4-1The information contained in this section is a summary of the section with the same title, but not the same section number, on the enclosed CD. “Refer to Cd” is used throughout this section to refer the reader to the detail information on the CD. Go to this section on the CD for inter-active links to the detail information referred to in this section.4INITIAL TURNUP4.1 SECTION INTRODUCTIONThis section describes the procedures required to turn up the MDR-8000 Microwave Digital Radios after installation.This provisioning part of the section describes provisioning options available with the MDR-8000 software application. Provisioning allows for the definition, editing, and storing of specific functions. The MDR-8000 provides the ability to provision equipment and facili-ties through a series of Windows™-based screens and messages. The Provisioning menu lists equipment and functions which may be provisioned. You should use only those provi-sioning screens that are applicable to your radio.4.2 RECOMMENDED SEQUENCEPerform the following initial turnup procedures in sequence:A. Install software on PC.Software installed at the factory before delivery should not be overwrit-ten by downloading to the radio controller at initial turnup. Refer to Maintenance section on the attached CD for procedure to upgrade exist-ing software.B. Turn on the radio.C. Establish communication between radio and USI computer.Saving provisioning on disk provides a reference for any future provi-sioning changes.D. Provision radio.NoteNoteNote
4-24.3 SECURITY MANAGEMENTA password is not required to operate the MDR-8000. The radio is shipped without a password and if a password is desired, it must be entered using the Change Password screen. Once entered initially, the password must be entered each time the user wants to access the provi-sioning screens (level 1 password required) or download software (level 2 password required).The MDR-8000 application software offers user password security management using two different levels of passwords. User security deals with access level assigned to specific users. The level of user security affects the type and number of commands an individual user may execute. This prevents an unqualified user’s access to high-level commands.Level 1 password allows the user to perform all tasks except downloading software. Level 2 password allows access to all functions and is the highest level.4.4 LOAD MDR-8000 SOFTWARE ON PCBefore operating the user system interface (USI) for the first time, the programs contained on the CD ROM must be installed on the PC. The installation process configures the PC for its unique requirements and prepares it to run the program.A. Insert CD ROM disk into PC.B. On Windows desktop, double click on My Computer icon. My Computer window displays.C. In My Computer window, click on CD ROM icon. Files window displaysD. See Figure 4 - 1. Follow directions and load USI software on PC.Note

4-44.5 TURN-ON PROCEDUREFor user safety, user should become familiar with locations of power distribution units and circuit breakers associated with the MDR-8000 radio.Perform the following procedure to turn on the radio.A. On power supply module, set PA ON/OFF switch to OFF. Yellow PA OFF indicator will light.B. On power supply module, set POWER ON 1/OFF 0 switch to ON 1.C. On power supply module, set PA ON/OFF switch to ON. Yellow PA OFF indicator will turn off.Until both the local and farend radios in the hop are turned on and operating properly and the RF path has been established, alarm condi-tions will exist.D. Observe CHAN ALM indicator on RCVR module is lit.E. Wait for RCVR to lock on frequency. When RCVR is locked on frequency (approximately 5 to 30 seconds), CHAN ALM indicator on RCVR module will turn off.F. Verify all front panel alarm indicators on radio shelf are off. If not, refer to Maintenance section for troubleshooting.4.6 ESTABLISH COM PORTEstablish communication between the USI computer and the controller in the radio.Disable infrared option on laptop (if equipped) to prevent disrupting communication on com port.A. Connect RS-232 interface cable between USI connector on controller and PC. See Figure 4 - 2.B. On Windows desktop, click on Start icon. Program menu displays.Only one COM port can be used at a time.NoteNoteNoteNote

SELECTING OFF TURNS OFF LOCAL DATA INSERT AND TURNS OFF LINE INPUT ALARM REPORTING ON THE SELECTED CHANNEL. SELECTING NM INSERTS AN AIS SIGNAL AND TURNS OFF LINE INPUT ALARMS ON THE SELECTED CHANNEL. • ALWAYS SELECT ON WHEN LOCAL DATA IS INSERTED. • ALWAYS SELECT OFF AT EITHER A TERMINAL OR A NON-PROTECTED REPEATER WHEN LOCAL DATA IS NOT INSERTED. • ONLY SELECT NM ON UNUSED CHANNELS AT PROTECTED REPEATERS. UNUSED CHANNELS ARE DEFINED AS CHANNELS THAT HAVE NEITHER LOCALLY INSERTED DATA NOR PASS-THRU DATA ACROSS THE REPEATER CABLE. SELECT OFF IF LOCAL DATA IS NOT INSERTED AND THE CHANNEL HAS PASS-THRU DATA ACROSS THE REPEATER CABLE (NOTE: SELECTING NM IN THIS CASE WILL CAUSE THE DATA FROM THE REPEATER TO BE OVERWRITTEN WITH AN AIS SIGNAL PRIOR TO TRANSMISSION). USING THE REPEATER CABLE TO PASS DS1 DATA ON CHANNELS 5-16 IS NOT RECOMMENDED ON MDR-8000 RADIOS. PASSING THE DATA THROUGH ON THESE CHANNELS WILL PREVENT INDEPENDENT SWITCHING BETWEEN THE DS1 I/O AND THE RADIO TRANSMITTERS. THE DATA SHOULD BE DROPPED AND REINSERTED AT EACH REPEATER NODE. NoteThe term "LINE" is used to describe an input/output signal at DS1/E1 rate (1.544 MB/S 2.043 MB/S). The term "CHANNEL" is used to describe a multiplexed signal, at a higher rate than DS1/E1. The inserted channel is output of multiplexer circuit. The dropped channel is input to demultiplexer circuit. The multiplexer and demultiplexer circuits are located on I/O interface module.NoteIf installation at both ends of a hop are complete except for connecting to customer inputs/outputs and it is desirable to have an alarm-free system, alarm reporting on the incomplete connections can be disabled temporarily through provisioning. You can communicate over the hop even if you do not have the radio connected to customer DS1 inputs; however, you will alarm unless you select OFF to disable INSERT CHANNEL (located on the USI DS1 Facilities screen) for all equipped lines. Disabling the DS1 insert function disables both the lines and alarm reporting for the lines. After all customer connections are complete, alarm reporting can be restored to normal. To restore alarm reporting to normal, set INSERT CHANNEL on DS1 Facilities screen to ON.

4-304.9.1 Auto-NegotiationMDR-8000E auto-negotiation is not a stand-alone function, and proper operation and use of all available functions depends on the capabilities of the external customer equipment that is connected to the radio. Just because an autonegotiation function is checked for pro-visioning does not automatically mean that function is fully operable. The device on the other end of the cable must also have the capability and be provisioned with a matching function.4.9.1.1 Auto-NegotiateAuto-Negotiate details are beyond the scope of this supplement. The rule of thumb to fol-low when unsure of what functions to check or change from factory default provisioning is leave at default (all autonegotiation functions are checked). Full autonegotiation capability is becoming standard for manufacturers of Ethernet devices.4.9.1.2 Allow 10, 100, and/or 1000 Mb Half and Full DuplexIf in doubt as to the link speed and mode of the external device connecting Ethernet to the radio, check all boxes for speeds and modes. If you know the external Ethernet device has speed and/or mode limitations, check only the boxes that apply.Auto-Negotiate is automatically enabled when Allow 1000 Mb Full Duplex is enabled. Auto-Negotiate must be enabled (checked) when more than one link speed is selected.4.9.1.3 Input/Output Flow Control FeaturesChecking the box next to Input/Output Flow Control enables input and output pause func-tions and the forward errored or large frame function. These flow control functions are described in the following paragraphs.4.9.1.3.1 Input Pause FeatureSee Figure 4 - 16. This feature makes the auto-negotiation function willing to stop receiving traffic. When the radio input buffers approach overflow, the function sends a pause mes-sage to the link partner that is transmitting data to the radio, telling the device to tempo-rarily stop sending data. The link partner will stop sending data if the device has and is provisioned with the Allow Option Pause function.If the link partner is either not equipped with or is not provisioned for input pause, data overflowing the registers in the radio will be lost, regardless of the provisioning for input pause in the radio. Any time there is an overflow, the radio will alarm and indicate Dropped Frames on the Performance Monitor screens.4.9.1.3.2 Pause FeatureThis feature auto-negotiation function willing to stop sending traffic. When the input buff-ers on the link partner approach overflow, the link partner sends a pause message to the radio telling the radio to temporarily stop sending data. If the Input/Output Flow Control function is checked, the radio will stop sending out data.
4-314.9.1.4 Input Pause FeatureSee Figure 4 - 16. Checking the box next to Allow Input Pause makes the auto-negotiation function willing to stop receiving traffic. When the radio input buffers approach overflow, the function sends a pause message to the ink partner that is transmitting data to the radio, telling the device to temporarily stop sending data. The link partner will stop send-ing data if the device has and is provisioned with the Allow Option Pause function.If the link partner is either not equipped with or is not provisioned for input pause, data overflowing the registers in the radio will be lost, regardless of the provisioning for input pause in the radio. Any time there is an overflow, the radio will alarm and indicate Dropped Frames on the Performance Monitor screens.Figure 4 - 16 Input/Output Pause MessagingMDR-8000EEthernetRadioLinkPartnerBufferBuffer Near FullData FlowMDR-111302/14/04Pause MsgTXRXAllow RX Pause MessageMDR-8000EEthernetRadioLinkPartnerBufferBuffer Near FullPause MsgData FlowTXRXAllow RX Pause Message
4-324.9.1.5 Allow Output PauseChecking the box next to Allow Output Pause makes the radio auto-negotiation function willing to stop sending traffic. When the input buffers on the link partner approach over-flow, the link partner sends a pause message to the radio, telling the radio to temporarily stop sending data. If the Allow Output Pause function is checked, the radio will stop send-ing out data.4.10 PROVISION DS1 FACILITYSee Figure 4 - 17 to provision the DS1 lines (if equipped).Figure 4 - 17 Ethernet Radio DS1 Facilities ProvisioningSelect All123 123DS1 LINESFRAME FORMATFRAME FORMATESFLINE CODINGLINE CODINGB8ZSLINE LENGTHLINE LENGTH0-133ESFB8ZS0-1ESFB8ZS0-133ESFB8ZS0-133ESFB8ZS0-133ESFB8ZSB8ZSESF0-1330-133Eth-103508/15/05Select distance in ft.to crossconnect:0-133133-266266-399399-533533-655Select AMI or B8ZS coding for Wayside DS1 line to match coding on DS1 input.Select Super Frame (SF) or Extended Super Frame (ESF) framing format, Clear Channel (no frame format), or Disable.

Go to this section on the CD for inter-active links to the detail information referred to in this section.5MAINTENANCE5.1 INTRODUCTIONThis section contains information and procedures to aid in restoring the equipment to its proper operating condition after it has been determined that a problem exists.The following warnings and cautions apply while operating, performance testing, trouble-shooting, or repairing the MDR-8000 series radios.Short circuits in low-voltage, low-impedance dc circuits can cause severe arcing that may result in burns or eye injury. Remove rings, watches, and other metal jewelry while working with primary circuits. Exercise caution to avoid shorting power input terminals.XMTR Crystals should never be shipped as replacements without being soldered and tuned up in an oscillator assembly board at the factory.Units with the electrostatic-sensitive (ESS) symbol contain ESS devices. Store these units in an antistatic container when not in use, and anyone handling a unit should observe antistatic precautions. Refer to the Special Precautions pages in the front of the instruction book for detailed handling information.NoteDANGERPossibility ofInjuryto PersonnelCAUTIONPossibility ofServiceInterruptionCAUTIONPossibility ofServiceInterruption
5-2RF flex coaxial cable requires special consideration. The electrical char-acteristics of the coax can be affected if it is accidentally twisted or bent. Provide mechanical support to prevent any weight or strain to the coax and connector when connecting or disconnecting equipment. Loosen the connectors at both ends of a coax section if one end must be moved even slightly. SMA connectors should be secured in place fingertight, and then gently tightened using a torque wrench with a 5/16 in. head set for 7 to 9 inch-pounds. The connectors should not be left fingertight.Ensure that all antennas are properly aligned and waveguide is in good physical condition.Before performing procedures that might in any way affect transmis-sion, it is recommended that the person performing the procedure understand the FCC Rules and Regulations pertaining to the equip-ment and be properly authorized to operate the equipment. 5.2 MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHYThis section provides information and procedures for equipment maintenance down to the module level. Module repair is not covered in this manual. A replacement procedure for the crystal oscillator subboard on the transmitter and receiver modules is provided to enable future use of the local oscillator at a different frequency in another application or at another location. Use the drawings in the appendix and those in the station drawing pack-age to support the procedures in this sectionThe use of maintenance procedures in this section may result from failure of a periodic check, an alarm indication, or unacceptable performance. These problems should normally be resolved as shown in the maintenance philosophy flow chart (Figure 5 - 1).CAUTIONPossibility ofServiceInterruptionNoteNote

Verify all indicators light.Keeping records of errors and alarm history can be an aid to system troubleshooting.The local status alarms screen displays the alarms of the radio to which the USI is connected, either physically or addressed via the ELMC.3Using the USI computer, check local alarms on the Local Status Alarms screen.NoteNote
5-85.8 RECOMMENDED PERIODIC CHECKSPerform XMTR local oscillator frequency verification (Para. 5.18) and XMTR output check (Para. 5.19) 1 year after initial setting and at 5-year intervals thereafter to correct possible drift caused by aging.5.9 RADIO TROUBLESHOOTINGThe digital radio system is equipped with alarm circuitry and automatic switching (in hot-standby, frequency diversity, and space diversity configurations) to provide protection against loss of traffic. This automatic switching, coupled with adaptive equalization of mul-tipath distortion, provides protection against equipment outage and propagation varia-tions. Because of the finite life of electronic equipment, failures occur. 5.9.1 Troubleshooting USI AlarmsFirst alert for an alarm is normally the USI Status Alarm Screen. See Figure 5 - 3 through Figure 5 - 12 for detailed alarm information and troubleshooting guidelines. After isolating the fault to the most probable cause, replace module or repair as directed.5.9.2 Troubleshooting RCVR Lockup ProblemsThe radio is operational when the RCVR is locked onto the associated farend XMTR fre-quency. Normally lockup occurs within minutes after power is applied. Successful lockup is indicated by not having the channel alarm (Chan Alm) lit on the RCVR front panel.5.9.2.1 Slow Lockup At Initial TurnupSlow lockup at initial turnup is defined as lockup occurring five minutes or more after pow-erup. If the radio is non-standby/no space diversity (one RCVR in A side), replace the RCVR. If radio is non-standby space diversity or hot-standby (two RCVRs, A and B sides) problem is probably the XMTR at the farend of the hop. The most common cause of slow lockup is incorrect carrier null. First try switching XMTRs. If this clears the problem, per-form carrier null (Para. 5.20) and XMTR/PA output level calibration procedure (Para. 5.21) on the off-line XMTR. If the problem is not cleared, replace the XMTR.5.9.2.2 Slow Lockup During Normal OperationSlow lockup after a bad fade or other temporary interruption is defined as lockup occurring less than a second after RSL is restored. Troubleshooting this type of slow lockup requires knowing what the RSL is. Check RSL using the procedure in Appendix G on attached CD.If the RSL is at least 4 to 5 dB above RCV threshold, the two most probable causes are carrier leakage and the RCVR local oscillator. Perform carrier null test (Para. 5.20) on the farend XMTR. If slow lockup continues, remove and replace the RCVR crystal oscillator subboard. If the RSL is below or 1 to 3 dB above RCVR threshold, wait until RSL improves to at least 4 to 5 dB above RCVR threshold before starting troubleshooting.
5-95.9.3 Troubleshooting Performance Screen ErrorsPath and intermod problems can occur that cause errors to be indicated on the Perfor-mance monitor screens that are not severe enough to generate an alarm on the USI Alarm and Status screen. Errors of this type fall into two categories: burst and dribbling errors. The performance screens can be a useful tool in troubleshooting a radio with and without alarms being indicated on the Status Alarm screen.5.9.3.1 Troubleshooting Burst ErrorsBurst errors are defined as multiple errors in a very short time. Burst errors can be caused by many things, including loose connections on cable or waveguide at either end of the hop. An aging oscillator can cause burst type errors. Burst errors can be identified by a high number of Errors and low number of Error Seconds on the Performance screens. The most probable cause of burst errors is a loose connection. Check/repair all shelf and exter-nal cables and check all waveguide connections The next most probable cause is the crystal on the crystal oscillator subboard at either end of the hop.If the radio has both A and B XMTRS and RCVRS and both A and B are indicating burst errors, the fault is at the XMT end of the hop. If only A is equipped and indicates burst errors, remove and replace the crystal oscillator subboard on the on-line RCVR.5.9.3.2 Troubleshooting Dribbling ErrorsDribbling errors are defined as small number of errors over long period of time (no frame errors). Dribbling errors can be caused by a path problem, such as interference or fading, or by a hardware problem such as a XMTR or PA that is being over driven, or high phase noise in the XMTR or RCVR oscillator. Dribbling errors can be identified by observing the Radio CRC Errors (DS1), Radio Errors (DS3), Receiver Errors (OC3), or RF Receiver Errors (ETH) fields on the radio Performance screen. Typically, less than five Errors to one Error Second identifies the fault as dribbling errors. Try isolating the transmitter by switching transmitters in a protected system. You can further isolate a transmitter by changing output levels using ATPC and or dropping the output power out of the XMTR to the PA by one or two dB. The DS1 radio performance screen has a Repeater CRC Error Sec field that indicates errors over the repeater cable.Two troubleshooting tips: 1) errors are displayed on the USI at the receive end in which they are detected, and 2) these specific type of radio errors are not propagated down the path.

If the RCVR alarms clear during the 5-second CLA window following the I/O switch, the CLA will activate at the XMT end.1. If RSL is ok, look for a digital signal problem at the farend XMTR: a. Check XMTR capacity key. b. Remove/replace XMTR. c. Remove/replace I/O Interface.2. If RSL is low, there will be a RCVR RSL alarm along with any others: a. Check for prolonged fade. Use USI RSL screen and check history. Worst fading times are early in the morning and late in the evening. b. Look for equipment failure at XMT end: Check for bad XMTR/PA. Verify correct output power out of XMTR/PA. Is output power correct? Yes, check for bad cable or RF switch at the XMT end. No, remove and replace XMTR, PA, I/O Interface, in that order.CLA can be caused by many things. Troubleshooting is RSL dependent. Problems that can cause a CLA follow.1. Path problems, such as fading, refraction, interference2. Frequency problems due to aging or bad crystal oscillator3. Bad capacity key on XMTR4. Bad RF cable5. Bad RF switch6. Bad I/O InterfaceIf RSL is normal, look for a digital signal problem at the XMT end. The RCV end will probably have Eye Closure and Frame Loss alarms, but not an RSL alarm. Since the RCVRs are receiving a strong signal (but not a good signal) from the farend XMTR, the RCVRs will probably be locked on frequency.Is RSL above or below alarm threshold? Above, go to 1. Below, go to 2.Clearing the RCVR problem does not automatically clear the CLA at the XMT end. The CLA can be cleared using the ACO switch on the controller module or by rolling the mouse over RF Common Loss on the screen and double clicking.Since this is a silent alarm at the XMT end, no other alarm should show up at the XMTR.Both RCVRs at the other end have a problem and have switched the XMTRs to try and clear it. If the RCVRs clear within a defined time frame (which we will hereafter call the CLA window) after switching, the CLA appears. if the RCVRs clear by switching or any other way outside of the CLA window, the CLA does not activate, but switching continues.If RSL is above alarm threshold, the first XMT switch occurs 5 seconds after the problem at the RCVRs is detected. The 5 seconds following the first XMT switch is the "CLA window". If the RCVR alarms clear during the 5-second CLA window, the CLA will activate at the XMT end.Since the RSL at the RCVRs is ok, equipment failure at the farend XMTR is the most probable cause of the RCVRs failing.If RSL is below alarm threshold, the first XMTR switch occurs 30 seconds after the problem at the RCVRs is detected. The CLA window is the first 5 seconds of the second 30 seconds. If the RCVR alarms clear during the 5-second CLA window, the CLA will activate at the XMT end.Switching times vary, depending on RSL.MDR-109212/06/07

Channel Fail is the most severe, followed by Radio Frame Loss and Eye Closure.The Eye Closure alarm, Radio Frame Loss alarm, and Channel Fail alarm all work together to form effective 3-level troubleshooting tools. If the radio is provsioned correctly, Eye Closure (the first level) should be the first indication that there is a steady stream of errors (more than dribbling errors) being detected by the RCV circuit in the I/O Interface module. The second level is the Radio Frame Loss alarm. This alarm indicates that the errors have increased to the point that complete frames are being lost. The third level, the Channel Fail alarm, is the most severe level. This alarm indicates that the RCVR can no longer lock on the farend XMTR. Even worse, the overhead with command path and Service Channel is lost, inhibiting communication with the farend, making troubleshooting more difficult.MDR-108105/20/05
5-14Figure 5 - 6 Troubleshooting Radio RCV Alarms (Sheet 2 of 5)ASTATUSReceiver FaultReceiver On LineChannel FailRadio DadeEye ClosureLow RSLPath DistortionRadio Frame LossRECEIVERMDR-108411/29/04A Channel Fail alarm occurs when RCVR(s) have lost lock and are not locked on the signal from the farend XMTR(s). Loss of signal also means loss of CMD path. The most effective method of troubleshooting this type alarm is to have a technician at both ends of the hop. Farend status viewing and controls must be performed at the farend site. This alarm can be caused by a failure at the farend XMTR, RF path/antenna/waveguide problems, or a failure in the local RCVR or I/O Interface.Start by isolating the fault to one end of the hop or the RF path/antenna/waveguide. If the farend XMTR is protected, switch XMTRs and see if alarms at the RCVR end clear. If so, the problem is at the XMT end and the path and RCV end are ok. If the RCVR alarms do not clear (and/or the XMTR is not protected) proceed as follows:1. Observe RX (RSL 1) dbm on the analog monitor screen and compare the RSL level with the TYPICAL RCVR THRESHOLD (DBM) BER = 10-6, for the type and capacity of radio, listed on Tabe 1-3, Physical, Environmental, and Electrical Characteristics, in the General section of this instruction book. If the RSL is too low (below the RCVR threshold), the RCVR will not lock to the farend XMTR. The problem is in the farend XMTR, is an RF path problem, or is a farend or local antenna/waveguide problem.2. Troubleshoot farend XMTR. If the RSL is above the listed threshold, troubleshoot the local RCVR. Start by isolating the fault to the RCVR module or I/O Interface module. a. Observe RX (AFC MON) voltage on the analog monitor screen. This is the correction voltage for the crystal oscillator. The voltage should be -3.0 ±0.5 Vdc, indicating that the crystal oscillator is on center frequency. If not, remove and replace crystal oscillator subboard on RCVR. If the RX (AFC MON) voltage is correct, the failure could still be the RCVR or the RCVR circuits in the I/O Interface module. The most probable cause is the RCVR. b. Remove and replace RCVR. The crystal oscillator subboard and capacity key must be removed from the suspected RCVR and installed on the spare RCVR.

This alarm could be caused by a faulty XMTR (farend), radio interference on the RF path (RFI), antenna/waveguide problem, or a faulty antenna/waveguide problem, or a faulty RCVR/RCVR local oscillator failure. Troubleshooting is configuration dependent.1. Check for Eye Closure alarms on both A and B RCVRs. Are there Eye Closure alarms on both A and B RCVRs? Yes, go to 2. No, only A or B has an Eye Closure alarm. The failure is on the RCVR end. Go to 3.2. The problem is in the farend XMTR, is an RF path problem, or is a farend or local antenna/waveguide problem. Start by isolating the fault to one end of the hop or the RF path/antenna/waveguide. a. Check farend for XMTR alarms. Troubleshoot and clear alarms (if any) at far end as required. Go to b. b. Check farend radio XMTR configuration as follows: Hot-standby XMTRs? Go to c. Frequency diversity? Go to 4. Space diversity? Troubleshoot farend XMTR. c. If the farend XMTR is hot-standby, switch XMTRs and see if alarms at the RCVR end clear. Do RCVR alarms clear? Yes, the problem is at the XMT end and the path and RCV end are ok. Replace farend off-line XMTR. No, the problem is a path problem or a problem at the RCVR. Go to d to isolate the path. d. The problem may be RF interference (RFI) on the path. While observing the RSL on the RCV end Analog screen, disable the farend XMTRs. Does RSL drop at least 25 dB? No, there is high RFI on the path. Eliminate the RFI source. Yes, RSL drops 25 dB or more. The problem is a path problem, such as an obstruction in the path, or a problem with the antenna or waveguide, or is a RCVR problem. Go to 3.3. Isolate failure to RCVR crystal oscillator subboard or the RCVR module as follows: a. At RCV end, observe RX (AFC MON) voltage on the analog monitor screen. This is the correction voltage for the crystal oscillator. The voltage should be -3.0 ±0.5 Vdc, indicating that the crystal oscillator is on center frequency. If not, remove and replace crystal oscil lator subboard on RCVR. If the RX (AFC MON) voltage is correct, replace RCVR module. Do RCVR alarms clear? Yes, stop. Procedure is complete. No, go to 4.4. Problem is in path (not RFI) or antenna/waveguide. Sweep waveguide at both ends of hop. Repair or replace as required.

5-27Table 5 - 5 TMN Network Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Possible SolutionUnusually slow communi-cation in radio network 1. Normal network management traffic is saturating the communi-cations channel.1. There may be too many radios being managed within a single region. Split the radio network management into different regions and backhaul the traffic for each region through sepa-rate channels.2. Polling radios for PM data or missed alarms too rapidly 2. Poll the radios more slowly.3. Multiple remote software down-loads in process 3. Download to fewer radios at a time.4. IP traffic other than network management traffic being routed through radio network4 Configure external routers to allow only network management related traffic through the Man-agement network of the radios. Dynamic route updates (OSPF, RIP) may attempt to reroute high speed traffic through the TMN network if a high speed ink fails.Unable to operate con-trols using SNMP To perform control operations, the Manager must be registered as a craft device.Register the Manager as a craft device. Manager registration type can be changed as needed to type ‘ct’ to allow control operation and then be changed back to ‘nml’ for normal operation.Can Read SNMP objects but cannot Write to SNMP objects1. Incorrect community string 1. Use the correct community string.2. Insufficient SNMPv3 privileges 2. Use the correct privileges:a) The TMN Interface supports 4 view levels. Use a SNMPv3 user account that supports write access to the selected SNMP object.b) Use the correct Authentication mode.c) Use the correct Privacy pass-phrase.3. If the TMN Interface is config-ured for SNMPv2, the write community string is probably wrong.3 Use the correct write community string.
5-28No traps being received from NE 1. Manager not registered in NE to receive traps 1. Register Manager with NE.2. Communication failure in net-work 2. Check network connectivity. Check redundant network paths and routing. Traceroute (tracert) is useful for locating path or rout-ing faults.Unable to communicate with the NE through the radio network (unable to ‘ping’ the NE)Possible communication path failure or routing failure within the radio networkUse traceroute (tracert) to help locate for communication path or routing problems.Can ‘ping’ the TMN Inter-face but cannot communi-cate with the NE using SNMP, or can only see a few SNMP objects (mib-2) in the NE.1. Using incorrect SNMP version at manager 1. Note the TMN card ships in SNMPv3 mode. If SNMPv2 operation is desired, it must be provisioned for SNMPv2 using the TUI.2. If using SNMPv2, using the wrong community string. If using SNMPv3 using wrong user-name/passphrase pair2. Verify community string or user-name/passphrase.3. A corrupt SNMPv3 security con-figuration file may have caused the module to revert to the previ-ous copy of the security configu-ration or to factory defaults.3. Check to see if another user-name/passphrase combination works. Check to see if the previ-ous passphrase works. Check the Default username/pass-phrase combination. It may be necessary to re-initialize the security configuration using the TUI. Reprovision accounts as required, and after the changes have been committed, force a reboot to copy the new security configuration into the backup configuration.Table 5 - 5 TMN Network Troubleshooting (Cont.)

5-295.12 MODULE REPLACEMENTModules screwed to heat sink must be screwed securely before power is turned on.Units with the electrostatic-sensitive (ESS) symbol contain ESS devices. Store these units in an antistatic container when not in use, and anyone handling a unit should observe antistatic precautions. Damage to the unit may result if antistatic pro-tection is not maintained. Refer to the Special Precautions pages in the front of the instruction book for detailed han-dling information.RF flex coaxial cable requires special consideration. The elec-trical characteristics of the coax can be affected if it is acci-dentally twisted or bent. Provide mechanical support to prevent any weight or strain to the coax and connector when connecting or disconnecting equipment. Loosen the connectors at both ends of a coax section if one end must be moved even slightly. SMA connectors should be secured fin-gertight, and then gently tightened using a torque wrench with a 5/16 in. head set for 7 to 9 inch-pounds.

5-30XMTR Crystals are soldered and tuned up in an oscillator assembly board at the factory.Modules may be removed or installed with shelf power applied. However, exercise reasonable care to prevent contact-ing adjacent modules. If clearances are narrow, consider set-ting the power supply to OFF while the module is being removed or replaced. (Before setting any switch to OFF, verify that traffic has been protected.) Before replacing any module, refer to Table 5 - 6 to determine the actions, other than phys-ical replacement, required. If the module has any options (switches, subboards, etc.), refer to the removed module so that the replacement module can be set up the same way.Any module installed in the card cage, except those having front-panel cable connections, can be removed by grasping the module handle(s) and pulling firmly outward. Modules with front-panel interconnects can be removed in the same manner after disconnecting the cable from the module being removed and moving the cable out of the way.To install a module in the card cage, insert the module card connector edge into the appro-priate card slot. Engage module handles in card cage and press on module handles until they are latched and the card is fully seated. After installing a module with front-panel interconnections, reconnect the cable(s) to the front-panel connector(s).CAUTIONPossibility ofServiceInterruptionCAUTIONPossibility ofServiceInterruption

5-485.20 IN-SERVICE XMTR CARRIER NULL ADJUSTMENT USING SPECTRUM ANALYZERSee the following figures and follow the procedure to adjust carrier null on the UD-35A() Transmitter, in service. For out-of-service carrier null procedures, refer to CD.Carrier leakage can be nulled in the MDR-8000 using any one of three methods. Method 1 (the preferred method) uses a spectrum analyzer to determine if carrier leakage is present while a modulated signal is being transmitted (in service) and then nulling any carrier present. Methods 2 and 3 require that modulation be removed and the carrier is nulled while the transmitter is out of service. Method 2 uses a DVM to measure carrier leakage. Method 3 uses a spectrum analyzer.Using the spectrum analyzer Span controls, reduce the frequency span until the Resolution Bandwidth (Res BW) reaches the value defined as the Res BW for measuring carrier. At this Res BW, observe the spectrum trace for a carrier signal. If a carrier signal, rising above the spectrum floor, 3 dB or more is visible, use the procedure to null the carrier. If no carrier is visible, the carrier is sufficiently nulled.Ensure that the radio, and specifically the transmitter unit, is allowed to warm up for at least one hour operating in the radio before performing carrier null adjustments.NoteCAUTIONPossibility ofServiceInterruption
5-49cCarefully adjust the spectrum analyzer to center the transmitter spectrum.As the spectrum analyzer’s frequency span is reduced and the flat top of the spectrum fills the spectrum analyzer display, it is extremely impor-tant to keep the spectrum display (with carrier signal if any) centered so that the carrier signal (if any) will remain visible as the span is reduced.b.

5-51Adjustment of the carrier signal for minimum amplitude is critical. Do not attempt to null the carrier signal until the correct Res BW is reached. Incorrect adjustment can result in loss of traffic due to slow RCVR lock.gObserve the display at the correct Res BW for measuring carrier for a carrier signal rising above the floor of the spectrum. Is a carrier signal rising 3 dB or more above the spectrum visible?No. STOP. This procedure is complete. Carrier is nulled to an acceptable level.Yes.1) Continue to reduce the frequency span until the spectrum analyzer shows a Res BW equal to or lower than the Res BW For Nulling Carrier value shown in the table.2) Alternately adjust the I Carr and Q Carr controls on the XMTR module for minimum carrier amplitude. Refer to the following typical scenario for adjustment tips/prob-lems.TYPICAL ADJUSTMENT SCENARIORefer to the following step-by-step adjustment of 3 DS3/64 QAM radio. In this scenario, carrier null adjustment is required due to slow RCVR lockup following a deep fade. The Res BW for nulling carrier for the 3 DS3/64 QAM radio is 3 kHz as listed in the table.CAUTIONPossibility ofServiceInterruption

You must alternate between controls until carrier null is obtained. The direction to turn the controls is not defined. If for example, the carrier level is dropping as you are turning the I CARR control counterclockwise, continue to turn counterclockwise until the carrier level on the trace stops dropping and then starts to go up. Then turn the Q CARR control counterclockwise or clockwise until downward movement is seen on the trace and continue to turn in that direction.

5-725.26 CHANGING FREQUENCYCrystals are soldered and tuned up in a crystal oscillator sub-board at the factory.Changing frequencies requires changing the crystal on the crystal oscillator subboard in the transmitter and receiver modules. Changing out the crystal requires tuning the crystal oscillator subboard. Tuning the crystal oscillator subboard is a factory procedure. An RF frequency change may require re-tuning the diplexer. Re-tuning the diplexer is a factory procedure. 5.27 CLEANINGDo not use acid, alcohol, or brushes to clean modules because damage to the silkscreen labeling and antistatic coating can result. Cleaning should be confined to the removal of dust and dirt using a damp cloth.Cleaning should normally be confined to the removal of dust and dirt using a soft bristled (natural fiber) brush and a low velocity blower (such as a vacuum cleaner with a plastic blower nozzle). Do not use acid or synthetic bristled brushes to clean modules that contain electrostatic-sensitive components.CAUTIONPossibility ofServiceInterruptionCAUTIONPossibility ofServiceInterruption
