This document provides step-by-step instructions for installing a CN510 and upgrading a Mini Link to CN510. It details pre-installation tasks like site surveys and material checks. The installation process includes fixing the CN510 and connecting power and cables. Configuration steps cover settings like the IP address, OSPF routing, and radio link parameters based on an SF6 file. Backup from the facing node and coordination with teams is also required before and after the installation.

1. Before access site:
Send sign in message to 5011 (sign in message format S=xxxx*A=inout)
Write risk assessment

5. MLU Project
2. Site Survey:
a) Magazine placement:
check where you will fix CN510 where magazine need 1U at rack, 1U
for ICF3 and 1U for DC/DC Converter if there is no -48V power
source and check 3U for DDU SIAE
1U

6. MLU Project
b) Check Power Source:
PBC 6200:
At this case take two power cables and connect them with main Power cable
found with CN 510 by use I Power Connector (Review APPENDIX C) to
CN510
DC Box:
DC Box +24 V
Take two Power cables to DC/DC Converter then power cable to CN510
DC Box -48 V:
Take two power cables from DC Box to and make cable expansion as
show in fig and connect this cable with CN510

DDU SIAE:
If this DDU +24 V take power cable to DC/DC converter
and power cable to CN510
If this DDU -48V take power cable from it direct to
CN510
c) E1 Survey:
Trace each E1 cable if these cable direct to other sites you can check it with
End to End
d) Check Link:
Check old link parameter with SF6 file (Review APPENDIX B) most
important parameter:
1) RSL and Tx power
2) Inventory
3) Tx and Rx frequency
4) Link performance
e) Check IF Connector:
Standard or not, if not standard you should change it after
halting sites
Standard as show in fig

16. MLU Project
5. Configure CN510:
Set IP 192.168.0.2 and Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 and Gateway: 192.168.0.1 on your
PC
Choose it

17. MLU Project
Now Open Mini-Link craft:
Use Ethernet cable (straight or cross) and plug it in LAN port
NE: 192.168.0.1
User: Control_user
Password: ericsson
LAN Port

18. MLU Project
The following fig appears at first time:
Right click on CN and choose configure
NE name: CN01-site number
NE Location: Area name for example (obour)
IP address: IP from address sheet for example: 10.250.5.25
NE subnet mask: according to IP sheet for example: 255.255.255.248
Continent: Africa
City: Cairo

19. MLU Project
How read IP sheet and extract IP and subnet mask:
Note: after you set IP and press save you will lost connection with CN so you should
reconfigure your PC at the same range of CN (take free IP and same subnet mask and
write default gateway CN IP)
Now you want set date and time on CN: open start Menu and write cmd on RUN and
press enter
Write telnet and CN IP then press enter, password: ericsson
CN IP
It mean Subnet mask
255.255.255.248

20. MLU Project
Write enable and press enter, password: ericsson
CN01-3126# clock set 9:05:30 19 May 2013 (write this command line then press enter)
In end Basic NE page press on Advanced Basic NE and set FTP server IP (your PC IP)
Enable PPP

21. MLU Project
Press on Configure OSPF area
How read OSPF area from IP sheet:
NE address = Subnet address, Subnet mask: 255.255.255.248 (/29) like as subnet mask
for IP address, area ID= 0.0.0.2, area type: Total stubby
Admin status: enable and check
mark on Notifications
Press here to add
OSPF area

22. MLU Project
OSPF (Open shortest path first): this is one type of routing protocol used with PPP
(point to point protocol) to allow O&M access magazine remotely (Add magazine to
management)
OSPF depend on link state method to build routing table, this method depend on send
parameter that changed on route only not need send all routing table and send periodic
update every 30 min V.S RIP protocol that send all routing table information every
30Sec that contain heavy control traffic on link B.W
 Call 2nd
line to send mail to BEB team, (review Phone number list)
 Then you call BEB team to take Backup from TN at facing before any
work on it
 At downtime case: call NMC team, (review Phone number list) at 2:00
Am to halt sites
After halt sites start the final step:
Connect Jumper to CN port and start make RAU Software upgrade
Right click on CN and choose Software upgrade the following fig appear
Set FTP server IP (it is the same your PC IP)
RAU 2Nchoose R4C04
RAU 2Xchoose R3C07
After finish press save
Press use PC IP address
before upgrade, set user
name and password
according to FTP that you
use
Press here and choose RAU upgrade
from list according to RAU Type

23. MLU Project
Start configure CN Radio link also at Facing connect Jumper to MMU port and start
configure it
Open SF6 file as following:
Rate 75E1 *2.018Mb/sec =154 Mb/sec
Modulation type: 128 QAM
Channel spacing = 28 MHZ
Tx frequency and transmitted
power
Terminal ID, it is character
sensitive

24. MLU Project
After read SF6 start open configure radio link page:
Select check mark on check Radio ID Check
Protection:
1) 1+0 it mean one RAU and there is no protection
2) 1+1 Hot it mean there is two RAU one of them master and other slave,
Tx at master send and two Rx receive, Two Tx tune at the same
frequency
3) 1+1 work it mean two RAU and each Tx has specific frequency, Both
Tx and Rx active
Adaptive Modulation: use this type of modulation, if normal modulation not support
Rate wanted we use Adaptive modulation, also adaptive modulation need license and
it has two rate Max and Min capacity use basically to variety rate between Min and
Max at bad weathered
Choose Rate-Modulation
Write ID for your site
ID for second
site

25. MLU Project
Channel spacing:
Frequency B.W divided into channels with different B.W called channel spacing
At narrow channel B.W get more channels at frequency band and small rate at
channel vice versa with wide channel B.W
Two factors determine data rate send on frequency band:
 Channel spacing
 Modulation type
Modulation Techniques:
QAM:
QAM Mean data send on two carrier and there is shift between them by 90̊ also we
change amplitude on each carrier so we use PSK and ASK prosperities to get high data
rate send by use this type of modulations
For example: 16 QAM
See this link:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90/QAM16_Demonstration.gif
Each point in fig called symbol and each symbol represent 4 bits
If use 128 QAM it mean we have 128 symbol and each symbol
contain
7 bits per symbol
So when increase channel spacing, increase rate can send also when
increase type of modulation give you high data rate

26. MLU Project
Number E1 assigns it according to SF6
Assign Tx frequency according to SF6 (Rx assigned automatically), assign Output power
as SF6 and check mark at Transmitter on (you assign data according to site that you are
in it)
RF input threshold -70 dBm (Always) and BER (Bit error rate) 10^-6
NOTE: each side in link must be with the same Modulation and channel spacing (the same configuration at this
part)

27. MLU Project
After finish link configuration press on Radio link to show Tx power and RSL Received
(RSL accepted if it equal RSL predicate in SF6 or it in range RSL needed +/- 3dBm)
Press here
TX power and Rx (RSL)
needed

28. MLU Project
Check if magazine in management or not:
Open start menu and write cmd at RUN menu and press enter
Write telnet magazine IP and press enter, (password: Ericsson)
CN01-6126 > ping Router IP (Always end with .29)
Find it from IP sheet
This IP that you
need ping on it to
check if Magazine
management

29. MLU Project
Print screen show that magazine managed:
6. Drop E1 cable physical on ICF3
7. Call BEB team (review Phone list sheet):
Tell him (you do Activity upgrade Mini link E to CN and need add magazine, tell him
magazine IP, and tell him E1 cable dropping where 1st
cable drop on 2A and tell him
which represent (assume represent site) and second on 2B and third on 2C complete as
this sequence (look on CN traffic cable port)) after end your call, BEB team will call you
after finish
