2AVAILABLE TOOLS

The following is an overview of the tools that are used in the TRuepoint™ system and software.

System Configuration/Management

Web-CIT

The TRuepoint™ Web-CIT provides for configuration, control, and administration of the radio as well as a display for alarms via an embedded web interface. The Web-CIT is available with a direct connection or remotely through the customer’s TCP/IP network, and displays the current status of both the local and remote units.

The Web-CIT has five main sections:• Fault Management• Configuration• Administration• Performance• Security


2-2 Available Tools

Harris Keypad or VT-100 Terminal

The Harris Keypad/Hand Held Terminal (HHT) provides for the configuration of the radio as well as a display for alarms. The same functionality is available using VT-100 emulation on a standard PC terminal.

You can use the Keypad or a VT-100 terminal to:• Configure and control the system• Review system status• Review system alarms• Implement password control

Netcom

The Netcom protocol carries information inside a Harris equipment network. Its capacity (or bandwidth) allocated in the overhead of the radio is 512 kbit/s (depending on the capacity of the radio).

This protocol encapsulates all the functions such as SCAN (System Control and Alarm Network), Network Management, and O/W. The payload or bandwidth is dynamically allocated to any of these services; this means that if the O/W is not used this capacity is then allocated to Netcom to assign to the remaining services such as NMS or SCAN. This will increase the speed of the Network Management System and SCAN.

Netcom is carried in the auxiliary channel of the RF link (radio overhead). On that link, it is encapsulated in HDLC-like frames.

The physical interface of Netcom is available on the two Ethernet (repeater) 10 Base-T ports to connect to other Harris equipment. The two connectors allow for daisy chain and NMS connections.

The Netcom is available over HDLC links (HDLC Port) as well to connect to MicroStar® equipment and supports the following applications:

• Local and remote login• SCAN• IP and ARP• Network topology

Asynchronous data

The asynchronous data channel is a networking interface intended to transport foreign network management protocols through a Harris Microwave network.


System Configuration/Management 2-3

AV

AIL

AB

LE T

OO

LS

The following assumptions are made about the foreign network management protocol:

• Only one piece of equipment can send data on the data channel at any given moment for the broadcast configuration.

• The protocol used is RS-232, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit and up to 8 bits per character.

• No hardware handshake is needed.• The data channel is not intended to carry synchronous or isochronous

data.

The data channel can be configured for two types of virtual circuits:• Point-to-point (1:1)• Broadcast (1:N)

When a “point to point” (or “1:1”) virtual circuit is established between two Network Elements (NEs) on a network, the data channel ports of both NEs are connected together. When this method is used, the data that enters the data port of a NE goes out of the data port of the other and vice versa. There can be many “point to point” virtual circuits in a Harris network. The network administrator must take care to avoid bottlenecks when designing these virtual circuits.

When a “broadcast” (or 1:N) virtual circuit is established in a Harris network, all the data channel ports that do not already participate in a “point to point” virtual circuit are connected together. When this method is used, the data that enters in the data port of a NE goes to the data port of all the NEs in the network. The NEs that participate in a “point to point” virtual circuit are excluded from the “broadcast” virtual circuit. There can be only one “broadcast” virtual circuit in a Harris network.

The data channel traffic is carried to other NEs over the NETCOM service channel utilizing all available NETCOM ports and in accordance with NETCOM routing protocols.


2-4 Available Tools

StarView™

The StarViewTM Element Management System provides tools to manage your Harris radio networks from a single-operator Windows NT or Windows 2000 workstation. StarView allows you to communicate directly with legacy Harris radio equipment by means of an SNMP proxy agent and with newer Harris radio equipment by means of embedded SNMP agents. StarView’s features include:

• A graphical interface• Network status that allows up to the minute feedback on network

performance• Alarm status that allows immediate feedback on your network's health• Local and remote connectivity with Harris radio equipment• Online help for easy access to StarView operation information

NetBoss EM™

NetBoss EMTM is a scalable, cross platform Element Management System that supports distributed network architectures. It has the flexibility to support a wide range of network topologies and network element protocols, and provides the ability to model your network and monitor its components in real time.

NetBoss EMTM provides a complete management solution for the Harris TRuepoint 4000 PDH/Ethernet digital radio. SNMP management and Web based management of the radios is provided. Complete fault and configuration capabilities with graphical network representations to the radio component level are supported as well.

Paperless Chart Recorder (PCR)

Paperless Chart Recorder (PCR) is a software-based diagnostic tool that permits remote access to the historical data that is stored on the radio. The radio’s computer is capable of storing selected alarms and events as well as logging the received signal power level (RSL) of the radio for set periods of time. PCR provides the ability to upload and view this history of alarms, events and RSL activity using FTP protocol.

More information about PCR can be found in the PCR Instruction manual, IMN-112951-Exx.

Connecting to the Radio: Hand-Held or PC/VT-100 Terminal

Hand-Held Terminal Unit (HHT)

Connect the HHT to Port 2 on the IDU as shown in Figure 3-1.

As shown in Figure 3-2, the HHT has an 11-key keypad, four function keys, and a 4-line by 20-column alphanumeric readout (display).

The numeric keys (keys 0 through 9) are used for keying in numeric values. They are also used for the following functions:

• The 2, 4, 6, and 8 numeric keys are also used as arrow keys and are used to scroll up (8 key), down (2 key), page-up (4 key), and page-down (6 key) through the menus. Page-up and page-down move the display four lines up and down respectively.

• The 5 numeric key is used as a HOME key, which closes the existing menu and returns to the MAIN menu.

The ENTER key is used to initiate the execution of a selected menu function or register a numeric value.

The function keys (F1, F2, F3, and F4) are used to execute menu functions that appear as “soft keys” on the last line in applicable menus. Function key F1 corresponds to the first “soft key” selection, F2 to the second, F3 to the third, and F4 to the fourth. Refer to Figure 3-2 for the location of the “soft keys” in the display.

Figure 3-2: The Hand-held Terminal Unit



VT-100 Terminal or PC

Connect the VT-100 terminal or PC to Port 2 on the IDU as shown in Figure 3-1. You will need an RJ-45 to RS-232 cable or a RJ-45 cable with a RS-232 adapter. For pinout information, refer to Appendix A in the Radio Installation manual, IMN-904007-Exx.

Port 1 or Port 2 can be used with a standard VT-100 terminal or a PC with software that emulates a VT-100; Port 2 is pre-configured at 9600 baud. All Windows PCs have HyperTerminal which will allow you to emulate a VT-100 terminal. To use HyperTerminal, go to Programs > Accessories > Communication > HyperTerminal from the Windows Start menu.

The VT-100 or PC communications port must be configured as follows:

The layout of a typical PC keyboard is shown in Figure 3-3. You will need to use the numeric keys for entering numeric values and the arrow keys to scroll up and down.

The RETURN key is used to initiate the execution of a selected menu function or to register a numeric value.

The period key (.) is used as the HOME key.

The F1, F2, F3, and F4 keys serve as the four function keys that represent the “soft keys” in the display. The soft key EXIT will return the display back to the previous menu.

Configuring and Operating the Radio: Hand-Held or PC/VT-100 Terminal

Moving from Menu to Menu

Once a terminal is connected the operator simply uses certain keys to move from menu to menu. The starting point is the main menu as seen in Figure 3-4 when using a VT-100 terminal or a PC emulation. If you are using the hand-held keypad, only three lines will appear at a time so you will need to use the arrow keys to scroll down. To access the sub-menus, use the arrow-key to scroll through the menu until the desired sub-menu is aligned with the cursor. Then press the return or enter key to display the selected menu. Repeat this procedure on the item that you wish to view or change. To return to the previous menu press F4 (EXIT). To return to the MAIN menu press HOME (.).

For more information on menus, please refer to Chapter 6 and Chapter 7. The entire menu tree is listed in Chapter 6; Chapter 7 contains explanations of all the menu items arranged in alphabetical order.

Path Notation

This manual uses a short-form notation convention to designate menu items. To designate a particular item, the item name is given plus the names of all the menus between the MAIN menu and the item. For example, ALARM > PATH > RSL LOW designates the RSL LOW menu item in the ALARM branch.

Selecting menu options

Many of the menus provide a number of optional operations. For example the CONTROL > TRANSMIT > TX MUTE item provides two options: ON (normal) and OFF.

In the CONTROL branch these options are shown on the display. Also shown on the display is the standard EXIT option as a soft key position on the bottom line of the screen. To select a soft key option, press the F key that corresponds to the option (see Figure 3-2 or Figure 3-3).

In the CONFIGURATION branch, options appear in the NEW VAL field of a selection screen (see Figure 3-5) that appears when the corresponding parameter is selected from the menu. The operator uses the PREV and NEXT keys to bring the required value into the NEW VAL field, then presses EXEC to select it as the new configuration value.

Figure 3-5: Configuration Option Selection Screen

User Authorization

The TRuepoint™ radio has a user authorization feature that limits access to multiple features including the control and configuration menus.

In order to restrict access to the menus in the HHT, you will need to go to CONFIGURATION > ENABLE LOGIN and turn it ON. You will then need to logout of the system. Once ENABLE LOGIN is turned ON, when you go to use the HHT a new screen will appear asking for your user name and password.

When you receive your radio, the default user name is “admin” and the default password is “12345.”

If you want to limit access to the control and configuration menus for a particular user account, go to the CONFIGURATION > USER AUTHORIZATION menu item, create or select the appropriate user, and then select NO under CONTROL ACCESS and CONFIG ACCESS.

If you forget or lose your password you can use the FORGOT PASSWORD? feature on the main menu. In order to access the FORGOT PASSWORD? menu, when the screen appears asking for your user name and password you will need to select VIEW in the bottom right hand corner (F4). Selecting VIEW will allow you into the system as a guest. Once you have logged in as a guest, FORGOT PASSWORD? will appear in the menu after CONFIGURATION. Select it, and an access code will appear. You must then call Customer Service with this access code. Customer Service will give you a 1 time use only password that will allow you to login to the system and fix your password.

The NE address

The network element (NE) address is unique to each radio in the network and corresponds to an IP address. The embedded control software uses the NE ADDRESS item in the main menu to enter the address of the remote radio to be operated. The NE ADDRESS item in the configuration menu is used to set the NE ADDRESS of the local radio.The selection screen for configuring the NE address is similar to the one shown in Figure 3-5, with the difference that it allows the operator to enter an NE address value in the NEW VAL field before pressing EXEC.



Using the Web-CIT

The Web-CIT is an embedded Web based CIT providing the ability to configure, control, and administer the system. This tool utilizes web technology to control and monitor the radio system through a direct connect, or remotely through the customers’ TCP/IP network. Radio pairs, both local and remote, are visible to the operator from the same screen.

On the TRuepoint™ SPU, either of the network management ports allows you to connect a PC to the radio in order to access the Web-CIT. The Web-CIT will work with either Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and higher.

The Web-CIT is powered by the GoAhead Web Server.

Security Considerations

Depending on the security measures at a given site, a customer may need to adjust their security permissions in order to use the Web-CIT. If this is the case, users should be aware that configuring a web browser to run the Web-CIT could create a security breach when accessing the Internet if the security settings are lowered. Users should reset their security levels back to the higher levels before using the same computer to access the Internet for usage other than the Web-CIT.

In no event shall HARRIS CORPORATION, its staff and/or partners be liable to the user for any special, consequential, indirect or similar damages, including any lost profits or lost data arising out of such a security breach. The user is solely responsible for taking all protection measures necessary for achieving a secure connection before, during, and after the use of the Web-CIT software.

Connecting to the Radio: TRuepoint Web-CIT

There are two ways to connect to the radio with TRuepoint Web-CIT.

Option 1:

1. Connect a PC to a network management port on the IDU as shown in Figure 3-1. You will need a standard ethernet cable. In Windows XP, the DHCP client must be active and you use “Obtain an IP address automatically.”

2. Go to your internet browser and type in the IP address that corresponds to the NE address; the default NE address of a new radio is 999 so the IP address will be 10.9.99.1.

3. You will be prompted to enter your user name and password. If this is the first time you are connecting to the system, the default user name is admin and the default password is 12345. If you have both a local and a remote site, you will need to login to both sites.

4. Once you have entered your user name and password, Figure 3-6 will appear. Note that the local radio is on the left side of the main frame and the remote radio is on the right side.

5. Go to CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM and enter a new NE address. Make sure you click the APPLY button. Once you have done this, you will need to reboot the Controller.

6. Once this is done and the system has rebooted, go to your internet browser and type in the IP address that corresponds to the number you entered as the NE address. If you entered 111 as the NE address, for example, then your IP address should be 10.1.11.1; if you entered 232 then your IP address should be 10.2.32.1.

Option 2:

1. Using the Harris Keypad or another VT-100 compatible terminal, enter the NE ADDRESS in the CONFIGURATION > NETWORK MANAGEMENT menu. The NE ADDRESS must be a number from 001 to 999.

2. Still using the Keypad or VT-100 compatible terminal, go to CONTROL > REBOOT SYSTEM.

3. Connect a PC to a network management port on the IDU as shown in Figure 3-1. You will need a standard ethernet cable.

4. Once this is done and the system has rebooted, go to your internet browser and type in the IP address that corresponds to the number you entered as the NE address. If you entered 111 as the NE address, for example, then your IP address should be 10.1.11.1; if you entered 232 then your IP address should be 10.2.32.1.



5. You will be prompted to enter your user name and password. If this is the first time you are connecting to the system, the default user name is admin and the default password is 12345. If you have both a local and a remote site, you will need to login to both sites.

6. Once you have entered your user name and password, Figure 3-6 will appear. Note that the local radio is on the left side of the main frame and the remote radio is on the right side.

Figure 3-6: TRuepoint CIT main page

No matter which option you choose, if you use the PC you are using to connect to the radio for other purposes, you should release and renew your IP connection before entering the IP address of the Web-CIT. To do this, go to the DOS command window and type in ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew.

Configuring and Operating the Radio: TRuepoint Web-CIT

Expanding Menus

Once the Web-CIT is connected the operator simply uses the navigator bar on the far left hand side to move from menu to menu. To expand a menu, click on the appropriate menu item in the black bar and the rest of that menu will appear as shown in Figure 3-7. In this example, the Configuration menu has been expanded, while the Fault Management, Administration, Performance, and Security menus have not.

Selecting menu options

Once you have expanded a menu, you can move from screen to screen simply by clicking on the appropriate option. Figure 3-7 shows the screen that appears when you click on CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM.

Figure 3-7: System Configuration Menu

Many of the menus provide a number of optional operations. For example the CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM screen provides multiple drop down menus as seen in Figure 3-7.

If you make a change, you must click the APPLY button at the bottom of each frame (see Figure 3-9) for that change to take effect.



Other Features

The TRuepoint Web-CIT offers many other features to assist you in operation of the system.

1. At the top of the window is a set of commands that do not change as you navigate from screen to screen. See Figure 3-8, Item 1.• Home: At any time you can click on Home to return to the main screen.• Help: A new window will pop up containing the HELP database.• Log off: When you are finished, click on log off to be logged out of the

system.• Refresh: Refreshes the window.

2. A graphical representation of the LEDs that are on the physical units appears at the top of the main frame for both the Local and Remote site. See Figure 3-8, Item 2. Note that if the computer icon next to the word “Local” or “Remote” is flashing blue, the connection is up. If the computer icon is red, the connection has been lost.

3. On the main page, when you first log in to the system, a graphical representation of the hardware for both the local and remote site appears. See Figure 3-8, Item 3.

4. To change the color scheme, go to ADMINISTRATION > COLOR SCHEME. As seen in Figure 3-9, you have three choices: red, blue and green. Blue is the default. When you change the color on the local side, it changes the color on the local window and the navigation bars. When you change the color on the remote side, it changes the remote window. See Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-9 for examples of using two different color schemes.

5. When you select an item from the menu bar such as ADMINISTRATION > COLOR SCHEME as seen in Figure 3-9, a HELP button appears at the bottom of the page. If you want help for this particular screen, clicking on the HELP button will take you directly to that information in the HELP database.

Configuration Details

Once you have connected to the radio you will need to configure the system. The following instructions are for using the Web-CIT to configure the system; the menu path in the HHT will be listed at the end of each section.

NE Address

If you have not entered a unique IP address for the radio, do so at this time. See “Connecting to the Radio: TRuepoint Web-CIT” on page 3-9.

System Information

The first three entries on the CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM page are NAME, LOCATION, and CONTACT. Please note that these fields can contain up to 126 characters only.

Tx & RX Frequencies

Go to CONFIGURATION > RADIO > FREQUENCY and set your Tx and Rx frequencies. The default frequency for both Tx and Rx is 0 kHz so it is important that you enter a correct frequency in the appropriate box. Entries should be made in kHz.

The following frequencies are available for the existing RFU bands:

Used Capacity

Go to CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM.

For every system, the software will detect the maximum available capacity of the system. This number is displayed as a non-editable entry in CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM as SYSTEM CAPABILITY.

If you so choose, you can reduce the number of tributaries that will be used by the system. This is available in the USED CAPACITY drop-down menu.

If you set the USED CAPACITY to a lower number than the SYSTEM CAPABILITY, then the actual capacity of the system will be equal to the lower number. For example, if you have a maximum capacity of 16E1, but you only want to use 8 tributaries at this time, then you would set your USED CAPACITY at 8 E1. Your SYSTEM CAPABILITY will still appear as 16E1.

If you would like to upgrade your maximum capacity, please call your local Technical Assistance Center.

HHT: CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM > SPU > USED CAPACITY for setting the Used Capacity, STATUS > SYSTEM > CAPABILITY for viewing the System Capability.

Channel Bandwidth

Go to the CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM page. Under the BANDWIDTH drop-down menu there are corresponding bandwidths that may be selected for each capacity. Table 3-2 displays these options. When you select the appropriate bandwidth, the corresponding MODULATION will automatically appear.

TPC Mode

Transmit Power Control (TPC) allows you to adjust the TX output power to the necessary level in order to provide reliable signal reception at the remote end of the RF link.

Go to CONFIGURATION > RADIO > TPC and select the TPC mode: Manual Control, ATPC, or DTPC. The configuration points mentioned below can be entered on this page as well.

HHT: CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM > OUTPUT POWER > TPC MODE.

Manual Control is the default mode, and allows you to adjust the Tx output power to the desired level, by setting the Tx Static Attenuation. The range is from 0-30 dB, in 0.5 dB increments.

ATPC mode allows the radio to operate at a low output power that is enough to provide reliable signal reception at the remote end of the RF link. However, when a fading condition occurs and the RSL at the remote end is approaching the system threshold, the Tx output power increases to a predetermined high output power level. When the fading condition is over and the RSL at the remote end is far enough below the system threshold, the Tx output power returns to the low level.

To set up ATPC, you must set the nominal power level using Tx Static Attenuation. Then you define the Remote ATPC Low Threshold Offset (0-25 dB) and the Boost Step (0-15 dB). When the RSL level drops below the system threshold plus the ATPC low threshold, the receiver will set the boost request flag and send it to the transmitter. If allowed, the transmitter will increase the Tx output power by the number set in the Boost Step. When the RSL at the receiver increases above the system threshold plus the ATPC high threshold, the receiver clears the boost request flag and sends it back to the transmitter, which in turn returns Tx output power bock to the nominal power level.

Figure 3-11 illustrates various parameters related to ATPC mode; the dashed line shows that without ATPC, the RSL would go below the system threshold.



Figure 3-11: ATPC Parameters

DTPC mode allows you to specify a target remote end RSL value that provides reliable signal reception. Tx output power is automatically adjusted to maintain this specified target remote end RSL, by comparing the received remote RSL with the Remote Nominal RSL value and adjusting accordingly.

The nominal power level set via Tx Static Attenuation serves as a starting point. Tx output power can be decreased if nominal power is not needed to maintain the Remote Nominal RSL value, but the Tx output power will never go above the nominal power level.

Figure 3-12 illustrates various parameters related to DTPC mode; the dashed line shows RSL as it would be without DTPC.

Network Management

Harris point-to-point equipment is designed to work with standard protocols over standard media and with Harris legacy products using the proprietary SCAN and Netcom protocols. TRuepoint supports an IP network (the Web-CIT, SNMP, FTP), a Netcom network, and a SCAN network.

You can connect a TRuepoint radio to other Harris point-to-point radios via the Ethernet port to another Ethernet port, via the HDLC serial port to a RPTR_IN serial port, or via the serial Port 1 to a SPUR (AUX) port.

Figure 3-14: Example of a network with Netcom connections to other Harris radios

Figure 3-15: Connection Points from Figure 3-17

The Netcom protocol uses an addressing scheme based upon the NE address. Each radio in the network should have its own NE address and messages can be sent to any node in the network by using that NE address. Each radio also needs an IP address which can be assigned manually or automatically based on the NE address.

Each radio has an Ethernet IP interface as well that has an IP address which can be assigned manually, automatically based on the Netcom NE address, or automatically using a DHCP Server.

Network Configuration

For Network configuration, go to CONFIGURATION > IP ROUTING > NETWORK INTERFACES in the Web-CIT. The NETCOM IP INTERFACE should be set to ENABLE. Under MODE, select Auto or Manual. Auto is the default and will automatically generate the Netcom IP address and subnet mask for each radio based on the NE address. For example, if the radio’s NE address is 333, then the Netcom IP address will be 172.23.33.1. If you select Manual, you will need to enter a Netcom IP address and subnet mask in the appropriate boxes.

Still in CONFIGURATION > IP ROUTING > NETWORK INTERFACE, the ETHERNET IP INTERFACE should be set to ENABLE as well. Under MODE, select Auto, Manual, or DHCP Client.

Auto is the default and will automatically generate the Ethernet IP address and subnet mask for each radio based on the NE address. For example, if the radio’s NE address is 333, then the Ethernet IP address will be 10.3.33.1. See Figure 3-16.

You also can elect to use the DHCP Server in the radio in order to configure other equipment such as a laptop or NMS. The DHCP Server will generate an IP address that in turn will grant a lease to a laptop (or other equipment) plugged into the Ethernet port on the radio. To use this option, select Auto for MODE, and then ENABLE the DHCP SERVER.

If you select Manual, you will need to enter a Ethernet IP address and subnet mask in the appropriate boxes.

If you select DHCP Client, the radio becomes a DHCP client on your pre-existing network and the Ethernet IP interface will request an IP address from a DHCP server. You will need to have a DHCP server on your network to use this option.

If you reconfigure the IP settings (change from Auto to DHCP Client for example), it is recommended that you perform a software boot.

Routing

Each TRuepoint radio can be viewed as an IP router with two interfaces: Ethernet and Netcom.

In order to configure the router, the user has three options. The first option is to disable routing altogether and use a piece of third party equipment at each site to connect to each radio’s Ethernet interface for management.

The second option is to define the network with a user-defined static routing table on each radio. This is applicable to very small networks only since there are 10 maximum static routes that can be defined. To use this option, go to CONFIGURATION > IP ROUTING > STATIC ROUTING. Enter the IP address, mask, and next IP router for each static route that you want to use.

HHT: CONFIGURATION > NETWORK MANAGEMENT > IP ROUTING > STATIC ROUTES.

The third option involves dynamic routing. The TRuepoint radio supports the RIP dynamic routing protocol which is a simple dynamic routing protocol that will broadcast all of its known routes periodically to the rest of the network. Each router receiving these updates can update their own routing tables with this information. The RIP daemon on the TRuepoint radio is configured to supply routes when more than one interface is enabled on the TRuepoint radio. The routes can be selectively broadcast on either or both of the Netcom or Ethernet interfaces. When enabled, routing updates will be sent every 30 seconds. Any received route that is not updated within 180 seconds will expire and be removed from the routing table. The RIP daemon can be configured in two different modes: disabled or Version 2. Version 1 is not supported. The disabled mode disables all RIP operations. Version 2 sends and receives only RIPv2 updates which support classless addressing and variable length subnet masks.

HHT: CONFIGURATION > NETWORK MANAGEMENT > IP ROUTING > DYNAMIC ROUTING.



SNMP

Each TRuepoint radio has an embedded SNMP agent on board allowing the user to configure, control and monitor the system using a remote station that supports SNMP Network Management.

To set up SNMP managers, go to SECURITY > SNMP MANAGERS. To set up trap destinations go to SECURITY > TRAP DESTINATIONS. You may enter up to 10 SNMP managers and up to 10 trap destinations. For a complete list of traps, please see Figure 6-9.

HHT: CONFIGURATION > NETWORK MANAGEMENT > SNMP.

If you would like to change the SNMP community names from the default, you will need to use the HHT or PC/VT-100 terminal. The TRAP community name can be changed from either the HHT or the Web-CIT.

To change the SNMP read community name from its default, “public”, go to CONFIGURATION > NETWORK MANAGEMENT > SNMP > COMMUNITY STRINGS > GET COMMUNITY. Enter the new name.

To change the SNMP read-write community name from its default, “private”, go to CONFIGURATION > NETWORK MANAGEMENT > SNMP > COMMUNITY STRINGS > SET COMMUNITY. Enter the new name.

To change the TRAP community name from its default, “truepoint”, go to CONFIGURATION > NETWORK MANAGEMENT > SNMP > TRAP PARAMETERS> TRAP COMMUNITY. Enter the new name. If using the Web-CIT, go to CONFIGURATION > NETWORK MANAGEMENT > TRAP PARAMETERS.

The following relay inputs are available: MANU CTL, MAJOR ALARM, MINOR ALARM, SIGNAL DEGRADED, CONTROL ACTIVE, SYNC LOSS, TRIB INPUT LOSS, RSL LOW, ERR SEC ALM, BER ALM, CABLE, RFU, SPU, ATPC HIGH POWER, TPC TIME LIMIT and OPT OW RING1.

The SPU also provides two digital inputs for local site alarm monitoring. These alarms are reported in the Web-CIT or HHT the same way that the radio alarms are reported.

Web-CIT

If the pages in the Web-CIT do not look correct, or pages are partially loaded only, you should clear your internet cache and reboot your browser.

You also may need to clear your internet cache after a software upgrade.

Glossary of Alarms

1. If you assign OPT OW RING as an alarm relay, this alarm will appear when the phone set at the site is ringing. Please note that this alarm does not mean a hardware failure, but indicates that the technician’s attention to the ringing phone is requested.

This chapter provides an expanded description (as appropriate) of most of the acronyms used in the TRuepoint™ 4000 user documentation.

AGC Automatic Gain Control

ATPCAutomatic Transmit Power Control — A feature of digital microwave radio equipment that adjusts the transmitter output power based on path fading detected at the receiver.

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

DTPCDynamic Transmit Power Control — A feature enabling the regulation of a target receive signal level by remotely and proportionally controlling the corresponding transmitter output power level.

FTP File Transfer Protocol

HDLCHigh-level Data Link Control — A bit-oriented synchronous data link layer protocol developed by ISO. HDLC specifies a data encapsulation method on synchronous serial links using frame characters and checksums.

HHTHandheld terminal — A Harris’ user interface device (also known as a display keypad). It allows the user to configure and monitor the radio when not using CIT or Web-CIT.

IF Intermediate Frequency

IP Internet Protocol — A method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet.

LANLocal-area Network — A data network located on a user's premises within alimited geographical area. Widely used technology standards in LANs areEthernet, FDDI, and Token Ring.


8-2 Glossary

MSUUMicrowave Software Upgrade Utility — A Harris’ proprietary software utility for upgrading the software and firmware of the TRuepoint™ radios. Uses Microsoft Windows 2000® Service Pack 4 or later.

MUXMultiplexer — A circuitry that combines two or more information-carrying channels for transmission over one channel, by using frequency division or time division techniques

NMS Network Management System — such as Harris’ StarView™.

QAMQuadrature Amplitude Modulation — A method of combining two amplitude-modulated signals into a single channel, thereby doubling the effective bandwidth.

QPSK Quadrature Phase Shift Keying — A digital frequency modulation technique used for sending data over coaxial cable networks.

Restricted Area

A location qualified in accordance with IEC Standard 60950-1 as providing an• access that can only be gained by Skilled Persons or users who have been

instructed about the reasons for the restriction applied to the location and about any precautions to be taken; and

• access achieved through the use of a Tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

RFU Radio Frequency Unit — The radio unit that is installed mainly outdoors.

RIP Routing Information Protocol

RMS Rack Mounting Space

RPC Radio Processing Card

RSL Received Signal Level

RSSI Received Signal Strength Indicator — A parameter returned from a transceiver that gives a measure of the RF signal strength, either uplink or downlink.

RTPC Remote Transmit Power Control — A feature that allows an operator to access a remote transmitter and insert an attenuation in the transmitted signal. This is done through the HHT or Web-CIT. The RTPC tolerance is +/- 2 dB.

Skilled Person

A skilled person is considered to have the necessary knowledge and practical experience of electrical and radio engineering to appreciate the various hazards that can arise from working on radio transceivers, and takes appropriate precautions to ensure the safety of personnel.This individual is considered to be a skilled person only if he/she is competent to take responsibility for both his/her safety and for that of unskilled personnel under his/her immediate supervision, when working on the transceiver.Training requirements for a skilled person should not only be confined to technical matters and, preferably, should include first-aid treatment, especially methods of artificial resuscitation: respiration and cardiac compression (heart massage).

TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol — A standard that provides connectivity across computer platforms ranging from mainframes to Macintoshes. These computers can exchange data when connected over a compatible network scheme, such as Ethernet or X.25. Originally developed by the Department of Defense in the 70’s, these protocols are now a de facto industry standard.

Web-CIT

Web-Craft Interface Tool — A Harris’ proprietary software utility for monitoring and controlling the operation and configuration of the TRuepoint™ radios. Located on the TRuepoint™ Controller, any of the two RPTR/NMS ports allows for connecting a PC running the Web-CIT server that is embedded in the radio. This web server stores HTML pages and applets that provide a user interface for monitoring and controlling any TRuepoint™ Network Element, using the Microsoft® Internet Explorer, version 5.5 and later.
