GENERAL
This document describes the IP BOX-B unit, its characteristics, its activation procedure and the relevant maintenance operations.
1.2
DESCRIPTION
The IP BOX unit is an equipment used in a TMN network to connect NE(s) to the Management System (SIAE - NMS5UX). It can be used as an IP or IP-OSI (IS-IS) router providing four interface types: RS232 Asynchronous serial interface RS422-V11 Synchronous serial interface ETHERNET LA N - 10Base T E1 line (nx64Kbit/s port or nx16Kbit/s into a 64Kbit/s time slot or 16Kbit/s using TS0)
In addition a USB (V1.0) port is reserved for LCT (Local Craft Terminal) access. Two software versions are available: 1. IP-BOX with IP communication stack 2. IP BOX with IP and OSI communication stack The IP Box is composed of a printed circuit board that can be housed: in a small metallic box with connectors placed on the front and rear panels (Fig.12). in a one unit (1U) 19" sub - rack (Fig.13)
Fig.11 represents a simplified block-diagram of the unit. This diagram shows the most important functional blocks and the relevant ports towards the IP network. The main functional blocks of the IP BOX are as follows: power supply; controller; FPGA - E1 Drop/Insert; Ethernet L2 Switch.
1.2.1
Power supply
The Power supply block of the IP BOX is composed of two DC/DC converters in cascade. The first one is devoted to transform the battery main voltage (20 72v DC range), coming from the ALARM LINES connector into 5v DC, while the second one converts this 5v DC into 3.3v DC. The electrical characteristics of the Power supply block are as follows: Primary voltage (ALARM LINES connector) Secondary voltages Power Consumption from 18 72v DC 5v DC, 3.3v DC less than 6W
1.2.2
Controller
The Controller block is composed of a 32 bit/50 MHz Motorola ColdFire micro-controller and the relevant memory benches The main characteristics of the controller block are as follows: Clock: Not Volatile Memory (Flash): Dynamic Memory: Serial Ports: 50 MHz 8 MBytes 32 MBytes 3
1.2.3
Drop/Insert
The Drop/Insert block is composed of a FPGA connected with the line interfaces of the input and output 2 Mbit/s streams. The IP BOX unit receives and transmits a 2 Mbit/s stream and it is able to drop and to insert a data stream into nx64Kb/s time slots of the 2Mbit/s signal or into an nx16Kb/s of a selected 64Kb/ s time slot or into the spare bits in Time Slot0. The Drop/Insert operations are executed by the FPGA under the direct control of the Controller block.
1.2.4
E1 Line interfaces
The line interfaces, present into the IP BOX unit, work with 2 Mbit/s HDB3 encoded streams. Each line interface has different functions related to the direction of the data stream and are referred to as INPUT and OUTPUT, their functions are as follows: input data - The interface regenerates the input signal and balances attenuation due to the cable as detailed by ITU G.703/G.704 specifications. output data - The interface provides a data stream with the electric characteristics detailed by ITU G.703/G.704 specifications.
f at 1024 kHz
If DC power is removed from the IP BOX unit, the unit becomes transparent to the 2 Mbit/s lines towards the user and the master station.
1.2.5
Ethernet L2 Switch
The IP-BOX has an Ethernet L2 Switch connecting the following ports: Micro processor Ethernet port Two 10BaseT external Ethernet ports Two Internal ports connectable to E1 ports or to RS422-64Kb/s port
It is possible to connect to each of the internal ports a serial frame generated by an nx64Kbit/s drop/insert signal on the E1s it is also possible to connect the 64Kb/s synchronous signal frame coming from RS422 port. The two Ethernet interfaces of the IP BOX unit follow specification 802.3 with MAU transceiver 10BaseT and standard RJ45 connector. The two Ethernet ports are configurable (using SCT) as: MDI" (Media Dependent Interface) "MDIX" (Media Dependent Interface with Crossover). "Auto Cross".

1.4
The IP BOX unit is managed through SNMP protocol using a proprietary MIB (Management Information Base) which details the managed objects. The SNMP v1 protocol is used in accordance with RFC 1157 spec; MIB description is according to V1 syntax, the unit is fully complaint with these specifications: RFC 1155 SMIv1 RFC 1156 MIB for Network Management RFC 1212 concise MIB definitions
According to the network type and customer requirements the IP BOX supporting SNMP protocol can be provided with two protocol stacks: a "Full IP stack" or an "OSI+IP stack". As an option the "Full IP stack" version supports dynamic IP routing through OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol. When implementing OSI+IP stack, layers 1 to 3 are compliant with the recommendations: Level3: ISO 8473, ISO 10589 IS-IS Level2: G.921 LAPD

TO OTHER NE
Fig.4 - LAN Interconnection The two Ethernet ports are connected to the L2 internal switch, both ports can be used to connect the IPBOX to the LAN or to another NE (Refer to Fig.4) The Asynchronous RS232 serial interfaces are programmed to support Point to Point Protocol (PPP) supporting Wide Area Network (WAN) interconnection using TCP/IP protocol. The maximum speed is 57.6Kb/s One of the two RS232 port can be configured to support synchronous RS422-V11, the maximum speed is 64Kb/s. The supported protocol is PPP for "Full IP" version or LAPD for "IP-OSI" version. The RS422-V11 port can be connected also to a port of the internal L2 switch The IP-BOX provides 2 x E1 G704 interfaces. On both of these it is possible to drop/insert: nx64Kb/s time slots nx16Kb/s within a 64Kb/s time slot TS0 spare bits
Because the IP BOX provides one serial controller, the operator has to select which E1 to connect. The supported protocol is PPP for "Full IP" version or LAPD for "IP-OSI" version. The maximum number of 64Kbit/s is four. It is mandatory the use of the serial controller (PPP or LAPD protocol) with TS0 spare bits and nx16Kbit/s Ohe nx64Kbit/s (n<=31) dropped/inserted from/to an E1 signal can be connected to an internal port of L2 Switch (Fig.11) and in this way it can be used to connect two remote IP-BOX (WAN interconnection between two Ethernet LAN switches). Two internal L2 switch ports are available (Fig.11), to these ports two TS Group (TSG1 and TSG2) can be connected. The two TSG can belong or not to the same E1. Using the "Lan per port" L2 switch feature it is possible to separate the traffic coming from the LAN ports and addressed to the internal CPU and/or to the two TSG. Fig.13 reports the SCT window used to configure E1 drop/insert features. The following page show different scenarios covered by the IP BOX's features.

Do not touch the bare hands until the circuit has been opened. pen the circuit by switching off the line switches. If that is not possible protect yourself with dry material and free the patient from the conductor.
2.1.1
Artificial respiration
It is important to start mouth resoutputtion at once and to call a doctor immediately. suggested procedure for mouth to mouth resoutputtion method is described in the Tab.3.
2.1.2
Treatment of burns
This treatment should be used after the patient has regained consciousness. It can also be employed while artificial respiration is being applied (in this case there should be at least two persons present).
Warning
Do not attempt to remove clothing from burnt sections Apply dry gauze on the burns Do not apply ointments or other oily substances.
19
Tab.3 - Artificial respiration Step Description Lay the patient on his back with his arms parallel to the body. If the patient is laying on an inclined plane, make sure that his stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients mouth and check that there is no foreign matter in mouth (dentures, chewing gum, etc.). Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put an hand under the patients head and one under his neck. 2 Lift the patients head and let it recline backwards as far as possible. Figure
Shift the hand from the patients neck to his chin and his mouth, the index along his jawbone, and keep the other fingers closed together. 3 While performing these operations take a good supply of oxygen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open
With your thumb between the patients chin and mouth keep his lips together and blow into his nasal cavities
While performing these operations observe if the patients chest rises. If not it is possible that his nose is blocked: in that case open the patients mouth as much as possible by pressing on his chin with your hand, place your lips around his mouth and blow into his oral cavity. Observe if the patients chest heaves. This second method can be used instead of the first even when the patients nose is not obstructed, provided his nose is kept closed by pressing the nostrils together using the hand you were holding his head with. The patients head must be kept sloping backwards as much as possible. Start with ten rapid expirations, hence continue at a rate of twelve/fifteen expirations per minute. Go on like this until the patient has regained consciousness, or until a doctor has ascertained his death.
2.2
