About the GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP OCBs  
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP RFUs and OCBs (Outdoor Circulator Blocks) can be chained in different ways for  
different configurations.  
Two types of OCBs can be used:  
Type1 OCB  
Type2 OCB  
The main difference between the two types are the circulator directions. Depending on the configuration, OCB Type  
1 or Type 2 are used together with waveguide shorts, waveguide loads, U Bends, C Bends, or couplers.  
Each OCB has four waveguide access points: two in the front, and two at the rear. The diversity access point is  
optional.  
If the system is not configured for diversity, all the relevant access points on the OCB must be terminated using  
waveguide shorts.  
Type 1 OCB  
Type 2 OCB

Chapter 2: Initial System Setup  
General  
After the system is installed and tested, and antenna alignment is performed, the next step is initial IDU setup and  
configuration.  
Initial setup procedures are performed on a craft terminal via a serial port connection.  
Note:  
Configuration procedures are generally performed using the NMS software supplied with MDS Intrepid-HC HP.  
A description of the NMS and how to use it is provided in the NMS User Guide.  
The craft terminal should be used only to perform the initial setup procedures described in this chapter. Once the  
system is up and running, use NMS to maintain and operate the system on a regular basis.  
Initial Setup Steps  
The initial MDS Intrepid-HC HP setup procedure includes the following steps:  
Procedures Performed using a Craft Terminal:  
- Connecting to the IDU via the terminal port  
- Defining IP addresses  
- Setup Options  
Procedures Performed using the NMS:  
- Connecting to the Ethernet port  
- Installing the software  
- Setting the local TX frequency channel  
- Specifying system information  
- Configuring the local/remote transport  
- Configuring trap forwarding

Initial Setup using the Craft Terminal  
The following procedures are performed after the RFU and antenna are installed.  
Connecting to the IDU via Serial Port  
Turn the IDU power switch ON.  
On the front panel of the IDU, the DRWR LED should be lit green.  
To set up the HyperTerminal connection:  
1. Connect the RS-232 port of your computer to the RS-232 (9-pin) port on the IDU front panel. This port is  
labeled “Terminal”.  
2. Select Start, Programs, Accessories, Communication, HyperTerminal.  
3. Double-click the HyperTerminal application icon.  
4. For Connection Description, type Terminal, and click OK.  
5. In the Connect Using field (Phone Number), select Direct to Com 1, and click OK.  
6. In the Port Settings tab (Com 1 Properties), specify the following settings:  
Bits per second - 19,200  
Data bits - 8  
Parity - None  
Stop bits - 1  
Flow control - Hardware  
7. Click OK.  
8. After you connect to the terminal, to enter the terminal setup program, press Enter.  
9. For password, use admin.

Defining IP Addresses  
Before you can configure the MDS Intrepid-HC HP system, you need to define IP addresses using the craft  
terminal.  
The MDS Intrepid-HC HP includes two IP interfaces: an Ethernet interface, and a serial interface. Each interface  
has its own IP address and IP mask.  
The IP address is a four digit number separated by decimal points. Each IP address is a pair netid,hostid, where  
netid identifies a network, and hostid identifies a host on the network. The IP mask separates between the netid and  
hostid.  
For example, if the IP address is 192.114.35.12 (11000000 01110010 00100011 00001100), and the IP mask is  
255.255.255.0 (11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000), the netid is 192.114.35, and the hostid is 12.  
An IP interface can only communicate with hosts that are on the same net (have the same netid). In the example  
above, the interface can communicate only with hosts that have netid 192.114.35 (for 1 to 255).  
If The transceiver has a frame to send to a host that is not on the Ethernet IP netid or the serial IP netid, the frame  
should be sent to an intelligent device (usually a gateway) on the network. Such a device, known as a "default  
router", will know how to send the frame over the internet. The default gateway should be a host on one of the  
Transceiver interface netids.  
The following figure shows how the transceiver is integrated in the local network.

Initial Setup for Intrepid-HC HP/T IDU  
Initial Setup Steps for up to 9+1 Configuration  
Cascading two Intrepid-HC HP/T IDUs at each site enables a configuration of up to 9+1 (10 carriers), or XPIC 7+1  
with two additional carriers.  
The setup steps for a configuration of up to 9+1, are identical to those of the configuration of up to 4+1 (see above)  
except for the following differences:  
You must configure all six IDCs using the HyperTerminal.  
You must specify if you are using cascading mode, using the HyperTerminal  
You must specify in which IDU the protected link will be defined.  
To set the cascading mode:  
1. In the main terminal program menu, select Configuration.  
2. Select System configuration.  
3. Select Cluster configuration.  
Specify the number of sub-racks in the system. 1 for stand alone, or 2 for cascading mode.  
Specify either 1 or 2 for the sub-rack number. The protected carrier will be in sub-rack 1.

Defining IP Addresses  
Before you can configure the Intrepid-HC HP/T system, you need to define four IP addresses using the craft  
terminal.  
The Intrepid-HC HP/T includes three levels of two IP interfaces: an Ethernet interface, and a serial interface. Each  
interface has its own IP address and IP mask.  
You must configure an IP address for each of the three IDCs - a unique shelf number for each shelf in the cluster.  
In addition, you must define same base IP address for every Intrepid-HC HP/T IDC. The address is a four digit  
number separated by decimal points. Each IP address is a pair netid-hostid, where netid identifies a network, and  
hostid identifies a host on the network. The IP mask separates between the netid and hostid.  
For example, if the IP address is 192.114.35.12 (11000000 01110010 00100011 00001100), and the IP mask is  
255.255.255.0 (11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000), the netid is 192.114.35, and the hostid is 12.  
An IP interface can only communicate with hosts that are on the same net (have the same netid). In the example  
above, the interface can communicate only with hosts that have netid 192.114.35 (for 1 to 255).  
If Intrepid-HC HP/T has a frame to send to a host that is not on the Ethernet IP netid or the serial IP netid, the frame  
should be sent to an intelligent device (usually a gateway) on the network. Such a device, known as a "default  
router", will know how to send the frame over the internet. The default gateway should be a host on one of the  
Intrepid-HC HP/T interface netids.  
The Intrepid-HC HP/T cluster is managed as a single Network Element (NE) by the EMS.  
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP Installation Guide  
2-15  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The following figure illustrates an Intrepid-HC HP/T management model from an EMS/NMS point of view.  
Each IDC calculates its own IP address, considering cascade shelf# and floor#: IP = IPbase + 3*shelf #+ floor#  
where:  
IPbase is dividable by 8 (i.e. = IPbase & 0xfffffff8),  
shelf# = 0, which is the cascade master (the one with the protected carrier), or 1 for cascade slave,  
floor# = 1, 2, or 3 (the number of the floor within the Intrepid-HC HP/T shelf).  
In-band Management  
In-band management of the Intrepid-HC HP/T link chain must be configured carefully due to a large number of  
public IP address allocations. In addition, it should be noted that in-band management becomes a limiting factor for  
chain length when only the Class C DCN is used.  
The figure below illustrates the largest Class C in-band subnet (with CIDR = 26 bits, i.e. subnet mask  
255.255.255.192).  
The DCN shown in the figure makes use of the 192.168.1.64 in-band subnet. This subnet allows 62 nodes  
192.168.1.65 - 192.168.1.126, and has a broadcast address of 192.168.1.127.  
It is assumed that the Intrepid-HC HP/T at site A has a single GNE 1 assigned to one of the IDCs.  
All three IDCs at site A have direct out-of-band IP connectivity with remote management applications (NMS,  
SNMP Agent, Telnet). The remaining Intrepid-HC HP/T chain IP addresses are accessed via the GNE IDC.  
2-16  
MDS Intrepid-HC HP Installation and Operation  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Note that the Inband bytes run through the upper level of the cluster.  
The Ethernet interface of every Network Element (NE) is assigned the CIDR=/29 subnet, i.e. subnet mask  
255.255.255.248. This allows 6 elements to be communicated over the interface. These addresses can be fully  
utilized when two Intrepid-HC HP/T shelves are cascaded for 7+1 group protection.  
The figure above shows “back-to-back” connected Intrepid-HC HP/T shelves at the same sites: B, C, and D, for  
East/West chaining. Two NE IDCs (NE 2 and NE 3), at the same site, are connected over a PPPoE link.  
This scheme allows four links of up to 7+1 (eight Intrepid-HC HP/T shelves, as shown, or sixteen shelves cascaded  
in pairs) chained through the same NMS/SNMP Agent management, when IP addresses are allocated as described  
above.  
Notes:  
1. The CIDR=/29 subnet allows external element communication (such as a laptop connected to the site B LAN)  
only if there are less than six IDCs operating on two cascaded Intrepid-HC HP/T shelves. The subnet is not  
sufficient for three Intrepid-HC HP/T cascading shelves. Three cascaded shelves require CIDR=/28 nodes  
(subnet mask 255.255.255.240). This reduces the available number of chained links to 50%.

2. High protocol timing constraints (SNMP/TFTP) are expected in Intrepid-HC HP/T link chains due to the large  
number of hops (each East/West site adds two in-band routing hops), and a large number of managed IDC  
nodes.  
The following slight optimization may be useful for a chain topology (but not for a ring):  
One of the in-band NE management channels is configured as a Default GNE Direction, assuming the channel  
leads to the nearest GNE under normal conditions. Then, in-band routing chooses this channel as a first priority  
for every “in-band packet” generated internally, or received from the Ethernet interface.  
To define IP Addresses:  
1. In the main terminal program menu, select Configuration.  
2. Select System configuration.  
3. Select IDC configuration.  
4. Select IDC Basic configuration.  
5. Select IP.  
6. Define the addresses as described above: element IP and basic IP of the units.

is cleared, the +1 (Extra Traffic) modem will refer to the input from the +1 MUX.  
Revertive = None  
Each carrier MUX will receive two inputs: its own modem, and the +1 modem. The Extra Traffic channel will  
not exist. Data to the MUX (for each of the defined carriers) will be received from its own modem until the  
GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP Installation Guide

first hitless fault. When the fault is cleared, the MUX will receive data from two sources: the +1 modem, and  
its own modem, meaning the next fault in this channel will be errorless (if other carriers will fail, the data will  
be hitless).  
Revertive = Carrier#X  
MUX number X will always receive two sources: the +1, and its own, unless there is a fault in another carrier.  
If MUX number X receives two sources, and a fault occurs, the switch is errorless. In all the other cases, the  
switch is hitless.  
7. For Revertive Switch Timeout, specify the period (in seconds) after which the revertive mode will be  
activated.  
8. For High Priority Threshold, click the drop-down list and select the criteria upon which the system will  
perform a switch to the channel you chose as high priority.  
The options include: Baseband Loss of Frame, Baseband Excessive BER, Baseband Signal Degrade, and Early  
Warning  
9. In the priority table, designate the high priority channel(s). A high priority channel will be switched first when  
the criteria chosen for the threshold is met, even if a major fault occurs in a different channel.  
The Priority Level options include:  
Normal - regular operation according to the N+1 mechanism  
High Priority  
Not Protected – stand-alone channel without protection

Site Acceptance Checklist Notes  
The following notes provide important additional information about the Site Acceptance Checklist.  
1. Antenna Mounting  
Mounting pole is of sufficient height to clear local obstructions, such as parapets, window cleaning  
gantries, and lift housings.  
Mounting Pole is of sufficient height, and is safely positioned, so as not to cause a safety hazard. No  
person should be able to walk in front of, or look directly into the path of the microwave radio beam.  
Where possible, the pole should be away from the edge of the building.  
Mounting pole is secure and perpendicular. A pole that is not perpendicular may cause problems during  
antenna alignment.  
Mounting pole is grounded as per site specifications. All operators and site owners have specific  
requirements regarding the grounding of installations. As a minimum, typical requirements are such that  
any metal structure must be connected to the existing lightning protection ground of the building. Where  
it extends beyond the 45-degree cone of protection of existing lightning conductors, additional lightning  
protectors should be installed.  
All steelwork is Galvanized or Stainless Steel, as appropriate to prevent corrosion.

2. Antenna  
Antenna is grounded as per site specifications. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting section above.  
Antenna sway braces are fitted and installed correctly, where applicable. Typically, for an antenna of 1.2  
m or larger, an extra sway brace is fitted to the mounting frame of the antenna. This sway brace should  
not be mounted to the same pole as the antenna, but should be installed directly back to the tower or an  
alternative point.  
Antenna Water Drain Plugs are fitted and removed, where appropriate. Some antennas have moisture  
drain plugs installed at various points around the antenna. The purpose of these plugs is to allow any  
moisture that forms on the inside of the antenna or radome to drip out and prevent a pool within the  
antenna. Only the plugs at the bottom of the antenna, after installation, should be removed. All other  
plugs should be left in position.  
3. RFU (RF Unit)  
The RFU is grounded as per installation instructions. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting section  
above.  
The RFU Polarization is as per link requirements and matches the polarization of the antenna.  
4. Indoor Unit  
The main traffic connections are correctly terminated and crimped as per cable and connector  
manufacturer instructions. All fiber optic patch leads should be routed carefully and efficiently, using  
conduits to prevent damage to the cables.  
All other user terminations are secure and correctly terminated.  
All labeling is complete as per site requirements. Labeling is specific to each customer. At a site with  
only one installation, labeling may be unnecessary. However, at sites with multiple installations, correct  
and adequate labeling is essential for future maintenance operations.  
Typical labeling requirements include:  
Antenna labels - for link identity and bearing  
RFU labels - for link identity, frequency, and polarization  
Coax cable labels - for link identity, close to the RFU, IDU, and either end of any joint  
IDU labels - for link identity

2+0 XPIC Commissioning Procedure  
Scope  
This section describes the recommended commissioning tests for a GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP radio link in a 2+0  
XPIC Co-Channel-Dual-Polarization configuration.  
The purpose of the commissioning tests is to verify correct and proper operation of the product.  
Important! Since operation of the XPIC system depends on correct installation, make sure the guidelines for  
XPIC system installation provided below are followed correctly.  
XPIC Installation Guidelines  
Antenna and RFU Installation  
1. Install the dual polarization antenna and point it in the direction of the other site.  
2. Install the two RFUs on a dual polarization antenna using the appropriate mounting kit, and mark the  
RFUs with V and H respectively.  
IDU-RFU Cable Installation  
1. Install two cables between the RFUs and the drawers (IDMs). Note that cable length difference should not  
exceed 10 meters.  
2. Mark the cables with V and H respectively, and make sure V is connected to the right drawer and H is  
connected to the left drawer.  
3. Mark the drawers respectively.  
Antenna Alignment  
1. Power up drawer V on both ends of the link and configure it to the desired frequency channel and  
maximum power.  
2. Align the antennas, one at a time, until expected RSL is achieved. Make sure the achieved RSL is no more  
than +/-4 dB from the expected level.  
Polarization Alignment  
Polarization alignment is required to verify that the antenna feeds are adjusted, to ensure that the antenna XPD  
(Cross Polarization Discrimination) is achieved.  
Polarization adjustment should be done on one antenna only.  
3-12  
MDS Intrepid-HC HP Installation and Operation  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
1. Power up drawer V on both ends of the link and record the RSL reading on one end.  
2. Power off drawer V on that end and power on drawer H.  
3. Check the RSL obtained on this RFU on H pol, and compare it to the RSL obtained by the RFU installed  
on the V pol.  
4. Verify that XPI (Cross Polarization Interference) is at least 25 dB  
where:  
XPI = RSLPOL RSLXPOL  
RSLPOL Link RSL with the same polarization used at both sites.  
RSLXPOL Link RSL with orthogonal polarizations used at both sites.  
5. If XPI is less than 25 dB, adjust the feed polarization by opening the polarization screw and gently rotating  
the feed to minimize the RSLXPOL  
.
Note that polarization alignment is not always possible since the RSLXPOL may fall below the sensitivity  
threshold of the RFU.  
It is also recommended to try to maximize the XPI as much as possible, by aligning the polarization.  
XPIC Commissioning Tests  
Individual Link Verification  
Before operating in XPIC configuration, each of the links (V and H) should be commissioned individually in  
order to verify its proper operation.

Verify that the RSL at all four RFUs is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.  
Verify that no alarms exist (if a 155 Mbps line is connected).  
Run BER stability test on each of the 155 Mbps links for at least 1 hour to ensure error-free  
operation.  
Note: In a 2+2 configuration, repeat each step above for each of the four coupled RFU combinations.

Disconnect the XPIC cable and check that the relevant alarms are generated.  
Power down each of the drawers and verify that the other link is operating.  
Swap the V and H cables and check that the relevant alarm is generated.  
Mute and then un-mute one RFU at a time and verify that the other link is operating.  
Note: In a 2+2 configuration, repeat each step above for each of the four coupled RFUs connected to the two  
standby IDUs.  
2+2 Verification  
Perform the tests specified in Switching Tests in the 1+1 Commissioning Procedure section earlier in this guide.  
In this case, the switch will be from a main IDU connected to the main V and main H RFUs, to the secondary  
IDU connected to the coupled V and coupled H RFUs.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY...  
GE MDS products are designed for long life and trouble-free operation. However, this equipment, as with  
all electronic equipment, may have an occasional component failure. The following information will assist  
you in the event that servicing becomes necessary.  
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE  
Technical assistance for GE MDS products is available from our Technical Support Department during  
business hours (8:00 A.M.—5:30 P.M. Eastern Time). When calling, please give the complete model number  
of the radio, along with a description of the trouble/symptom(s) that you are experiencing. In many cases,  
problems can be resolved over the telephone, without the need for returning the unit to the factory. Please  
use one of the following means for product assistance:  
Phone: 585 241-5510  
FAX: 585 242-8369  
Web: www.GEmds.com  
FACTORY SERVICE  
Component level repair of this equipment is not recommended in the field. Many components are installed  
using surface mount technology, which requires specialized training and equipment for proper servicing.  
For this reason, the equipment should be returned to the factory for any PC board repairs. The factory is best  
equipped to diagnose, repair and align your radio to its proper operating specifications.  
If return of the equipment is necessary, you must obtain a Service Request Order (SRO) number. This  
number helps expedite the repair so that the equipment can be repaired and returned to you as quickly as  
possible. Please be sure to include the SRO number on the outside of the shipping box, and on any corre-  
spondence relating to the repair. No equipment will be accepted for repair without an SRO number.  
SRO numbers are issued online at www.GEmds.com/support/product/sro/. Your number will be issued  
immediately after the required information is entered. Please be sure to have the model number(s), serial  
number(s), detailed reason for return, "ship to" address, "bill to" address, and contact name, phone number,  
and fax number available when requesting an SRO number. A purchase order number or pre-payment will  
be required for any units that are out of warranty, or for product conversion.  
If you prefer, you may contact our Product Services department to obtain an SRO number:  
Phone Number: 585-241-5540  
Fax Number: 585-242-8400  
E-mail Address: [email protected]  
The radio must be properly packed for return to the factory. The original shipping container and packaging  
materials should be used whenever possible. All factory returns should be addressed to:  
GE MDS, LLC  
Product Services Department  
(SRO No. XXXX)  
175 Science Parkway  
Rochester, NY 14620 USA  
When repairs have been completed, the equipment will be returned to you by the same shipping method  
used to send it to the factory. Please specify if you wish to make different shipping arrangements. To inquire  
about an in-process repair, you may contact our Product Services Group using the telephone, Fax, or E-mail  
information given above.
