If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distribution system. Such a system contains an optical master unit and several remote units. The number of the remote units depends on the hardware and software configuration. The remote units are connected to the master unit with optical links. The optical loss must be less than 10 dB inclusive optical couplers or splitters. The master unit is the connection to the base transceiver stations. The configuration of a master unit depends on the number of the remote units and the frequency range. The optical transmission uses WDM-systems with a wavelength of 1550 nm in the Uplink and 1310 nm in the Downlink. 2.2 ION-M17P/17P/17P Andrew Solutions ION-M17P/17P/17P is a 3 sector single-box remote unit. It is used in conjunction with a master unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports 3 sectors (3 x 1700/2100 MHz) simultaneously, providing a cost-effective solution for distributing capacity from one or more base stations. The ION-M17P/17P/17P transports signals on the RF layer in a very inexpensive manner. This means that multiple operators and multiple technologies are moved simultaneously from a cluster of base stations to a remote location over the same fibre. The ION optical distribution system is a cost-effective coverage solution for dense urban areas, airports, high-rise buildings and other locations where physical structures increase path loss or provide limited space for installation. It has been specifically designed to reduce zoning problems and to provide homogeneous coverage. The compact, mechanical design is specifically architected to mount inside of or on poles and along side structures in such a way that it has a minimal visual impact. The ION-M platform has been specifically tested and optimized for CDMA2000. Furthermore it is provisioned for future improvements to the modulation and frequency bands. Page 13 User’s Manual for Remote Unit ION-M17P/17P/17P The ION is easily set-up and supervised via a graphical user interface (GUI). Remote units can be commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment. An autolevelling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and quick. The entire system may be monitored remotely via an Andrew OMC. This is a comprehensive management platform with SNMP protocol and X.733 standard implemented. Should a sophisticated interface not be required, the master unit can be directly connected to the alarm interface of a base station via relay alarming. • 3 sector multi-operator support • Reduced visual impact form factor • Efficient, high power amplifier • Single fibre for multiple sectors • Comprehensive operations and management system for configuration and alarming • OMC with SNMP according to X.733 standard • Easy installation and commissioning Page 14 M0132AKA_FCC.doc RS232 +28 VDC output 4 external alarms outputs 4 external alarms inputs 3 colors LED from / to Master Unit UL DL X12 X12 X12 X12 X3 X6 I²C +28 VDC X11 OTRX Control Unit RCM161 Fan Active Cooling Kit 4442 WDM Buffer Frequency Management UL/DL I²C Buffer RF + DC +28 VDC RF + DC +28 VDC I²C RF + DC +28 VDC Power Amplifier 3 I²C Power Amplifier 2 I²C 100 - 240 VAC Power Supply Unit Buffer Buffer Buffer Power Amplifier +28 VDC LNA LNA LNA DPX DPX DPX Duplexer Unit Mains Sector 3 Sector 2 Sector 1 3.1 Optical Module 3 Functional Description 3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION GENERAL The following figure shows the configuration of an ION-M17P/17P/17P remote unit. figure 3-1 Configuration of an ION-M17P/17P/17P remote unit Page 15 User’s Manual for Remote Unit ION-M17P/17P/17P 3.2 COMPONENTS OF THE ION-M17P/17P/17P REMOTE UNIT The actual configuration of the remote unit can be seen at the configuration list which is part of the delivery. 3.2.1 Components Inside the Unit The following figures show exemplary views of a fully equipped ION-M17P/17P/17P remote unit – except for the fan housing without cover – to illustrate the individual components.

This unit contains dangerous voltages. Loss of life, severe personal injury or property damage can be the result if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed. 2. It is compulsory to ground the unit before connecting power supply. A grounding bolt is provided on the cabinet to connect the ground-bonding cable. 3. Although the remote unit is internally protected against overvoltage, it is strongly recommended to earth the antenna cables close to the antenna connectors of the remote unit for protection against atmospheric discharge. In areas with strong lightning it is strongly recommended to insert additional lightning protection. 4. If the mains connector of the remote unit is not easily accessible, a disconnect device in the mains circuit must be provided within easy reach. 5. Before connecting or disconnecting the mains connector at the remote unit, ensure that mains supply is disconnected. 6. Make sure that an appropriate circuit breaker and an overcurrent limiting device are connected between mains and remote unit. 7. A connection of mains supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be nearby the remote unit. 8. Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components. 9. To avoid corrosion at the connectors caused by electrochemical processes, the material of the cable connectors must not cause a higher potential difference than 0.6 V (see electrochemical contact series). 10. It is sufficient to tighten the N-antenna connector hand-screwed. Any use of a tool (e.g. pair of pliers) might cause damage to the connector and thus lead to malfunctioning of the remote unit. 11. For unstabilized electric networks which frequently generate spikes, it is advised to use a voltage limiting device. 12. The unit complies with the surge requirement according to EN 61000-4-5 (fine protection); however, it is recommended to install an additional medium (via local supply connection) and/or coarse protection (external surge protection) depending on the individual application in order to avoid damage caused by overcurrent. 13.

For its location please refer to chapter 4.2.2 Connections. For mounting the cable connectors, it is recommended to refer to the corresponding documentation of the connector manufacturer. The bending radius of the antenna cables must remain within the given specifications. For the selection of cable and antenna it should be considered that, on the one hand, a cable with higher loss is less expensive but, on the other hand, it impairs performance. It is sufficient to tighten the N-type antenna connectors hand-tight. The use of a tool (like pliers) may cause damage to the connector and, therefore, lead to a malfunctioning of the remote unit. Page 28 M0132AKA_FCC.doc 4 Commissioning 4.2.5 Power Connection Before connecting electrical power to the units, the system must be grounded as described in the previous chapter. Mains power must be connected at the mains connector of the unit (see chapter 4.2.2 Connections). The power supply plug is part of the delivery. The correct wiring of the power supply plug is as follows: figure 4-9 AC mains plug figure 4-10 DC mains plug For the AC power supply connection, a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm2 is required and for the DC power supply connection, a minimum cross section of 2.5 mm2 is required. Each wire must observe the applicable national regulations regarding loop impedance, voltage drop, and methods of installation. Make sure to connect the correct voltage to the unit. ) Note: Do not connect or disconnect the power cord at the mains connector while power is on. Turn off mains * power before connecting the power cord at the remote unit, then, engage mains again. * Mains power must be interruptible with an external mains breaker. For the mains breaker, observe the following recommendation: 120 Volt / 20 Amp max. or 240 Volt / 16 Amp, single-phase, 50 / 60 Hz AC service is needed, i.e. the external AC breaker should be 20 Amps max. for 120-Volt service or 16 Amps for 240-Volt service. For the DC power supply, observe the local regulations of the DC service provider. Page 29 User’s Manual for Remote Unit ION-M17P/17P/17P 4.3 OPTICAL-FIBRE-CABLE CONNECTION - RULES Optical signals are transmitted by use of optical fibres. When connecting these fibres observe the following instructions. ) Note: Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fibreoptic cables. Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective caps on fibre-optic connectors not in use. In general, optical fibres do not need special protective measures. However, protection against environmental influences e.g. rodents and humidity must be considered. The optical fibre is a single mode fibre. Type is E9/125 µm with the following minimum requirements: Attenuation: <0.36 dB / km @ 1310 nm Dispersion: <3.5 ps / nm km @ 1310 nm <0.26 dB / km @ 1550 nm <18.0 ps / nm km @ 1550 nm The specified bending radius of the optical fibres must not be exceeded. The pigtails for the connection between master unit and remote unit must have a sufficient length. A protection for the feeding into units must be given. The system attenuation of the optical fibres, including the connectors, must not exceed 10 dB. System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. This can be achieved by measuring attenuation and reflection with an appropriate measuring instrument. For pigtails, a total value of < 0.4 dB (measured to a reference plug) can be assumed due to the dead zone of the reflectometer. These measurements must be made with a sufficient length of optical fibre, at the input and output of the device which has to be measured. Fibre-cable connectors have to be of the same type (E2000APC8°) as the connectors used for the unit. The fibre-optic cables are connected to the optical transceiver. Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors; non-compatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to both connectors. Before connecting the fibre cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care: Page 30 M0132AKA_FCC.doc 4 Commissioning ¾ Remove fibre-optic protective caps. ¾ Do not bend the fibre-optic cable in a tight radius (< 4 cm) as this may cause cable damage and interrupt transmission. ¾ Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of the fibre-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor interface box. ¾ Blow out the laser receptacle with clean and dry compressed air to remove any particulate matter. ¾ Connect the fibre-optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser receptacle and aligning the key (on the cable end) with the keyed slot. ¾ Do not use any index-matching gels or fluids of any kind in these connectors. Gels are intended for laboratory use and attract dirt in the field. 4.3.1 Protective Plug Connection: A protective plug is provided for the connection of the fibre-optic cables. figure 4-11 Protective-plug assembly ) Note: Only high-quality connectors must be used for this type of plug.

In case of an alarm they are high active (5 V). They can be used to monitor alarms with an external alarm indicator. The +28 V pin (for its location see figure 5-3 Flange connector, 7 poles) is protected by a 500 mA thermoswitch. In case of exceeding this current between pin 7 and GND and/or in case of a failure of the VSWR module, the thermoswitch turns into a highresistive status. Then no fuse needs to be replaced. Just wait a few minutes until the thermoswitch reaches the normal operating temperature again. ) Note: The manufacturer / supplier of this system accepts no liability for damage caused by equipment connected to external outputs or by effects from such equipment. Page 41 User’s Manual for Remote Unit ION-M17P/17P/17P With the external alarm inputs, it is possible to monitor the status of connected devices, e.g. a UPS, via software. All alarm inputs are normally high (5 V) without connection. The polarity (high/ low) can be set via the software at the Master Unit (for details please see according software manual). The device to be monitored must be connected so that the alarm contacts will be closed in case of an alarm (I max = 8 mA). The alarm inputs are potential-free with common ground. Subminiature circular connectors series 712 with five and seven contacts, which are contained in the alarm kit, can be ordered directly from the Binder Connector Group, the manufacturer, or indirectly from Andrew Wireless Systems.
