MDS Intrepid-HC HP Installation and Operation 3-7
1+0 Commissioning Procedure
Scope
This section describes the recommended commissioning tests for a GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP radio link in a 1+0
configuration.
The purpose of the commissioning tests is to verify correct and proper operation of the product.
Commissioning Test
The following tests should be performed on each installed link.
Link Verification
“Radio” LED on the IDM front panel is green, indicating the radio link is up.
Received Signal Level (RSL) is up to +/- 4 dB from the expected (calculated) level at both ends of the
link.
Radio Bit Error Rate (BER) is 10E
-11
or higher.
If working with ATPC, ATPC is operating as expected (RSL = reference level).
After connecting test equipment or end equipment to the line interfaces, all LEDs on the front panel of the
IDM are green.
Line Interfaces Test
155 Mbps Interface - connect SDH/SONET/ATM test equipment to the 155 Mbps interface and
verify error-free operation for at least 1 hour. Use a physical or software loop at the far end.
50/100/200 Mbps, GbE Interface - connect a Packet Analyzer to the Fast Ethernet interface and
verify error-free operation (no packet loss) for at least 1 hour. Use a physical loop at the far end.
45 Mbps Interface - connect PDH test equipment to the DS3 interface and verify error-free
operation for at least 1 hour. Use a physical or software loop at the far end.
2 Mbps/1.5 Mbps - connect PDH test equipment to the E1/T1 interface and verify error-free
operation for at least 1 hour. Use a physical or software loop at the far end.
Interoperability Verification
Connect customer end equipment to the line interfaces, and verify correct operation.
Further interoperability tests should be performed in accordance with the specific requirements of the
connected end equipment.
