CrossFire iDAS – All-Digital Transport System

User Guide

Nano Power - CrossFire User Guide

1. Preface

1.1. Safety Instructions

Before installing and operating CrossFire, read and comply with the following safety instructions:

Engineering Design

CrossFire achieves signal amplification of the uplink and downlink through direct coupling of 2G, 3G

and LTE signals from a base station. The expansion unit accesses WLAN signals and combines these

signals with the BTS signal indoor coverage. Normal use of the system will not damage the base

station; however, additive uplink noise resulting from the use of many NPRUs may affect the sensitivity

of the base station, which should be considered during engineering design.

Grounding

The chassis of the access and expansion units have protective ground terminals. During installation,

connect the ground terminals securely to the protective building ground with yellow and green

conductors or with braided ground wire. Also, the aerial and feeder must be adequately grounded.

Power Supply

The power source must be within the required range of the device. The rated voltage range for the AC

power supply system is 100 ~ 240VAC and the rated frequency range is 50Hz / 60Hz. The rated power

of the AU, EU-E and NPRU is 80W, 100W and 65W, respectively. The ground terminal of the

three-core power socket used at the device installation site must be securely connected to the

protective building ground.

Electric Shock Prevention

Touching the internal power supply units is dangerous. To prevent electric shock, do not perform

live-line work.

Optical Module

While fiber optic power levels used in this system are very low, it is advisable to avoid exposing the

human eye to the laser light emanating from a fiber port or plug.

Device Configuration

Prior to upgrading and plugging in units and parts, first disconnect the standby lithium battery and

power source.

BTS Downlink Signals

Signals coupled from the BTS shall be no greater than +15dBm, otherwise the device will not operate

normally and damage may occur to the circuit.

Convection Cooling

Reserve at least 40mm of height above the radiation fins during device installation, otherwise the

device temperature may rise and affect the service life of the device.

2. System Overview

2.1. Overview

The CrossFire NP system is a distributed antenna system (DAS). It consists of Access Unit (AU), Expansion

Unit-Ethernet (EU-E) and Nano Power Remote Unit (NPRU). It splits the transmitted power among several

antenna elements installed in the distributed environment, separated in space so as to provide coverage

over the ideal area with reduced total power and improved reliability.

Combining digital processing and digital optical transmission technology, the AU is able to process

radio-frequency signals of different operators with different standards and frequency bands from base

station, and transmits composite signal to EU-E in optical port. EU-E reframes signal and transmits it to

NPRU via 10 Gigabit Ethernet port. After digital-analog conversion and power amplification in NPRU, radio

signal covers required area through the antenna-feeder system.

The optical connector unit includes an optical module and optical fibre. Figure 7-2 shows that when using a

pair of single optical fibre-modules, the wavelength of the two modules is different, for example 1271nm &

1331nm are two wavelength of a pair of Bidirectional Optical Fiber Module. See Table 7-1 for the optical

fibre module corresponding to each port. Every time connecting two devices, check optical transceiver

indicators of both devices. The green indicators mean two devices are synchronized. When the optical

module is unplugged or not synchronized, the indicators are red as shown in the left pair of indicators in

Each pair (2) of optical module cages has four LED indicator arrows. Two arrows on the left are green and

two on the right are red as shown in Figure 7-3. The indicator arrows represent the synchronization status of

the upper and lower optical modules. When optical module A has synchronized with module B (both uplink

and downlink), the indicators turn green as shown in the right pair of indicators in Figure 7-3. When the

optical module is unplugged or not synchronized, the indicators are red as shown in the left pair of indicators

in Figure 7-3. Check whether both indicators turn green after connecting one pair of optical modules. If they

are red, the terminal has not synchronized.

7.1.2. AU Connections

Prior to attempting the AU connections, read Section 4 thoroughly.

The AU has eight optical ports, designated by eight silk-screened images: AU1, AU2, OP1/AU, OP2, OP3,

OP4, OP5 and OP6. The ports OP1~OP6 all have the same functionality, providing connections to lower

level EU-Es. Insert the optical module into any one of the OP1~OP6 ports, then insert the tail of the optical

fiber into the optical module and connect the other end to the lower level EU-E. After the AU and EU-E are

connected and powered on, the optical interface indicator LED will turn green, which indicates that the

devices are synchronized. If the optical indicator LED stays red, check whether the connection direction of

the optical fiber is correct and the optical module is inserted tightly.

The AU1 and AU2 optical ports are for connecting to the slave AU. Before connecting a Slave AU to Master

AU, access to Slave AU independently (see Section 3.2 for instructions how to access the WebOMT of

Slave AU). Ensure the Device Type of this AU is Slave AU and then plug optical fiber module.

Note: The connection between the Master AU and the Slave AU can only be from the OP1/AU port on the

Slave AU to the AU1 (or AU2) port on the Master AU; other optical ports are invalid for Master-Slave AU

connections.

7.1.3. EU-E Connections

Prior to attempting the EU-E connections, read Section 5 thoroughly.

The EU-E has 2 optical ports, 12 GE ports and 12 10GE ports. The optical SLAVE port should be connected

to Master AU or an upper level EU-E and the optical MASTER port should be connected in a cascading

manner to a lower level EU-E in a daisy chain. (Refer to the networking definition of a daisy chain.) The

10GE1~12 ports have the same functionality and are all used for connections to NPRUs. After an EU-E is

connected to a upper level device and powered on, the device are synchronized when the optical indicator

LED turns green.

Each EU-E has 12 GE ports, GE1~GE12, which support 12 LAN signals. Each GE port corresponds to a

specific 10GE port, for example, port GE1 corresponds to port 10GE1 and port GE12 corresponds to port

10GE12.

7.1.4. NPRU Connections

Prior to attempting the NPRU connections, read Section 6 thoroughly.

The NPRU has 10GE and GE ports. The 10GE port is connected to an upper level EU-E with CAT-6 STP

whose length shall be up to 100 meters and GE port is connected to a PC or monitor with CAT-5. After the

NPRU has been connected to the upper EU-E and powered on, the device are synchronized when the

optical indicator LED turns green.

8.3. Band Configuration for Mapping

NPRU supports a range of 700 ~ 2700 MHz signal for downlink and uplink. And it is not set any band class

as default. Therefore it is most important to set Band Configuration in EU-E OMT to create mapping

between AU and NPRU, which should be done before CrossFire system start to operate.

This section instructs how to set Band Configuration in EU-E OMT for mapping.

1. Get access to OMT on EU-E.

2. Select Band Configuration tab and check the AU Frequencies Information and AU Carrier

Configuration for choosing appropriate modules to map. (See Figure 8-5)

3. Set RF Module Mapping Configuration: (See Figure 8-6)

a. Select 10GE Port which is physically used for connection to NPRU in GE Port.

b. Set appropriate mapping for each NPRU Module.

c. Select GE Port and all NPRU Module checkbox and click Set in pop-up window to save the

configuration.

8.4. Module Gain Adjustment

After setting the band properties, input RF signals into system. In CrossFire, the downlink input power of the

AU is specified as 0dBm and the maximum allowable input power is 15dBm. Therefore, estimate the signal

power before input RF signals. Monitor the downlink input power with a spectrum analyzer or check the

downlink input power in Combiner of the WebOMT in order to set attenuation for the downlink input power

within the appropriate range. The adjustable attenuation value of each AU Module is 30dB, which can be

set in Settings -> System Info -> Module X for each module or Settings -> Combiner -> Module X for

each port of module.See Figure 8-8 and Figure 8-9 for details.

8.5. Isolation Detector

Antenna to antenna isolation is a key consideration in the design of Crossfire NPRU System. Sufficient

isolation is required to ensure that interference between antennas is kept within acceptable levels (Tx

antenna to Rx antenna isolation shall be over 45dBm; higher values are preferred for equipment to operate

effectively).

The Crossfire NPRU system provides isolation detector for measuring isolation between antennas via the

following procedures:

1. In the AU WebOMT, go to Maintenance > Engineering > Isolation Detector.

2. Select Tx1 in Isolation ANT Switch, type Detecting Frequency and then enable Isolation Detector

Switch.

3. Click Set in pop-up window to validate the paramete. And then Query all to obtain measured values in

Rx1/2 Isolation between Tx and Rx.

9. Software Upgrade

The Master AU consolidates the management of software upgrades for the entire system and saves the

last software package information for AU, EU-E and NPRU shown as Figure 9-1. Slave devices will

compare the local software with latest information saved in Master AU by checking CRC at run time. If the

CRC is different, slave devices will be synchronized via current software package from Master AU.

Therefore, when a slave device is replaced, its software will be upgraded automatically without any

additional operation.

Note: If it is the Master AU to be replaced in a system, check software version of the new Master AU before

connecting it to the system. If the software version is not the latest version, upload the latest software

packages to the new Master AU.
