3 New Features

3.1 IP-10 Support

PolyView now offers support of the following IP-10 software versions,

Full support of:

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.

3.4 Radio Channel PMs

Radio Channel PMs (Performance Monitors) were added to the PM radio report.

PolyView creates a new sub-node under „Slot‟ under „Radio-1‟ (for IP-10G only) called Radio channels.

Per channel (1 up to Max number of channels) - the PolyView presents one PM “Channel UAS” PM +

“integrity” column (two columns per radio channel).

The value in seconds is: 0 - 900 (per 15 minutes).

Radio channel UAS PM is added to the CLI reports (Radio report)

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.

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.

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.

Page 19: PolyView Release Notes - N6.6.1

-- 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.

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.
