If user enable the Q1 loop protection, select the Loop option (primary and secondary) in the table. Note : For Q1 polling to work properly over time-slot 0, the base transceiver station (BTS) has to be commissioned with the OMUSIG or cross-connected traffic. Q1 EOC Allocation Q1 EOC channels are used to carry Q1 commands from the Q1 entities Master/Slave over the interfaces. User can add and delete the Q1 EOC channels. Only one EOC channel can be made for each Interface. Q1 Polling Mode is displayed in the online mode. The values can be BTS Polling or BSC Polling. In BTS polling, Flexi MultiRadio BTS supervises (is Q1 master) all internal or external transmission equipment connected to the BTS. In BSC polling, the BSC supervises all transmission equipment (is Q1 master). The external equipment can be connected to the BTS through Q1 cable or via configured Q1 EOC channel. The polling mode cannot be changed manually at the BTS but is the result of the configuration at the BSC. In the Flexi MultiRadio BTS it is not necessary to manually configure any Q1 switches to establish the internal Q1 paths. The configuration is done automatically based on the Q1 polling mode. As a consequence all internal or external transmission devices connected to the BTS must be either BTS polled or BSC polled. A combination of polling modes is not possible. This must be observed particularly when configuring the external devices (connected either through Q1 cable or EOC channel).

There are three options: •  If the PseudoWire traffic is delivered to the BTS site via 100 Base-T Ethernet, you need to configure the PseudoWire mode with the EIF1 or EIF2 interface selected. •  If the PseudoWire traffic is delivered to the BTS site via optical Gigabit Ethernet, you need to configure the PseudoWire mode with the EIF3 interface selected. Auto negotiation is not applicable for EIF3. Note that this option can only be selected if a compatible SFP module is inserted into the FIQA or FIYA. •  If you select none, you can continue with the PseudoWire configuration but no Ethernet interface is taken into use. PseudoWire operation is not possible in this case. •  Note that the Ethernet switching feature is supported as soon as more than one Ethernet interface is taken into use. In case of Fast Ethernet, the default speed is 100 Mbps. If Auto negotiation is disabled, the fixed 100 Mbps speed is in use. If Auto negotiation is enabled, the interface uses the negotiated speed. In case of Gigabit Ethernet, the fixed speed is 1Gbps. •  Auto negotiation is not supported. Manual configuration of speed or duplexity is not supported for any of the Ethernet interfaces. •  The Interface role settings can also be specified. When defining the role for the three Ethernet interfaces, backhaul port is mandatory and should be assigned to only one in use interface. The default role is Access_Switched. A port which is already assigned with Backhaul role cannot have any other role. Ingress policing is mandatory only if the role given to a port is 'Access QoS IPSec scheduled'. For all the other roles this field is disabled

Packet Abis Transport In the Shaping and Scheduling tab, the Committed information rate field is enabled only if traffic shaping is enabled. If traffic shaping is enabled, the Committed information rate is a mandatory field. Traffic shaping is used for the network or traffic sources to control traffic entering the network, and to limit the allowed egress rate over the Abis interface. The Committed information rate is the average rate up to which packets or frames are delivered by the network.

RA22754EN03GLA0

91


Network Plane Settings All the fields in this screen are mandatory. When Packet Abis is used, it is mandatory to have supervision for the user plane. The BTS sends dummy packets in periodic intervals to the BSC. The BSC filters these packets based on the UDP Radio Channel port (indicating a non-valid TRX) and forwards them back to the BTS. BTS starts sending dummy packets when there is at least one functioning TRX, and stops sending the packets when there are no functioning TRXs (no TRX signaling link). You can specify the time interval for the BTS to send the packets for data and voice under User plane supervision. The BTS IP address is the M-plane IP address, and the BSC IP address is the BSC Mplane IP address for that BTS. The subnet mask is the BTS M-plane subnet mask. The gateway IP addresses are of the local subnet that the BTS belongs to. In PAoPSN Relay Mode, when the system is uncommissioned (with bypass capacity) and commissioned again, then the BSC IP address parameter must be configured again.

This screen allows you to configure the SCTP and IUA parameters. By default, the transmission medium selected is 'Fast' and all the fields that depend on the transmission medium are provided with the default value corresponding to that medium. If you try to change any of the default values, the transmission medium automatically changes to ‘User defined’. The supported transmission mediums are 'Fast', 'Medium', 'Satellite' and 'User defined'. When there is a fast connection to the BSC, ‘Fast’ is selected as the transmission medium. This facilitates faster retransmission and earlier error detection, whereas, when the transmission time is longer, leading to longer error detection times, “Satellite’ is selected as the transmission medium. The Minimum SCTP port must match the OMU SCTP port at the BSC.

Packet Abis Security Packet Abis security feature is available only with FIYx/FIQx PIUs operating in Packet Abis or Packet Abis Relay online mode for a packet switched network. This is a licensed feature. Global IP Security is enabled when you want secured traffic to be sent/received for any of the planes. This option can also be used to fetch certificates from the certification authority or certification repository. In this case, Certificate Management Protocol also needs to be enabled. In the IPSec tab, specify the security and encryption parameters.

RA22754EN03GLA0

95


Packet Abis Security In the Transmission Plane tab, the tunnel settings for planes can be specified. The tunnel IPs become mandatory when the 'Global IP security' is 'On' and the 'IPSec‘ for the corresponding plane is either 'On' or 'Probe'. By default, it is mandatory to fill the values for first tunnel Id in the tunnel settings table. If there is already a tunnel configured in the tunnel settings table or you start configuring the second tunnel, then the mandatory indication in the first row disappears.

RA22754EN03GLA0

96


Packet Abis Security In the Firewall tab, you can specify the firewall settings. Select the Enable ICMP redirect option if IP routing is used between the source and destination, that is, if an IP gateway is configured. With ICMP redirect message, the gateway may update the routing to a dedicated destination by providing a new gateway address. So, when the BTS receives an ICMP redirect message from the gateway, it updates the routing table for the destination of the packet that triggered the ICMP redirect message. However, this routing update is not permanent, that is, the configured gateway address is not changed and becomes effective again after a reset. The purpose of this feature is to optimize routing to the destination. Select the Enable packet filtering option to activate the BTS firewall. This feature should always be enabled.

RA22754EN03GLA0

Certificate Certificate management feature is available with FIYx/FIQx PIUs operating in Packet Abis and Packet Abis Relay modes. Certificate management consist of Certificate configuration and Certificate deletion. In the Configuration tab, the value of the IKE authentication mode is obtained from the Packet Abis Security screen. If IKE authentication mode is 'X.509' and 'Enable certificate management protocol' is selected, then the parameters which are indented under the certificate management protocol become mandatory

Synchronization On the Sources tab, you can: • Configure the clock priority list from a list of available clock sources. You can only select one of the PseudoWire interfaces as a synchronization source. • Add or remove sources from the priority list. • Increase or decrease the priority of a source in the list. Note that if Internal Timing is part of the priority list, it has always the lowest priority. When the FIYB/FIQB plug-in units are used, there are some additional synchronization sources available. The synchronization sources specific to FIYB/FIQB are Timing over Packet (ToP) and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE). ToP and SyncE have separate licenses. Only one among ToP, SyncE, and PseudoWires can be moved into the priority list at a time. ToP master IP address parameter becomes mandatory when ToP is moved into the priority list. When ToP or SyncE are moved to the Priority List, the 'Optional Parameters' button is displayed. The optional parameters of ToP and SyncE can be configured through the window which appears on clicking the 'Optional Parameters’ button. The ToP parameters define the synchronization message rate and time interval for measuring the rate. In the ‘Announce message rate’ field, specify the interval of receiving announce messages by ToP Slave clock from ToP master. The ‘Unicast transmission duration’ specifies the duration for which the TRS receives sync messages from the ToP master. You can enable Synchronization status messages (SSM). The SSM message includes the quality level of incoming reference signals. This enhances reliability across the network for the operator and eases troubleshooting.

Ethernet Monitoring Ethernet Monitoring screen enables you to specify the monitoring configuration. You can configure the monitoring state, monitoring sources, and monitoring destinations. On selecting the monitoring, arrows are displayed to indicate direction of traffic, with respect to the switch, of the interface being monitored. The monitoring destination can be the same or different for ingress and egress monitoring source. PWE/Packet Abis port is an internal port and is not used as a monitoring destination. The monitoring sources and destination can be configured without enabling the monitoring, however you will be informed of any such action, as it will not start the monitoring. Similarly, you can configure out of use interfaces or a not detected SFP (EIF3) module, but you are informed that monitoring will not start.

Packet Abis Transport This screen enables you to configure the Packet Abis transport parameters. You can view the DSCP parameters when the 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager is in online mode only. Click on the ML/MC-PPP Class Mapping button to view the DSCP and ML/MC-PPP Class mapping. The ML/MC-PPP Class Mapping and the scheduling weights are defined in the BSC, and can only be viewed in the 2G Flexi BTS Site Manager. If header compression of ML- PPP and UDP/IP headers are enabled, IP header compression is the process of compressing excess protocol headers before transmitting them on a link and uncompressing them to their original state on reception at the other end of the link. It is possible to compress the protocol headers due to the redundancy in header fields of the same packet as well as consecutive packets of the same packet stream. Since header compression may not be available in all network elements, this functionality is optional and to be enabled/disabled by configuration. The header compression settings must be in line with those at the BSC.

RA22754EN03GLA0

112


Network Plane Setting All the fields in this screen are mandatory. When Packet Abis is used, it is mandatory to have supervision for the user plane. The BTS sends dummy packets in periodic intervals to the BSC. The BSC filters these packets based on the UDP Radio Channel port (indicating a non-valid TRX) and forwards them back to the BTS. BTS starts sending dummy packets when there is at least one functioning TRX, and stops sending the packets when there are no functioning TRXs (no TRX signaling link). You can specify the time interval for the BTS to send the packets for data and voice under User plane supervision. The BTS IP address is the M-plane IP address, and the BSC IP address is the BSC Mplane IP address for that BTS. The subnet mask is the BTS M-plane subnet mask.

113


Protocol Settings This screen allows you to configure the SCTP and IUA parameters. By default, the transmission medium selected is 'Fast' and all the fields that depend on the transmission medium are provided with the default value corresponding to that medium. If you try to change any of the default values, the transmission medium automatically changes to ‘User defined’. The supported transmission mediums are 'Fast', 'Medium', 'Satellite' and 'User defined'. When there is a fast connection to the BSC, ‘Fast’ is selected as the transmission medium. This facilitates faster retransmission and earlier error detection, whereas, when the transmission time is longer, leading to longer error detection times, “Satellite’ is selected as the transmission medium. The Minimum SCTP port must match the one at the BSC.

PPP Configuration You can select between the MC4, MC2, ML, and PPP modes. When the mode selected is PPP, only one channel can be configured for each bundle in the PPP bundle allocation screen if the mode is changed from a non-PPP mode to PPP when more than one channel misconfigured for each bundle, the following error is displayed

RA22754EN03GLA0

115


Define the PPP bundles. This page allows you to allocate bundles for the chosen E1/T1 interface. A bundle is a collection of timeslots of one or multiple E1/T1 interfaces. The minimum required bundle size is 128kbps. The same bundle can span across different interfaces. Each bundle has a bundle id. A chunk of continuous timeslots of a bundle is called a channel. A bundle can have maximum up to 8 channels. Maximum number of channels possible for all the bundles is 68. Configuration of bundle 1 is mandatory as it is used for routing the backhaul traffic to BSC. For bundle 1 no other routing is possible.

RA22754EN03GLA0

116


PPP bundle protection values In this screen, you can define protection of one interface with another interface, that is if one interface goes down, the protecting interface becomes active for transmission.

RA22754EN03GLA0

117


Routing configuration between different PPP bundles You can enable/disable the IP routing state using the IP routing enabled checkbox. You can also add new routes and configure up to 128 routing entries irrespective of the IP routing state. You can add or delete the routing entries. Route to the IPCP peer IP addresses of a bundle is implicitly learned to go via that bundle as soon as the bundle comes up. Removal of any routing information from routing table by the operator has no impact on these implicitly learned routes. The IP Routing screen does not display these implicit routes.

Synchronization parameters. On the Protection tab, you can define the synchronization/Q1 Loop protection. If synchronization/Q1 Loop protection is not configured, then the topology is shown as 'Chain'. If 'Loop' topology is selected to configure synchronization/Q1 Loop protection, it is mandatory to configure Master Clock Bit/Loop Control Bit (MCB/LCB). You need to specify the position of MCB/LCB bits on a Priority 1/Primary Interface and a Priority 2/Secondary Interface. PDH Loop Protection is a function that provides instant recovery from transmission failures in a network of network elements, where each element is assigned two independent transmission routes. In the case of a fault in one route, traffic, synchronization and Q1 management functions are switched by the system automatically to the intact route.

Q1 Management Click Add, select the sampling rate (will be the same for all Q1 EOC allocations), and define the other settings in the table to meet user requirements. If user enable the Q1 loop protection, select the Loop option (primary and secondary) in the table. Note : For Q1 polling to work properly over time-slot 0, the base transceiver station (BTS) has to be commissioned with the OMUSIG or cross-connected traffic. Q1 EOC Allocation Q1 EOC channels are used to carry Q1 commands from the Q1 entities - Master/Slave over the interfaces. User can add and delete the Q1 EOC channels. Only one EOC channel can be made for each Interface. Q1 Polling Mode is displayed in the online mode. The values can be BTS Polling or BSC Polling. In BTS polling, Flexi MultiRadio BTS supervises (is Q1 master) all internal or external transmission equipment connected to the BTS. In BSC polling, the BSC supervises all transmission equipment (is Q1 master). The external equipment can be connected to the BTS through Q1 cable or via configured Q1 EOC channel. The polling mode cannot be changed manually at the BTS but is the result of the configuration at the BSC. In the Flexi MultiRadio BTS it is not necessary to manually configure any Q1 switches to establish the internal Q1 paths. The configuration is done automatically based on the Q1 polling mode. As a consequence all internal or external transmission devices connected to the BTS must be either BTS polled or BSC polled. A combination of polling modes is not possible. This must be observed particularly when configuring the external devices (connected either through Q1 cable or EOC channel).
