Management Interface” window
(see par. 2.10).
The IP address loaded during this session has to be used to control the equipment until modified
using the same procedure.
2.4. Getting the Connection and setting Date and Time
Before opening any session as CT, the LAN port of the PC used as CT has to be assigned an IP
Address belonging to the same Subnet defined for the equipment.
The user can set up the required IP configuration by means of the following procedure:
1. Open “Network Connections” in the Control Panel of the PC
2. Select “LAN Connection” and with the right button of the mouse open the window
3. Click on “Properties”
4. In the window “General” select “Internet Protocol” and open “Properties”
5. Enter the IP address consistent with the Subnet of the equipment
6. Close (OK) the transaction
To open a session as LCT or RCT, the main window of the CT web interface can be get using a
standard browser and writing the Terminal IP address in the “Address” field:
1. Open the Browser (e.g. Internet Explorer)
2. Enter the IP Address of the Terminal as defined at installation or previously assigned (see
par. 2.3) and open the connection.
3. Enter Username and Password in the pop-up login window which opens (Fig. 2.2).
Figure 2-1: Login Window
The Username has the default value “operator” which cannot be changed.
The default value for the Password is “o”. The Password can be changed by the operator through
the procedure detailed in par. 2.17.2)
If another user is already logged, instead of the Login window the pop-up window of Fig. 2.3-a will
be opened and the user cannot login.

If an existing connection with the CT is lost, the alert of Fig. 2.3-b is displayed and the connection
can be re-established clicking on the browser tab and re-entering Username and Password.
Note: After a period of about 30 minutes when the CT has been inactive the CT connection is released. If
the operator reopens again the CT afterwards, the login windows of Fig. 2.3 is displayed and the operator
user has to login again to access the system, inserting Username and Password.
a –Alert: another user is already logged
b –Alert: connection is lost
Figure 2-2: Login Window - Alerts
Note: To access the Remote Terminal of a link (or the Mate and Remote Terminals in case of 1+1 HSB
configuration) from a CT it is possible to establish the connection to the Local terminal and clicking the link
“External Links→Remote Terminal/Mate Terminal” available in the Main Menu (see par. 2.16).
The Remote Terminal of the link can be reached only if the radio link is in normal operation.
Warning: Obviously, using the RCT, any terminal can be reached using its own IP address, but in
this case the operator must be careful not to issue commands that could put out of service the

remote system because the system is not able to filter dangerous operations. Otherwise cutting
the radio link makes in this case the terminal unreachable and a manual local intervention in the
terminal to restore service becomes necessary.
2.5. Setting Date and Time
During system installation it is required to set the date and time of the ODU in order to have valid
timestamps in the log files and performance files. The date and time can be set in two different
modes by using the “System Settings” menu (see par. 2.10), locked to the
Local PC time
NTP server: in this case the user need to enter the IP address of an NTP (Network Time
Protocol) server and the ODU contacts the server to synchronize its clock with it.
Note: The system doesn’t have a backup battery and therefore the date and time is lost every time the
system is restarted. To maintain time and date the ODU automatically attempts a re-synchronization with the
NTP server (if defined) every 30 minutes. Moreover an automatic re-synchronization with the NTP server is
executed when the system is restarted,

displayed to identify the equipment.
2) Logo Area. The Logo of the equipment is displayed.
3) Summary System Status. This area is always displayed providing the key information
about the current system operation. It is therefore possible to supervise continuously the
operation of the system, to have a summary view of the system status and to have
immediate alert when any abnormal condition appears in any phase of the CT operation.
4) Menu Area. In this area links are provided to open the required specific window in the
Variable Window area by clicking on the relevant line of the menu.
5) Variable Window area. Here the different windows can be opened to perform all
management actions and enquires supported by the CT. One window is displayed at a
time, but for all open windows a tab is present in the top line of the area allowing to switch
between the open windows simply by clicking on the tab. A window is displayed until it is
closed or a new one is opened.
The System Status window is displayed by default and its tab is always present.
For all windows the following general rules apply.
Each window is made of one or several functional areas
In a window there can be displayed:
o Information to the operator. Areas only displaying values of system parameters
that cannot be modified have a light blue background.
These items are marked in the following Tables with “I”.
o Parameters configurable by the operator: the current value can be modified by the
operator entering the new value, but the modification (new configuration) is
executed only when the <Apply> button associated to the window is clicked.
These items are marked in the following Tables with “M”.
o Buttons to directly execute some standard operation by clicking them.
Combo-box fields are used to represent attributes that can assume several values.
A Text area is used for attributes with a list of possible values. (i.e. alarm list)
To facilitate understanding of the displayed information, colors are used with the following
meaning:
o Green indicates no problem and normal operation of the system
o Red indicates a critical or urgent alarm status
o Yellow indicates non urgent alarms, warning or abnormal conditions
Detailed information about the areas are included in the following paragraphs.
2.7. Main Window
When a session is opened accessing the CT from the browser (par. 2.4) the Main Window as
shown in Fig. 2.5 is displayed.
The Main Window is normally displayed when no specific actions by CT are required with the key
reporting of the system operation.
From the Main Window, clicking on the suitable links in the Main Menu (left area of the screen) it is
possible to open in the Variable Window area the dedicated windows implementing the different
functions of the CT.
Note: in case the system is Unprotected (1+0 links) some fields in the Settings area are not displayed.
