IP 20C Installation
Unit Grounding
• Observe the Grounding screw for the IP-20C element.
• The user power supply GND must be connected to the positive pole in the IP-20C power supply. Any other
connection may cause damage to the system!
• The power supply must have grounding points on the AC and DC sides.
• IP-20C includes built-in surge protection for its Ethernet and power interfaces (IEC 61000-4-5, level 4).

Information at a glance
• Use this page for

32
Platform / Management / Time Services
• IP-20 products use UTC for time and date configuration, along with UTC offset from GMT.
• Make sure you select the correct UTC offset whenever configuring.
• Set Date & Time of Computer option.

Correctly configuring time services or

the NTP server is extremely
important for Auditing,
Troubleshooting and Maintaining the
link/element later on.

 SFP DDM and Inventory Monitoring

• Static and dynamic monitoring for SFP modules,

including all SFP, SFP+, and CSFP modules used in
Ethernet and MIMO ports in IP-20 all outdoor
products. Dynamic monitoring PMs are also available.
• DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) enables users to
display dynamic information
about the SFP state, including:
• RX Power (in dBm)
• TX Power (in dBm)
• Bias current (mA)
• Temperature (both Celsius and
Fahrenheit)

Transmit Signal Level Received Signal Level

What do we need to configure for a radio link: What do we need to monitor?

1. MRMC– Modem scripts (ACM or fixed capacity, channel 1. ACM and MSE– Mean Square Error [dB] (see MSE PPS)
& modulation, XPIC, MIMO, AFR, SD)
2. TX / RX frequencies – set on every carrier in radio 2. Monitored RSL – Actual Receive level [dBm]
3. Link ID local / remote – must be the same on both ends 3. Monitored TSL – Actual Transmission level [dBm]
4. TX power or ATPC– ON / OFF – avoiding co-interferences 4. XPI level – when XPIC is used [dB]
caused by nearby antennas

Radio Settings : MRMC Configuration
• Configuration Steps presented below. For most IP-20 products applying a new MRMC script
requires a unit reboot (not for IP-20N/A/LH)

• ACM profile can be different between Tx / Rx.

ACM profile can be different on Tx and Rx.

Frequency setting is creating the “cable over the air”. As discussed, a radio link uses high and
low frequencies.
• High station means: Tx > Rx
• Low station means: Tx < Rx

To set frequency on IP-20
Current information about the link:
• Radio Location
• Radio Type
• Part number and Serial Number
• Support of Radio Functions
• Current Tx and Rx levels
• Model MSE value
• XPI value
• Temperature
• Adaptive Tx operation
• Defective Blocks Counter
• Tx Mute status

Frequency/Status settings for Tx and Rx:

Set Remote Unit (Tx and Rx, one after
the other)

TX level setting
Radio muted: Mute/Unmute/Mute with Timer.
RSL Connector Source – for antenna alignment
Link ID – radio Link ID parameter
Adaptive TX Power admin – can increase gain of
system as modulation comes down

48
Link-ID Setting on IP-20

• The Radio Flag should be the same on

both link ends.
• By default, the Link-ID mismatch does
not alter traffic.
• A command to disable traffic with the
mismatch alarm is available.

Link ID – setting should

be same on both ends

53
Step 3: change VLAN ID, if needed
You can configure the VLAN attached to a service point, even if the service point is used.

No service point was deleted, just edited.

Depending on the configured service,
there might be traffic hit.

54
Deleting a Service
Step 1: first delete the service points

XPIC Group Configuration
• Enable XPIC group
• Check radio parameters for both
carriers:
• XPI ≈ 25 to 30 dB is optimal
• MSE ≈ -41 dB
