1 SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW AND UNIT DESCRIPTION
This section provides an overview of the Digivance Indoor Coverage Solution (ICS), a
description of the functions and features provided by the units that comprise the system, a
listing of terms used and their definition, and atable of specifications.
1.1 System Functional Overview
The Digivance ICS is adigitally distributed antenna system that provides in-building coverage
for analog (AMPS) or digital (TDMA or CDMA) cellular phone systems operating within the
800 and 1900 MHz frequency bands. Large buildings typically interfere with the transmission
or reception of cellular phone system signals by imposing high attenuation losses on RF
signals. The Digivance ICS is designed to overcome the attenuation losses that make cellular
communications within buildings or structures difficult or impossible. With the Digivance
ICS, cellular phone RF signals can be distributed to the interior areas of any building or
structure to eliminate dead spots and improve reception.
1.1.1 Basic System Components
The basic components of the Digivance ICS and their functions are shown in Figure 1. The
basic system consists of the Digital Host Unit (DHU), Digital Remote Unit (DRU), and when
additional capacity or longer fiber runs are required, the Digital Expansion Unit (DEU). In
addition, two accessory items, the Local Interface Unit (LIU) and the Remote Interface Unit
(RIU) may be used as needed to interface the DHU with the cellular system Base Transceiver
Station (BTS).
1.1.2 Interface With BTS
The DHU interfaces, either locally or remotely, with the BTS. As referenced in this
publication, the BTS could be either amicrocell or a cell site base station. When the BTS
(microcell) is co-located with the DHU, alocal interface over coaxial cable is possible. An
interface device, such as the LIU, may be required to provide the proper input and output RF
signal levels between the BTS and the DHU. When the BTS (cell site base station) is not co-
located with the DHU, aremote interface using a donor antenna is required. An interface
device such as the RIU is required to provide the proper input and output RF signal levels
between the donor antenna and the DHU.
The DHU interfaces, as described in the preceding paragraph, with the BTS. In the forward
path, the DHU receives RF signals from the BTS. The DHU digitizes the RF signals and then
converts them to digital optical signals for transport to the DEUs and DRUs. In the reverse
path, the DHU receives digital optical signals from the DRUs and DEUs. The DHU converts
the optical signals back to the original RF signal format for transmission to the BTS.

1.1.3 Interface With Cellular Phones
The DRUs interface with the cellular phones. In the reverse path, the DRU receives RF signals
from each cellular phone. The DRU digitizes the RF signals and then converts them to digital
optical signals for transport to the DHU. In the forward path, the DRU receives digital optical
signals from the DHU. The DRU converts the optical signals back to the original RF signal
format for transmission to the cellular phones. Asmall antenna is connected to the DRU to
transmit and receive RF signals from the cellular phones.
ADCP-75-110 Issue 2B July 2001

1.1.4 Digital Fiber Optic Transport
The DHU is connected to each DRU unit over a pair of multi-mode fiber optic links. One link
is used to transport the forward path optical signal. The other link is used to transport the
reverse path optical signal. Because the optical signal is digital, no adjustments to the optical
signal level are required at the DRU or the DHU regardless of the length of the optical link.
Either 50 or 62.5 micron core multi-mode fiber optic cable may be used for the optical link. If
50 micron cable is used, the optical link may be up to 750 meters in length. If 62.5 micron
core cable is used, the optical link may be up to 500 meters in length. The fiber optic links are
terminated with LC connectors.
1.1.5 Capacity for Expansion and Extended Runs
The DEU enables 6-way expansion of any optical port. This makes it possible to add more
DRUs without having to install additional DHUs. Each DHU is equipped with six optical
ports. If more than six DRUs 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 DRUs to the
DHU through the installation of DEUs. The maximum number of DRUs that can connected to
the DHU is limited only by the cumulative noise effect caused by antenna combining.
1.1.6 Power Requirements
The DHU, DEU, LIU, and RIU are each powered by 120–240 Vac (50–60 Hz) power which is
supplied through astandard three-conductor AC power cord. The DRU is powered by 34–48
Vdc which is supplied by either the DHU, DEU, or an ac/dc wall-mount style converter. When
the DRU is powered by the DHU or DEU, the power is fed through acategory 3 or 5 cable
terminated with male RJ-45 connectors.
1.1.7 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
LED indicators are provided on the front panel of the various units to indicate if the system is
normal or if afault is detected. In addition, normally open and normally closed alarm contacts
(for both major and minor alarms) are provided at the DHU for connection to acustomer
provided external alarm system. This could bealocal system or automatic call-out system.
1.2 Digital Host Unit Description
The DHU, shown in Figure 2, serves as the BTS servicing unit for the Digivance ICS. The
DHU provides the following basic functions:
RF inputs and outputs
Optical interface to the DRUs or DEUs
Digitizing of the cellular forward path RF signal

1.2.1 Primary Components
The DHU consists of two electronic circuit board assemblies, apower supply assembly, and a
fan assembly that are mounted within apowder-coated sheet metal enclosure. The metal
enclosure provides amounting point for the electronic assemblies, serves as aheat sink, and
controls RF emissions. Except for the fan units, the electronic circuit board assemblies are not
user replaceable. The DHU is designed for use within anon-condensing indoor environment
such as inside awiring closet or cabinet. All controls, connectors, and indicators are mounted
on the DHU front panel for convenient access. Cable management functions for the power and
fiber optic cables are provided by a cable management tray that extends outward from the
DHU front panel.
1.2.2 Mounting
The DHU may be used in both rack-mount and wall-mount applications. For rack mount
applications, apair of reversible mounting brackets is provided that allow the DHU to be
mounted in either a19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. When rack-mounted,
the front panel of the DHU is flush with the front of the rack. The cable management tray
extends 3.9 inches (99 mm) beyond the front panel. For wall-mount applications, apair of
holes is provided in the cable management tray which allow the DHU to be mounted on any
flat vertical surface. The DHU should be oriented with the front panel facing upward when
wall-mounted. Fasteners are provided for rack-mount applications.
ADCP-75-110 Issue 2B July 2001

1.2.3 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
The DHU is designed to detect internal circuitry faults and optical port faults. Various front
panel Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators turn from green to red or yellow if afault is
detected or an optical input is lost. Aset of alarm contacts (normally open and normally
closed) are also provided for reporting an alarm to an external alarm system when afault is
detected. Both major alarm (all fault conditions except high temperature) and minor alarm
(high temperature fault condition) contacts are provided.
1.2.4 RF Signal Connections
The RF signal connections between the DHU and the BTS are supported through two type N
female connectors. One connector is used for coaxial cable connection of the forward path RF
signal. The other connector is used for coaxial cable connection of the reverse path RF signal. In
most installations, the DHU will not connect directly to the BTS but will be connected to an
interface device such as the RIU or the LIU. Additional information concerning the DHU to BTS
interface is provided in the Digivance ICS Remote Interface Unit User Manual (ADCP-75-113) and
in the Digivance ICS Local Interface Unit User Manual (ADCP-75-114).
The DHU requires acomposite forward path RF signal level of –20 dBm or lower. An
overdrive limiter protects the system against excessive inputs but does not function during
normal operation. The DHU does not have Automatic Gain Control (AGC).
1.2.5 Optical and Electrical Interface Connections
Operation of the DRUs and DEUs is supported by six optical and six electrical ports. Each optical
and electrical interface connection includes astatus LED, asmall form factor LC type optical
transceiver, an RJ-45 DC power jack, and aport enable/disable switch. An optical port may be
connected to aDRU, aDEU, or not used. An electrical port may be connected to aDRU or not
used. Unused ports require no connections at all and are disabled via the corresponding port
enable/disable switch. When disabled, the port LED is off, the alarm reporting function is disabled,
the laser is off, and the DC power is off. Enabling the enable/disable switch activates all functions.
1.2.6 Powering
The DHU is powered by 120–240 Vac (50–60 Hz) power which is supplied through astandard
three-conductor AC power cord. The power cord is provided with the DHU and is 98 inches
(2.5 meters )long. Aresetable circuit breaker/On-Off switch is provided at the unit front
panel. The switch applies power to the DHU internal power supply.
1.2.7 Cooling
Continuous air flow for cooling is provided by dual fans mounted on the right side of the housing.
Aminimum of 3inches (76 mm) of clearance space must be provided on both the left and right
sides of the DHU for air intake and exhaust. An alarm is provided that indicates if ahigh
temperature condition (>50º C/122º F) occurs. The fans may be field-replaced if either fan fails.
1.2.8 User Interface
The DHU user interface consists of the various connectors, switches, terminals, and LEDs that
are provided on the DHU front panel. The DHU user interface points are indicated in Figure 3
and described in Table 1.

1.4.1 Primary Components
The DEU consists of two electronic circuit board assemblies and apower supply that are
mounted within apowder-coated sheet metal enclosure. The metal enclosure provides a
mounting point for the electronic assemblies and serves as aheat sink. Except for the fan
units, the electronic circuit board assemblies are not user replaceable. The DEU is designed for
use within anon-condensing indoor environment such as inside awiring closet or cabinet. All
controls, connectors, and indicators are mounted on the DEU front panel for convenient
access. Cable management functions for the power and fiber optic cables are provided by a
cable management tray that extends outward from the DEU front panel.
1.4.2 Mounting
The DEU may be used in both rack-mount and wall-mount applications. For rack mount
applications, apair of reversible mounting brackets is provided that allow the DEU to be
mounted in either a19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. When rack-mounted,
the front panel of the DEU is flush with the front of the rack. The cable management tray
extends 3.9 inches (99 mm) beyond the front panel. For wall-mount applications, apair of
holes is provided in the cable management tray which allow the DEU to be mounted on any
flat vertical surface. The DEU should be oriented with the front panel facing upward when
wall-mounted. Fasteners are provided for rack-mount applications.
1.4.3 Fault Detection
The DEU is designed to detect internal circuitry faults or loss of system inputs. Various front
panel Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators turn from green to red or yellow when afault is
detected or when an optical input is lost. The DEU transports the fault information to the DHU
or supporting DEU over the fiber optic link. Acorresponding port LED at the DHU or DEU
turns from green to red when the DEU reports afault.

1.4.4 Optical and Electrical Interface Connections
Operation of the DRUs and DEUs is supported by six optical and six electrical ports. Each
optical and electrical interface connection includes astatus LED, asmall form factor LC type
optical transceiver, an RJ-45 DC power jack, and a port enable/disable switch. An optical port
may be connected to aDRU, aDEU, or not used. An electrical port may be connected to a
DRU or not used. Unused ports require no connections at all and are disabled via the
corresponding port enable/disable switch. When disabled, the port LED is off, the alarm
reporting function is disabled, the laser is off, and the DC power is off. Enabling the
enable/disable switch activates all functions. The DEU also provides one optical port
designated the host port for the optical interface with the DHU or a supporting DEU.
1.4.5 Powering
The DEU is powered by 120–240 Vac (50–60 Hz) power which is supplied though astandard
three-conductor AC power cord. The power cord is provided with the DEU and is 98 inches
(2.5 meters) long. Areset able circuit breaker/On-Off switch is provided at the unit front
panel. The switch applies power to the DEU internal power supply.
1.4.6 Cooling
Continuous air flow for cooling is provided by dual fans mounted on the right side of the sheet
metal housing. Aminimum of 3 inches (76 mm) of clearance space must be provided on both
the left and right sides of the DEU for air intake and exhaust. An alarm is provided that
indicates if ahigh temperature condition (>50º C/122º F) occurs. The fans may be field-
replaced if either unit fails.
1.4.7 User Interface
The DEU user interface consists of the various connectors, switches, and LEDs that are
provided on the DEU front panel. The DEU user interface points are indicated in Figure 7 and

2 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 6of this manual for additional information.
2.1 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.
2.1.1 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 can be provided at the
BTS and DHU using the Local Interface Unit (LIU). The LIU is an accessory item that
provides adjustable gain or attenuation in both the RF forward and reverse path. The level of
the RF output signal from the BTS will vary 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 to provide the recommended composite maximum RF input signal level at the DHU
which 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 which is the maximum allowed.
In the reverse path, the input signal level required at the BTS will also vary 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 is –30 dBm.Therefore, it may be necessary to add some gain or attenuation to the
reverse path signal in order to achieve the required RF input signal level at the BTS. Ablock
diagram showing atypical local DHU to BTS interface is provided in Figure 8.

The LIU is rack or wall mountable and is powered by 120–240 Vac (50–60 Hz) power. Refer
to the Digivance Local Interface Unit User Manual (ADCP-75-113) for acomplete description
of the LIU.
2.1.2 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 the Remote Interface Unit (RIU). The RIU is
an accessory item that provides adjustable gain or attenuation in both the RF forward and
reverse paths. The RIU connects to adirectional antenna through aduplexer which provides
separate forward and reverse path connections for the DHU. In the forward path (downlink),
the RIU provides the DHU with the recommended composite maximum RF input signal level
of –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 is +13 dBm which is the maximum allowed.
In the reverse path, the required RF output signal level to 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 is –30 dBm.Therefore, it may be necessary to add gain or
attenuation to the reverse path signal in order to achieve the required output signal level at the
RIU antenna port. Ablock diagram showing atypical remote DHU to BTS interface is
provided in Figure 9.
The RIU is rack or wall mountable and is powered by 120–240 Vac (50–60 Hz) power. Refer
to the Digivance Remote Interface Unit User Manual (ADCP-75-114) for acomplete
description of the RIU.

2.2 Location and Mounting Requirements
2.2.1 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.
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. Orient the DHU/DEU 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.
Mount the DHU and DEU 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. Route all cables to the front panel for connection. Use the
cable retainers provided on the cable management tray to secure 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).
Allow sufficient air circulation or space between each unit when installed in amulti-unit rack
assembly because the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater
than room ambient. Provide aminimum clearance of 3 inches (76 mm) on both the left and
right sides of the unit for air intake and exhaust. Refer to Figure 2 for the DHU dimensions
and Figure 6 for the DEU dimensions.
2.2.2 DRU Location and Mounting Requirements
The DRU may be wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted. 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.
Mount the DRU in anon-condensing indoor environment. Route the DC power cable and fiber
optic links to the DRU front panel for connection. Route the antenna coaxial cable to the DRU
rear panel for connection. Provide aminimum of 3 inches (76 mm) of clearance space 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 aportable/flexible antenna will be installed, allow aminimum of 9 inches (229
mm) clearance along the surface with the antenna. Refer to Figure 4 for the DRU dimensions.
ADCP-75-110 Issue 2B July 2001
Page 19
©2001, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
2.3 Powering Requirements
2.3.1 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. Locate each unit so that an AC outlet is within the reach of the power cord.
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.
2.3.2 DRU Powering
The DRU is powered by 48 Vdc power which is supplied 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 350 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. Use category 3or 5twisted pair cable as the power supply cable when the DRU is
powered by the DHU or DEU. The maximum recommended length of the power cable is 500
meters.If the DRU will be located more than 500 meters from the DHU or DRU, the DRU must be
locally powered by a48 Vdc power converter. Route the power cable between the power source and
the DRU. Terminate both ends of the power cable with amale RJ-45 connector.
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.

2.4 Optical Options and Requirements
Each DHU and its associated DEUs and DRUs are connected over a pair of fiber optic links.
One link transports the forward path optical signal and the other link transports the reverse
path optical signal. Either 50 or 62.5 micron core multi-mode fiber optic cable may be used
for the optical link. If 50 micron cable is used, the optical link may be up to 750 meters (2461
ft) in length. If 62.5 micron cable is used, the optical link may be up to 500 meters (1,641 ft)
in length. Adiagram of the optical connections is shown in Figure 11.

Whenever possible, use conduit or aguideway such as the FiberGuide system to route the optical
links between the DHU, the DEUs, and the DRUs. 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.
2.5 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
required to link the DHU with the LIU and the LIU with the BTS. In aremote interface,
coaxial cables are required to link the DHU with the RIU and the RIU with the donor antenna.
The DHU, LIU, and RIU are equipped with N-type female connectors for connecting the
forward and reverse path coaxial cables. Use high performance, flexible, low loss 50-ohm
coaxial communications cable (RG 400 or equivalent) for all coaxial connections.
2.6 System Expansion Planning
The DEU enables 6-way expansion of any optical port. This makes it possible to add more
DRUs without having to install additional DHUs. Each DHU is equipped with six optical
ports. If more than six DRUs 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 DRUs to the
DHU through the installation of DEUs.
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
either be used as ahub for an expanded system or replaced with aDEU which is then connected to a
relocated DHU. It should also be noted that aDEU can be used as an optical regenerator. ADRU
may sometimes need to be located at apoint that is beyond the 500 or 750 meter limit (depending
on fiber type) imposed by the optical link. The solution is to install aDEU at the maximum optical
link limit (500 or 750 meters) from the DHU. This provides an additional 500 or 750 meters of
optical link beyond the DEU for connecting the DRU.
2.7 DRU Antenna Options
Various antennas, shown in Figures 12 and 13, 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.

2.8 External Alarm System Reporting Requirements
The DHU provides normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) dry alarm contacts for
reporting minor and major alarms to an external alarm system. Aminor alarm is defined as a
high 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. Use category 3 or 5 cable for the alarm wires. If an external alarm system is not in use,
no alarm connections are required.
2.9 Frequency Band Selection Requirements (1900 MHz)
The 1900 MHz version of the DHU and DRU must be configured by the installer to operate in
the appropriate forward and reverse path frequency band. Four band selections (AD, DBE,
BEF, and EFC) are possible. ADIP switch on the underside of each unit is provided for
selecting the required frequency band. The band selection must be done prior to installation
since the DIP switch is usually not accessible after the unit is mounted. Once the required
selection has been made, no further band adjustments are required.

2.10 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
Digivannce 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 specified 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 mount in the DHU and the DEU. The failure of
any other component within aunit will require replacement of the unit. Basic trouble-shooting
procedures are provided in Section 5 of this manual.
2.11 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 6of this
manual for additional information.
2.11.1 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-75-110 Issue 2B July 2001
Page 25
©2001, 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.
2.11.2 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 (LIU with BTS or RIU with BTS through donor antenna) for
the DHU.
4. If an LIU connection with the BTS is required, determine the distance to the DHU.
5. If aRIU 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.
2.11.3 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. Additional information concerning the
DHU to BTS interface is provided in the Digivance ICS Remote Interface Unit User Manual
(ADCP-75-113) and in the Digivance ICS Local Interface Unit User Manual (ADCP-75-114).
ADCP-75-110 Issue 2B July 2001
Page 26
©2001, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
2. Install aDRU as described in the Digital Remote Unit Installation Instructions (ADCP -
75-112). If a donor antenna is used, install the DHU and RIU close to the donor antenna.
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 DRUs and also any DEUs 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.
2.11.4 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.

3.5 Mounting Procedure
The DHU may be either rack-mounted or wall-mounted. Of the procedures that follow, use
which ever procedure is appropriate for the installation:
Note: To insure that all optical connectors and transceivers remain dust-free during
installation, leave all dust caps and dust protectors in place until directed to remove
them for connection.
3.5.1 Rack Mount Installation
The DHU may be mounted in either a19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. Both
US standard and metric machine screws are included for rack mounting the DHU. When
loading the DHU in arack, make sure the mechanical loading of the rack is even to avoid a
hazardous condition such as aseverely unbalanced rack. The rack should safely support the
combined weight of all the equipment it holds. In addition, the maximum recommended
ambient temperature for the DHU is 50º C (122º F). Allow sufficient air circulation or space
between units when the DHU is installed in amulti-unit rack assembly because the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient.
Warning:Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when
installing or using electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install
or use electrical equipment in awet location or during alightning storm.
Use the following procedure to install the DHU in the equipment rack:
1. The DHU is shipped with the mounting brackets installed for 19-inch rack installations.

3.8 Ports 16 Optical Connections
The optical interface between the DHU and each DEU or DRU is supported by six optical
ports. Each of the six optical ports provides aduplex LC type optical transceiver which is
mounted on the DHU front panel. One side of the transceiver provides the optical fiber
connection for the forward path (downlink) signal. The other side of the transceiver provides
the optical fiber connection for the reverse path (uplink) signal. Use the following procedure to
install the forward and reverse path optical fibers and to connect them to the DHU:
Danger:This equipment uses aClass 1Laser 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 transceiver of any digital unit or exposure to laser radiation
may result. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. Aprotective cap or
hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector
to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents
dirt particles from entering the transceiver or connector.
1. Obtain the required lengths of 50 or 62.5 micron core multi-mode fiber optic cable.
2. Route the fiber optic cable between the DHU and the DEU or DRU (if not already
routed) and cut to required length. Allow sufficient slack for dressing and organizing the
cables at each unit. Maintain aminimum bend radius of 2 inches (50 mm).
Note:The maximum distance for routing 50 micron core fiber optic cable is 750 meters
(2,461 feet). The maximum distance for routing 62.5 micron core fiber optic cable is 500
meters (1,641 feet).
3. Terminate each optical fiber with afield-installable LC type fiber optic connector as
shown in Figure 20. Follow the instructions provided by the connector manufacturer for
installing the connector.
4. Test each fiber for optical loss as described in Subsection 5.4.2 of this manual.
5. Designate one of the fibers as the forward path link and the other as the reverse path link
and attach an identification tag to each fiber end next to the connector.
6. Use the plastic joiner provided with the LC connectors to join the DHU Port 1forward
and reverse path connectors together (see Figure 20). Make sure the forward path and
reverse path connectors are oriented as shown.
Note:When viewing any Port 1-6 optical transceiver from the front, the forward path port is
on the left and the reverse path port is on the right.
7. Remove the dust caps from the optical fiber connectors and the port 1optical transceiver.
Note:Leave the dust cap in place on any unused optical port.
8. Clean each connector (follow connector supplier’s recommendations) and then insert the
optical link connector pair into DHU optical port 1 (see Figure 20).

3.9 DC Power Connections
The DC power interface between the DHU and each DRU is supported by six RJ-45 female
connectors. Each DHU RJ-45 connector provides nominal 48 Vdc power for the associated
DRU except when the DRU is powered with an ac/dc converter. A category 3 or 5 twisted pair
cable is used to feed the power from the DHU to the DRU. Use the following procedure to
install the DC power cable and to connect it to the DHU.
1. Obtain the required length of category 3 or 5 twisted pair cable.
2. Route the cable between the DHU and the DRU (unless already routed) and then cut to

3.10 Extermal Alarm System Connections
The alarm interface between the DHU and an external alarm system is supported by a six-
terminal plug (with screw-type terminals) that connects to areceptacle mounted on the DHU
front panel. The terminal plug provides connections to normally open (NO) and normally
closed (NC) dry type alarm contacts for both minor and major alarms. Acategory 3 or 5 cable
is typically used to connect the DHU to the external alarm system. Use the following
procedure to install the alarm wiring and connect it to the DHU:
1. Obtain the required length of category 3 or 5 cable.
2. Route the cable between the DHU and the external alarm system (if not already routed)
and then cut to required length. Allow sufficient slack for dressing and organizing the
cable at the DHU.
3. Strip back the outer cable sheath and insulation to expose the wires at both ends of the
cable and strip back 0.2 inches (5 mm) of insulation each wire.
4. Connect the Major alarm wire pair to the MAJOR COM/NC or MAJOR COM/NO
terminals (whichever is required by the external alarm system) on the DHU alarm
terminal connector (supplied with DHU) as shown in Figure 22.

external alarm system.
7. Dress and secure cable per standard industry practice.
3.11 AC Power Connections
The AC power interface between the DHU and the AC power source is supported by a 3-wire
AC power cord connector located on the DHU front panel. The AC connector provides a
connection point for the power cord which is provided separately with the DHU. Use the
following procedure to install the AC power cord:
1. Locate the AC power cord which is provided separately with the DHU. Use only the AC
power cord provided with the DHU or an equivalent UL/CUL listed 3-conductor, 18
AWG cord terminated in amolded-on plug cap rated 125 V, 15 A with amaximum
length of 6 feet (1.8 m).
Note:The DHU is intended to be used with a 3-wire grounding type plug which has a
grounding pin. Equipment grounding is required to ensure safe operation. Do not defeat
the grounding means. Verify DHU is reliably grounded when installed.
2. Place the DHU AC power ON/OFF switch, shown in Figure 23, in the OFF position
(press O).

4.4 Test System Performance
Testing the performance of the system involves completing various RF tests and telephone
service tests that verify if the system is functioning properly. Use the following procedure to
test the system performance:
1. Verify that the forward path (downlink) input signal level at the DHU is optimized. The
peak COMPOSITE forward path input signal level at the DHU should be set at
–20 dBm.
Note:In aCDMA system, the power level is dependent on the traffic. For optimum
operation in aCDMA system, the input signal level should be set below the level of the
pilot signal. Adjust level based upon observation of overload indicator during traffic
peaks (busy hour).
2. Verify that the reverse path (uplink) signal level at the local BTS or donor antenna is
optimized. Note that the reverse path output signal level required is dependent on service
provider signal to noise requirements, ICS system noise floor, the service provider
equipment, and the system configuration.
3. Check and record the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and any spurious
emission levels at and between all DRU antennas. Analyze all DRUs and the DHU
interface using aspectrum analyzer.
4. Plot the RSSI levels on a floor plan of the building and check against the pre-installation
RSSI levels to determine the overall and average RSSI improvement attributed to the
Digivance ICS. Check the entire Digivance coverage area.
5. Verify call processing and voice quality within the coverage areas. Initiate and receive
multiple long and short duration calls. Document the performance and address any issues
as calls are processed within the entire coverage area. Assuming a properly functioning
server RF link and BTS and a properly designed and optimized ICS system, there should
be no clicks, mutes, clipping, or crackles within the coverage area. In awireless office
application, hand off will not occur.
6. If the DHU interfaces with alocal BTS (microcell), verify the handoff function by
placing acall and confirming handoffs between the Digivance/microcell coverage area
and the outdoor macrocell coverage area (macro system) and vice versa. The handoff
should take place without any noticeable call quality or performance issues.
7. If the DHU interfaces with aremote BTS through a donor antenna, verify call quality by
placing acall and then walking between the Digivance coverage area and an area
receiving good coverage directly from the cell site base station. There should be no
noticeable difference in call quality.
8. Following service provider guidelines, test the 411 and 911 links to verify the routing of
emergency and special services calls on local BTS configurations.
9. Verify that the alarm reporting system functions properly by turning the DHU off. This
should generate amajor alarm and operate aset of alarm contacts. Check for alarm
confirmation from the service provider’s local switch and Network Operations Center
(NOC). Aminor alarm (high temperature fault condition) can be checked by opening or
closing (which ever applies) the minor alarm lead wires at the DHU. Note that this tests
only the external alarm system and does not verify operation of the Digivance alarm
reporting system.

5 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
This section explains the alarm reporting system, provides amethod for isolating and
troubleshooting faults, and provides procedures for replacing the DHU or DEU cooling fans.
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. When an alarm is reported, it will be necessary to
follow asystematic 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
unit components that can be replaced are the cooling fans which mount in the DHU and DEU.
The failure of any other component within aunit will required replacement of that unit.
5.1 Tools and Materials
The following tools and materials are required in order to complete the procedures in this
section:
ESD wrist strap
IR filtering safety glasses
Optical loopback device (such as Stratos Lightwave LC5-103-03) and LC duplex adapter
Optical power meter
Magnification device for inspecting LC connectors
Laser light source
Multimeter
Cell phone
RJ-45 circuit access tool (such as the Harris 8-wire Banjo Adapter)
Medium and small size flat-bladed screwdrivers
TORX screwdriver (T10)
5.2 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
Detection of a fault by the Digivance ICS will generate an external alarm response. LED
indicators are provided on the front panel of the various units to indicate when afault is
detected. In addition to LED indicators, the DHU also provides normally open (NO) and
normally closed (NC) dry alarm 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.
When the DHU alarm contacts are connected to an external alarm system, detection of a fault
will generate an alarm at the Network Operations Center (NOC). However, various types of
faults may not generate an alarm response. In this case, the first indication of a problem will
probably be from cell phone users reporting aloss of service or poor service. Whenever a
problem is reported, whether by a external alarm system or by a call from auser, refer to
Subsection 5.3 to isolate and correct the fault.

5.3 Fault Isolation and Troubleshooting
Table 11 provides fault isolation and troubleshooting guidelines. When aproblem is reported,
note the type of alarm generated (minor, major, or none) and any problems that may be
observed. Then check the LED indicators on the DHU and note any that are red, yellow, or
off.If aPort 1–6 OK/NOK LED indicator is any color but green, check the LED indicators on
the connected DEUs and/or DRUs. When the required information has been obtained, locate
the problem in Table 11, check out the suggested possible causes, and take corrective action as
required.

5.4 Test Procedures
5.4.1 Optical Loopback Test Procedure
Afaulty optical port, abreak in an optical fiber, or a fault in an optical connector will interrupt
communications between fiber linked components. Use the following procedure to determine
if afault exists with an optical port or with an optical link:
Danger:This equipment uses aClass 1Laser 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 transceiver of any digital unit or exposure to laser radiation
may result. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. Aprotective cap or
hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector
to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents
dirt particles from entering the transceiver or connector.
1. Put on the IR filtering safety glasses.
2. At the DHU or supporting DEU, place the PORT ON/OFF switch for the fiber port or
link to be tested in the OFF position (press O).
3. Disconnect the optical connectors at the DHU or supporting DEU optical port (near end
of fiber) and place adust cap over each connector.
4. Plug aloopback into the optical port to be tested as shown in Figure 24.

4. Inspect the optical connectors. Verify that each connector is clean and that no scratches
or imperfections are visible on the fiber end. Clean and polish the optical connector if
necessary.
5. Connect a laser light source to one end of the first optical fiber and an optical power
meter to the other end.
6. Verify that the power loss is within specifications (8 dB loss) for the length of the fiber
installed. If the power loss is not within specifications, repair or replace the optical fiber
and/or connector per local practice.
7. Repeat steps 5and 6for the second optical fiber.
8. Reconnect the optical connectors at the DHU or supporting DEU and the corresponding
DRU or remote DEU.
9. At the DHU or supporting DEU, place the PORT ON/OFF switch for the fiber link that
was tested in the ON position (press I).
5.4.3 DC Power Test Procedure
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. Use the following procedure to test the DC power cable:
1. Disconnect the DC power cable from the DRU.
2. Connect the RJ-45 circuit access tool to the DRU as shown in Figure 27.
3. Connect the DC power cable to the RJ-45 circuit access tool (see Figure 27).

4. Using aDC voltmeter, verify that the DC voltage level is between 34 and 48 Vdc
between any set of positive and negative (+/-) terminals at the RJ-45 circuit access tool
as shown in Figure 28. Due to source current limiting at the DHU or DEU, low voltage
can mean excess wire resistance, low source voltage, or excess remote current.
Warning:The DRU uses 48 Vdc power. To avoid electric shock or burns, use extreme care
when working near exposed terminals or uninsulated cables. Be careful not to touch exposed
terminals or to cause ashort between terminals when checking voltage levels.

the +/– pairs on the RJ-45 circuit access tool (see Figure 28).
7. Disconnect the DC power cable from the RJ-45 circuit access tool.
8. Re-connect DC power cable to the DRU.
5.5 DHU or DEU Fan Replacement Procedure
It is recommended that the fans (catalog #DGVI-100000FAN) be replaced every five years.
Replacement of afan requires that the DHU or DEU be turned off for ashort period of time. This
will drop all existing calls, cause atemporary loss of service, and generate amajor alarm. Use the
following procedure to replace the cooling fans within the DHU or the DEU:
1. Before touching the DHU or DEU or handling afan, slip on an Electro-Static Discharge
(ESD) wrist strap and connect the ground wire to an earth ground source. Wear the ESD
wrist strap while completing each section of the fan installation procedure.
Warning:Electronic components can be damaged by static electrical discharge. To prevent
ESD damage, always wear an ESD wrist strap when working on the DHU or DEU and when
handling electronic components.
2. Observe the fans (located on right side of enclosure) to determine which fan requires
replacement. The faulty fan may be stopped, running at areduced speed, or the fan
bearing may be noisy.
Note:Because the Mean Time Between Failures (MBTF) is the same for both fans, it may be
more efficient to replace both fans at the same time.
3. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring system operator that the system is going offline.

4. Place the DHU or DEU AC power On/Off switch (see Figure 3 or Figure 7) in the OFF
position (press O).
5. Remove the six flat-head screws (requires TORX screwdriver with T15 bit) that secure the
fan/grill assembly to the side of the enclosure as shown in Figure 29 and save for reuse.
6. Carefully withdraw the fan/grill assembly from the enclosure until the wiring harness is
exposed and the connectors are accessible.
7. Lift the small latch on each wiring harness connector (see Figure 29) and carefully
unplug each connector from the circuit board connector.

Figure 29. Fan/Grill Assembly Removal
8. Remove the four plastic rivets that secure the faulty fan to the grill by pushing outward
on rivet center post until the rivet can be withdrawn from the grill as shown in Figure 30.
9. Remove the faulty fan(s) from the grill and then locate the replacement fan(s).
10. Use the rivets removed in step 8to secure the replacement fan to the grill. Orient the fan so the
wiring harness is on the top and the arrow on the fan housing faces into the enclosure.
11. Connect the two wiring harness connectors to the circuit board connectors.
12. Secure the fan/grill assembly to the side of the enclosure (see Figure 29) using the six
flat-head screws removed in step 5.
