1.7.2 ESD Caution

The equipment includes many electrostatic-sensitive parts that must be handled at a
static-safeguarded working area. Furthermore, they must be stored in static-
safeguarded packages, either in the case of storing, warehousing, or in the case of re-
package for shipment.
These recommendations must be followed with the maximum care, especially in the
case of modules and board extraction and handling, for installation or maintenance
activity, etc.
An electrostatic safeguard area is intended as:
A grounded, electrostatic-dissipating wrist-strap that drains electrostatic charge
from the operator wearing the strap.
A work surface covered with or composed of a grounded, electrostatic-
dissipating material that drains electrical charges from conductive materials
placed on the surface.
It is important to understand that these recommendations are to be extended also to

activity not strictly performed in close equipment surrounding. Should a board be
removed or replaced, or located inside laboratory or warehouse, it must be handled by
means of convenient ESD cautions, as previously stated.
Note
Please note that SELEX Communications disclaims any responsibility for problems due to poor ESD
protection during installation/maintenance of the equipment

be fully compatible with existing
software applications and it is fully
integrated with the Asterisk Open
Source PBX/IVR platform. Also, the
open source driver supports an API
interface for custom application
development.
With the combination of Digium Hardware and Asterisk software, numerous

combinations of telephony configurations are possible. From the traditional PBX to
VoIP Gateways, Digium solutions are paving the way for a new generation of
worldwide communications.
The TE210P supports industry standard telephony and data protocols, including
Primary Rate ISDN (both N. American and Standard Euro) protocol families for voice,
PPP, Cisco, HDLC, and Frame Relay data modes. Both line-side and trunk-side
interfaces are supported, also included are advanced call features. The TE210P is for

is CORBA. According to CORBA protocol the management clients shall be able to
discover the management servers.
In the TETRA Core IP Network the CORBA mechanism used to provide the CORBA
management server discovery is the CORBA Name Services (C-NS).
In the TETRA Core IP Network each TETRA Complex Network Element (CNE) is
identified by a name the Network Element Identifier (NEID) and has an Agent Server
deployed that provides CNE management capabilities,
Then the NEID has been used as the entry-point for MIB of the CNE. CNE MIB can be
browsed by NMS only after the Agent Sw component has been registered its-self with
the local C-NS.
TMH
TMH, TETRA Module Handler is a Sw component used to monitor and to control the
processes and services running on the GW-IP.
TMH starts automatically at boot time and it run all configured application and
services, its main task is to control and keep available configured application and
services.
SNMPd
SNMPd provides GW-IP with an SNMPv2 interface.
It is possible to monitor Asterisk and its channel drivers status using the standard
management SNMP interface provided by Asterisk.
MGW
MGW square represents the set of customized Open Source SW components and the
developed ones that realize the TETRA IP Media Gateway capabilities.
Asterisk Asterisk is an open source telephone engine and tool kit, it interoperates
with traditional standards-based telephony systems (i.e. PSTN, ISDN, )
and supports different protocols for the handling and transmission of
voice including H.323 and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
Asterisk provides classical PBX functionalities and advanced features like
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and Call Conference
Asterisk provides a central switching core, with four APIs for modular
loading of telephony applications, hardware interfaces, file format
handling, and codecs. It allows for transparent switching between all
supported interfaces, allowing it to tie together a diverse mixture of
telephony systems into a single switching network.
For interconnection with digital and analog telephony equipment Asterisk
supports all the Hw devices manufactured by Digium, the Asterisk
creator, and usually all the Hw devices that provides the proper Channel
Driver to interface the Hw device with Asterisk.
Channel Drivers are SW modules dynamically loaded by Asterisk, a

Rev. 02

channel driver allows creating a channel. Channels are methods by

which a leg of a call can be received or transmitted using a telephone
technology.
Each time a new speech call is set-up a across the GW-IP, a channel
driver instance for the Cg is created then Asterisk forwards to the
DialPlan the incoming call and the DialPlan sends back to Asterisk a dial
statement that couple Cg channel driver with a Cd channel driver, then
Asterisk link the two calls from different drivers together without knowing
the specifics of the inbound or outbound call handler.
Asterisk supports also the possibility to create a trunk with other Asterisk
running on remote machine. Trunk is realized using the IAX2+
communication protocol. Typically trunks are used to transport calls
across the IP Backbone Telephone Infrastructure.
Two management interfaces are available in Asterisk:
Asterisk Management Interface (AMI): a proprietary management
interface.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): a standard management
interface.
Trough the management interfaces Asterisk provides information about
channels allocation and their use.
Channel Drivers All the following Channel Drivers is supported:

DialPlan Dial planning is the activity that defines the set of rules required by a PBX
to handle and route incoming and outgoing calls. Indeed one of the main
tasks of Dial Plan SW component is to provide Asterisks with instructions
about mapping between physical channels and telephone numbers.
Dial Plan interacts with Asterisk using the AGI and AMI interfaces.
Dial Plan provides also proprietary call manager capabilities extending
typical PMR capabilities like call queuing, pre-emption and priority call
and group calls to the IP Backbone telephone infrastructure.
DialPlan is able to perform extended call manager activities only with
calls involving users defined in its database.
Each user will be identified by an U.U.T.N. (Unique Universal Telephone
Number), a set of parameters have to be configured for each user in
order to be able to identify the physical telephone line were the user can
be found and the telephone number to be used on the specified physical
channel.
If a user of the incoming call is not found in the DialPlan database then
the incoming call can be forwarded to one ore more default gw, in this
case the call will be terminated by timeout if no answer is received by any
one and in case the call is established the typical PMR services shall not
be applied.
Subscriber Web Application This Sw component using the same data model
used by Dial Plan interfaces MySQL data base to store and read the
static data model information and it provides an http interface to export
an administration web interface for dialing plan configuration.
DataBase MySQL MySQL is an open source DBMS (Management System

Data Base) used to store the static information required by Dial Plan.

arbitrary delivery protocol (RFC2784). Although GRE has generic tunneling capability,
its most common use is for tunnels that carry IP and are carried by IP: IP-in-GRE-in-
IP.
GRE tunnels is statically opened between GW-IP and the IP SCN Node at startup
according to be ready for a call setup.
For release 6.0.2 of the IP TETRA Single Site Network the reference scenario is
represented by a network where all the network elements are deployed across a
unique L2 Ethernet broadcast domain. Then GRE tunneling is not required in first
release.
QoS
The IP Tetra Core Network QoS paradigm follows the QoS requirements of
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) provisioned QoS model (RFC2474, RFC2475). In
order to deliver QoS, two main capabilities are required:
packet marking
Per Hop Behaviour 1(PHB).
An heterogeneous and cross-layer (CoS, and DSCP for L2/L3) model is supported.
The GW-IP is able to mark all the outgoing IP packets according to the traffic flows
classification.
Packet marking can be performed at Layer 2 setting the CoS field and at Layer 3
setting the DSCP field or the IP-Precedence.
GW-IP provides Per-Hop-Behavior capabilities.
GW-IP provides L3 packet marking.
GW-IP provides L2 packet marking.
Packet marking for traffic flow classification is described in the following paragraphs:
- par. L3-QoS details on values to be set for L3 packet marking are reported.
- par. L2-QoS details on values to be set for L2 packet marking are reported.

L3-QoS All the IP packets outgoing from the GW-IP toward the IP TETRA Core
Network is marked according the DSCP value
L2-QoS All the IP packets outgoing from the DS is L2 marked according the CoS
value.
QoS and GRE

In Different Service architecture the packet classification can be performed looking at
the DSCP set in the IP header, if the GRE encapsulation is used the encapsulated IP
packet has the IP-in-GRE-in-IP structure.
The Differentiated Service on the third party transport network is able to condition the
GRE-encapsulated packet forwarding looking at the DSCP value set in the outer IP
header.
GW-IP is able to mark both the outer IP header and the inner IP header of the
outgoing packets.
Moreover the third party transport network MAY belong to a different Diff Service
domain (DS-domain2) then in order to preserve prioritized traffic within the transport
network a Service Level Agreement (SLA3) is defined between the GW-IP and the DS-
boundary node of the transport network.
Outer IP header of the outgoing GRE-encapsulated packet is marked differently
according to the inner packet classification.
DSCP values for the outer IP header is configurable according the SLA defined with
the transport network.
GW-IP is able to set the DSCP in the IP packet header as explained in par. 0.

L2-IPT-F
L2-IPT-F provides GW-IP L2 capabilities:
- Interface toward L2 Ethernet switching is supported
- L2 redundant connectivity is supported.
- VLAN 802.1Q is supported.
- GW-IP is able to terminate IP Multicast signaling.
For release 6.0.2 of the GW-IP the L2 redundant connectivity and the VLAN 802.1Q
are not required.
IP Multicast IP Multicast technology is used to provide efficient point-to-

multipoint communication over the IP based TETRA SwMI. A typical
scenario is the RTP packetized TETRA voice for the group4 speech call,
where the RTP traffic flows have to reach many attached group
members.
Multicast packets are broadcasted in L2 access network and a connected
Ethernet device is able to transfer a received multicast packet toward the
upper layers only if the Ethernet device has been joined to the relevant
multicast group.
GW-IP is able to join its Ethernet device to a multicast group.
GW-IP is able to leave its Ethernet device from multicast group.
GW-IP is able to manage up to 16 simultaneous multicast group IP
address.
IP SCN Nodes implement a proprietary algorithm for multicast packet
routing. Multicast packets are typically discharged by third party L3
devices and is encapsulated in GRE tunnel if third party network has to
be crossed.
For release 6.0.2 of the IP TETRA Single Site Network the reference
scenario is represented by a network where all the network elements are
deployed across a unique L2 Ethernet broadcast domain. Then it is not
required that Multicast packets are GRE-Encapsulted in first release.
DHCP-C The GW-IP is able to receive dynamically its IP address from DHCP-
Server.
The GW-IP provides HostName in the DHCP-Discover Message.
GW-IP HostName is a function of the NEID.
The GW-IP is able to receive from DHCP Server the IP address, the
subnet mask, the default GW, the DNS IP address.
The GW-IP is able to receive from DHCP Server the NTP Server IP
address.
The GW-IP is able to receive the VLAN Id from the DHCP Server a.
In release 6.0.2 dynamic NTP Server IP address and VLAN Id setting are
not required.

4. MAINTENANCE
The PPR-MGW is a unit that may be installed in stand-alone configuration or inside

TETRA network infrastructures. For this reason further details on maintenance actions
may be found in the Technical Handbook of the equipment in which the PPR-MGW is
installed.
The maintenance activity is constituted by all the actions performed to keep or restore
the correct functionality of the equipment; maintenance actions can be divided into two
categories:
Preventive maintenance (scheduled maintenance)
Corrective maintenance (unscheduled maintenance)
In order to plan and organize the maintenance activity it is necessary to divide the
maintenance environment in various levels called Maintenance Levels (ML) identifying
the system assembly level to witch the activity is referred.
Three Maintenance Levels are identified
IML: Equipment maintenance level
II ML: Module maintenance level
III ML: Component maintenance level
Each level is associated to a workshop (correctly sized) with a spare part set and a
tools and equipment set. The following tables summarize ML levels.

Note:
Cleaning operations of the equipment must be carried out even if the equipment is installed in an air-
conditioned environment. Dust accumulated on the various components can, over time, form a layer that
reduces the efficiency of the cooling system (whether this is by natural air convection in the cabinet or by
forced ventilation with cooling fans). This causes a general increase in the operational temperature of the
equipment that, after some time, can reach a high value, thus causing the malfunction or breakdown of
some component. In order to prevent this, the equipment must be properly cleaned periodically.
Procedure:
Remove all traces of dust from air intakes, by using a vacuum cleaner a clean dry cloth or a brush if
necessary.
If you think that dust has accumulated on surface of cards located inside the rack they must be
removed.
The air filter must be periodically checked: accumulated dust can cause a partial obstruction of air
inlets causing an increase in operating temperature leading to component
malfunction or breakdown. Air filters can be removed according to the procedures
described in the related section of this section
Clean printed circuit boards or modules by using a vacuum cleaner and a brush. If there is grease or
dirt on the connector pins use a cloth (lint free) and/or brush dampened with a total

4.4 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Qualified personnel should perform card substitution. This section of manual is
intended for engineers and technicians responsible for maintenance of the equipment
and who have knowledge about networks and telecommunications.
4.4.1 Safety Rules

All installation activities must be performed in full respect of rules and standards of the
country in which installation takes place.
4.4.2 ESD Protection

All PPR-MGW sub-parts, such as components and boards are electrostatic sensitive
and consequently must be handled at a static-safeguarded working area.
Furthermore, in case of temporary storing, warehousing or re-package for shipment,

the parts must be stored in electrostatic-safeguarded packages.
Note
SELEX Communications disclaims any responsibility for problems due to poor ESD protection during
installation/maintenance of the equipment.

This section helps the operator to identify the type of fault or failure and its possible
source. In some cases it will provide indications on how to undertake a corrective
action.
The PPR-MGW faulty parts can be identified in three ways:
From front panel LEDs indicators
From the management software application GUI
The following sub-section shows the types of faults or failures that are immediately

GLOSSARY
Air interface The TETRA defined standard high-frequency interface between a base
station and a mobile station, or between mobile stations mutually.
Call delay [End-tot-end Call delay means the time difference between the speech input by the
delay] sending party, to be transmitted via the peripheral equipment, and the
received speech from the loudspeaker of the peripheral equipment of the
receiving party.
Cell The coverage area which is provided by a base station.
Channel 1. A (duplex) frequency pair consisting of a transmission and a reception

frequency, (thus) of two carriers. In TETRA there exist in each carrier
four time slots.
2. In TETRA, and in TDMA systems generally, a channel represents a
pair of similarly numbered locks on the up- and downlink duplex
frequencies.
Cluster A geographical area, consisting of a number regions (administrative units of
the user organisations) in which an implementation route of the mobile
radio system takes place.
Common cipher key A key which is generated and is used by the fixed infrastructure for air
(CCK) interface encryption of the downlink of group calls.
Derived cipher key A key which is derived during the authentication of an individual network
(DCK) address and is used for the air interface encryption of the upand downlink
of an individual call and the uplink of a group call.
Direct Mode Communication between mobile stations mutually, using radio frequencies
that fall outside the control of the network, and without intervention of a
base station.
Downlink. The radio channel from a base station to a mobile peripheral equipment
Encryption The cryptographic conversion of clear speech or data into encrypted

speech or data so that the content of the message is no longer identifiable
Frequency channel A section of the frequency spectrum that is reserved for the transmission of
signals, and which is defined by a center frequency and an associated
bandwidth, or by an equivalent indication.
Group Call A group call is a speech call among several users. It is realised making a
call from an individual user toward a group.
Half duplex call In half duplex call, each MS or LS needs to ask for permission to transmit
for each transaction. In TETRA trunked mode operation half duplex means
two frequency simplex operation.
Handover The action of the switching of a communication session from one cell to
another cell or between radio channels in a cell. Handover makes it
possible to maintain a communication session when the mobile stations
concerned move from one cell to another cell, or switch between radio
channels in a cell. See also cell reselection.
Individual Call An individual speech call is a bi-directional point to point connection
between two terminal equipment such as: Mobile Station, Dispatchers,
PABX / PSTN gateways.

ISDN (Integrated ISDN is a set of CCITT/ITU standards for digital transmission over ordinary
Services Digital telephone copper wire as well as over other media. There are two levels of
service: the Basic Rate Interface (BRI), intended for the home and small
Network)
enterprise, and the Primary Rate Interface (PRI), for larger users. Both
rates include a number of B-channels and a D-channels. Each B-channel
carries data, voice, and other services. Each D-channel carries control and
signalling information.
Late Entry (LE) During a multipoint speech call, the TETRA network can send LE
indications related to that call, to allow latecomer users to join the ongoing
speech call.
Location Area The area in the radio coverage of a base station or group of base stations
in which it is permitted to operate a mobile station.
Pre-emptive Priority Call According to this service, several calls may be pre-empted to satisfy the
higher priority call. This means that those calls are shut down, and the
traffic channels are allocated for other high-priority tasks.
Priority Call This service allows the infrastructure to give priority access to network
resources to calls which have been sent with priority status.
Short Data Service Service allowing a subscriber (MS or Dispatcher) to send pre-defined and
(SDS) user defined short messages to another subscriber or group of subscribers.
Static Cipher Key (SCK) A pre-established and distributed key for air interface encryption. The static
cipher key is the only key that can be used for air interface encryption in
direct mode.
Subscriber An employee of one of the user organisations, that uses the services of the
network.
TETRA Equipment An electronic serial number that is permanently embedded in the TETRA
Identity (TEI) equipment. A TEI is embedded in both MSs (in the MT) and in LSs (in the
NT).
TETRA Subscriber A global TETRA network address that is used to identify an individual or a
Identity (TSI) group subscriber within the domain of all TETRA networks. A valid TSI
refers to a TSI that has been allocated by the network where it is being
used (see figure 25 for addressing domain).
Trunked mode A method of working where peripheral equipment can communicate via the
network air interface, under the control of the network fixed infrastructure.
Uplink The radio channel from mobile peripheral equipment to a base station.
