CFIP Phoenix C is a universal IDU designed for split-architecture high-performance Point-to-Point (PtP) digital microwave links with adjustable data rate from 10 up to 730 Mbps. It can be connected to SAF CFIP Phoenix ODUs. The whole system is designed especially for network operators interested in IP based transports and backhaul infrastructure.
IF. The resulting converted signal is together with management channel carried via the coaxial cable to the CFIP Phoenix C indoor unit (IDU). The signal is demodulated inside the IDU, followed by recovery of user data and management data intended for communication with ODU. As a source of user data can be used a signal for/from the Gigabit Ethernet ports or EMM modules connected over SFP module.
Indoor Unit (IDU) The basic function of the CFIP Phoenix C Indoor Unit is the data multiplexing and at the same time it is the digital modem of the whole system. Both of these functions are easily configurable by software.
CPU. This block (CPU) is also accessible via management interfaces and allows the user to perform all the settings both locally and remotely trough the IP interface in the CFIP Phoenix C IDU. The function of Packet Processor is specific in dependence on selected design. Generally, Packet Processor uses priority scheme which ensures that data at the internal port ETH 4 are processed with the highest priority whereas data at the internal port ETH 1 with the lowest priority.
Block diagram of design SINGLE The main application in design SINGLE is a transmission of a single data stream over air. CFIP Phoenix C IDU is configured into this mode by means of IDU management. Packet Processor function can be simply explained in Figure 5.
IDU block scheme in terms of IP The following Figure 11 depicts a simplified block diagram of the CFIP Phoenix C IDU in terms of IP management. Figure 11: Detailed block diagram of IP management scheme The processor itself performs the function of an IP router. The individual IP frames routing is based on standard routing rules, in this case on static routing.
Device CFIP-16E1/T1-EXT (External Multiplexer Module) provides E1/T1 extension for Indoor Units of CFIP Phoenix C product line. The CFIP-16E1/T1 module enables multiplexing up to 16 E1 / T1 circuits. The multiplexer features a basic unit with 16 x E1/T1 built-in ports and 2 x SFP 1000Base-SX ports. The compact, simple to configure, and easily scalable design can provide up to 64 x E1/T1 solution or enables cascading with other extension devices CFIP (e.g.
N plug to N jack right angle adaptor for Indoor unit R/A adaptor is a recommended accessory for connecting the coaxial cable to CFIP Phoenix C IDU unit under 90° angle. We recommend to use only brand-name R/A adaptors eg. Rosenberger, Telegartner, Amphenol.
REMOTE. Connection of external equipment Microwave system CFIP Phoenix C is equipped with Gigabit Ethernet ports. At the same time it is possible to insert the standard SFP modules into the free SFP slots which allow to connect external modules EMM or additional Gigabit Ethernet equipment.
The SFP module should be inserted before IDU power-up, but can be plugged also when system is under power. Appropriate Fiber Optic cable with LC connectors must be used for CFIP Phoenix C IDU and EMM interconnection (usually 0.5 m long cable is adequate).
After proper configuration of the computer's network connection a Web browser could be launched. Enter the secondary IP address of the CFIP Phoenix C IDU, that is 10.10.10.10 into the address bar of the Web browser (example for connection over LAN 3 port). After entering this address, the login window appears, see Figure 32.
Access Rights It is possible to monitor and manage the microwave link CFIP Phoenix C after the login into the system only, both locally and remotely. In dependence on the login level (after entering a Login and a Password) the relevant access rights are automatically granted to the user, which affect the scope of the management capabilities for the microwave link.
(see chapter Advanced system configuration on page 97) before starting any port settings. Each design type uses different port configuration scheme according to the description in chapter Block diagram of the CFIP Phoenix C Indoor Unit on page 9. Therefore the next explanation is done individually for each design type.
