2.2.1 Primary Components
The DRU consists of an electronic circuit board assembly that is mounted within apowder-
coated sheet metal enclosure. The metal enclosure provides amounting point for the electronic
assembly, serves as aheat sink, and controls RF emissions. Except for the optical transceiver,
the DRU components are not field replaceable. The DRU is designed for use within a non-
condensing indoor environment such as inside abuilding. All controls, connectors, and
indicators (except the SMA antenna connector) are mounted on the DRU front panel for
convenient access.
2.2.2 Mounting
The DRU is equipped with four integral mounting feet that allow it to be mounted on any flat
horizontal or vertical surface. Atypical location for mounting the DRU would be on a ceiling
or a wall. The DRU may also be installed in spaces used for environmental air such as the
space over a suspended ceiling or beneath a raised floor. Slots are provided in the mounting
feet for securing the DRU to the mounting surface.
2.2.3 Fault Detection
The DRU detects internal circuitry faults or loss of system inputs. A front panel LED indicator
turns from green to red when afault condition is detected or when the optical input is lost. The
DRU sends the fault information to the DHU or DEU over the reverse path optical fiber. A
corresponding port LED at the DHU or DEU turns from green to red when the DRU reports a
fault.
2.2.4 Antenna Connection
The RF signal interface between the DRU and the cellular users is provided through an
external antenna. An SMA connector is provided for connecting the DRU to the antenna. The
antenna must be ordered separately. Several types of antennas with various RF propagations
are available. Non-ADC antennas may also be used with the DRU to meet various application
requirements.
2.2.5 Optical Port
The DRU is equipped with asmall form factor LC-type optical transceiver for connecting the
optical fibers. Each transceiver is color-coded to identify whether it supports single-mode
(blue) or multi-mode (black/beige) fiber. Depending on the application requirements, the
optical port may be connected to either aDHU or a DEU. The modular optical transceiver is
available separately as an accessory item and is field replaceable.
2.2.6 Powering
The DRU is equipped with afemale RJ-45 jack that provides aconnection point for the DC
power cable. The DRU is powered by 34–48 Vdc power which is supplied through the RJ-45

connector. Power to the DRU may be supplied by the DHU, DEU, or by a 120 Vac to 48 Vdc
power converter (available separately as an accessory item) plugged into a properly grounded
120 Vac outlet. The ac/dc converter is aUL Listed stand-alone Limited Power Supply (LPS)
unit with arated output of 48 Vdc at 1.2 Amps. When powered by the DHU or DEU, a
category 3 or 5 twisted-pair cable terminated with RJ-45 connectors is required.
2.2.7 Cooling
The DRU is cooled by natural convection air flow. The DRU mounting feet are designed to provide
clearance under the unit so that air can enter the DRU enclosure from the bottom and exit through
the top. Aminimum clearance of 3inches (76 mm) must be provided on all sides of the DRU
(except the bottom) to ensure there is adequate air circulation for cooling. In addition, at least one

3 INSTALLATION PLANNING AND SYSTEM DESIGN
This section provides installation planning information and basic system design recommendations
for RF engineers that will be designing and installing an in-building coverage solution using the
Digivance ICS. System design and planning services are available from ADC if required. Refer to
Section 7of this manual for additional information.
3.1 Base Station Interface Requirements
The DHU may be interfaced either locally or remotely with the BTS. As referenced in this
publication, the BTS could be either amicrocell or a cell site base station. With alocal
interface, ahard-wire connection is provided between the DHU and the BTS (microcell) using
coaxial cables. With aremote interface, an over-the-air connection is provided between the
DHU and the BTS (cell site base station) using a donor antenna.
3.1.1 Local BTS (Microcell) Interface
Alocal interface between the DHU and the BTS (microcell) over coax requires specific RF
input and output signal levels at the DHU and BTS. The correct levels must be provided at the
BTS and DHU interface using alocal interface device (ancillary product). Ablock diagram of
atypical local BTS interface is shown in Figure 8.

The level of the RF output signal from the BTS varies depending on the type of BTS.
Therefore, it will generally be necessary to add some gain or some attenuation to the forward
path (downlink) signal. The recommended composite maximum RF input signal level at the
DHU is –20 dBm.When the level of the RF input signal at the DHU is –20 dBm, the level of
the RF output signal at the DRU will be +13 dBm.
In the reverse path, the input signal level required at the BTS also varies depending on the
type of BTS. When the level of the reverse path (uplink) signal at the DRU is at the
recommended composite maximum of –40 dBm,the level of the RF output signal from the
DHU will be –30 dBm.Therefore, it may also be necessary to add some gain or attenuation to
the reverse path signal in order to provide the input RF signal level required at the BTS.

3.1.2 Remote BTS (Cell Site Base Station) Interface
Aremote interface between the DHU and the BTS (cell site base station) via a donor antenna
requires specific RF input and output signal levels at the DHU and antenna. The correct levels
at the DHU and antenna can be provided using aremote interface device (ancillary product). A

In the forward path (downlink), the recommended composite maximum RF input signal level
at the DHU is –20 dBm.When the level of the RF input signal at the DHU is –20 dBm, the
level of the RF output signal at the DRU will be +13 dBm.
In the reverse path, the RF output signal level required at the donor antenna will vary
depending on the distance from the BTS. When the level of the reverse path (uplink) signal at
the DRU is at the recommended composite maximum level of –40 dBm,the level of the RF
output signal from the DHU with be –30 dBm.Therefore, it will generally be necessary to add
some gain to the reverse path signal in order to provide the output RF signal level required at
the donor antenna.
3.2 Location and Mounting Requirements
3.2.1 DHU and DEU Location and Mounting Requirements
The DHU and the DEU may be either rack mounted or wall mounted. Fasteners (both metric and
US standard) are included with each unit for rack mount applications. Apair of reversible mounting
brackets is provided that allows the unit to be mounted in either a19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO
equipment rack. When rack-mounted, the front panel of the unit is flush with the front of the rack.
The cable management tray extends 3.9 inches (99 mm) beyond the front panel. Both the DHU and
DEU occupy 3.5 inches (89 mm) of rack space. Make sure the mechanical loading of the rack will
be even to avoid ahazardous condition such as aseverely unbalanced rack. The rack should safely
support the combined weight of all the equipment it holds and be properly anchored.
ADCP-75-136 • Issue 1 • November 2002
Page 18
©2002, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
For wall-mount applications of the DHU or DEU, apair of holes is provided in the cable
management tray that allows the unit to be mounted on any flat vertical surface. The mounting
holes are spaced 11-21/32 inches (296 mm) apart. The DHU/DEU should be oriented so the
front panel faces up when mounted. Appropriate fasteners for wall mounting must be provided
by the installer. It is recommended that abacker board such as 3/4-inch plywood be installed
over the mounting surface to provide asecure base for attaching the DHU or DEU.
The DHU and DEU should be mounted in anon-condensing indoor environment such as
inside awiring closet or within an environmentally controlled cabinet. All controls,
connectors, and indicators are mounted on the front panel. All cables should be routed to the
front panel for connection. Cable retainers provided on the cable management tray for securing
the fiber optic, DC power, and external alarm system cables.
The maximum recommended ambient temperature for the DHU and DEU is 50º C (122º F).
Sufficient space for air circulation should be provided between each unit when installed in a
multi-unit rack assembly because the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
might be greater than room ambient. Aminimum clearance of 3 inches (76 mm) should be
provided on both the left and right sides of the unit for air intake and exhaust. Refer to Figure
2for the DHU dimensions and Figure 6 for the DEU dimensions.
3.2.2 DRU Location and Mounting Requirements
The DRU must be installed in anon-condensing indoor environment and may be wall-
mounted or ceiling-mounted. The DRU may also be installed in spaces used for environmental
air such as the space over a suspended ceiling or beneath a raised floor. The DRU is equipped
with four integral mounting feet that allow it to be fastened to any flat vertical or horizontal
surface. Holes are provided in the mounting feet for inserting fasteners. Appropriate fasteners
for securing the DRU to the selected mounting surface must be provided by the installer.
The DC power cable and optical fibers should be routed to the DRU front panel for
connection. The antenna coaxial cable should be routed to the DRU rear panel for connection.
Aminimum of 3 inches (76 mm) of clearance space should be provided on all sides of the
DRU (except the bottom) to ensure there is adequate air circulation for cooling. In addition, at
least one surface of the DRU installation area must be open to the interior of the building. If a
portable/flexible antenna will be installed, aminimum of 9 inches (229 mm) clearance should
be allowed along the surface with the antenna. Refer to Figure 4 for the DRU dimensions.
3.3 Powering Requirements
3.3.1 DHU and DEU Powering
The DHU and DEU are powered by 120–240 Vac (50–60 Hz) which is supplied through a
standard three-conductor AC power cord. The 120 Vac power cord is provided with the unit
and is 98 inches (2.5 m) long. Both the DHU and the DEU have a current rating of 2.0 Amps
at 120 Vac input. Each unit should be located so that an AC outlet is within the reach of the
power cord.
ADCP-75-136 • Issue 1 • November 2002
Page 19
©2002, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
If back-up powering is required, it is recommended that the building Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) system be used to provide back-up power to the DHU and DEU in the event of an AC power
outage. This will also power all the DRU’s that are powered by the DHU or DEU.
3.3.2 DRU Powering
The DRU is powered by 48 Vdc power which is input to the DRU through the front panel RJ-
45 connector. Power to the DRU may be provided by the DHU, DEU, or by a 120 Vac to 48
Vdc power converter (available separately as an accessory item) plugged into a properly
grounded 120 Vac outlet. The DRU has a current rating of 400 mA at 48 Vdc input.
If the DRU will be powered by the DHU or DEU, the power cable must be fabricated on-site by the
installer. Category 3or 5twisted pair cable should be used for the power supply cable. The
maximum recommended length of the power cable is 500 meters.The power cable must be routed
between the DHU or DEU and the DRU. Both ends of the power cable must be terminated with a
male RJ-45 connector. If the DRU will be located more than 500 meters from the DHU or DRU, it
must be locally powered by a48 Vdc power converter.
The DRU may be powered locally by the ac/dc converter, shown in Figure 10, which is
available as an accessory item. The converter is aUL Listed stand alone Limited Power
Supply (LPS) unit with arated output of 48 Vdc at 1.2 Amps.The converter is equipped with
a 6-foot (1.8 m) DC power cable which is terminated with an RJ-45 male connector. The
converter is powered by 120–240 Vac (50–60 Hz) power which is supplied though astandard
three-conductor AC power cord. The 120 Vac power cord is 6feet (1.8 m) long and is
provided with the converter.

3.4 Optical Options and Requirements
Each DHU and its associated DEU’s and DRU’s are connected over a pair of optical fibers.
One fiber transports the forward path optical signal and the other fiber transports the reverse
path optical signal. Either 62.5 or 50 micron core multi-mode optical fiber; or 9 micron core
single-mode optical fiber may be used for the optical transport connection. With 62.5 micron
core fiber, the optical path may be up to 500 meters in length. With 50 micron core fiber, the
optical path may be up to 750 meters in length. With 9micron core cable, the optical path may
be up to 10 kilometers in length. Single- and multi-mode fibers may be used in the same
system. Adiagram of the optical connections is shown in Figure 11.

Figure 11. Digivance ICS Optical Connections
Whenever possible, use conduit or aguideway such as the FiberGuide system to route the optical
fibers between the DHU, the DEU’s, and the DRU’s. Avoid routing optical fibers through ladder
type cable racks or troughs that do not provide sufficient support to limit bending or prevent
accidental damage. Tie-wrapping is not recommended as ameans of securing fiber optic cables.
Provide sufficient slack at each unit for connecting each fiber to the required port. Fibers may be
pre-terminated or terminated on-site using field-installable LC type connectors.
3.5 Coaxial Cable Requirements
The DHU interfaces either locally (see Figure 8) or remotely (see Figure 9) with the BTS
through coaxial cable connections. In alocal interface with the BTS, coaxial cables are
ADCP-75-136 • Issue 1 • November 2002
Page 21
©2002, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
required to link the DHU with the interface device and the interface device with the BTS. In a
remote interface, coaxial cables are required to link the DHU with the interface device and the
interface device with the donor antenna. The DHU is equipped with N-type female connectors
for connecting the forward and reverse path coaxial cables. High performance, flexible, low
loss 50-ohm coaxial communications cable (RG 400 or equivalent) should be used for all
coaxial connections.
3.6 System Expansion Planning
The DEU enables 6-way expansion of any optical port. This makes it possible to add more
DRU’s without having to install additional DHU’s. Each DHU is equipped with six optical
ports. If more than six DRU’s are required by the application, aDEU may be connected to one
of the optical ports at the DHU which expands that port to six ports. If still more optical ports
are required, then asecond DEU may be connected to the DHU or a second DEU may be
connected to the first DEU. The ability to cascade DEU’s in parallel or in series provides
unlimited flexibility. It is physically possible to connect an unlimited number DRU’s to the
DHU through the installation of DEU’s.
The total number of DRU’s that can be served is limited by the cumulative noise effect caused
by antenna combining. This number cannot be determined until the radius distance of
coverage required at the DRU antenna is determined and the path loss attributed to the
structure are known. The system design requires that the carrier to noise differential be greater
than the customer’s desired signal to noise ratio.
If it is likely that the system will be expanded in the future, locate the DHU in such away that it can
be used as ahub for an expanded system. It should be noted that aDEU can be used as an optical
regenerator. ADRU may sometimes need to be located at apoint that is beyond the distance
limitation imposed by the optical fiber. The solution is to install aDEU at the maximum optical
fiber length from the DHU. This provides an additional 500 m, 750 m, or 10 km (depending on the
fiber type) of optical fiber length beyond the DEU for connecting the DRU.
3.7 DRU Antenna Options
Various antennas, shown in Figure 12, are available from ADC for use with the DRU. All
antennas include a 6-foot (1.8 m) long 50-ohm coaxial cable (equipped with SMA male
connector) for connection to the DRU. The DRU is equipped with an SMA female connector
for connecting the antenna cable.
The DRU antennas are designed for unobtrusive mounting within an office environment. Each
type of antenna provides aspecific coverage pattern in order to accommodate the shape of the
area where coverage is required. The ceiling-mount omni directional antenna is designed to
mount in the center of the coverage area. The directional panel antennas are designed to mount
vertically on one side of the coverage area or in the corner of the coverage area. The ceiling
mount hallway antenna is designed to mount in the center of long corridors. Antennas other
than those offered by ADC may also be used if required.

©2002, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
Note:To comply with Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements, the maximum
composite output from the antenna cannot exceed 1.5 Watts ERP and the antenna must be
permanently installed in a fixed location that provides at least 20 centimeters (8 inches) of
separation from all persons per FCC 47 CFR part 2.1091.

3.8 External Alarm System Reporting Requirements
The DHU provides normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) form C dry alarm relay
contacts for reporting minor and major alarms to an external alarm system. Aminor alarm is
defined as ahigh temperature condition. Amajor alarm is defined as any fault condition
except high temperature. Connections to the alarm contacts are provided through a screw-type
terminal strip. Category 3 or 5 cable should be used for the alarm wires. If an external alarm
system is not in use, no alarm connections are required.
ADCP-75-136 • Issue 1 • November 2002

3.9 Maintenance Requirements
The Digivance ICS requires no regular maintenance to insure continuous and satisfactory operation.
Maintenance, as it applies to the Digivance ICS, primarily involves diagnosing and correcting
service problems as they occur. Faults and failures arising from within the Digivance ICS will
generate an external alarm response which includes lighting an LED indicator(s) and closing or
opening aset of alarm contacts. When an alarm is reported, it will be necessary to isolate the source
of the problem by observing the LED indicators on each unit and then performing various tests to
isolate the problem. Once the source of the fault is isolated, the appropriate action can be taken to
correct the problem. The only unit components that can be replaced are the cooling fans which are
mounted in the DHU and the DEU and the modular optical transceivers. The failure of any other
component within aunit will require replacement of the unit. Basic trouble-shooting procedures are
provided in Section 6of this manual.
3.10 System Design Recommendations
Follow asystematic process when designing an in-building coverage solution. The following
sub sections outline the four phases of the in-building coverage solution design process.
System design and planning services are available from ADC if required. Refer to Section 7of this
manual for additional information.
3.10.1 Phase One – Initial Evaluation
Qualify the Installation: Confirm that there are no extenuating circumstances that would
prevent asuccessful installation such as: extreme cellular system issues (blocking, severe
interference, site problems, etc.), building issues, power issues, or safety issues (site should
not present any hazards or conditions that would make operation of the equipment unsafe).
Analyze the RF Situation: Determine how the system RF link to the outside world will be
provided. Will it beadirect feed from aBTS (microcell) or an over-the-air connection via a
donor antenna? If it is a donor antenna, is the customer within the coverage footprint of a
serving cell or better? The coverage can be determined during the preliminary walkthrough by
checking the downlink Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) outside the building with a
unity gain sampling antenna. Sometimes arooftop reading is needed to obtain asufficient
signal level. Note that it is an FCC violation to expand the normal coverage footprint of a
cellular site with an in-building product. In addition, consider the impact the system will have
on traffic, especially the busy hour. Confirm with the service provider that the expected
increase in the volume of calls will be addressed (if needed), possibly with additional
equipment such as additional channels or a microcell.
Determine the Amount of Building Attenuation: If a donor antenna will provide the RF link
to the BTS, determine if there is enough signal isolation between the donor antenna and the in-
building system to avoid afeedback loop and signal degradation. This step can often be
accomplished during the preliminary walkthrough.
Discuss Installation with Building Management and Engineering: Discuss all initially
anticipated Digivance ICS coverage areas (including any obviously desirable cable routings,
equipment installations, power and mechanical requirements) with the authorized client and
ADCP-75-136 • Issue 1 • November 2002
Page 24
©2002, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
building personnel for an initial approval/confirmation. This gives a good estimate of the
extent of the system work needed. Occasionally, some of the system design work can be
accomplished at this point.
3.10.2 Phase Two – System Design
Determine forward and reverse path loss and then design for unity gain on the uplink
and maximum power out of the DRU on the downlink:The overall purpose of the
Digivance ICS is to transparently overcome attenuation losses, not to provide additional gain
beyond what is required to bring the signal to unity gain. Complete the following steps to
make this determination:
1. Determine the in-building reverse path (uplink) losses at typical operating frequencies
and distances from the subscriber handset (terminal) to the DRU. This information will
be used to determine the optimal uplink signal level to the outside world.
2. Determine the typical composite cell site Effective Radiated Power (ERP) into the
system. Calculate the interface adjustment required to feed the required downlink signal
level to the DHU in order to drive the DRU output signal at the desired level.
Determine the location of the DHU and its RF and AC power sources: Complete the
following steps to make this determination:
1. Determine where and how the DHU will be mounted.
2. Determine the location of the DHU AC power source.
3. Determine the RF source (local interface with BTS or remote interface with BTS through
donor antenna) for the DHU.
4. If local interface connection with the BTS is required, determine the distance to the
DHU.
5. If aremote connection with the BTS is required, determine what type of antenna is
needed and where it can be mounted.
6. Determine the attenuation or amplification requirements for the DHU to BTS interface.
Discuss the design of the Digivance ICS installation with building management and
engineering: Explain the proposed system design with building management and engineering
personnel and obtain final design approval prior to installation.
3.10.3 Phase Three – Installation
Use industry standard practices for cabling, installation, and powering to complete the
following:
1. Install the DHU as described in Section 3 of this manual and adjust the RF interface
levels based on the system design specifications.
2. Install aDRU as described in the Digital Remote Unit Installation Instructions (ADCP -
75-112). If a donor antenna is used, install the DHU close to the donor antenna.
ADCP-75-136 • Issue 1 • November 2002
Page 25
©2002, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
3. Conduct an initial performance evaluation and complete the following:
a) Confirm proper isolation, signal quality, and power levels.
b) Make test calls from DRU service area and evaluate call quality (confirm with
service provider if desired).
c) Address performance issues as needed.
4. Install the remaining DRU’s and also any DEU’s as described in the Digital Expansion
Unit Installation Instructions (ADCP-75-111). Test call quality and range of each DRU
as needed.
5. Check powering and alarm functions of entire system per Digivance ICS specifications.
3.10.4 Phase Four - Performance Evaluation
Complete the following to evaluate the performance of the Digivance ICS:
1. Evaluate the forward path (downlink) and reverse path (uplink) RF signal levels and
quality.
2. Make continuous calls from DRU to DRU, checking all service areas, seams, and
coverage boundaries for call quality (both DL and UL). Address all quality issues as
needed.
3. Place calls both leaving and entering the building(s), in parking lots, etc. Address all
quality issues as needed.
4. Contact client/service provider to inform them when the Digivance ICS is operational.
