(Annexes 1 & 3: date 6 August 2010) 1.5.3 Declarations and Marking Hereby, SICE S.r.l , declares that this RADIOLINK EVOLUTION system is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. The declaration of conformity may be consulted at www.SICE.it.
Functions and Handling of the Craft Terminal (CT) Introductory Note The current Manual supports equipment running Rel. 3.1 and replaces the previous Manual supporting Rel. 3.0. From this Release the CT presentation has been significantly changed using more modern SW technology to support screen presentation, with the purpose to make more user friendly the use of CT and to increase the CT capabilities with the addition of new functions.
2.2. Hardware and Software Configuration To run the RADIOLINK EVOLUTION System User Interface a standard PC is required supporting the following SW configuration: − Windows Operating System ≥ Windows 2000 − Java Browser Internet Explorer, Version ≥ 7.0 − Browser Firefox, Version ≥ 4.0 −...
Which can be used at the installation to connect each equipment from the CT (either LCT or RCT). Before any other action, after having opened a session (see par 2.4), the IP addressing has to be modified assigning the unique IP address defined by the customer according to the network addressing plan.
If an existing connection with the CT is lost, the alert of Fig. 2.3-b is displayed and the connection can be re-established clicking on the browser tab and re-entering Username and Password. Note: After a period of about 30 minutes when the CT has been inactive the CT connection is released. If the operator reopens again the CT afterwards, the login windows of Fig.

Figure 2-7: Ethernet Interface window QoS Settings: QoS Management is implemented to assign different types of traffic to the four priority queues (0 to 3) available on the system: o Queue 0 (highest priority) o Queue 3 (lowest priority) Two different types of management of the priority are supported: - by Class of Service (CoS): the Ethernet frames are queued in the four available queues supported by the system according to the PCP (Priority Code Point) field of the frame.
Note 1) The user can select the combinations (one or more) of speed (100 or 1000) and Half/Full duplex (FDX or HDX) to be used. In case autonegotiation is enabled the resulting mode will be negotiated with the network equipment within the allowed combinations. In case autonegotiation is disabled the max speed in the list will be configured.

Table 3-17: Estimation of radio Interferences from other systems - Unlicensed Bands Note: This procedure can be used to evaluate the radio interferences in the unlicensed bands before setting up a new link by making use of the Radio Frequency Seeker tool provided by the system. It is recommended to execute such an analysis before setting up the link (Table 3-19 or 3-20/21).
Table 3-18: Scan result display of the Frequency Seeker Table 3-19: Setting the Radio Channel (manually) - Unlicensed Bands Note: After a power scan it is possible not to use the Apply Frequency button and input manually the two operating frequencies (chosen based on the power scans) in TxFrequency and RxFrequency.

4.3. Working with the RCT In case of remote supervision by a RCT, connect a PC to the IP Network which has been set up. Then open the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) and write in the Address field of the browser the IP Address previously assigned to the equipment to be supervised.
Fault Management 5.1. General Fault Management Functions Fault Management performs the detection, localisation, isolation and reporting of failures of the transmission signals processed by the equipment. The failures may occur due to: Transmission Failures Equipment Failures. Failures are reported via the management interface to the CT/OS and generate alarm indications at the CT/OS.
Table 5.24: Housekeeping Contacts The Housekeeping Sensors are managed as alarms and they are included in the Summary Alarms ALM and WARN (see Table 5-25) and the corresponding LEDs as well as their transitions are reported in the Alarm Log. Table 5.25: Housekeeping Alarms 5.2.

After the new MAC Address is acquired, the "IDU not operational" alarm disappears and the IDU LEDs will stop blinking. The alternative procedure of next point 12) can be used if the automatic upload does not work. 13) Alternative procedure to manually enter the IDU MAC Address. The IDU MAC Address can be manually entered in the same System Settings→Idu Management window reading it from the IDU label.
Safety Rules and Precautions 6.1. First Aid for Electric Shocks Do not touch the patient with bare hands until the circuit has been opened. Open the circuit by switching the line switches off. If that is not possible, protect yourself with dry material and free the patient from the conductor.
Observe if patient’s chest heaves. This second method can be used instead of the first even when the patient’s nose is not obstructed, provided his nose is kept closed by pressing the nostrils together by using the hand you were holding his head with. The patient’s head must be kept sloping backwards as much as possible.

6.4.2. Warnings for the electrical safety product parts are to be designed in compliance with EN 60950-1:2001-12 “information technology equipment- Safety”. The equipment must be installed, started up, managed and repaired only by properly trained personnel. The following plate defines the points on the inner units of the system that can have voltages exceeding the SELV and/or TNV levels described into EN60950 (>120 Vdc).
