Interface Configuration Guide 7705 SAR Interfaces
Edition: 01 3HE 11011 AAAC TQZZA 143
The following parameters are configured on the MPR-e side:
• radio link parameters
• QoS classification parameters
Configuration done on the MPR-e side is collected in a configuration file; this file can
be saved to a 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18 using the Commit button function on the
MCT or an admin>save CLI command on the 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18.
MPR-e Radio Alarm Management
An MPR-e radio generates alarms for fault conditions pertaining to the MPR-e
hardware and to the microwave link over which it is connected. The alarms are sent
to the 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18, which turns the alarm notifications into SNMP
traps and log events. These log events are controlled in the same way as all other
events on the 7705 SAR-8 and 7705 SAR-18 and can be displayed using the
show>log>event-control>mwmgr command. Refer to the 7705 SAR System
Management Guide, “Event and Accounting Logs”, for more information.
MPR-e Radio Software and Upgrade Management
The Single NE capability optimizes the MPR-e radio software installation and
upgrade process. The MPR-e radio software is bundled with the 7705 SAR software
as one package, there is no need to look for and download the MPR-e radio software
separately. The 7705 SAR software package containing the MPR-e radio software
can be downloaded from a directory on OLCS. The operator can copy the software
package onto a compact flash or network store on the 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18.
MPR-e Radio Configuration Database File Management
An MPR-e radio’s database file is stored and backed up on a 7705 SAR-8 or
7705 SAR-18. If an old MPR-e radio is replaced by a new one, the new MPR-e radio
downloads the MPR-e radio software from the 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18, along
with the backed-up database file of the old MPR-e radio. This means that the
MPR-e radio does not need to be reconfigured after a radio hardware replacement.
Note: There are two TiMOS .zip files on OLCS that contain the current 7705 SAR software
package; the file that contains the MPR-e radio software has the .MWA annotation in the
filename. Only the MPR-e radio software that is bundled with this 7705 SAR software
package is recognized as being valid by the 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18.
