The Support chapter contains five parts:
- Maintenance and Technical Support (9.2)
- Training (9.3)
- Installation (9.4)
- Documentation (9.5)
- Spares (9.6)
- Test and Development Facilities (9.7)
Christian Rovsing's support organisation Integrated
Logistics Support Department (ILS) has total responsibility
for above functions.
The ACDN Program is unique in the respect that ILS
has an overseas subcontractor CNCP Telecommunications
to carry out equipment installation and maintenance.
At time of bidding ILS has a Norwegian subcontractor
to undertake site design and preparation on a NATO
program comprising 16 mainsites and 22 remote locations
throughout Europe.
The Maintenance and Technical Support section describes
the Maintenance Planning taking place at Christian
Rovsing. An overview of the maintenance documentation
is presented and CNCP's maintenance activities at the
three sites described.
The Training Section explains how Christian Rovsing
will train CNCP's computer technicians as well as Air
Canadas personnel. A matrix is presented providing
an overview of personnel category vs required courses.
Finally, the 5 proposed courses are described by stating
the objectives of the course and the prerequisites
of the participants.
The installation section describes the activities of
Christian Rovsing and CNCP relating to installation.
CNCP will receive initial training at Christian Rovsing
and perform the installation at the three sites. Prior
to that, CNCP and Christian Rovsing will perform site
surveys and submit to Air Canada the Civil Works Requirement
(CWR) documentation. The CWR will specify how Air
Canada must prepare the site (equipment room) before
installation of equipment.
The documentation section presents how Christian Rovsing
proposes to develop the documentation for ACDN. The
build-up of the documentation generally follows the
standard applicable for communication systems developed
by Christian Rovsing.
9.2 M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲T̲e̲c̲h̲n̲i̲c̲a̲l̲ ̲S̲u̲p̲p̲o̲r̲t̲
9.2.1 R̲e̲q̲u̲i̲r̲e̲m̲e̲n̲t̲s̲ ̲A̲n̲a̲l̲y̲s̲i̲s̲
Based on the requirements stated in the RFP, the system
proposed by Christian Rovsing, their previous experience
with similar systems and CNCP Telecommunications' experience
in providing and maintaining computer controlled communications
systems, the following major requirements can be stated:
1) Emergency corrective maintenance at each node must
be to the board level.
2) Qualified maintenance personnel available at each
node. Minimum of one resident technician at NCC.
3) Additional qualified maintenance personnel available
for emergency situations.
4) Extensive use of Maintenance and Diagnostic Software
for hardware fault isolation.
5) The maintenance concept combined with the proposed
hardware/software concept shall insure the required
availability.
6) Christian Rovsing shall prepare a Maintenance Plan
based on the final system configuration and submit

9.2.2 M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲ ̲P̲l̲a̲n̲n̲i̲n̲g̲
The purpose of the Maintenance Planning Phase is to
establish a complete maintenance program which will
fulfil the contractual requirements for maintenance
and insure system reliability and availability to Air
Canada. Simultaneously it shall provide a solid base
for the development of the detailed maintenance documentation.
During the planning phase Christian Rovsing will be
working closely with their maintenance sub-contractor
to insure:
a) continuous resident support at the Network Control
Centre
b) adequate training programs for support staff
c) availability of maintenance specialist for emergency
situations
d) a multi-layered level of support during and after
installation of the equipment.
e) availability of Recommended Spare Parts
f) availability of Tools and Test Equipment
g) the development of a comprehensive maintenance
plan.
Fig. III 9.2.2-1 illustrates the contents of the documentation
available at the close of the planning phase.
9.2.2.1 M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲ ̲P̲l̲a̲n̲
a) I̲n̲t̲r̲o̲d̲u̲c̲t̲i̲o̲n̲
The basic philosophy used in the configuration
of the system for Air Canada is to enable maintenance,
both preventive and emergency, to be performed
with a minimum of system downtime thereby meeting
the availability requirements. This is achieved
through the use of redundant hardware modules and
by extensive use of the board swap principle once
the sophisticated fault detection software has
isolated a faulty assembly.
b) M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲ ̲E̲n̲g̲i̲n̲e̲e̲r̲i̲n̲g̲
Maintenance engineering describes the effort in
the area of maintenance and support necessary prior
to the installation of the equipment.
Fig. III 9.2.2-1
Maintenance Planning Activities…86…1 …02… …02… …02…
The general approach to preventive maintenance
is that the applicable procedures are referenced
via an overall system maintenance sheet incorporated
in the various technical manuals. The special
tools and test equipment which will be used for
maintenance are listed and their applications shown
through scenarios displaying the structure of the
hardware with breakpoints.
A failure reporting system will be generated and
maintained throughout the warranty period. Incorporated
in this system are
- failure reports which will be filled in at
the installations and used in the screening
of systematic errors and used to modify the
spare parts stock
- a log book which will be located at each installation
- Field Change Notices used as applicable for
updating of the systems.
c) O̲n̲-̲S̲i̲t̲e̲ ̲M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲
On-site maintenance will be provided by Christian
Rovsing's sub-contractor, CNCP Telecommunications.
The technicians selected to perform these tasks
each have several years experience in supporting
similar systems. The technicians will, through
formal training courses, be capable of carrying
out preventive maintenance both on the CR80 equipment
and the connected peripherals. The preventive
maintenance required on the CR80 equipment is restricted
to simple tasks such as cleaning of dust filters,
inspection of LED's etc. Emergency maintenance
will typically be carried out on a module exchange
basis. The trouble shooting techniques developed
for the system configuration will enable the maintenance
personnel to isolate and replace modules in the
CR80 equipment within one hour. Also the technicians
will perform modifications according to Field Change
Notices.
d) M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲ ̲M̲a̲n̲a̲g̲e̲m̲e̲n̲t̲
The service technicians at the nodes will be trained
to carry out 1st level maintenance consisting of
preventive and emergency maintenance as previously
described. In most cases logic boards with known
faults will be returned to Christian Rovsing for
repair and then …86…1 …02… …02… …02…
returned to the spare parts complement of the node.
In some instances faulty modules, i.e. power supply,
fan assembly, will be repaired on-site. Christian
Rovsing will provide 2nd and 3rd level maintenance
through field service engineers, inhouse repair
facilities, and software maintenance support.
9.2.2.2 M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲ ̲D̲o̲c̲u̲m̲e̲n̲t̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲
The maintenance documentation developed for this program
is shown in fig. III 9.2.2.2-1.
9.2.2.3 R̲e̲c̲o̲m̲m̲e̲n̲d̲e̲d̲ ̲S̲p̲a̲r̲e̲ ̲P̲a̲r̲t̲s̲ ̲L̲i̲s̲t̲ ̲(̲R̲S̲P̲L̲)̲
During the maintenance planning phase the RSPL will
be prepared based on an analysis of the H/W. At the
end of the planning phase the RSPL will be submitted
to Air Canada for approval. Hereafter it will be referred
to as the Approved Spare Parts List (ASPL). Delivery
of the spares will take place simultaneously with the
installation of the equipment at each location. It
will be based on our current predictions of the failure
rate of the CR80D modules and their MTBF values supplemented
by our experience from similar projects. In its final
form the RSPL will be composed of
- CR80D modules
- Special OEM equipment
- Standard OEM equipment
The recommendation of the spares complement for the
CR80D modules is based on wellknown calculation formulas
for probabilities.
The recommendation of spares for the special OEM equipment
is based on the manufacturer's RSPL.
The recommendation of spares for the standard OEM equipment
is based on our experience from similar projects.
The price will typically amount to 10% of the equipment
price.
9.2.2.4 T̲o̲o̲l̲s̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲T̲e̲s̲t̲ ̲E̲q̲u̲i̲p̲m̲e̲n̲t̲ ̲L̲i̲s̲t̲
During the maintenance planning phase a list of special
tools and test equipment (TE) will be prepared based
on an analysis of the H/W breakdown of the system.
The list will be incorporated as an appendix to the
maintenance plan and submitted to Air …86…1 …02…
…02… …02…
Fig. III 9.2.2.2-1…01…Maintenance Documentation…86…1 …02… …02… …02…
Canada at the end of the planning phase. The special
tools and TE will be available at the sites during
the installation phase of the equipment.
The special tools and TE employed during maintenance
of the ACDN will be rather few due to the proposed
maintenance philosophy. Please refer to section 9.2.3.2,
Emergency Maintenance. Consequently, the only test
equipment necessary will be bus analysers. The following
analysers are proposed.
- V24 Communication Tester (RS 232-C)
- Signature Analyser
No special tools and TE are contemplated for the emergency
maintenance of the peripherals, however, some special
tools may be necessary for preventive maintenance.
9.2.3 M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲ ̲A̲c̲t̲i̲v̲i̲t̲i̲e̲s̲
9.2.3.1 P̲r̲e̲v̲e̲n̲t̲i̲v̲e̲ ̲M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲
Preventative maintenance will be carried out by Christian
Rovsing's sub-contractor, CNCP Telecommunications,
in accordance with the procedures established in the
maintenance manual. The preventive maintenance required
on the CR80 equipment is restricted to cleaning of
dust filters, inspection of LED's etc. and the implementation
of modifications according to field change notices.
The overall design of the system utilizing redundant
hardware will insure that preventive maintenance will
have a minimal effect on the performance of the system.
9.2.3.2 E̲m̲e̲r̲g̲e̲n̲c̲y̲ ̲M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲
Emergency maintenance, i.e. fault identification and
module replacement will be carried out by the trained
technicians of Christian Rovsing's sub-contractor,
CNCP Telecommunications. Repair of defective subassemblies
will be undertaken by Christian Rovsing at no cost
to Air Canada during the warranty period, and thereafter
any charges will be regulated by the terms and conditions
stated in the maintenance contract.
Implementation of field changes will be done by CNCP
technicians after instructions from Christian Rovsing.
Isolation of faulty subassemblies is accomplished by
the use of both on-line and off-line diagnostic software
programs. As stated elsewhere in this proposal, on-line
error detection programs will detect hardware faults
when they occur. This is accomplished both by background
checks and error detection during data transfer from
one subsystem to another. Depending on the type of
fault the "Watchdog" subsystem will reconfigure the
system designating the standby processor as active.
The defective subsystem is now off-line where further
fault diagnosis can take place in the event the on-line
diagnostic program did not give specific error identifications
pinpointing a specific module. The off-line diagnostic
program provides for a much more thorough check of
the various elements of a subsystem. In addition,
this program will be used to verify repaired modules.
9.2.3.3 M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲ ̲E̲f̲f̲o̲r̲t̲
The estimated maintenance effort at the Toronto site
will be 240 hours per month. Full-time on site coverage,
as specified in the RFP, will be provided from the
pool of colocated CNCP computer technicians.
It is estimated that the total preventive and corrective
maintenance effort at the Montreal and Winnipeg sites
will be 60 and 55 hours per month, respectively.
The total maintenance requirements could subsequently
be marginally adjusted upward or downward, depending
on the actual experience recorded by the sub-contractor,
CNCP.
9.2.3.4 P̲e̲r̲s̲o̲n̲n̲e̲l̲ ̲Q̲u̲a̲l̲i̲f̲i̲c̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲s̲
In case Air Canada elects to undertake all maintenance,
the following personnel qualifications are applicable:
- Computer technician with a minumum of 5 years experience
in similar positions.
- participation in all training courses applicable
for the system.
9.2.4 T̲e̲c̲h̲n̲i̲c̲a̲l̲ ̲S̲u̲p̲p̲o̲r̲t̲
This section describes the Christian Rovsing support
which will complement the maintenance program through
the warranty period and on.
9.2.4.1 H̲a̲r̲d̲w̲a̲r̲e̲ ̲S̲u̲p̲p̲o̲r̲t̲

9.3.2.3 D̲e̲v̲e̲l̲o̲p̲m̲e̲n̲t̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲C̲o̲u̲r̲s̲e̲s̲
After the project definition phase, during which the
Integrated Training Plan is written, the following
documentation is developed:
a) T̲r̲a̲i̲n̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲P̲l̲a̲n̲
Each course is described in detail in a Training
Plan, which includes subsets of the course material.
b) C̲o̲u̲r̲s̲e̲ ̲O̲b̲j̲e̲c̲t̲i̲v̲e̲s̲
To define what the student must learn during the
course, the following is required:
1) The Skills and Knowledge Specification, defining
the outcome of the course.
2) Entry Standard, defining what the student is
able to do, and his knowledge before the course
start.
3) The Training and Enabling Objectives, which
define the gap between 1) and 2) above and
the targets of the training.
c) I̲n̲s̲t̲r̲u̲c̲t̲o̲r̲'̲s̲ ̲M̲a̲n̲u̲a̲l̲
This manual consists of two volumes for each course.
Volume 1 contains:
a) The Training Plan outlining the course, which
is the instrument for development of the Instructor's
Guide Sheets.
b) The Instructor's Guide Sheets and the Lesson
Plans.
Volume 2 contains all the reference material (apart
from selfcontained manuals, guides, etc.), i.e.
visual aids, questionaires, test items, and other
hand-outs. All this material will be referenced
by the Lesson Plans.
d) I̲n̲s̲t̲r̲u̲c̲t̲o̲r̲'̲s̲ ̲G̲u̲i̲d̲e̲ ̲S̲h̲e̲e̲t̲
To establish the outcome of a lesson (or possibly
a set of lessons), the Instructor's Guide Sheet
specifies the planned outcome of the lesson(s),
the training method which could be used, aids and
references, enabling collection of necessary items
before the lesson is held. This sheet is the baseline
of the Lesson Plan(s).
e) T̲h̲e̲ ̲L̲e̲s̲s̲o̲n̲ ̲P̲l̲a̲n̲
All the Lesson Plans of a course, together with
the Instructor's Guide Sheet, form the detailed
guide for the instruction of the class, and together
they make up the entire course.
The Lesson Plan defines the main points of the
instruction listed by key points (key words).
The duration of each main point is indicated, the
method of instruction is marked, and the appropriate
references to manuals, aids, tests, slides, etc.
are noted.
The lesson plan, therefore, maps all planned events
during the lesson.
9.3.3 T̲r̲a̲i̲n̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲A̲c̲t̲i̲v̲i̲t̲i̲e̲s̲
Training of the different personnel categories will
be planned, so the training is concluded in advance
of the installation of the network in question.
The maintenance training is concluded in advance of
CNCP's upstart of training in Canada.
The courses are conducted at Christian Rovsing's facilities
on equipment, which is later installed in Air Canada's
network. Optionally, courses can be conducted at the
network installations after site acceptance test.
The number of students per class will be limited to
10, unless other agreements are made. It is Christian
Rovsing's experience that 5 teams of each 2 students
is optimum, considering availability of training equipment.
9.3.3.1 T̲r̲a̲i̲n̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲T̲e̲c̲h̲n̲i̲q̲u̲e̲s̲
The main principle of Christian Rovsing's courses is
that student centered training methods are used wherever
possible.
To evaluate the outcome of the courses, oral questions,
quizzes and tests are used during the courses, and
a final practical and theoretical test is performed
by the participants.
The following training methods are used during the
courses:
a) Group-work: Specific tasks are distributed in
writing to the groups to work on.
The tasks may be theoretical or
practical examinations of the various
topics.
b) Reports: The groups report the results of
their tasks in a group session.
c) Discussion: The results of the groups are discussed
by the class under guidance of the
instructor.
d) Lecture: Lectures are used (limited) for outlining
the basic rules for a given topic.
e) Informal
talk: Informal talk is invoked to obtain
feed-back to the instructor on the
outcome of the instruction.
f) Hands-on: Practical work is used extensively,
as this is the best way to implement
the use of theoretical knowledge
on the various topics covered by
other training methods. In the same
way, the instructor gets feed-back
on the student's understanding of
the topics covered in the instruction.
g) Tests: Tests and questionnaires are used
frequently, as these are highly motivating
and underline important points of
the instruction.
9.3.3.2 T̲r̲a̲i̲n̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲M̲a̲t̲e̲r̲i̲a̲l̲
Christian Rovsing offers to supply the following training
material for courses conducted by Christian Rovsing:
a) Student Reference Guides, containing extracts of

b) Student Hand-out, i.e. information relevant to
the lesson in progress, tests, quizzes, tasks for
group-sessions and similar items.
c) Library. A complete library is available in the
classroom for reference by the students. The library
consists of documentation relevant for the type
of course conducted.

9.4.3 I̲n̲s̲t̲a̲l̲l̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ ̲A̲c̲t̲i̲v̲i̲t̲i̲e̲s̲
9.4.3.1 T̲r̲a̲n̲s̲p̲o̲r̲t̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲
a) The delivery of equipment will follow the master
schedule. Actual shipping dates are selected to
be in accordance with the readiness of site and

c) The packing and marking are proposed to be in accordance
with Christian Rovsing's standard procedures for
CR80 equipment. The following is a brief discussion
of the method:
d) The computer equipment is constructed in a modular
fashion, i.e. 19" racks containing crate assemblies
with plug-in modules. This is reflected in the
packaging as follows:
1) Modules are packed in styrofoam containers
designed to fit each module size. A number
of modules are put into a cardboard box or
similar of Europe pallet standard size (see
figure III 9.4.3.1-1).
2) Crates are packed with styrofoam corners so
that they fit into a cardboard box of Europe
pallet standard size (see figure III 9.4.3.1-2).
3) Each rack or cabinet bay is separately packed
on a wooden pallet, protected with styrofoam
corners, and wrapped in plastic sheets. A
skeleton of timber protects the five free surfaces
(see figure III 9.4.3.1-3).
e) Packing lists are forwarded with every shipping
container. One copy of the packing list is enclosed
in the container; one copy will be attached to
the exterior of the container in an envelope clearly
marked "packing list".
f) Each container is to be clearly marked on the exterior
surface with at least:
- purchaser identification
- manufacturer's name and address
- shipping address

b) Christian Rovsing's sub-contractor, CNCP Telecommunications,
will set up an installation team to perform the
installation at all three sites. The team will
be working in accordance with the detailed installation
procedures.
c) The team will install the equipment in accordance
with the Air Canada approved installation drawings.
Any changes during installation will be marked
on the drawings. Corrected drawings will be submitted
to Air Canada after completion of site installation.
d) Installation check-out encompassing hardware verification
will be performed in accordance with an installation
check-out procedure. This task will complete the
installation and indicate the start of acceptance
test.
9.4.3.3 T̲y̲p̲i̲c̲a̲l̲ ̲L̲a̲y̲o̲u̲t̲
A typical equipment room layout of the Toronto installation
is shown in figure III 9.4.3.3-1. Room layout of the
Montreal and Winnipeg installations are shown on the
following figures III 9.4.3.3-2 and -3.
The equipment shown in the Toronto layout comprises:
- 2 Nodal Control Processor (NCP) Racks
- 5 Nodal Switch Processor (NSP) Racks
- 4 Electronic Mail Host (EMH)
Computer Racks
- 1 EMH Disc Cabinet
- 3 Network Management Host (NMH)
- Computer Racks
- 1 NMH Disc Cabinet
- 4 Color Displays
- 9 Visual Display Units (VDU)
- 4 Medium Speed Printers (MSP)
- 1 Line Printer (LP)
The tables and chairs shown on the layout have not
been quoted.
The layout presented in figure III 9.4.3.3-1 shows
two equipment rooms separated by a glass wall or a
wall with windows. The idea is to keep the noise level
low in the operator area by installing the computer
equipment separated from the control centre. A double
door combines the two areas. The tape decks and disk
drives, which have most often to be serviced, are installed
close to the door. The development and test area can
easily be separated from the network control centre
by a new wall. The computer equipment and control centre
equipment have been placed in functional groups and
as can be seen there is provided room for growth within
each group. The projected growth has been dotted on
the layout.
The racks are positioned such that sufficient clearance
is maintained for access to front and rear of the equipment.
Otherwise, only few constraints as to the placement
of the equipment exist. The final layout will take
into account human factors, segregation of functional
activities, access for maintenance and other considerations
or preferences of the operating personnel.
One of the tasks to be performed at site surveys as
mentioned earlier is to work out the optimal layout
in conjunction with customer.
The typical layout reflects the floor space required
by cabinets and the operator positions. The Toronto
layout is made on a 9.5 x 12.5 m area. The access dimensions
for racks and terminal equipment are shown on figure
III 9.4.3.3-4 thru 5.
It is anticipated that the equipment room will be provided
with a computer floor. The heaviest rack is well within
the standard floor load limit of 1000 Kp/m…0e…2…0f… for computer
floors as can be seen from the following calculation:
Floor load of heaviest rack:
W̲e̲i̲g̲h̲t̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ …0f…=…0e… ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲3̲0̲0̲ ̲k̲g̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ …0f…= 476 kg/m…0e…2
Floor space 0.6 x 1.05 m…0e…2…0f…
Since the rack is provided with access space at front
and rear, the distributed floor load is considerable
smaller.
The proposed racks can also accomodate overhead cabling
in case the equipment room is without a false floor,
i.e. either top or bottom cable entrance can be used.
All equipment is mounted in standard 19" racks except
for the disc units which are contained within accoustic
cabinets. The dimensions are shown in table III 9.4.3.3-1
thru 3.
The equipment is cooled by fans with intake in the
front and exhaust at the top as shown in figure III
9.4.3.3-6. The heat dissipation figures are given
in table III 9.4.3.3-4 thru 6..
Power to equipment is fed from individual fuse-protected
208VAC or 110VAC outlets. The required power supply
for equipment and equipment rooms is given in table
III 9.4.3.3-4 thru 7. The power supply characteristics
are given in Chapter 8, where also other environmental
characteristics are listed.

Site acceptance is the act whereby customer will acknowledge
by protocol that CR has fully demonstrated that a site
is ready and complete for operation and will take place
when the following requirements have been met:
- Completion of the agreed on-site acceptance test
as specified in the Acceptance Test Procedures.
This test will, in case no real data is available,
be performed with simulated data and will constitute
a relevant subset of the Formal Factory Acceptance
Test.
- Verification of the site inventory.
- If applicable, availability of a mutually agreed-upon
discrepancy list showing the agreed date for clearance
of each listed discrepancy.

develop a Recommended Spare Parts List (RSPL). The
RSPL reflects the philosophy stated above in conjunction
with the system design and Air Canada's requirements.
The RSPL will be discussed at a Provisionary Conference
between Air Canada, Christian Rovsing and CNCP Telecommunications
in order to establish the "Approved Spare Parts List"
(ASPL).
Spares will be delivered to each site at the time of
installation.
Spares will be maintained at all three sites, with
the emphasis being placed at the Toronto site due to
the amount of equipment resident in Toronto. The Toronto
site will be classified as the main depot for spares
and will provide spare parts on an emergency basis
to the other two sites.
