9500 MXC Terminal
9500 MXC Terminal is a single-link terminal, comprising an IDU (Indoor Unit)
and ODU. They may be operated as single links, or back-to-back network
connected.
The PDH and SDH Terminals can be paired for protected link operation, and all
IDUs can be over-air interfaced to 9500 MXC Node.
Terminal variants support PDH, SDH or Ethernet applications on bands 5 to 38
GHz:
•
IDU 20x
supports two operational modes:
• In standard mode it supports over-air rates from 5x to 20xE1 or 4x to
16xDS1, QPSK to 128 QAM, for non-protected, hot-standby, or space
diversity operation.
• In expanded mode paired terminals are operated as hot-standby or space
diversity links, but the tributary field supports up to 40xE1 or 32xDS1. Path,
ODU and RAC module protection is retained; tributary module protection is
not.
•
IDU 155o
supports 1xSTM1/OC3 via optical LC interfaces, 16 to 128QAM.
Non-protected, hot-standby or space diversity operation.
• IDU ES supports Ethernet to 200 Mbps with up to 8xE1/DS1 waysides, QPSK
to 128QAM. Non-protected operation.
• Supports four customer 10/100baseT ports, two over-air transport channels
and comprehensive VLAN and QoS options.
• Channel bandwidths are selectable through a range of modulation options,
from QPSK to 128 QAM, to support operator selection of radio system
performance.
ODUs
ODUs used with the Terminals are the same as those used with the Node. Refer
to ODUs on page 6-2.
Inter-operation
Terminals may be linked to like Terminals, and to a 9500 MXC Node to support
Terminal spurring from a Node.
• A 9500 MXC Node when equipped with the appropriate RAC, DAC and ODU
combinations interfaces to an IDU 20x, IDU ES or IDU 155o.
