o IP-10G I6.6.1 SW release (I6.6.1.0.0.60)
o IP-10 I6.3 SW release (2.9.6)
Partial support of :
o IP-10G I6.6.2 (I6.6.2.0.0.22)
3.2 MySQL Database Upgrade
MySQL has declared that MySQL database version 4.1.7 is now obsolete. This is the version which was previously used by PolyView.
In PolyView version N6.6.1.0.0 Ceragon introduces the use of MySQL database Enterprise Server v5.1, the
most updated MySQL database version. With the new MySQL database version, PolyView version N6.6.1.0.0
introduces the use of the “InnoDB” storage engine. This storage engine will enable PolyView to achieve better
performance, scalability, and data integrity.
The use of the “InnoDB” storage engine also enables PolyView to use hibernate for data persistency purposes.
Hibernate is the de-facto industry standard ORM (Object Relational Mapping) tool for Java application data
persistency.
PolyView version N6.6.1 also contains the installer of the new MySQL DB version.
For the detailed upgrade procedures and information, refer to PolyView Upgrade Procedure to N6.6.1.

N6.6.1 Release Notes Page 7
3.5 IP-10G - Floating IP Support
The Floating IP is an additional IP address that is added to an NE configured with 1+1 HSB (hot-standby). The
NE has three IP addresses as follows: two addresses - one IP for each unit (slot) and another floating IP that is
for the current active unit.
PV supports IP-10G with configured Floating IP (to be used in case of 1+1 slot protection).
The NE is discovered via its Floating IP using either Auto Discovery process, or by manually adding the
NE
Protection report is updated (first column is the Floating IP column)
All communication with the NE is via the Floating IP
NOTE: Floating IP configuration requires discover node process for that NE. An alarm is sent if the
discover node process was not performed.
Figure 3: Floating IP Report
3.5.1 Auto-discovery
An NE may be found by one of its three IP addresses. PolyView is able to identify that all of these IP addresses
refer to the same NE (one icon).
NOTE: IP-10G standalone does not support Floating IP.
3.5.2 Adding an NE
Manually adding an NE can be done while adding one of the IPs supported by the NE (3 options including the
Floating IP). PolyView does not support configuring or changing the IP in the NE, only discovering it is
supported.
3.5.3 Inventory Reports
In all inventory reports the Floating IP will be the main IP address of the NE (the IP address column).
3.5.4 Floating IP Administrative State Change
NOTE: After changing the configuration of the Floating IP administrative state parameter
(enable/disable) at the NE, the user must perform Discover Node on this NE in PolyView.
If the user did not perform Discover Node on the NE in PolyView after changing the Floating IP admin state in
the NE, an alarm is raised (Floating IP added, severity Minor).
The alarm should be cleared after the performance of the Discover Node on the NE in PolyView.

Table 2: Floating IP Administrative State Change Traps and Alarms
Trap Name Alarm Description Trap Number Severity
nmsFloatingIPAdded Floating IP added 419 Minor
nmsFloatingIpCleared Floating IP cleared 519 Minor
3.5.5 Disabling Floating IP Procedure
To disable Floating IP:
1) Disable Floating IP in the NE. Do not use the floating IP in another NE before discovering the
node.
2) Perform discover node.
NOTE: If the user performs discover node, while the NE is not connected to slot 1, the NE will not be
discovered.
Disabling the Floating IP in the NE, will cause the NE to be unreachable (if discover node was
not done).
If discover node was not done and PolyView polled the inventory, alarm will be raised (as
defined above).
3.5.6 Enable Floating IP Procedure
To enable Floating IP:
1) Enable Floating IP in the NE.
2) Perform discover node.
3.5.7 Deleting an NE
Generally in PolyView, if the user deletes an NE from the map then the NE configuration and history still exist
in the DB. When Floating IP is enabled, if the user adds the NE again with the Floating IP the server will leave
the DB of the “old” NE and build a new DB for the “new” NE. The correct way to delete an NE is to perform
“Discover Node” and not delete the NE from the map.

N6.6.1 Release Notes Page 9
3.6 Configuration Broadcast – GUI Update
There is a new user interface which enables the user to choose either to broadcast parameters that are similar for
all the NEs, or specific to a kind of NE (IP-10, 1500R/3200T).
The Select drop-down menu was added to the upper left corner of the Configuration Broadcast window with the
following options:
a) General – for parameters that are suitable for all Ceragon‟s products
b) 1500R/3200T/IP-MAX – for parameters for one of these IDUs
c) IP-10 – only for IP-10 specific parameters
Only one option can be selected, if IP-10 was selected, the configuration broadcast is done only for IP-10 NEs.

N6.6.1 Release Notes Page 10
3.7 Radio Report – Additional Columns
New columns were added to the Radio Report:
XPIC - XPIC support (NA, Disable or Enable)
State - Admin state (to support radio disable)
Figure 5: Additional Columns Radio Report
3.7.1 PM Report – Additional Columns
There are three new columns for XPIC PM Report: Min XPI, Max XPI and Excessive XPI. These columns are
only supported for IP-10G NE.
Figure 6: Additional Columns XPIC PM Report
3.8 Client Auto Upgrade
In previous version of PolyView, when upgrading the server, the user needed to upgrade the client as well.
Upgrading the client can cause a lot of operational effort when there are several clients on many platforms
spread out in several locations.
This version of PolyView adds the ability to automatically upgrade the client SW via the server when the
specific client first connects to the server. The client must initially be upgraded to the next version, afterwards
this feature is available to the client (the client also needs to update its SW to install this new feature).

PolyView™
N6.6.1 Release Notes Page 11
3.9 TDM Trail Operational Status Alarm Logging
Trails status alarms were added to the alarm log.
Events are sent for each trail when there is an alarm status change from the IP-10G, and is added to the alarm
log. Trail status changes are sent per trail from the NE.
Figure 7: Alarm Log – TDM Operational Status
3.10 Server Redundancy – Enhancement
In case of redundancy, the PolyView server has added a new ability to switch to the Standby server if the Main
server crosses a pre-configured threshold of unreachable NE.
3.10.1 Three New Parameters on the Redundancy Tab of the Server
The default setting is that when the Main server does not reach more than 80% of the NEs, the Standby server
will become Active.
The following parameters have been added to the Standby server in the Redundant window.
Table 3: New Parameters for Server Redundancy
Parameter Description Value Default Configurable
Auto-activate the
Standby server.
Configures an Admin state
where the Main server
activates the Standby server if
the threshold of an unreachable
NE was crossed.
NOTE: The Main server and
the Standby server will
be active.
Enable,
Disable Disable In Standby only
-- Company Confidential --
PolyView™
N6.6.1 Release Notes Page 12
Parameter Description Value Default Configurable
Main server
management
threshold (of
unreachable NE)
When the threshold of an
unreachable NE in the Main
server is crossed, the Standby
server performs a force switch
to Active state only if the
Standby server management
threshold is not crossed (below
the threshold).
NOTE: The Main server and
the Standby server are
active.
For example (assuming a
default configuration): if the
Main server has 82% of the
unreachable NE, while the
Standby server has 49% of the
unreachable NE, then the
Standby server is Active.
(0-100) in
percentage 80 In Standby only
Standby server
management
threshold (of
unreachable NE)
When the threshold of an
unreachable NE in the
Standby server is crossed, the
Standby server performs a
force switch to Mute state only
if the Main server management
threshold is not crossed (below
the threshold) - and vice versa.
For example (assuming default
configuration): if the Main
server has 78% of the
unreachable NE, while the
Standby server has 52% of the
unreachable NE - then the
Standby server is Mute.
(0-100) in
percentage 50 In Standby only.
The following message is presented to the client when the Standby server is automatically activated:
Figure 8: Standby Server Switching Message
NOTE: The Main server and the Standby server are active.
1) The Standby server performs the decision to become active, if main threshold above the limit (i.e.
80%) and Standby threshold is below the limit (i.e. 50%). When the Standby server becomes
Active, it informs the Main server.
-- Company Confidential --
PolyView™
N6.6.1 Release Notes Page 13
2) When the Standby server becomes active the following occurs:
a. Active Client on the Main server receives a message, as shown in Figure 8.
b. New clients on the Main server also receive this message, if the Standby server is active.
c. Alarms are raised in the both the Main and Standby servers - refer to alarm list (417, 517).
The Standby server only returns to the Mute state when the number of NEs is the same in both Main and
Standby.

3.11 Radio PM – Time in Green Mode
A critical design issue is the need to efficiently reduce power consumption and thereby increase the operational
lifetime of the network, while cutting operational expenditure. Ceragon‟s Green Mode RFU-HP offers
automatic control of both the power consumption as well as the transmission power. This mode ensures that no
excess energy is used while the network operates in “steady state”. Under fading conditions the power is
automatically increased to compensate for signal loss and to ensure that the link continues to meet the required
performance level.
Green mode is only supported on the RFU-HP ODU
Green mode is supported for IP-10G
A new PM was added to count the percentage of NE usage which is “green” time. PolyView is able to count and
present green mode levels from TSL threshold PM (values 0-900 seconds).
PolyView calculates the seconds (per NE) that the NE was in green mode and displays the percentage (table
view). It is added to the PM report for Radio Interface (in a new column). The new column is called Green %
and an NE that does not support green mode has the value 0 in the entry.
This PM column is hidden by default.

N6.6.1 Release Notes Page 15
3.12 New RFU Support – RFU-HP
RFU-HP is now supported by PolyView, including SW download and retrieving RFU inventory.
3.13 Radio Disable Support for IP-10G
In order to support the radio disable feature for IP-10G, an additional column is added to the Radio report.
NOTE: Changing the radio from disable to enable, requires performing a “Discover Node” action on
the NE.
