Go back to “Shelf View” & click on “SYNC” connector on ADR lower left

Set up synchronisation per Ceragon plan. In general priority 1 clock “P1” is taken from
the HQ direction. Priority 2 clock “P2” is the internal oscillator. At HQ we try to use a
clock input from the MSC/BSC, usually via a nominated E1.
Set all unused sources to Quality = DNU and T0 Priority = Dis.
Ensure that Minimum Quality in T4 table (lower right part of screen) is set to SEC.
Don’t forget to “Apply” for changes made to each table on screen

To set up cross-connects, select hypertext link from “Shelf View” screen

Click on card you want to make cross-connections from (using diagram in top right
corner of screen). This will show you all available circuits on the card: 63 for a STM-1
card, 21 for a 21E1 card, 21 for the Motherboard’s 21E1s

Select a circuit for mapping by clicking the blue “Output” number in the left-most
column of the main screen, then click the “Configure” hypertext link

You can then choose the “Input Port” using the drop-down box. It displays all available
circuits (not already mapped) from all cards installed in the ADR.
Press “Apply” when you have selected the circuit.
Repeat for as many circuits as you need to map.
You can also use “Multiple Connections” to make repetitive mapping easier.

To set up in-band management, click on “ETH” connector on “Shelf View” screen

This screen tells you which management connections are configured, which are working
& which are failed.

Select “Interfaces Configuration” hypertext link

Per the Ceragon IP Planning Spreadsheet, set up each port.

ETH port should be set up already (this was done during initial setup via the serial port
using Hyperterminal session). Ensure OSPF Route Protocol is selected.
PPP ports should only be activated where required. Any activated will be “Unnumbered”,
mapped to a DCCm path & use OSPF.
Click “Apply” to execute changes.

Select “Routing Table” hypertext link.

Ensure all other IP addresses on the network are now shown, accessible via the
appropriate PPP port. This table automatically fills up as the ADRs “find out” this
information by using the OSPF protocol.
If you cannot see you other ADR IP addresses its probably a configuration error at a ADR
of the fact that there is no STM-1 connection to the other ADRs.

To monitor E1 alarms (see yellow [minor-alarm] or red [major-alarm] border around the
E1 Input/Output ports on the “Shelf View” screen) click the appropriate E1 connector.

Alarm status of ports is shown across table at top of page. Clicking on the relevant port in
the upper table (numbered 1-21, left to right across table) selects the port & shows all
alarm data in main part of screen. Usual problems are PPI LOS (PDH Physical Interface
Loss Of Signal) or PPI AIS (PDH Physical Interface Alarm Indication Signal).

To monitor STM-1 alarms (see yellow [minor-alarm] or red [major-alarm] border around
the STM-1 TR or REC ports on the “Shelf View” screen) click the appropriate STM-1 TR
or REC connector.

Usual problem is SPI LOS (SDH Physical Interface Loss Of Signal).

Use the online help to help decipher the acronyms.
