This document provides instructions for configuring a MiniLink TN network including: 1) basic NE configuration like NTP server and backup settings, 2) DCN configuration for automatic backups, 3) radio link configuration such as terminal IDs, transmit power settings, frequencies, and input alarm thresholds, and 4) protection switch configuration for 1+1 links. The steps provided configure settings according to a provided plan and make noted changes where settings do not match what is in the plan.

1. MiniLink TN Configuration
1. Basic NE Configuration
Go to NE Configure Basic NE
NTP Server Setting (To synch. the time with server)
Detail:
Set ‘Continent’= Etc
Set ‘City’= UTC
Set ‘NTP Server’= 10.3.13.1
Automatic Backup Setting
Detail:
Set ‘Automatic Backup’= ‘to remote ftp server’ from drop down list
PM Start Time
Detail:
Set ‘PM Start Time’= 00:00
Save the changes by clicking ‘Save’ button in craft

2. 2. DCN Configuration
Go to NE  Configure  DCN
FTP Settings (To enable NE automatic backup and export of error
logs)
Detail:
Set ‘Remote FTP Server’ ID = 10.3.13.1
Set ‘Username’= swdownload
Set ‘Password’= #som#
Save the changes by clicking ‘Save’ button in craft

3. 3. Radio Link Configuration
Go to MMU  Configure Configure Radio Link
Radio ID Change
Detail:
Open the ‘Configure Radio Link’ window and launch the far end as well
Uncheck ‘Radio ID Check’ Option at both ends
Save the changes by clicking ‘Save’ button in craft
Set ‘Terminal ID’= As per plan
Set ‘Far End ID’ = As per plan
Save the changes by clicking ‘Save’ button in craft
Tx Power Setting
Detail:
Check the link transmit power, RSL and frequency from LB.

4. Check the ‘Output Power Mode’ settings. It should be ATPC for all 11GHz link
and RTPC for all other frequencies or stated otherwise in LB. LB must be
consulted for mode conformation.
Note down the link if configuration is not as above.
For ATPC links verify the following:
‘Output Power’ should be set to max. allowable limit. Change the limit
accordingly.
Save the changes by clicking ‘Save’ button in craft
‘Target Input Power’ should be set to -50 dBm.
Note down the link if ‘Target Input Power’ configuration is not as above. No
changes should be done.
Change the ‘Output Power’ according to LB if ‘Output Power Mode’=RTPC. In
case of 1+1 link, changes must be done on all RAUs.
Save the changes by clicking ‘Save’ button in craft
Frequency Check
In case of frequency conflict, no activity needs to be performed. Please note
down the link.

5. RF Input Alarm Threshold
Detail:
Open ‘Advanced’ menu for both ends.
For links with RTPC settings:
Set ‘RF Input alarm threshold’= 8dBm less than design RSL.
For links with ATPC settings:
Set ‘RF Input alarm threshold’= -55 dBm
Save the changes by clicking ‘Save’ button in craft
4. Switch Configuration
Expand MMU  RAU IF
Go to SWITCH  Configure  Protection
For 1+1 links verify the switch configuration settings.

6. ‘Switch Mode’ must be set = ‘Automatic’ at both ends.
Change the settings to ‘Automatic’ if not done already
