ACM enable: bandwidth and reference modulation (its mask can not be exceeded by any ACM profile)
ACM disable: bandwidth and used modulation
Downshift (from 256QAM to 4QAM): the modulation complexity and the radio capacity decrease. Upshift (from 4QAM to 256QAM): the modulation complexity and the radio capacity increase. For each modulation profile the number of extra TDM (and then the Ethernet bitrate) can be set. ALCplus2 35

Adaptive Code Modulation
1/2
ACM profiles In ALplus2/ALCplus2 radio family uses Adaptive Code and Modulation (ACM) in order to employ the correct modulation profile depending on the Rx signal quality. Available ACM profiles are the following: 4QAM strong These profiles operate in an RF channel with the following 4QAM bandwidth: 8 PSK 7 MHz 16 QAM 14 MHz 32 QAM ODU pass band filters 64QAM 28 MHz 128QAM 56 MHz 256 QAM
ACM switching The usage of the previous modulation profiles in a fixed channel bandwidth results in a variable capacity. The criteria defining the necessity of an ACM switching, upshift or downshift, is the Rx S/N ratio.
Upshift – When there is an increase of received S/N, within the same Channel Spacing, the modulation complexity is increased in the direction from 4QAM strong to 256QAM increasing the spectral efficiency
Downshift – When there is a decrease of received S/N, within the same Channel Spacing, the modulation is reduced in the direction from 256QAM to 4QAM strong reducing the spectral efficiency,
ALCplus2
38
Adaptive Code Modulation
2/2
ACM setting • • • •
The ACM can vary modulation profiles between two extremes defined by the operator through software configuration: Upper Modulation and Lower Modulation. Upper Modulation – When propagation into the given radio channel is in the better condition (high Rx S/N), the radio link is working at the maximum throughput defined at Upper Modulation: the highest modulation profile that ACM can employ Lower modulation – When propagation into the given radio channel is in the worst condition (low Rx S/N), the radio link is working at the minimum throughput, defined at Lower Modulation: the lowest modulation profile that ACM can employ
Tx Power mode Tx power mode can be set as Constant Peak or Constant Average (constant bolometer measurement). •
Constant Peak – Tx power is at maximum at 4QAM and at 256QAM is reduced (typical 4.5 dB) so the RF Tx amplifier can operate in better linear conditions
Constant Average – Tx power is the same at any modulation (…is the Upper Mod Tx power)
The Tx Power mode is set depending on the modulation license of the user With Constant Average Tx power (Tx Power Constant Peak Mode = Disable), the Tx power at 4QAM and any other modulation is the same, so if Upper Modulation is 256QAM the output power at any modulation is the same of 256QAM which is 4.5 dB less than 4QAM. The result is that enabling 256QAM gives a big advantage for traffic but less link budget margin at 4QAM.

Peak and 4QAM as ref. mod. With Peak mode enabled and 4 QAM as reference modulation, the max Pout is the max Pout of the radio at any modulation
ALCplus2
42
Peak request and 256QAM as ref. mod. With Peak mode enabled and 256 QAM as reference modulation, the max Pout is the Pout that makes the transmitted spectrum not going out from the mask relevant to reference modulation. If reference modulation is not the one that allows the max Pout of the radio, the Tx power mode comes back to Average. Every time the reference modulation is higher than the lower modulation…the power mode becomes Average

Path overhead
The Virtual Container is made up by path overhead and relevant container: VC = POH + C VC path overhead allows BER extimations, alarm and trouble information, multiplation indication. Depending on C, 2 different POH exist:
VC-11 / VC-12 POH (with A1 and E1)
VC-3 / VC-4 POH (with E3 and E4) ALCplus2
53
AUOH Administrative unit overhead Compensation of variation of payload bit rate (with respect to nominal one) is obteined using stuffing. In AUOH there are 6 bytes for justification signal and other 6 bytes (3 in SOH and other 3 adiacent in the same line of the payload) used for stuffing in order to adjust the position of VC first byte: Adjustment, if necessary, concerns 3 bytes more or less (154 s delay or anticipation) and the update is every 4 frames.

IEEE 802.1Q VLANs VLANs in two different ways: - Based on Port, VLAN related to a local port attribute - Based on IEEE 802.1Q TAG , VLAN is defined by the VID (VLan Identifier) TAG content.
Switching between ports is based on VLAN membership defined into Vlan configuration table.
Lan1 and Port1 are members of Vlan 303
ALCplus2
73
IEEE 802.1Q VLANs • Break a LAN into a few smaller LANs and prevent data to flow between the sub-LANs • Micro segment the LAN with scalability • Distribute traffic load • Better control of broadcast messages • VLAN: a field starting with other 4 Bytes starting with the 2 Bytes 8100 – the packet size from 1518 Bytes arrives to 1522! • VLAN with double TAG: a new field with other 4 Bytes starting with the 2 Bytes 9100 (see Ethernet Switch) – Remember to increase packet size! ALCplus2

VLAN VLAN can be used to route packets through local and remote switch.
If VLAN are not used, “Port Based VLAN” assignment is used port by port ( Port Based VLAN is the old LAN per port )

After there will be a restart.
To prepare the SD memory to be a “back-up”, in the WEBLCT: 1. Insert an empty SD in the IDU and after run WEBLCT 2. Create a Boot SD …it takes about 10 minutes 3.

Reference modulation with ACM off Parameters not checked: Reference modulation with ACM on 5. Extra TDM priority order Channel spacing RF frequency Peak/Average Tx power Link ID ALCplus2

Rescue status During the line-up, if the remote, already configured, is not visible both terminals enter in Rescue status: 4QAM and 0 TDM with Rescue alarm ON. After 5 minutes if the remote remains unreachable, they turn back to use the traffic configuration of the line up.

Line trunk (802.3 ad-LAG) Up to 4 Ethernet lines can be grouped to increase capacity (4 different groups are available) in the same IDU Conditions: 1. Same speed 2. Full duplex
Trunk x

Radio trunk (for Ethernet traffic only) Up to 4 different streams can be grouped to increase capacity (1 group only is available). The IDUs must be in the same node. Throughput: • Unicast < 1Gbit/s bidirectional • Broadcast < 0.5Gbit/s bidirectional

ELP A level 2 protection of ethernet lines (2 or more lines in different groups) in the same IDU or in the same node: the switch is performed when a LAN port LOS (on local side) is noticed. When this LOS is over a second switch is not performed. ELP equipment Prot 1 and 2 ELP nodal Nodal Prot 1, 2, 3 and 4

VLAN 2 is selected
Bind MA
In OAM-FM MA/MEP select the VLAN where to create the MIP and select the command Bind MA. The name of the VLAN is suggested MA name. A MIP is created inside the Ethernet switch.
Now VLAN 2 has a MA and a MIP inside the ALC+2 ALCplus2

VLAN 11 is selected
Bind MEP
Select port and direction
•MEP ID is univocal in the VLAN •MA Name is the VLAN label •CCM Interval is the CCM period :1s, 10s, 1m, 10m and LAN4 is the port where CCM messages exit through Now VLAN 11 has a MEP inside the ALC+2, the CCM start from this MEP and go out through LAN4 every 10 seconds

MEP usage RED: no CCM received from remote MEPs for more than 2.5T , or RMEP not present/crosschecked. Green: received from crosschecked RMEP MEP identity
CCM enabled. The MEP sents CCMs, every T, to its RMEPs to evalutate the status of the VLAN circuit. The CCM can be originated only by a MEP. T = 1s, 10s, 1m, 10m
RMEP: table of Remote MEPs (RMEP) of this local MEP. A RMEP must be crosschecked to be used. Local MEP and its RMEP are in the same VLAN and must have the same CCM period T. A RMEP sends CCMs towards the local MEP and without LBM or LTM does not replies to local MEP.
MEP status: Start - RMEP must be crosschecked Connected – RMEP is working Failed – RMEP is not receiving MAC of remote equip.
