GENERAL 1-1
1. GENERAL
This chapter provides information regarding the routine and corrective maintenance
for the iPASOLINK VR 10 of the 6 to 42 GHz PDH/SDH digital radio system.
The information includes the following with their instructions and procedures:
NOTE: CWDMF does not have its registration information, that is, its inventory
information cannot be retrieved. To check the CWDMF type, retrieve the
information of SFP that is on the card associated with the target CWDMF.

PRECAUTION 2-1
2. PRECAUTION
The maintenance personnel should report his/her arrival and departure from a station
to the relevant station. Following precautions must be carefully observed during
maintenance.
Warning
3. Turn off the ODU PWR switch on the IDU before connecting/disconnecting the
I/F cable to prevent the equipment from being damaged.
4. Once the equipment is powered on, wait at least 5 minutes before turning its
power off. Repeatedly turning the power on and off within a short interval may
cause the equipment damaged.
Caution
1. In a system using the CWDM, do not stare at the laser beam or look at it
directly with optical instruments, or it may hurt your eyes (Class 1M laser
product).
2. Be aware that the top surface of the IDU above MODEM turns very hot in
operation.
3. Before replacing the IDU, turn off the ODU PWR switch and disconnect all
cables.
2015-11-25 Avea
2-2 PRECAUTION
7. Information on the maintenance and the control such as Mute, CW, LB, etc. is
released if the power is turned off.
11. After equipment start-up, allow the equipment to warm up at least 30 minutes.
2015-11-25 Avea

Cycle option to specify the period of retrieving data:
Refresh Cycle Normal Speed (10sec) Refreshes measured value every 10 seconds.
NOTES:
1. If a parameter indicates the abnormal value, check the Current Status and the
performance monitor (Current/History PMON/RMON Report), and operate the
loopback test to isolate the alarmed sections from the normal sections.
2. RX LEVEL varies depending on the received RF signal level.
3. ODU Power Supply voltage varies depending on the length of I/F Cable between IDU
and ODU.
5. Click the Cancel button on top of the Current Metering window. This step
ends the procedure.

In the facility loopback, a signal is looped back toward the baseband interface
direction. In the terminal loopback, a signal is looped back toward the CS card
direction. They are performed at the STM-1/4 (SDH) or E1 (PDH) interfaces. (See
Notes 1, 2)
To execute the loopback control, set the system into the Maintenance mode.
Important:
To operate the Loopback Control, the system must be set into the Maintenance
mode; Do not cancel the Maintenance mode while operating the Loopback
Control.

There are several maintenance control items that can be set during Maintenance

The function of each control is as follows; These windows are not enabled if the
system is not in the Maintenance mode.
TX Mute Control
Despite the equipment configuration setting, forcing the TX Mute Control to ON will
stop the transmit power of the ODU.
NOTES:
1. If Mute Control is set to off and Mute OFF does not work due to uncontrollable
factors, Mute status will remain on.
2. In case of 1+1 HS configuration, the Mute OFF control does not mute both lines.
Moreover, when forced Mute is controlled in No.1/No.2, Maintenance Mode cannot set
to OFF.
3. When TX Mute is remotely controlled, the setting of the automatic restoration time is
possible. Therefore, TX Mute Release Time should be set.
4. TX Mute Release Time is set together with TX Mute Control by the item that becomes
effective only when TX Mute Control is done from a higher-level device.
2015-11-25 Avea
4-66 CONTROL ITEMS
CW Control
CW (no transmission modulation) is controlled.
It is used when the frequency is measured with a frequency counter and when
spurious one is checked.
If you perform the CW control over a pre-made Mute ON, execute CW ON/OFF after
Mute OFF. At this time, when there is a factor that the CW control is not turned ON it
becomes CW control error.
In addition, in case of remote connection and operated Control CW, it may not be
able to recover again. CW Control will restore automatically according to the TX
Mute Release Time parameter.
The modulation method can be set according to the target device regardless of the
AMR Range setting.
When the TX Modulation Manual Control setting is returned from Manual to Auto,
the fixed modulation method is returned to QPSK.

CR indicates for the Critical Alarm that causes a service affecting failure, which
requires an immediate corrective action. If this level of condition is reported, the
managed object could totally go out of service, restoring its capability.

CAUTION:
1. Maintenance personnel must wear a antistatic wrist strap connected to the
grounded (G) jack to prevent the electrostatic discharges that may affect or
damage the Cards, or may cause equipment errors. Wearing the antistatic wrist
strap will minimize the electrostatic that may be built up during the maintenance
operation.
