Access the Network Element using MINI-LINK Craft. For information, see
Accessing a Network Element, Reference [1].
Initial Setup
This section describes how to set up a Compact Node when the PC is
connected to the LAN port on the MMU2 CS and the traffic node is in node
installation mode. Capacity - Modulation, Tx frequency must be set, and the
transmitter must be set to on for the near-en terminal during the initial setup to
achieve transmission over the hop.
Note:
Any changed parameter is marked with blue color until the configuration
is saved.
To perform an initial setup of the NE:
1. Configure radio link, see Configure Radio Link, Section 5 on page 3.
2. Configure NE, see Configure NE, Section 6 on page 4.
3. Optionally, configure E1 interfaces, see Configure E1, Section 7 on page 5.
4. To confirm the initial setup, click Finish Installation.
A warm restart is performed and the Alarms and Status page is displayed.
Additional Options:
4.1
•
Perform software upgrade, see Upgrading or Downgrading SW in a
Compact Node, Reference [8].
•
Perform emergency fallback, see Performing an Emergency Fallback,
Section 4.1 on page 2.
•
Revert to factory settings, see Reverting to Factory Settings, Section 4.2
on page 3.
Performing an Emergency Fallback
To perform an emergency fallback:
1. Press the Board Removal (BR) button on the front panel of the MMU2 CS
to enter installation mode and open the Setup page.
2. Under Additional Options, click the Emergency Fallback button.

Configure Radio Link
4.2
Reverting to Factory Settings
To clear the current configuration and revert to factory settings:
1. Note the current settings for the NE before making any major changes to
the configuration, since the configuration cannot be fetched and saved
in a log file.
2. Press the BR button on the front panel of the MMU2 CS to enter installation
mode and open the Setup page.
3. Under Additional Options, click the Factory Settings button.
5
Configure Radio Link
This section describes how to configure the radio link. This is done on the
Configure Radio Linkpage in MINI-LINK Craft.
Note:
5.1
Any changed parameter is marked with blue color until the configuration
is saved.
Basic Configuration
To achieve transmission over the hop, some basic parameters must be set
(preferably during initial setup):
1. Access the Configure Radio Link page by right-clicking the NE in the
Management Tree, point to Configure and click Radio Link.
2. Under Capacity, set the capacity and modulation for the near-end terminal.
3. Under RF, set the Tx frequency and the output power for the near-end
terminal.
4. Under RF, set the transmitter on.
5. Click Save in the tool bar.
5.2
Optional Configuration
Optionally, to configure the radio link:
1. Access the Configure Radio Link page by right-clicking the NE in the
Management Tree, point to Configure and click Radio Link.

Configuring MINI-LINK TN Compact Nodes
2. On the near-end terminal, set values for output power mode and turn the
transmitter on or off.
3. On the near-end terminal, under Advanced, enter terminal ID and far end
ID, enable or disable the radio ID check, and set values for RF input alarms
threshold Ra1, BER alarms threshold, and Tx attenuator Ra1.
4. On the far-end terminal, enable or disable radio ID check, set values for
capacity and modulation, Tx frequency, output power mode, output power,
and turn the transmitter on or off.
5. On the far-end terminal, under Advanced, enable or disable terminal
notifications (only possible when the far end does not consist of an MMU2
CS), set values for RF input alarm threshold Ra1, BER alarm threshold, Tx
attenuator Ra, and activate or inactivate DCN without valid licenses (only
possible when the far end does not consist of an MMU2 CS).
6. Click Save in the tool bar.
6
Configure NE
This section describes how to configure the NE. This is done on the Configure
NE page in MINI-LINK Craft.
6.1
Note:
Any changed parameter is marked with blue color until the configuration
is saved.
Note:
There are no clock settings available for the Compact Node. The
default start date and time is 2000-01-01 and 00:00:00. These
parameters will be reset every time the NE is restarted. Consequently,
alarm time stamp comparison between different nodes is not possible.
Basic Configuration
To achieve DCN connection, some basic parameters must be set (preferably
during initial setup):
1. Access the Configure NE page by right-clicking the NE in the Management
Tree, point to Configure and click Network Element.
2. Under Basic NE Data, set the IP address for the NE.
3. Click Save in the tool bar.

Configure DCN
6.2
Optional Configuration
Optionally, to configure the NE:
1. Access the Configure NE page by right-clicking the NE in the Management
Tree, point to Configure and click Network Element.
2. Under Basic NE Data, enter name, location and contact person for the NE.
3. Under SNMP Manager, enable or disable sending of alarms and event
and, add or delete IP addresses.
4. Click Save in the tool bar.
7
Configure E1
This section describes how to configure E1 interfaces. This is done on the
Configure E1 page in MINI-LINK Craft.
Note:
Any changed parameter is marked with blue color until the configuration
is saved.
To configure physical E1 interfaces:
1. Access the Configure physical E1 interfaces page by right-clicking the
NE in the Management Tree, point to Configure and click E1.
2. Change values for operational status, admin status and impedance. All
physical E1s are displayed on the page even if they are not included in
the selected traffic capacity.
Note:
Only E1s included in the selected traffic capacity are possible to
configure.
3. Click Save in the tool bar.
8
Configure DCN
To achieve connection over a DCN network, perform the following configuration.

Configuring MINI-LINK TN Compact Nodes
8.1
Compact Node connected to a DCN Network
To achieve DCN connection between a Compact Node and a DCN network,
configuration must be performed in the existing DCN network in a MINI-LINK
TN node that is not a Compact Node.
To include a Compact Node in the DCN network:
1. Configure MINI-LINK TN, see Configuration Management Operations,
Reference [2].
8.2
Compact Node connected to Compact Node
Because the default IP addresses are the same for both Compact Nodes, the
IP addresses must be configured to achieve connection.
This is preferably done during the initial setup.
To configure the IP address:
1. Access the Configure NE page by right-clicking the NE in the Management
Tree, point to Configure and click Network Element.
2. Under Basic NE Data, set the IP address for the NE.
3. Click Save in the tool bar.
