  • Page 11 Tab.1 - Artificial respiration Step Description Figure Lay the patient on his back with his arms parallel to the body. If the patient is laying on an inclined plane, make sure that his stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients mouth and check that there is no foreign matter in mouth (den- tures, chewing gum, etc.).

    7.1.4 Switch for Ethernet ports Inside ALFOplus is present an Ethernet switch with 2 external ports line side (electrical 10/100/1000BaseT or optical 100/1000BaseFX), one internal radio port and one port towards controller (see Fig.16). Internal port is represented by the local radio stream where through native Ethernet transport is connected with the remote equipment.

  • Page 62: Atpc And Acm Interaction

    In order to configure properly the radio link using ACM facility, an optimization must be found between max traffic during good propagation conditions and max availability during bad propagation conditions. To obtain this purpose the ACM in ALFOplus family can be configured via software setting the following pa- rameters: ACM setting and Tx Power mode.
  • Page 63 A good set of the thresholds is to put the ATPC Low Level threshold higher (or even slightly higher) than the threshold of the highest modulation scheme of the ACM; this way, the ATPC start to work before than the received signal is reduced and by consequence will force the system to downgrade the modulation. The behaviour of the system is to always try to increase the PTX and so the System Gain, before than being forced to reduce capacity due to modulation downgrade.

The MEPs are “markers” that define the end of a domain and are in charge of originating OAM frames. In a domain also MIPs (Maintenance Intermediate Points) can be specified.
  • Page 75 MEPs and MIPs have to be defined. • ALFOplus: when a specified traffic needs to be monitored, then it is necessary to relay the VLAN to a Domain and to the corresponding MEPs or MIPs through the MA. Before creating the Maintenance Association, the VLAN, either S-VLAN or C-VLAN, has to be specified in the VLAN Table.

    7.10 SOURCES OF SYNCHRONISM SIAE equipment is able to select among different sources of synchronization. A priority has to be assigned to enable each source, with a value ranging from 1 to 9 included. The priority 1 corresponds to the maxi- mum value, while the priority 9 corresponds to the minimum value.

    7.12 G.8264 SSM – SYNCHRONISATION STATUS MESSAGE The SSM is a protocol that transmits the quality of the synchronization message throughout the network (G.781). In the synchronization network the transmission of the quality of the clock allows the network to be scal- able and to provide redundancy.

  • Page 84: Ssm On Ethernet Interfaces

    b. Radio with quality SSUT (Priority 2) In case the sources have equal quality, the SIAE equipment will switch the source of synchronization with higher priority, in this case (a) the LAN1 with Priority 1 and quality SSUT. However, if a DNU quality would be received on LAN1, the SIAE equipment will switch the synch source to Radio port.

Regardless if each LAN interface is set manually as Master/Slave or with autonegotiation, the setting of dynamic or static in the SSM configuration is privileged.
