4 35 WATT LINEAR POWER AMPLIFIER
The 35 Watt Linear Power Amplifier (LPA), shown in Figure 2-5, works in conjunction with the
STM to amplify the forward path RF signal. The STM is interfaced with the LPA through the D-
sub connectors and wiring harness located at the rear of the RU outdoor cabinet or indoor
mounting shelf. The RF signal is passed to the LPA for amplification and then passed back to
the STM for filtering and output via the STM’s ANTENNA port. The STM also supplies DC
power to the LPA through the same interface.
4.1 Primary Components
The LPA consists of several electronic circuit board assemblies and two fan units that are
mounted within a powder-paint coated sheet metal enclosure. The metal enclosure provides a
mounting point for the electronic components and controls RF emissions. Except for the fan
units, the electronic components are not user replaceable. The LPA is designed for use with the
RU outdoor cabinets and the indoor mounting shelf. All controls, indicators, and switches are
mounted on the LPA front panel for easy access. A carrying handle is provided on the front of
the LPA to facilitate installation and transport.

4.2 Mounting
The 35 Watt LPA mounts within the RU outdoor cabinets and the indoor mounting shelf.
Runners on the top and bottom of the LPA mesh with tracks within the cabinet or mounting
shelf. The runners and tracks guide the LPA into the installed position. The electrical interface
between the STM and LPA is supported by a D-sub female connector located on the rear side of
the LPA. A corresponding D-sub male connector mounted at the rear of the RU outdoor cabinet
or indoor mounting shelf mates with the LPA connector. Captive screws are provided for
securing the LPA in the installed position.
4.3 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
The 35 Watt LPA, in conjunction with the STM, detects and reports various faults including
power amplifier fault, output power fault, temperature fault, and fan fault. Various Light
Emitting Diode (LED) indicators, located on the front panel of the LPA, turn from green to red
or yellow if an LPA fault is detected. In addition, a digital display located on the LPA front
panel provides various fault messages. The status of the LPA, the alarm state (major or minor),
and other more detailed information is summarized and reported (by the STM) over the optical
interface to the HU and also to the service interface. This information may be accessed through
the EMS software GUI, the NOC/NEM interface, or the SNMP interface.
4.4 Powering
The LPA is powered by various DC voltages which are supplied by the STM over the electrical
interface provided by the D-sub connectors and wiring harness mounted within the RU outdoor
cabinet or indoor mounting shelf.
4.5 Cooling
Continuous air-flow for cooling is provided by a pair of fans. In the previous version of the LPA,
fans are mounted at the front and the rear side of the LPA housing. The front fan pulls cool air
into the module and the rear fan exhausts heated air out of the module. In the new version of the
LPA, two front mounted fans pull cool air into the module. The heated air is exhausted out the
back of the module. An alarm is provided that indicates if a high temperature condition (>50º C/
122º F) occurs or if a fan failure occurs. The fans may be field replaced if a failure occurs.
4.6 User Interface
The LPA user interface consists of the various LEDs, message displays, and switches that are
provided on the LPA front panel. The LPA user interface points are indicated in Figure 2-6 and
described in Table 2-3.

A cable (DGVL-000000CBPC) for connecting the EMS computer to either the HU or RU is
available separately as an accessory item.
18647-A
ADCP-75-179 • Preliminary Issue A • September 2004 • Section 2: Description
Page 2-27
© 2004, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
EMS CD-ROM: The EMS software, the Java 2 Version 1.3.1 Runtime Environment software,
and the Control and FPGA software (HU and RU firmware files) are loaded on the EMS CD-
ROM. The EMS software provides local monitor and control functions through a Graphical
User Interface (GUI) and remote monitor and control functions through the NOC/NEM
interface. Several Control and FPGA firmware programs are also included on the EMS CD-
ROM for downloading to the HU and RU in case either hardware unit is not already loaded with
the current firmware.
Figure 2-20. Digivance Element Management System
SNMP CD-ROM: The SNMP Proxy Agent software is optional and is provided on the SNMP
CD-ROM. The SNMP Proxy Agent software provides for remote monitor and control functions
through a network SNMP manager. If the SNMP interface is required for system operation, both
the EMS software and SNMP Proxy Agent software must be installed on the same computer.
The SNMP Proxy Agent software will not function without the EMS software.
Manuals CD-ROM: PDF files of the various Digivance technical publications are provided on
the Manuals CD-ROM. A copy of Acrobat Reader is required to open and print the publication

8.2 Software Installation
Software installation consists of inserting each software CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-
ROM drive and then running the software install programs. This places the EMS, Java 2
Runtime Environment, and SNMP Proxy Agent software files in assigned folders on the
computer’s hard drive. Software installation instructions are provided in the Digivance Element
Management System User Manual (ADCP-75-151).
8.3 Computer Operation
Permanent control and monitoring functions may be provided by a PC-type desk-top computer
that is permanently connected to a HU. The EMS program must be running in order for the
NOC interface to function. Both the EMS program and SNMP Proxy Agent program must be
running in order for the SNMP interface to function. A PC-type lap-top computer running just
the EMS program can be used as a portable network management tool for service and
maintenance purposes. The laptop computer may be connected temporarily to a HU or RU to
trouble-shoot problems on-site and then removed when the maintenance task is completed. The
specifications for the EMS computer are provided in the Digivance Element Management
System User Manual (ADCP-75-151).
8.4 Digivance EMS Computer Interface Connections
The service interface connection between the EMS computer and the HU or RU requires that
the EMS computer be equipped with a DB-9 connector that is configured to provide an RS-232
DCE interface. A straight-through RS-232 interface cable (accessory item) equipped with a
male DB-9 connector on one end and a PC-compatible connector on the other end is required to
link the EMS computer to the HU or RU. If multiple HUs are networked together using the
CAN interface, all units may be managed by connecting the EMS computer to the service
connector on any one of the networked HUs.
The NOC interface connection between the EMS computer and the NOC requires that the EMS
computer be equipped with a connector that is configured to provide an RS-232 ASCII
interface. The link between the EMS computer and the NOC would generally be supported by a
T1 system, DS0 with RS232 conversion, or other medium. Cables and equipment (not provided)
to support the RS-232 interface connection between the EMS computer and the NOC interface
are required.
The SNMP interface connection between the EMS computer and the SNMP manager requires
that the EMS computer be equipped with an Ethernet port. The link between the EMS computer
and a network SNMP manager would generally be supported by a Local Area Network (LAN).
Cables and equipment (not provided) to support the connection between the EMS computer and
the LAN are required.

8.5 Digivance EMS User Interfaces
The Digivance EMS provides three user interfaces: the EMS Graphical User Interface (GUI),
the Network Operation Center–Network Element Manager (NOC/NEM) interface, and the
SNMP GUI interface. The EMS GUI, the NOC interface, and the SNMP GUI provide the same
basic functions. However, the NOC interface and the SNMP GUI cannot be used to download
new system software to the Digivance system. In addition, the SNMP GUI cannot be used to
assign a system site number to a HU/RU pair during installation.
The EMS GUI is used for local control and monitoring operations. The EMS GUI consists of a
series of displays and screens, such as the one shown in Figure 2-21, that provide the user with
alarm and status information and that allow the user to set various operating parameters.
Directives are implemented by pointing and clicking on the desired action and also by entering
text in various dialog boxes. Refer to the Digivance Element Management System User Manual
(ADCP-75-151) for additional information.
Figure 2-21. Graphical User Interface Host/Remote Display
The NOC/NEM interface is a text-based command line interface that is used for remote control
and monitoring operations (except software download). The NOC/NEM interface consists of
defined ASCII text strings that are input as SET or GET commands followed by the action or
information required. A text string response is received from the specified Digivance system or
systems to confirm the requested action or to report the requested information. Examples of
several typical NOC-NEM interface commands and the responses received are shown in
Figure 2-22. The NOC/NEM interface requires only a VT100 terminal/emulator or a PC-type
computer that is loaded with a communication software such as Procomm Plus. While primarily
intended for use at the NOC, the NOC/NEM interface commands may also be input locally
from the EMS computer. Refer to the Digivance Element Management System User Manual
(ADCP-75-151) for additional information.

Figure 2-22. NOC/NEM Interface Typical Commands
The SNMP interface is a GUI that is used for remote control and monitoring operations (except
software download and site number assignment). The SNMP interface uses a Management
Information Base (MIB) to define a list of identifiers that are supported by the SNMP agent.
The SNMP manager communicates with the SNMP agent over a LAN. Directives, based on the
MIB identifier, are issued by the SNMP manager to the SNMP agent along with instructions to
either get the specified identifier or set the specified identifier. The directive is then executed on
the Digivance system by the SNMP agent. The SNMP agent also has the ability to send
autonomous messages (called traps) to the SNMP manager to report changes in the status of the
managed system. The SNMP manager Stargazer Version 8.0 is available from ADC for use with
the LRCS SNMP agent. Other SNMP managers are available from various network
management software venders. Refer to the SNMP Agent Software User Manual (ADCP-75-
152) for additional information.

1.2 Readiness Check
Before starting the turn-up process, inspect the complete Digivance system to verify that all
components of the system are ready to be powered-up. This will ensure that no units of the
system will be damaged during turn-up and that all existing systems will continue to function
properly.
1.2.1 Host Unit Installation Checks
Complete the following checks at the HU prior to starting the turn-up process:
1. Verify that the ON/OFF switch on the HU is in the OFF position (press O).
2. At the fuse panel, install a 3 Amp GMT fuse in the circuit that supplies DC power to the HU.
3. Using a DC voltmeter, verify that the DC voltage level at the HU power terminals is
between ± 21 to ± 60 VDC (nominal ± 24 or ± 48 VDC). The DC power provided to the
HU can be either polarity.
4. Verify that all electrical and optical connections have been completed and that all optical
fibers, coaxial cables, and wires are properly routed and secured.
1.2.2 Remote Unit Installation Checks
Complete the following checks at the RU prior to starting the turn-up process:
1. Verify that the ON/OFF switch on the STM is in the OFF position (press O).
2. Verify that the RF ON/OF switch on the LPA in the OFF position.
3. At the AC breaker box, close the circuit breaker for the circuit that supplies AC power to
the RU.
4. Using an AC voltmeter, verify that the AC voltage level at the AC outlet is between 110
and 120 VAC (for 120 VAC powered systems) or between 220 and 240 VAC (for 240 VAC
powered systems).
5. Verify that all electrical and optical connections have been completed and that all optical
fibers, coaxial cables, and wires are properly routed and secured.
2 TURN-UP SYSTEM AND VERIFY OPERATION
The process of turning-up the system and verifying operation involves powering up the various
system components, verifying that the LED indicators show normal operation, setting the site
number and name, adjusting the RF signal levels, and adjusting the path delay.
Note: When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, be sure to check equipment
nameplate ratings to avoid overloading circuits which may cause damage to over-current
protection devices and supply wiring.

2.1 Turn-Up Procedure
Each Digivance system must be turned-up separately before being networked together with
multiple systems through the CAN interface. Use the following procedure to turn-up each
Digivance system:
1. Temporarily disconnect the external alarm system or notify the alarm system provider that
testing is in progress.
2. If the HU is networked together with multiple HU’s, temporarily disconnect the CAN cables
from the NET IN and NET OUT ports of the HU.
3. Determine if the forward path composite input signal level at each host unit RF IN port
(851–869 FORWARD and 935–940 FORWARD) is appropriate to produce the required
RF output signal level. Adjust by installing an external attenuator if necessary. Refer to
Section 2.3 for the calculation and adjustment procedure.
4. Connect the EMS computer (if not already connected) to the SERVICE connector on the
HU or STM front panel. If necessary, a separate laptop computer loaded with EMS Version
3.01 software can be temporarily connected and used to initially configure the system.
5. At the HU: Place the ON/OFF switch on the HU in the ON position (press I).
6. At the RU: Make sure the RF switch on the LPA is in the OFF position. Then place the
ON/OFF switch on the STM in the ON position (press I).
7. Wait 6 to 8 seconds for the HU and the RU modules to initialize and then observe the LED
indicators on the HU, STM and LPA. Refer to Section 4 for the troubleshooting
procedures if the indicators do not respond as specified in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1. LED Indicator Operation at Initial Turn-Up
Note: By default, all HU’s and RU’s are programmed with the same site number and
name. This can cause problems for the EMS if multiple HU’s with the same site number
and site name are networked together through the CAN interface. It is therefore necessary
to temporarily disconnect the CAN interface cables from the HU when it is being
configured for operation until a unique site number and name can be assigned.

2.3 Determine Forward Path Input Signal Level
The level of the composite RF input signals received at the host unit 851–869 FORWARD RF
IN and 935–940 FORWARD RF IN ports will vary depending on the EBTS, the cable loss, the
number of channels present, and the required forward path composite power. If maximum
composite RF output is required at the RU, the level of the composite RF input signal received
at the HU must fall within a range of –12 to –43 dBm. If the signal level is not within this range,
it must be adjusted using an external attenuator.
When connecting a single HU to a single EBTS, use the following procedure to measure and
adjust the input RF signal level at the HU:
1. Connect a spectrum analyzer or power meter to the 851–869 MHz forward path output
port at the EBTS. The required signal levels and test points are shown in Figure 3-5.
2. If using a spectrum analyzer, proceed to step 3. If using a power meter, measure the
composite signal power from the EBTS and then proceed to step 5.
3. Measure the RF level of a single carrier, such as the control channel, in dBm. Make sure
the resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer is 30 kHz. Maximum power in any
channel should not exceed 5W (+37 dB).
4. Calculate the total composite signal power from the EBTS using the following formula:
Ptot = Pc + 10Log N where,
Ptot is the total composite power in dBm
Pc is the power per carrier in dBm as measured in step 3, and
N is the total number of channels.
5. Determine the total cable loss that is imposed by the forward path coaxial cable that links
the EBTS to the HU and also any insertion loss imposed by splitters or combiners.
6. Subtract the total cable loss and any insertion losses from the total composite power
calculated in step 4.
7. Subtract –25 (midpoint of the required range) from the value determined in step 6. The
difference (which should be positive) equals the value of the external attenuator that is
required to reduce the forward path signal level to fall within the required range. The
following formula outlines the required calculations for steps 6 and 7:
Ptot – (Cable and insertion loss) – (–25) = Value of external attenuator required
8. Select an attenuator that is as close to the value calculated in step 7 as possible. Select a
value that will adjust the signal level of the composite input signal to fall within the
specified range.
Note: Check the input rating of the test equipment and the output rating of the EBTS. To
avoid burning out the spectrum analyzer or power meter, it may be necessary to insert a
30 dB 100W (or similar) attenuator between the EBTS and test equipment.
Note: If the input signal level is already within the required range of –12 to –43 dBm, then
no external attenuator is required.

9. Install the external attenuator in the coaxial cable that is connected to the 851–869
FORWARD RF IN port at the HU.
10. Repeat steps 1–8 for the 935–940 forward path output port at the EBTS. Install the
external attenuator in the coaxial cable that is connected to the 935–940 FORWARD RF
IN port at the HU.
11. Subtract the value of the external attenuators from the total composite signal power (Ptot)
and record the result. This value will be required when setting the attenuation of the HU’s
internal forward path attenuators.
2.4 Enter Site Name and Site Number
All HU’s and RU’s are programmed with the same site name and site number. It is therefore
necessary to assign a unique site name and site number to the HU and RU before they can be
connected to the same CAN network. Use the following procedure to assign a unique site name
and number to each HU and RU system:
1. Click on the HOST Config tab and on the REMOTE Config tab. The HOST Config
display and the REMOTE Config display will open within the EMS main window as
shown in Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6. HOST and REMOTE Config Displays
Caution: The Host Unit can be damaged if it is overdriven by the EBTS. Always install an
external protective attenuator at the Host Unit FWD RF IN port if the forward path composite
input signal level is greater than –12 dBm.
