ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • PrefacePage viii© 2005, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Digivance SNMP Agent Software User Manual 75-183Describes how to install, configure, and use the LRCS SNMP Proxy Agent. ADMONISHMENTSImportant safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards topersons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains whatmay happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers,Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use ofthe triangular alert icon (seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of injury ordamage and likelihood of occurrence.GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONSDanger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personalinjury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personalinjury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minorpersonal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiationcan seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do notlook directly into the optical transceiver of any digital unit or exposure to laser radiation mayresult. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hoodMUST be immediately placed over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector to avoidthe potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirtparticles from entering the adapter or connector. Danger: Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Exposure to laser radiation may result.Do not assume laser power is turned-off or the fiber is disconnected at the other end. Danger: Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installingor using electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or useelectrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm. Warning: The HU is powered by 48 VDC power which is supplied over customer-providedwiring. To prevent electrical shock when installing or modifying the HU power wiring,disconnect the wiring at the power source before working with uninsulated wires or terminals. Caution: Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing of patch cords and pigtailswithout severe bends. Fiber optic patch cords or pigtails may be permanently damaged if bentor curved to a radius of less than 2 inches (50 mm).

Throughout this publication, all items referenced as “accessory items”are not furnished with the basic product and must be purchased separately. 2 SCS SYSTEM OVERVIEWThe Digivance Long Range Coverage Solution (LRCS) system is an RF signal transport systemthat provides long-range RF coverage to areas where it is impractical to place an Enhanced BaseTransceiver Station (EBTS) at the antenna site. High real estate costs and communityrestrictions on tower and equipment locations often make it difficult to install the EBTS at thesame location as the antenna. The LRCS system overcomes equipment placement problems byhubbing base stations at a central location and placing antennas at remote locations withminimal real estate requirements. The LRCS system transports RF signals to remote locations toexpand coverage into areas not receiving service or to extend coverage into difficult to reachareas such as canyons, tunnels, or underground roadways. The SCS system provides the same functionality as the LRCS system but incorporates a lowprofile, low power, low cost remote unit. The SCS system remote unit complements the highpower remote unit used with LRCS systems. The primary application includes urban areaswhere multiple, strategically placed, low power remote units provide better coverage than highpower remote units. 2.1 Basic SCS System ComponentsThe basic components of a typical Digivance SCS system and their function are shown inFigure 1-1. A basic SCS system consists of a Host Unit (HU) and a Remote Unit (RU). The HUconsists of a rack-mountable chassis that is designed for use in an indoor environment. The RUconsists of a sealed enclosure that is designed for use in an outdoor environment. Control andmonitoring functions are provided by the Digivance Element Management System (EMS).

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 1: OVERVIEWPage 1-3© 2005, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.2.2 Enhanced Base Transceiver Station InterfaceThe HU is interfaced with an EBTS over coaxial cables as shown in Figure 1-2. The EBTSprovides the RF channel inputs and outputs for a designated sector. In the forward path, the HUreceives two RF inputs from the EBTS. The HU digitizes the RF spectrum and then converts itto digital optical signals for transport to the RU. In the reverse path, the HU receives digitaloptical signals from the RU. The HU converts the digital optical signals back to two RF outputswhich are supplied to the EBTS over the coaxial cable interface. Figure 1-2. EBTS/HU Interface2.3 Subscriber Unit InterfaceThe RU interfaces with the subscriber units (cell phones) through an antenna. In the reversepath, the RU receives RF spectrum from each subscriber unit (see Figure 1-1). The RU digitizesthe RF spectrum and then converts it to digital optical signals for transport to the HU over theoptical fiber link. In the forward path, the RU receives digital optical signals from the HU. TheRU converts the optical signals to RF spectrum for transmission to the subscriber units. The RUis connected to an antenna (not provided) which transmits and receives the subscriber unit RFspectrum. 2.4 Local Management InterfaceCommunications with an individual Digivance system is supported through a local managementinterface capability as shown in Figure 1-3. A local management interface requires a PC-typecomputer loaded with the Digivance Element Management System (EMS) software. EMSprovides the various control and monitoring functions required to locally manage a Digivancesystem. The EMS computer connects directly to the HU through the computer’s RS-232 port.Operation is implemented through the EMS Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI consistsof a series of screens from which the user selects the desired option or function. An RS-232service port is provided on both the HU for connecting the EMS computer. 20856-AHOST UNITRFENHANCEDBASETRANSCEIVERSTATIONFORWARDPATHSREVERSEPATHS

EMS provides the various control andmonitoring functions required to remotely manage multiple Digivance systems through theNOC interface. A Controller Area Network (CAN) port is provided on each HU. Up to twenty-four HU’s maybe linked together through the CAN interface and controlled by the same EMS computer. Allthe networked HU’s and the associated RU’s may be managed by connecting the EMS computerto one HU. The EMS computer provides an RS-232 port (#1) to support the interface with thenetworked HU’s. The NOC can be linked to the EMS computer through a T1 system, DS0 with RS232conversion, or some other medium. The EMS computer provides an RS-232 ASCII interfaceport (#2) to support the interface with the NOC.At the NOC, control and monitoring of the networked Digivance systems is implementedthrough a Network Element Manager (NEM) interface which requires only a VT100 terminal/emulator for operation. The NEM interface language consists of simple ASCII text strings. Allcommunications are input as either SET or GET commands which result in ASCII text stringresponses from the specified system or systems. Figure 1-5.

To support the SNMP interface, a PC-type computer loadedwith both the Digivance Element Management System (EMS) software and the SNMP ProxyAgent software is required. The EMS and SNMP Proxy Agent software plus the associatedManagement Information Base (MIB) provide the various control (Set) monitoring (Get) andtrap functions required to remotely manage multiple Digivance systems using an SNMPManager. A Controller Area Network (CAN) port is provided on each HU. Up to twenty-four HU’s maybe linked together through the CAN interface and controlled by the same EMS computer. Allthe networked HU’s and the associated RU’s may be managed by connecting the EMS computerto one HU. The EMS computer provides an RS-232 port (#1) to support the interface with thenetworked HU’s. The SNMP Manager may be linked with the EMS computer through a Local Area Network(LAN). The EMS computer provides an Ethernet port to support the interface with the LAN. The SNMP Proxy Agent supports two versions of the SNMP protocol: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.A facility to Register/Unregister an SNMP Manager for receiving traps is also supported by theSNMP Proxy Agent. The SNMP Manager is an option and must be ordered separately fromthe EMS software. Figure 1-6.

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 1: OVERVIEWPage 1-7© 2005, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.3 SYSTEM FUNCTIONS AND FEATURESThis section describes various system level functions and features of the Digivance system. 3.1 Fiber Optic TransportIn a typical Digivance LRCS system, the HU is connected to the RU over two single-modeoptical fibers. One fiber is used to transport the forward path optical signal. The other fiber isused to transport the reverse path optical signal. Because the optical signal is digital, the inputand output RF signal levels at the HU or the RU are not dependent on the level of the opticalsignal or the length of the optical fiber. A diagram of the fiber optic transport system for atypical Digivance LRCS system is shown in Figure 1-7. Figure 1-7. LRCS System Fiber Optic Transport - TypicalThe maximum length of the optical links is dependent on the loss specifications of the opticalfiber, the losses imposed by the various connectors and splices, and the RF modulation protocolresponse timing limitations. The basic system provides an optical budget of 25 dB (typical)when used with 9/125 single-mode fiber. In SCS applications, the forward path and reverse path optical signals from an HU/RU pair arecombined onto a single optical fiber. This is accomplished by using a passive bi-directionalWavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) system. The optical wavelengths used in theDigivance system are 1550 nm for the forward path and 1310 nm for the reverse path. Becausedifferent wavelengths are used for the forward and reverse paths, both signals can be combinedon a single optical fiber. A WDM module (accessory) is installed with the HU at the host siteThe SCS RU, which is equipped with an internally mounted WDM, is installed at the remotesite as shown in Figure 1-8. Figure 1-8.

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 1: OVERVIEWPage 1-8© 2005, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.3.2 Control and Monitoring SoftwareThe EMS software and the SNMP Proxy Agent software provide control and monitoringfunctions for the Digivance system through the local, NOC, and SNMP interfaces. The EMSsoftware package supports the local and NOC interfaces but does not include the SNMP ProxyAgent software which must be ordered separately. Both the EMS and the SNMP Proxy Agentsoftware are required to support the SNMP interface. All software files are provided on CD-ROM’s. Software installation consists of copying the software files from the CD-ROM’s to adesignated directory on the hard-drive of the EMS computer. The EMS software provides the capability to provision and configure the Digivance system foroperation. This includes selecting a site name, setting alarm thresholds, and setting forward andreverse path RF gain adjustments. The EMS software also provides the capability to get alarmmessages (individual or summary), obtain data measurements, and to upgrade the HU/RUsystem software. All control and monitor functions (except software upgrade which is notsupported by the NOC/NEM and SNMP interfaces and HU/RU pair site number assignmentwhich is not supported by the SNMP interface) may be implemented using the NOC/NEMinterface, the SNMP interface, or the EMS software GUI. 3.3 Fault Detection and Alarm ReportingLED indicators are provided on the front panel of the HU and on the underside of the RU toindicate if the system is normal or if a fault is detected. In addition, normally open and normallyclosed alarm contacts (for both major and minor alarms) are provided at the HU for connectionto a customer-provided external alarm system. All alarms can also be accessed through theNOC/NEM interface, SNMP manager, or the EMS software GUI. 3.4 PoweringThe HU is powered by ±24 or ±48 VDC and must be hard-wired to a local DC power sourcethrough a fuse panel. A screw-down terminal strip is provided on the rear side of the HU for thepower connections. The RU is powered by 90 to 265 VAC (nominal 120 or 240 VAC), 47 to 63 Hz power. On anoptional basis, the RU may be powered by 60 to 89 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz power. A connector isprovided on the underside of the RU for the AC power connections. A 3-wire AC power cablerated for outdoor use is included with the RU. The stub end of the cable must be hard-wired tothe AC power source. 3.5 Equipment Mounting and LocationThe HU consists of a rack-mountable chassis assembly that is designed for mounting in a non-condensing indoor environment such as inside a wiring closet or within an environmentally-controlled cabinet. The HU is usually installed within 20 feet of the EBTS and may be mountedin either a 19- or 23-inch, WECO or EIA, equipment rack. The RU consists of a sealed aluminum enclosure designed for mounting in either an indoor oroutdoor environment. The RU may be mounted from a pole or the exterior side of a buildingwith the standard mounting bracket or from a strand with an accessory bracket.

Each single-band RU is equipped with the electronics tosupport one frequency band. If it is necessary so support two frequency bands (such as 800/900MHz SMR and 1900 MHz) at the same remote location, a dual-band RU can be deployed. Adual-band RU provides the electronic and optical functionality of two single-band RU’s exceptthat all the electronic and optical components are housed within a single enclosure. A dual-band SCS system consists of two standard host units and a dual-band RU that are linkedtogether over two optical fibers. At the hub site, each HU is connected to a separate EBTSfacility. The dual-band RU supports the frequency bands (such as 800/900 MHz SMR and 1900MHz) associated with the two connected HU’s. Each HU and the corresponding RU electronicsfunction independently of each other and may be managed separately using the same elementmanager system (EMS). Figure 1-9 shows a typical SCS system equipped with a dual-band RU.One fiber is used to transport the forward/reverse path optical signals for one SCS system. Theother fiber is used to transport the forward/reverse path optical signals for the other SCS system.

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 2: DESCRIPTIONPage 2-2© 2005, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.1 INTRODUCTIONThis section describes the basic components of a typical Digivance SCS system including theHost Unit (HU), Remote Unit (RU), element management system, and accessories. The systemspecifications are provided in a table at the end of this section. 2 HOST UNITTwo versions of the HU are available. The rear access HU, shown in Figure 2-1, is used with800/900 MHz SMR systems. The front access HU, also shown in Figure 2-1, is used with 800and 1900 MHz systems. Connection points for the RF, optical, and alarm cables are provided onthe rear side of the rear access HU and on the front side of the front access HU. Both HUversions provide the following basic functions:• Provides a limited adjustable RF interface with the BTS. • Provides a fiber optic interface with the RU. • Digitizes the two forward path composite RF signals. • Converts the two digitized forward path RF signals to a digital optical signal. • Converts the digitized reverse path optical signal to two digitized RF signals. • Converts the two digitized reverse path RF signals to two composite RF signals. • Sends alarm information to an external alarm system through relay contact closures• Provides an RS-232 interface for connecting the EMS computer. • Provides a CAN interface for networking multiple HUs. 2.1 Primary ComponentsThe HU consists of an electronic circuit board assembly and a fan assembly that are mountedwithin a powder-paint coated sheet metal enclosure. The enclosure provides a mounting pointfor the circuit board and fan assemblies and controls RF emissions. The only user-replaceablecomponent is the fan assembly. The HU is designed for use within a non-condensing indoorenvironment such as inside a wiring closet or cabinet. The front access HU is also equippedwith a front cable management tray and vertical cable guides. 2.2 MountingThe HU is intended for rack-mount applications. A pair of reversible mounting brackets isprovided that allow the HU to be mounted in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECOequipment rack. When the rear access HU is installed, the front panel of the HU is flush with thefront of the rack. When the front access HU is installed, the front panel of the HU is flush withthe front of the rack and the cable management tray extends 3.9 inches (99 mm) beyond thefront panel. Screws are provided for securing the HU to the equipment rack.

Rear and Front Access Host Units2.3 Fault Detection and Alarm ReportingThe HU detects and reports various internal and external faults including host unit fault, opticalfault, power fault, temperature fault, and RF fault. Various front panel Light Emitting Diode(LED) indicators turn from green to red or yellow if a fault is detected. A set of alarm contacts(normally open and normally closed) are provided for reporting an alarm to an external alarmsystem when a fault is detected. Both major alarm (system operation seriously affected) andminor alarm (system operation not affected or only slightly degraded) contacts are provided. Fault and alarm information may also be accessed locally through the EMS software GUI orremotely through the NOC/NEM interface or SNMP interface. An alarm history file ismaintained by the EMS software so that a record is kept of all alarms as they occur. This isuseful when an alarm is reported and cleared before the reason for the alarm can be determined. The status of the HU, the alarm state (major or minor), and other alarm information issummarized and reported over the service interface, the CAN interface, and the optical interfaceto the RU. In addition, the status of the RU is transmitted to the HU over the optical interfaceand reported over the service interface and the CAN interface. 17.1 INCHES(433 mm)3.5 INCHES(88 mm)12.2 INCHES(311 mm)FRONT PANELMOUNTINGBRACKET(BOTH SIDES)REAR ACCESS HOST UNITFRONT ACCESS HOST UNIT20666-A17.2 INCHES(437 mm)3.5 INCHES(89 mm)11.4 INCHES(290 mm)15.3 INCHES(389 mm)FRONT PANELCABLE MANAGEMENTTRAYMOUNTINGBRACKET(BOTH SIDES)
ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 2: DESCRIPTIONPage 2-4© 2005, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.2.4 RF Signal ConnectionsThe RF signal connections between the rear access HU and the EBTS are supported throughfour N-type female connectors. Two connectors are used for the forward path RF signals andtwo connectors are used for the reverse path RF signals. The RF signal connections between the front access HU and the EBTS are supported throughtwo N-type female connectors. One connector is used for the forward path RF signal and theother connector is used for the reverse path RF signal. In most installations, it is usually necessary to install external attenuators to support the RFinterface between the HU and the EBTS. The HU should be as close as possible to the EBTS tominimize coaxial cable losses. 2.5 RF Signal Level AdjustmentsThe HU is equipped with several attenuators for adjusting the signal levels of the forward andreverse path RF signals. The attenuators provide an attenuation adjustment range of 0 to 31 dBand can be set in 1 dB increments. The attenuators are software controlled and are adjustedthrough the EMS software GUI, NOC/NEM interface, or SNMP interface. The host forward path attenuators adjust the level of the input RF signal(s) to the HU. Usingthe forward path attenuator, an input signal with a nominal composite signal level of –9 dBm to–40 dBm can be adjusted to produce maximum power output. Additional external attenuationis required if the input signal level is greater than –9 dBm. The host reverse path attenuators adjust the level of the output RF signal(s) from the HU andwill add from –1 dB of gain (attenuator set to 31 dB) to +30 dB of gain (attenuator set to 0 dB)to the RF output signal(s) at the HU. 2.6 Propagation DelayThe HU forward and reverse path propagation delays may be adjusted in 0.1 µsec incrementswithin a range of 0 to 63 µs. The propagation delay is software controlled and may be adjustedthrough the EMS software GUI, NOC/NEM interface, or SNMP interface. 2.7 Optical ConnectionOptical connections between the HU and the RU are supported through two optical portsequipped with UPC/SC (flat) connectors. One port is used for the forward path optical signalconnection and the other port is used for the reverse path optical signal connection. Note: The optimum composite RF input signal level for 800/900 MHz SMR systems is–20 dBm.
ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 2: DESCRIPTIONPage 2-5© 2005, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.2.8 Controller Area Network Interface ConnectionController Area Network (CAN) interface connections between multiple HUs are supported bya pair of RJ-45 jacks. One of the jacks is designated as the network IN port and the other jack isdesignated as the network OUT port. The CAN interface allows up to 24 HUs to be connectedtogether (in daisy-chain fashion) and controlled through a single EMS computer. 2.9 Service Interface ConnectionThe service interface connection between the HU and the EMS computer is supported by asingle DB-9 female connector. The service connector provides an RS-232 DTE interface. Whenmultiple HUs are networked together, the supporting EMS computer may be connected to theservice connector of any one of the networked HUs. 2.10 PoweringThe HU is powered by ± 21 to ± 60 VDC power (nominal ± 24 or ± 48 VDC). The power is fed tothe HU through a screw-down type terminal strip located on the rear side of the unit. Power tothe HU must be supplied through a fuse panel such as the PowerWorx GMT Series Fuse Panel(available separately). The power circuit for each HU must be protected with a 3 Amp GMTfuse. An On/Off switch is provided on the HU front panel. 2.11 CoolingContinuous airflow for cooling is provided by dual fans mounted on the right side of the HUhousing. A minimum of 3 inches (76 mm) of clearance space must be provided on both the leftand right sides of the HU for air intake and exhaust. An alarm is generated if a high temperaturecondition (>50º C/122º F) occurs. The fans may be field-replaced if either fan fails. 2.12 User InterfaceThe HU user interface consists of the various connectors, switches, terminals, and LEDs that areprovided on the HU front and rear panels. The rear access HU user interface points areindicated in Figure 2-2 and described in Table 2-1. The front access HU user interface pointsare indicated in Figure 2-3 and described in Table 2-2.

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 theEMS computer to the HU. The NOC interface connection between the EMS computer and the NOC requires that the EMScomputer be equipped with a connector that is configured to provide an RS-232 ASCIIinterface. The link between the EMS computer and the NOC would generally be supported by aT1 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 interfaceare required. The SNMP interface connection between the EMS computer and the SNMP manager requiresthat the EMS computer be equipped with an Ethernet port. The link between the EMS computerand 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 andthe LAN are required.
ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 2: DESCRIPTIONPage 2-17© 2005, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.5.5 Digivance Software User InterfacesThe Digivance EMS provides three software user interfaces: the EMS Graphical User Interface(GUI), the Network Operation Center–Network Element Manager (NOC/NEM) interface, andthe SNMP interface. The EMS GUI, the NOC interface, and the SNMP interface provide thesame basic functions. However, the NOC interface and the SNMP interface cannot be used todownload new system software to the Digivance system. In addition, the SNMP interfacecannot 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 aseries of displays and screens, such as the one shown in Figure 2-8, that provide the user withalarm 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 enteringtext in various dialog boxes. Refer to the Digivance Element Management System User Manual(see Related Publications section) for additional information. Figure 2-8. Typical EMS Graphical User Interface – Host/Remote Alarms DisplayThe NOC/NEM interface is a text-based command line interface that is used for remote controland monitoring operations (except software download). The NOC/NEM interface consists ofdefined ASCII text strings that are input as SET or GET commands followed by the action orinformation required. A text string response is received from the specified Digivance system orsystems to confirm the requested action or to report the requested information. Examples ofseveral typical NOC-NEM interface commands and the responses received are shown inFigure 2-9. The NOC/NEM interface requires only a VT100 terminal/emulator or a PC-typecomputer that is loaded with a communication software such as Procomm Plus. While primarilyintended for use at the NOC, the NOC/NEM interface commands may also be input locallyfrom the EMS computer. Refer to the Digivance Element Management System User Manual(see Related Publications section) for additional information.
