8. Select an attenuator that is as close to the value calculated in step 7as possible. Select a
value that will adjust the signal level of the composite input signal to fall within the
specified range.
9. Install the external attenuator in the coaxial cable that is connected to the FORWARD RF
IN port at the HU.
10. Subtract the value of the external attenuator used in step 9from the total composite signal
power (Ptot)and record the result. This value will be required when setting the attenuation
of the HU’s internal forward attenuator.
2.4 Enter Site Number and Site Name
All HU’s and RU’s are programmed with the same site number and site name. It is therefore
necessary to assign aunique site name and site number to the HU and RU before they can be
connected to the same CAN. Use the following procedure to assign aunique site number and
name to each HU and RU system:
1. Click on the HOST Config tab and on the REMOTE Config tab. The HOST Config
display and the REMOTE Config display will open within the EMS main window as
shown in Figure 4-6.

does not have to be entered. When the HOST Site Number is entered, the system will
subtract 1from the HOST Site Number and automatically enter the result for the
REMOTE Site Number.
5. Right-click on the REMOTE Site Name field (see Figure 4-6). The Site Name pop-up
screen will open. Enter aunique name for the REMOTE. The name may be up to 32
characters long and must not contain any spaces. The name may include numbers,
punctuation, and upper or lower case letters and must always begin with aletter. Click on
OK to close the screen and make the changes take effect.
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 input signal input at the HU’s FORWARD RF IN port. The maximum
output power that can be provided by the system is 40.85 dBm (12 watts). The total forward
path gain that is provided by the system (with host and remote forward attenuators set to 0dB)
is 80.85 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 4-8.
2. Right-click on the Host Fwd Att section of the display (see Figure 4-6). The Host Fwd
Att pop-up screen will open as shown in Figure 4-9.
3. Obtain the value of the total composite input signal level as determined in step 10 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 80.85 (the total
system gain) and then adding the composite input signal level. The result (see sample
calculation) is the amount of attenuation required.
Atten Required =80.85 –(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 DDS Antenna Ports
The RF output signal level should be measured at the DDS ANTENNA ports 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 in the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the antenna cable from the DDS ANTENNA 1port.
3. Connect aspectrum analyzer or RF power meter to the DDS ANTENNA 1port. (Check
the input rating of the test equipment and insert aPAD if necessary.)
4. Place the RF ON/OFF switch on the LPA in the ON position.
5. Measure the RF level of asingle carrier, such as the control channel, in dBm. Make sure
the resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer or power meter is narrow enough to
measure the power of the single 30 kHz channel only.
6. Calculate the total composite signal power using the following formula:
Ptot = Pc+10Log N
Where,
Ptot is the total composite power in dBm
Pcis the power per carrier in dBm as measured in step 2, and
Nis the total number of channels.
7. Record the result calculated in step 6.
8. Place the RF ON/OFF switch on the LPA in the OFF position.
9. Disconnect the spectrum analyzer or RF power meter from the DDS ANTENNA 1port.
10. Re-connect the antenna cable to the DDS ANTENNA 1port.
11. Repeat procedure for the DDS ANTENNA 2port.
2.7 Enter Remote Forward Attenuation
The STM internal forward path attenuator setting is used to increase or reduce the power level
of the composite output signal level at the DDS antenna ports. The maximum composite output
signal level at the DDS antenna ports is set using the Host internal forward attenuator (see
Section 2.4). However, component variations may result in the output power at the DDS antenna
ports 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 0dB. 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(s) cannot exceed 1000 Watts EIRP and the
antenna(s) must be permanently installed in afixed location that provides at least 6meters
(20 feet) of separation from all persons.

1. Click on the REMOTE LPA tab. The REMOTE LPA display will open within the EMS
main window as shown in Figure 4-10.
Figure 4-10. 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 4-1 shows the output signal level required to provide 5
watts per channel. The maximum output signal level provided by the system is 40.85 dBm
(12 watts) at each DDS antenna port.
3. Determine if more or less attenuation is required to produce the required output signal level.
4. Right-click on the Remote Fwd Att section of the display (see Figure 4-10). The Remote
Fwd Att pop-up screen will open as shown in Figure 4-11.

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 Pwr-VSWR Low
section (see Figure 4-10). This is primarily areference 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 apower level that is higher or lower 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 10 to 30 dB of gain in the reverse path. 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 EBTS reverse path input port.
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 4-12.
Note: To comply with Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements, the
maximum composite output from the antenna(s) cannot exceed 1000 Watts EIRP and the
antenna(s) must be permanently installed in afixed location that provides at least 6meters
(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 0to 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 asignificant 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 0µsec. 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 4-14.

1 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
This section explains the Digivance LRCS fault detection and alarm reporting system, provides
amethod for isolating and troubleshooting faults, and provides test and maintenance
procedures. The Digivance LRCS requires minimal regular maintenance to insure continuous
and satisfactory operation. Components that require regular replacement, cleaning, or testing
include the HU and RU fans and the RU air-filter and 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 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 internal components that can be replaced are the cooling fans
which mount in the HU, STM, and LPA. The failure of any other component within aunit will
required replacement of that unit.
1.1 Tools and Materials
The following tools and materials are required in order to complete the procedures in this
section:
•ESDwrist strap
•IRfiltering safety glasses
• Patch cords with SC connectors
•10dB in-line SC optical attenuators
•Opticalpower meter (1550 and 1310 nm)
• Laser light source
•TORXscrewdriver (with T10 bit)

MANUAL for tool recommendations)
2 FAULT DETECTION AND ALARM REPORTING
The Digivance LRCS on-board embedded software detects various unit and system faults and
reports them as either Major or Minor alarms. Amajor alarm indicates that the system has failed
in away that directly affects RF transport performance. This usually means that some calls or
perhaps all calls cannot be made over the system. AMinor alarm means that system
performance is not affected or in some cases, that the performance may no longer be optimal.
Four types of faults cause aminor alarm to be reported: overtemperature, fan failure, diversity
path failure, and an external minor fault (user defined fault). All other faults are reported as a
Major alarm.
Reporting of Major and Minor alarms is accomplished through the HU alarm contacts, the unit
front panel LED’s, the EMS software Maintenance Interface (MI), and the Network Operations
Center -Network Element Manager (NOC/NEM) interface.
The HU is equipped with aset of both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) alarm
contacts which are 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 are used to indicate unit and system status
and to convey alarm information. In addition to LED indicators, the LPA is also equipped with a
Digital Display that provides status messages. Adescription of the Host Unit, Spectrum
Transport Module, and Linear Power Amplifier LED indicators is provided respectively in
Table 5-1,Table 5-2,and Table 5-3.
The EMS software MI provides both asummary and amore 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. Asummary showing alist of all systems and their current
alarm status is presented through the Alarm OverView display. Adetailed list of alarm
information is presented through the HOST alarm display and the REMOTE alarm display. All
the inputs that the system reports as alarms are shown in the HOST and REMOTE alarm
displays.
The NOC/NEM interface provides the same summary and detailed list of alarm information as
the EMS software MI but in an ASCII text string format. Sending the command GET
ALARMSUMMARY produces alist of all systems and their current alarm status. Sending the
command GET ALARM ALL for aspecific system will produce adetailed list of alarm
information for the specified system.

3 FAULT ISOLATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Alarm information may be accessed and faults isolated using the information provided by the
unit front panel LED indicators, the EMS software MI alarm displays, or the NOC-EMS
interface. Because the alarm information provided by the EMS software MI and the NOC-EMS
interface is very detailed, refer to Table 5-4 or Table 5-5 to determine the unit LED indicator
(Host Unit or Remote Unit) that corresponds to the indicated alarm. Then refer to Table 5-6 or
Table 5-7 to identify the problem, check out the possible causes, and take corrective action.

4 TEST PROCEDURES
This section provides procedures for common troubleshooting and maintenance tests. Refer to
these procedures as needed when specified in the Fault Isolation and Troubleshooting tables in
Section 3.
4.1 Optical Power Test
Abreak in an optical fiber or afault with the optical connector will interrupt communications
between linked components or generate excessive errors. Use the following procedure to isolate
aproblem 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 switch in the OFF position (press O).
4. Disconnect the optical fiber connectors for the fiber to be tested at the HU and at the STM.
5. 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.
6. Connect alaser light source to one end of the optical fiber and an optical power meter to
the other end.
7. Verify that the power loss is within specifications. The optical loss budget for 9/125,
single-mode, dark fiber is 17 dB (typical). The optical power level should not exceed
–7 dBm to avoid overdriving the optical receiver. If the power loss is not within
specifications, repair or replace the optical fiber and/or connector per local practice.
8. Repeat steps 3through 6for each optical fiber that requires testing.
9. Reconnect the optical fibers at the HU and the STM.
10. When ready to put the system back into service, place the On/Off switch in the ON
position (press I)at both the HU and STM.
11. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring service that the system is going back online.
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 transmitter of any 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 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.

©2002, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
4.2 Optical Loopback Test
Afaulty optical port, abreak in an optical fiber, or afault in an optical connector will interrupt
communications between fiber linked components. The following procedures provide tests to
determine if afault exists with the primary optical ports (PORT 1/PORT 2) or with the
secondary optical port (PORT 3).
4.2.1 PORT 1/PORT 2 Loopback Test
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 PORT 1and PORT 2optical ports and
place adust cap over each connector.
5. Plug a10 dB in-line optical attenuator into the PORT 1optical port.
6. Connect apatch cord between the optical attenuator and the PORT 2optical port.
7. Place the On/Off switch in the ON position (press I)and observe the PORT 1/PORT 2
LED indicator.
8. The PORT 1/PORT 2LED indicator will turn either red or green. If the LED turns red, the
primary optical transmitter or receiver is faulty. Replace the unit and then recheck system
operation. If the LED turns green, the optical ports are good.
9. Place the On/Off switch in the OFF position (press O).
10. Remove the optical attenuator from the PORT 1optical port.
11. Remove the dust caps from the optical fiber connectors.
12. Clean each connector (follow connector supplier’s recommendations) and then insert each
connector into the appropriate optical port.
13. When ready to put the unit back into service, place the On/Off switch in the ON position
(press I).
14. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring service that the system is going back online.
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 transmitter of any 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 transmitter or optical fiber connector to avoid the

5.2 Remote Unit Cabinet Filter Cleaning Procedure
The RU cabinet filter cleans the RU intake air before it enters the cabinet. The filter should be
cleaned approximately once per year and more often in extremely dirty environments. If the
cabinet temperature gradually rises over along period of time and there are no fan failures, it is
possible that the filter is dirty and requires cleaning. Use the following procedure to clean the
RU cabinet filter:
1. Open the RU cabinet door as shown in Figure 5-1.
2. Loosen the hex nuts that secure the left and right filter brackets to the cabinet door.
3. Pull the filter upward and away from the cabinet door. Be careful not to damage the gasket
that provides the air seal.
4. Gently tap the filter against your hand to dislodge the dirt. If necessary, use compressed air
or avacuum cleaner to remove the dirt.
