6. Open the Tools menu at the top of the main window and then select Refresh Catalog to
make the new Host and Remote site names appear in the View menu.
2.5 Enter Host Forward Attenuation
The HU internal forward path attenuator setting determines the maximum composite output
signal level at the STM antenna port. The appropriate attenuation value for any particular
system is based on the number of channels the system is transporting and the signal level of the
composite forward path signals input at the host units RF IN ports. By default, the forward path
attenuator is set to 31 dB.
The maximum output power that can be provided by the system is 43.4 dBm (22 Watts). The
total forward path gain that is provided by the system (with host and remote forward attenuators
set to 0 dB) is 85 dBm. Use the following procedure to set the forward path attenuation to
provide the maximum composite output signal level:
1. Click on the HOST RF tab. The HOST RF display will open within the EMS main
window as shown in Figure 3-8.

3. Obtain the value of the total composite input signal level as determined in step 11 of
Section 2.3.
4. Determine the appropriate value to enter for the Host forward path attenuator by
subtracting the required system output level (per system design plan) from the system gain
(85 dB) and then adding the composite input signal level. The result (see sample
calculation) is the amount of attenuation required.
Atten = (System Gain) – (Required System Output Power) + (Composite Input Power)
5. Enter the attenuation value and click OK to close the pop-up screen and to make the
changes take effect.

2.6 Determine Output Signal Level at STM Antenna Port
The RF output signal level should be measured at the STM ANTENNA port to verify that
maximum composite signal level is at the required level. Use the following procedure to
determine the power level:
1. Verify that RF ON/OFF switch on the LPA is in the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the antenna cable from the STM ANTENNA port.
3. Connect a spectrum analyzer or RF power meter to the STM ANTENNA port. (Check the
input rating of the test equipment. Insert a 30 dB 100 W attenuator if necessary.)
4. Place the RF switch on the LPA in the ON position.
5. If using a spectrum analyzer, proceed to step 6. If using a power meter, measure the
composite signal power from the STM and then proceed to step 8.
6. 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.
7. Calculate the total composite signal power 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 6, and
N is the total number of channels.
8. Record the result measured in step 5 or calculated in step 7.
9. Place the RF switch on the LPA in the OFF position.
10. Disconnect the spectrum analyzer or RF power meter from the STM ANTENNA port.
11. Re-connect the antenna cable to the STM ANTENNA port.
2.7 Enter Remote Forward Attenuation
The STM internal forward path attenuator setting is used to reduce the power level of the
composite output signals at the STM antenna port. The maximum composite output signal level
at the STM antenna port is set using the Host internal forward attenuator (see Section 2.5).
However, component variations may result in the output power at the STM antenna port being
slightly above or below the required power per channel. If this is the case, the STM forward
attenuator may be used in conjunction with the Host forward attenuator to add or remove
attenuation to produce the required output signal level. If less power is required, the STM
forward attenuator may be used to reduce the power level. The default setting is 31 dB. Use the
following procedure to change the STM forward attenuation:
Note: To comply with Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements, the
maximum composite output from the antenna cannot exceed 1000 Watts EIRP and the
antenna must be permanently installed in a fixed location that provides at least 6 meters
(20 feet) of separation from all persons.

1. Click on the REMOTE RF tab. The REMOTE RF display will open within the EMS main
window as shown in Figure 3-10.
Figure 3-10. REMOTE LPA Display
2. Check the level of the RF output signal (as determined in Section 2.6) against the system
design plan specifications. Table 3-2 shows the output signal level required to provide 5
watts per channel for systems with 1 to 4 channels. The maximum output signal level
permitted for the system is 43.4 dBm (22 Watts).
3. Determine if more or less attenuation is required to produce the required output signal level.
4. Click on the Remote Fwd Att field Edit button (see Figure 3-10). The Remote Fwd Att
pop-up screen will open as shown in Figure 3-11.

5. Enter the required attenuation value and click OK to close the pop-up screen and to make
the changes take effect.
6. Verify that the appropriate RF output signal level appears in the RF Output Power field
(see Figure 3-10). This is primarily a reference value and should not take the place of
external test equipment when determining the power level of the composite RF output
signal. Depending on the modulation type and number of channels, the EMS software may
report a power level that is higher or lower (± 3 dB) than the actual RF output signal.
2.8 Enter Host Reverse Attenuation
The level of the RF signal that should be input to the EBTS will vary depending on the type of
EBTS, the receive distribution, and the number of channels present. To interface with the EBTS,
the reverse path signal level must be adjusted to provide the signal level required by the EBTS.
The HU provides from –1 to +30 dB of gain in the reverse path. By default, the host reverse
attenuator is set to –31 dB of attenuation which provides –1 dB of gain. Use the following
procedure to set the reverse path gain:
1. Check the EBTS manufacturer’s specifications to determine the composite signal level
required at the 806–824 MHz and 896–901 MHz reverse path input ports.
2. Determine the overall gain and loss imposed on the signal by the antenna, antenna cable,
and by the cables that connect the HU to the EBTS.
3. Determine the amount of gain required to raise the reverse path signal to the level required
at the EBTS.
4. Click on the HOST RF tab. The HOST RF display will open within the EMS main
window as shown in Figure 3-12.
Note: To comply with Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements, the
maximum composite output from the antenna cannot exceed 1000 Watts EIRP and the
antenna must be permanently installed in a fixed location that provides at least 6 meters
(20 feet) of separation from all persons.

2.9 Enter Host Forward and Reverse Delay
The forward and reverse delay function allows entry of from 0 to 63 µsec of delay in the
forward and reverse paths. This feature is used when multiple systems are used to transport the
same channel and there is a significant difference in the path delay between systems. Additional
delay may be entered to balance the overall system delay. The amount of delay required must be
calculated by the RF engineer and should be included in the system design plan. The default
setting is 0 µsec. Use the following procedure to change the forward and reverse path delay:
1. Click on the HOST RF tab. The HOST RF display will open within the EMS main
window as shown in Figure 3-14.
2. Click on the Host Fwd Delay field Edit button (see Figure 3-14). The Host Fwd Delay
pop-up screen will open as shown in Figure 3-15.
3. Obtain the value of the forward delay as specified in the system design plan. The delay is
adjustable in 0.1 µsec steps.
4. Enter the forward path delay value and click OK to close the pop-up screen and to make
the changes take effect.
5. Repeat the process for reverse delay by right-clicking on the appropriate delay section (see
Figure 3-14) and then entering the required delay value in the pop-up screen.
6. Click OK to close each pop-up screen and to make the changes take effect.

1 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
This section explains the Digivance system fault detection and alarm reporting system, provides
a method for isolating and troubleshooting faults, and provides test procedures. The Digivance
system requires minimal regular maintenance to insure continuous and satisfactory operation.
Components that require regular replacement, cleaning, or testing include the HU fans, STM
fan, LPA fans, RU cabinet air-filter, and RU back-up battery.
Maintenance also includes diagnosing and correcting service problems as they occur. When an
alarm is reported, it will be necessary to follow a systematic troubleshooting procedure to locate
the problem. Once the source of the problem is isolated, the appropriate corrective action can be
taken to restore service. The only internal components that can be replaced are the cooling fans
which mount in the HU, RU, and LPA. The failure of any other internal component will require
replacement of the entire unit.
1.1 Tools and Materials
The following tools and materials are required in order to complete the maintenance procedures
specified in this section:
•ESD wrist strap
• IR filtering safety glasses
• Patch cords with SC connectors
• 15 dB in-line SC optical attenuators
• Optical power meter (1550 and 1310 nm)
• TORX screwdriver (with T10 bit)
• Battery maintenance tools (see PRC-SERIES OPERATING AND FIELD SERVICE
MANUAL for tool recommendations)

2 FAULT DETECTION AND ALARM REPORTING
The Digivance LRCS on-board embedded software detects various unit and system faults which
generate ether a Major or Minor alarm. A Major alarm indicates that the system has failed in a
way that directly affects RF transport performance. When a major alarm occurs, all RF
functions are disabled and the system is out of service. A Minor alarm means that system
performance is not affected or in some cases, that the performance may no longer be optimal.
When a minor alarm occurs, RF functions continue and the system remains in service.
The following means are used to report Major and Minor alarms:
• HU alarm contacts
• HU, STM, and LPA front panel LED’s
• EMS software Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• Network Operations Center - Network Element Manager (NOC/NEM) interface
• SNMP interface
The HU is equipped with a set of both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) alarm
contacts which may be used to report both Major and Minor alarms to an external alarm system.
The alarm contacts summarize the inputs so that any Major or Minor alarm will trigger an alarm
report to the external alarm system.
The HU, STM, and LPA front panel LED indicators show status and alarm information by
displaying various colors: Green, Red, Yellow, and Off. In addition to LED indicators, the 35
Watt LPA is also equipped with a Digital Display that provides text messages. A description of
the Host Unit, Spectrum Transport Module, and 35 Watt LPA LED indicators is provided
respectively in Table 4-1, Table 4-2, and Table 4-3.
The EMS software GUI provides both a summary and a detailed list of alarm information that
includes unit and module level faults, circuit faults, and measured value faults such as voltages,
RF power, and temperature. A summary showing a list of all systems and their current alarm
status is presented through the Alarm OverView display. A more detailed list of alarm
information is presented through the HOST alarm display and the REMOTE alarm display. The
various fault conditions that trigger a major or minor alarm report are shown in the HOST and
REMOTE alarm displays.
The NOC/NEM interface provides the same summary and detailed listing of alarm information
as the EMS software GUI but in an ASCII text string format. Sending the command GET
ALARMSUMMARY produces a list of all systems and their current alarm status. Sending the
command GET ALARM ALL for a specific system will produce a detailed list of alarm
information for the specified system.
The SNMP interface provides alarm information to up to ten SNMP managers which must be
registered with the SNMP agent. The SNMP interface allows the SNMP managers to receive the
alarm and status information generated by the host and remote units. The presentation of the
alarm information is dependent on the features of the SNMP manager.

3 FAULT ISOLATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Alarm information may be accessed using the HU and STM front panel LED indicators, the
EMS software GUI, the NOC-NEM interface, or the SNMP manager. When an alarm occurs,
use the unit LED indicators and any one of the specified software tools to determine which
Digivance system is affected, which unit (HU or STM) reported the alarm, and the fault that
generated the alarm. Then refer to either Section 3.1 Host Unit Troubleshooting or Section 3.2
STM Troubleshooting to isolate the problem and to determine the corrective action required. If
an LPA problem is reported by the STM, refer to Section 3.3 LPA Troubleshooting for the
troubleshooting procedures that apply to the LPA.
When attempting to isolate a problem, always determine the initial fault that generated the
alarm report. Some faults may cause additional faults to be reported which tends to obscure the
initial reason for the alarm. To help isolate faults, the EMS GUI provides an AlarmOverview
screen, shown in Figure 4-1, that indicates which Digivance system/unit is reporting the alarm.
Figure 4-1. AlarmOverView Screen
The AlarmOverview screen includes an ALARM HIST indicator which the user should click to
acknowledge that an alarm exists. Acknowledging the alarm opens the Alarm History Info
dialog box (also shown in Figure 4-1) which directs the user to view the EMS Log file for
details. The EMS Log file lists the various faults in the order in which they occurred. Clear each
fault starting with the initial fault. In most instances, clearing the initial fault will also clear any
remaining faults. For additional information on using the AlarmOverview screen, refer to the
Digivance Element Management System Version 3.01 User Manual (ADCP-75-151).
Note: It is recommended that if there are alarms at both the HU and STM, the optical
faults should be checked and cleared first. Because the HU and STM function as a system,
a fault in the fiber optic link will cause alarms to be reported by both the HU and STM.

4 TEST PROCEDURES
This section provides procedures for common troubleshooting and maintenance tests. Refer to
these procedures as needed when specified in the Fault/Alarm Isolation Diagrams in Section 3.
4.1 Optical Power Test
A break in an optical fiber or a fault with the optical connector will interrupt communications
between linked components or generate excessive errors. Use the following procedure to isolate
a problem with an optical fiber or connector.
1. Put on the IR filtering safety glasses.
2. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring system operator that the system is going offline.
3. At the HU and at the STM, place the On/Off switches in the OFF position (press O).
4. Disconnect the optical fiber connectors for the fiber to be tested at the HU and the STM.
5. Inspect the optical connectors. Verify that connectors are clean and that no scratches or
imperfections are visible on the fiber end. Clean and polish the optical connectors if necessary.
6. Connect the optical power meter to the output (receiver) end of the optical fiber as shown
in Figure 4-2. If an attenuator was included in the fiber link, make sure the attenuator is
installed.
Figure 4-2. Forward and Reverse Path Optical Fiber Test Set Up
Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation
can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not
look directly into the optical transmitter of any unit or exposure to laser radiation may result.
An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST
be immediately placed over any radiating transmitter or optical fiber connector to avoid the
potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles
from entering the connector.
Note: Turning off the HU and STM disables the respective lasers which is necessary in
order to safely inspect and clean the optical connectors.

7. Connect the input (transmitter) end of the optical fiber to the transmitting HU or STM
(see Figure 4-2).
8. At the transmitting HU or STM, place the On/Off switch in the ON position (press I).
9. Using the transmitting HU or STM as an optical light source, measure the optical power
at the receiver end of the optical fiber. The power level of the optical input signal at the
HU or STM must fall within the following ranges:
Forward Path Signal at the STM: –15 to –25 dBm (with attenuator installed)
Reverse Path Signal at the HU: –13 to –25 dBm (with attenuator installed)
If the power level of the received optical signal is within the specified range, the optical
fiber and the far end unit are good. If the power level of the received signal is not with
the specified range, either the optical fiber is faulty or the far end unit optical transmitter
is faulty. Continue with test procedure to isolate the problem
10. At the transmitting HU or STM, place the On/Off switch in the OFF position (press O).
11. Disconnect the optical power meter from the receiver end of the optical fiber.
12. Use a 1 meter patch cord to connect the optical power meter to the transmitting HU or
STM as shown in Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3. Host Unit and STM Optical Transmitter Test Set Up
13. At the transmitting HU or STM, place the On/Off switch in the ON position (press I).
14. Measure the optical output power of the transmitting HU or STM. The power level of the
optical output signal from the HU or STM must meet the following specification:
Forward Path Signal at the HU: 0 + 1 dBm
Reverse Path Signal at the STM: +2 + 1 dBm
If the power level of the optical output signal is within specifications with a 1 meter
patch cord installed, the fiber optic link is faulty. If the power level of the optical signal
is not within specifications, the far end HU or STM optical transmitter is faulty.

position (press I) at both the HU and STM.
20. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring service that the system is going back online.
4.2 Optical Loopback Test
The following procedures provide tests to determine if an optical port fault exists with the Host
Unit or with the STM.
1. Put on the IR filtering safety glasses.
2. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring system operator that the system is going offline.
3. At the HU or STM (whichever unit is being tested), place the On/Off switch in the OFF
position (press O).
4. Disconnect the optical fiber connectors from the FWD (PORT 1) and REV (PORT 2)
optical ports and place a dust cap over each connector.
5. Plug a 15 dB in-line optical attenuator into the FWD (PORT 1) optical port as shown in
Figure 4-4.

Authorization number and complete return shipping instructions. If time is critical, ADC can

4 REPAIR CHARGES
If the defect and the necessary repairs are covered by the warranty, and the applicable warranty
period has not expired, the Buyer’s only payment obligation is to pay the shipping cost to return
the defective Product. ADC will repair or replace the Product at no charge and pay the return
shipping charges.
Otherwise, ADC will charge a percentage of the current Customer Product price for the repair
or NTF (No Trouble Found). If an advance replacement is requested, the full price of a new unit
will be charged initially. Upon receipt of the defective Product, ADC will credit Buyer with 20
percent of full price charged for any Product to be Out-of-Warranty. Products must be returned
within thirty (30) days to be eligible for any advance replacement credit. If repairs necessitate a
visit by an ADC representative, ADC will charge the current price of a field visit plus round trip
transportation charges from Minneapolis to the Buyer’s site.
