GENERAL 1-1
NWD-118791-02E iPASOLINK 1000: MAINTENANCE
1. GENERAL
This section provides information regarding the routine and corrective maintenance
for the iPASOLINK of the 6 to 38 GHz PDH/SDH digital radio system.
The information includes the following with their instructions and procedures:
Precautions for maintenance
Materials for maintenance (test sets and accessories)

iPASOLINK 1000: MAINTENANCE NWD-118791-02E
This page is intentionally left blank.
PRECAUTION 2-1
NWD-118791-02E iPASOLINK 1000: MAINTENANCE
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
1. The 48V DC power is superimposed on the center conductor of the coaxial
cable between the IDU and the ODU. Connecting the test equipment directly to
this terminal may damage it and touching the coaxial cable core may cause
electrical shock.
2. Maintenance personnel must take necessary steps to prevent the Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) that may damage the cards on the IDU or cause errors. Wear a
conductive wrist strap connected to the grounded (G) jack on the front of the
equipment shelf. This will minimize the static build-up during maintenance.
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. After turning on the equipment, wait at least for 1 minute before turning it off.
Repeatedly turning the power on and off within a short interval may cause the
equipment damaged.
5. Do not allow an ODU TX Output to be opened or short-circuited while the TX
power is on. Execute the TX Mute Control operation in the Maintenance Mode,
or turn the ODU PWR switch on IDU off before disconnecting a cable or feeder
from the ODU TX Output.
6. Contact NEC before downloading programs onto the WebLCT. Equipment may
not function correctly if the download takes place improperly.
Caution
1. In a system using the optical STM-1 INTFC, do not stare at the laser beam or
look at it directly with optical instruments, or it may hurt your eyes (Class 1 laser
product).
2. Be aware that the top surface of the IDU above MODEM turns very hot in
operation.
2-2 PRECAUTION
iPASOLINK 1000: MAINTENANCE NWD-118791-02E
3. Before replacing the IDU, turn off the ODU PWR switch and disconnect all
cables.
4. Before performing the maintenance, the Maintenance Mode of IDU should be set
to on by the LCT.
5. In order to prevent the traffic from causing interruption while in the maintenance,
execute the TX/RX SW Manual Switching in the 1+1 system.
6. Detected/Reported alarm status is removed by the CPU RESET push button that
initializes the CPU. After initialized, the alarm information is properly provided
through relay contacts.
7. Information on the maintenance and the control such as Mute, CW, LB, etc. is
released if the power is turned off.
8. If each setup item of NE SETUP or SYSTEM OPERATION is changed during
operation, traffic will be momentarily interrupted.
9. When the TX SW is activated, momentary traffic interruption may occur.
10. After completing maintenance, restore all connections, manual control settings to
normal and confirm that all alarm LEDs are unlit.
11. After equipment start-up, allow the equipment to warm up at least 30 minutes.
Handling of Connectors
Straight Type
To tighten the TNC-Male Connector of I/F Cable to the IDU, engage the connector
nut only using fingers while holding the cable by the other hand.

4.3 Alarm Lights
If an alarm is detected, its ALM LED on the IDU front indicates the condition as
well. A faulty part can be located by viewing the ALM LED indication(s) and the
current alarm status retrieved by the WebLCT. The alarm notification is also made to
the user by an Office Alarm, such as the Station Alarm bell and lamps.
ALM LED on the rack front lights up if an alarm is generated, and turns off when the
condition is cleared. See followings for details.

4.4 Alarm Status
4.4.1 Alarm Class
iPASOLINK uses the following five classes as severity levels:
CL [Cleared]:
CL indicates that one or more previously reported alarms has/have been cleared. This
state applies to all alarms detected for this managed object with the same alarm type,
probable cause and specific problems (if given). Multiple associated notifications
may be cleared by using the Correlated notifications parameter (defined below).
ID [Indeterminate]:
ID indicates that the detected condition cannot be determined to classify the severity
level.
CR [Critical]:
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.
MJ [Major]:
MJ indicates for the Major Alarm that causes a service affecting failure which
requires an urgent corrective action. If this level of condition is reported, the
capability of the managed object could be severely degraded, restoring its full
capability.
MN [Minor]:
MN indicates for the Minor Alarm that detects the existence of a non-service affecting
condition, which requires the corrective action in order to prevent a more serious
(such as a service affecting) failure. This condition does not degrade the capacity of
the managed object.
WR [Warning]:
WR indicates for the detection of a potential or impending service affecting fault,
before any significant effects have been felt. Action should be taken to further
diagnose (if necessary) and correct the problem in order to prevent a more serious
failure, such as a service affecting fault.
