Upgrading an unprotected link to 1+1 Hot Standby
This section describes how to upgrade an existing unprotected link to use the 1+1 Hot
Standby link protection feature.
Although the disruption to an existing link can be minimized, this process cannot be
carried out without interrupting the operation of the link.
The following actions will interrupt link operation:
•
Upgrading the software. This can be carried out in advance of hardware installation.
Alternatively during the installation after the inactive units have been installed and
when the inactive units are providing an operational link, the existing units may be
upgraded and configured.
•
Installing a second ODU on the coupler if a single antenna is used at each end.
•
Aligning antennas when antenna protection is implemented. As the new antennas
operate on the same frequencies as the existing ones, alignment cannot be performed
while the existing antennas run an operational link.
•
Other operations if working close to an antenna.
•
Testing that the protection is working correctly by forcing protection switchovers.
If configuration is carried out on site, then before the new units are taken to site, radio
transmission should be inhibited as described in
Disabling wireless transmission
. This prevents possible interference with the existing operational unit.
