NOTE: Faulty cabling is the cause of a vast majority of problems. All CATV cable
should be tested to TIA-570-B specifications.
7.1.1 Component Location Requirements
Fusion components are intended to be installed in indoor locations only.
If outdoor installation is desired, such as a parking garage, the Fusion components
must be installed in the appropriate environmental enclosures.
7.1.2 Cable and Connector Requirements
Fusion equipment operates over the following:
• CATV 75 Ohm cable with F connectors
• Single-mode fiber (SMF) or multi-mode (MMF) cable with SC/APC fiber connec-
tors throughout the fiber network, including fiber distribution panels
These cables are widely-used, industry standards for the cable TV industry. The regu-
lations and guidelines for Fusion cable installation are identical to those specified by
the TIA/EIA 568-B standard and the TIA/EIA/570-A standards.
LGC Wireless recommends solid copper center conductor, plenum-rated CATV cable
and connectors for conformity to building codes, standards, and to ensure stated per-
formance of maximum distance and RF specifications.
CommScope 2065V cable or equivalent is required for RG-59.
CommScope 2279V cable or equivalent is required for RG-6.
CommScope 2293K cable may also be used for RG-11.
NOTE: Refer to Appendix A for more information related to 75 Ohm
CATV.
LGC Wireless recommends connectors with fixed centerpins to ensure proper seating
and to eliminate oxidation, which occurs with bare center conductors. Recommended
connectors are as follows:
CANARE Connectors
• FP-C4F for commScope 2065V cable
• FP-C55A for CommScope 2279V cable
• FP-C71A for CommScope 2293K cable

7.2 Safety Precautions
7.2.1 Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing LGC Wireless equipment:
1.
Provide sufficient airflow and cooling to the equipment to prevent heat build-up
from exceeding the maximum ambient air temperature specification. Do not com-
promise the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment.
2.
If you are removing the system, turn it off and remove the power cord first. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside the components.

The internal power supplies have internal fuses that are not user replaceable. Con-
sider the worst-case power consumption shown on the product labels when provi-
sioning the equipment’s AC power source and distribution.
4.
Verify that the Hub is grounded properly using the AC power cord third wire
ground.
NOTE: Be careful with the mechanical loading of the rack mounted hub.
Mount the equipment in the rack in such a way that a hazardous condition,
due to uneven mechanical loading, does not result,.
7.2.2 General Safety Precautions
The following precautions apply to LGC Wireless products:
• The units have no user-serviceable parts. Faulty or failed units are fully replaceable
through LGC Wireless. Please contact us at:
1-800-530-9960 (U.S. only)
+1-408-952-2400 (International)
• Although modeled after an Ethernet/LAN architecture and connectivity, the units
are not intended to connect to Ethernet data hubs, routers, cards, or other similar
data equipment.
• When you connect the fiber optic cable, take the same precaution as if installing
Ethernet network equipment. All optical fiber SC/APC connectors should be
cleaned according to the cable manufacturer’s instructions.
• When you connect a radiating antenna to an RAU, firmly hand-tighten the N con-
nector – DO NOT over-tighten the connector.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this equipment to rain or moisture. The components are
intended for indoor use only. Do not install the RAU outdoors. Do not
connect an RAU to an antenna that is located outdoors where it could
be subject to lightning strikes, power crosses, or wind.
• The Expansion Hub and RAU units are designed for intra-building cabling only.
Outdoor routing of any cabling to these units shall not exceed 140 feet.
NOTE: Outdoor cables farther than 140 feet must be installed with proper
lightning protection.

Safety Precautions
7.2.3 Fiber Port Safety Precautions
The following are suggested safety precautions for working with fiber ports. For
information about system compliance with safety standards, refer to Appendix B.
WARNING: Observe the following warning about viewing fiber
ends in ports. Do not stare with unprotected eyes at the connector
ends of the fibers or the ports of the hubs. Invisible infrared radia-
tion is present at the front panel of the Main Hub and the Expansion
Hub. Do not remove the fiber port dust caps unless the port is going
to be used. Do not stare directly into a fiber port.
•Test fiber cables: When you test fiber optic cables, connect the optical power
source last and disconnect it first. Use Class 1 test equipment.
•Fiber ends: Cover any unconnected fiber ends with an approved cap. Do not use
tape.
•Broken fiber cables: Do not stare with unprotected eyes at any broken ends of the
fibers. Laser light emitted from fiber sources can cause eye injury. Avoid contact
with broken fibers; they are sharp and can pierce the skin. Report any broken fiber
cables and have them replaced.
•Cleaning: Be sure the connectors are clean and free of dust or oils. Use only
approved methods for cleaning optical fiber connectors.
•Modifications: Do not make any unauthorized modifications to this fiber optic
system or associated equipment.
•Live work: Live work is permitted because LGC Wireless equipment is a Class 1
hazard.
•Signs: No warning signs are required.
•Class 1 laser product: The system meets the criteria for a Class 1 laser product
per IEC 60825-1: 1993+A1:+A2:2001 and IEC106825-2.

Using Hub Rack-Mounting Brackets for Direct Wall Installation
Connecting the Fiber Cables to the Main Hub
Considerations:
• Before connecting the fiber cables, confirm that their optical loss does not exceed
the 3 dB optical budget.
• If you are using fiber distribution panels, confirm that the total optical loss of fiber
cable, from the Main Hub through distribution panels and patch cords to the
Expansion Hub, does not exceed the optical budget.
• Make sure the fiber cable’s connectors are SC/APC (angle-polished). Using any
other connector type will result in degraded system performance and may damage
the equipment. (You can use an SC/APC pigtail if the fiber cable’s connectors are
not SC/APC. Refer to“Fusion Splicing of Fiber and Pigtail” on page 7-37. Or, you
can change the fiber’s connector to SC/APC.)
NOTE: Observe all Fiber Port Safety Precautions listed in Section 7.2.3 on page 7-5.

To clean the fiber ports:
You can clean the Hub’s fiber ports using canned compressed air or isopropyl alcohol
and foam tipped swabs.
Considerations:
• If using compressed air:
• The air must be free of dust, water, and oil.
• Hold the can level during use.
• If using isopropyl alcohol and foam tipped swabs:
• Use only 98% pure or more alcohol
Procedure using compressed air:
1.
Remove the port’s dust cap.
2.
Spray the compressed air away from the unit for a few seconds to clean out the
nozzle and then blow dust particles out of each fiber port.
Procedure using isopropyl alcohol:
1.
Remove the connector’s dust cap.
2.
Dip a 2.5mm lint-free, foam-tipped swab in isopropyl alcohol and slowly insert
the tip into the connector.
3.
Gently twist the swab to clean the port.
4.
Insert a dry swab into the port to dry it.
Additionally, you can use compressed air after the alcohol has completely evapo-
rated.
To clean the fiber ends:
Be sure that the fiber cable’s SC/APC connectors are clean and free of dust and oils.
You need lint-free cloths, isopropyl alcohol, and compressed air
1.
Moisten a lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol.
2.
Gently wipe the fiber end with the moistened cloth.
3.
Using a dry lint-free cloth, gently wipe the fiber end.
4.
Spray the compressed air away from the connector for a few seconds to clean out
the nozzle and then use it to completely dry the connector.
To test the fiber cables:
Perform cable testing and record the results. Test results are required for the final
As-Built Document.
To connect the fiber cables:
The fiber cable is labeled with either
1
or
2
, or is color-coded. In addition to these
labels, you should add a code that identifies which port on the Main Hub is being

Connecting the Fiber Cables to the Expansion Hub
Considerations:
• Before connecting the fiber cables, confirm that their optical loss does not exceed
3 dB optical budget. RL is less than -60dB.
• If fiber distribution panels are used, confirm that the total optical loss of fiber
cable, from the Main Hub through distribution panels and patch cords to the
Expansion Hub, does not exceed the optical budget.
• Make sure the fiber cable’s connectors are SC/APC (angle-polished).Using any
other connector type will result in degraded system performance and may damage
the equipment. (You can use an SC/APC pigtail if the fiber cable’s connectors are
not SC/APC, refer to “Fusion Splicing of Fiber and Pigtail” on page 7-37, or
replace the connectors.)
NOTE: Observe all Fiber Port Safety Precautions listed in Section 7.2.3 on page 7-5.
To connect the fiber cables:
The fiber cable is labeled with either
1
or

7.4.3 Installing RAUs
CAUTION: Install RAUs in indoor locations only. Do not con-
nect an antenna that is installed in an outdoor location to an RAU.
For outdoor installations, a protective enclosure is required.
Installing RAUs
Mount all RAUs in the locations marked on the floor plans.
Considerations:
• Install 800 iDEN and 850/1900 MHz RAUs so that their antennas will be separated
by enough space to reduce signal interference between the 800 and 850 bands.
Refer to Section , “800/850 MHz Isolation Requirements,” on page 7-27 for rec-
ommended distance between antennas.
• You can place the unit, without its fastening hardware, on a flat surface, such as a
shelf, desk, cabinet, or any other horizontal surface that allows stable placement
with the mounting base facing down to the mounting surface. For mounting to
other locations (that is, walls, ceilings, poles) the RAU must be securely mounted
using the 4 slotted mounting holes provided with #6 diameter fasteners. This
method of mounting must securely hold a minimum of 7 lbs. load.
• Attach the RAU securely to a stationary object (that is, a wall, pole, or ceiling tile).
• For proper ventilation:
• Keep at least
76 mm (3 in.)
clearance around the RAU to ensure proper venting.
• Do not stack RAUs on top of each other.
• Always mount the RAU with the solid face (containing the mounting holes)
against the mounting surface.
Installing Passive Antennas
Refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions to install passive antennas.
Location
Passive antennas are usually installed below the ceiling. If they are installed above
the ceiling, you must consider the additional loss due to the ceiling material when
estimating the antenna coverage area.
800/850 MHz Isolation Requirements
When deploying any RF system, give special attention to preventing receiver block-
ing or desensitization by out-of-band transmitters. Typically, sharp filters in the
receiver front-end will reduce the interfering transmitters to tolerable levels. In select
cases, the interferers may occupy a frequency band that is directly adjacent to the
receiving band and cannot be adequately rejected by filtering. The only recourse in
Fusion Installation Procedures

CONFIDENTIAL
D-620610-0-20 Rev A
these situations is to provide sufficient isolation by physically separating the interfer-
ing transmitters and receivers.
iDEN occupies spectrum at both 800 MHz and 900 MHz (Tx:806–825/Rx:851–870
and Tx:896–901/Rx:935–940), while the Cellular A and B carriers share a single 850
MHz block (Tx:869–894/Rx:824–849). The combination of these frequency bands,
800/900 MHz iDEN and 850 MHz Cellular, result in uplink (BTS receive) bands that
are adjacent to downlink (BTS transmit) bands. Figure 7-9 depicts these nearly con-
tiguous bands, with arrows indicating the interfering downlink and receiving uplink
bands.
Figure 7-9
800/850 MHz Spectrum
Installation of an in-building distributed antenna system (DAS) to provide coverage
for both 800/900 MHz iDEN and 850 MHz Cellular must account for these down-
link-to-uplink interference issues and provide adequate isolation.
LGC offers the following guidelines toward achieving the proper amount of isolation
when deploying LGC Wireless Unison DAS products.
Figure 7-10
Guideline for Unison RAU Antenna Placement
800 MHz iDEN Downlink and 850 MHz Cellular Uplink
A 2 MHz frequency gap (851 – 849 MHz) separates the 800 iDEN downlink and 850
Cellular uplink frequency bands. Because of this narrow spacing, 800 iDEN down-
link intermodulation products may fall within the 850 Cellular uplink band. In addi-
tion, 800 iDEN downlink signals near the lower edge of the band at 851 MHz may

cause the 850 Cellular uplink automatic level control (ALC) circuitry in the RAU to
engage and thereby reduce uplink gain.
To prevent either of these conditions, use the following guidelines:
• In-band 800 iDEN intermodulation products < -90dBm
• Lower frequency 800 iDEN signals < –30dBm for Fusion
Given a typical DAS configuration (4 iDEN carriers, omni-directional antennas, line
of sight), these guidelines translate to an antenna spacing (d1) of 6 – 9 meters.
850 MHz Cellular Downlink and 900 MHz iDEN Uplink
A 2 MHz frequency gap (896 – 894 MHz) separates the 850 Cellular downlink and
900 iDEN uplink frequency bands. Because of this narrow spacing, 850 Cellular
downlink intermodulation products may fall within the 900 iDEN uplink band. In
addition, 850 Cellular downlink signals near the upper edge of the band at 894 MHz
may cause the 900 iDEN uplink ALC to engage and thereby reduce uplink gain.
To prevent either of these conditions, use the following guidelines:
• In-band 850 Cellular intermodulation products < -90dBm
• Upper frequency 850 Cellular signals < –30dBm for Fusion
Given a typical DAS configuration (6 CDMA carriers for Fusion, omni-directional
antennas, line of sight), these guidelines translate to an antenna spacing (d2) of 8-14
meters.
Spacing between RAUs FSN-8519-1 and FSN-809019-1 should be in a range of from
8 to 14 meters.
Connecting the Antenna to the RAU
Connect a passive multi-band antenna to the N connector on the RAU using coaxial
cable with the least amount of loss possible.
CAUTION: Firmly hand-tighten the N connector – DO NOT
over-tighten the connector.
Connecting the CATV Cable
Considerations:
• Verify that the cable has been tested and the test results are recorded. This informa-
tion is required for the As-Built Document.
• Verify that only captive centerpin 75 Ohm Type-F connectors are used on the solid
copper center conductor CATV 75 Ohm cable.
• Verify that the CATV cable is labeled with:

7.4.3.2 Installing RAUs in a Multiple Operator System
When installing both iDEN and Cellular systems in parallel, either as dual-band or
multiple operator systems, you must take special provision to assure that the individ-
ual RAUs do not interfere with each other.
The 850/1900 MHz and 800/900/1900 MHz RAU’s antennas must be separated
by at least 8 meters (26 feet) to assure that the iDEN downlink signals do not
interfere with the Cellular uplink signals.
7.4.4 Configuring the System
Before the system can operate properly, use AdminBrowser to program the Fusion
Main Hub with the frequency bands that are to be distributed. The Hub must be pro-
grammed with the same frequencies as the RAU used.
NOTE: The frequency bands should automatically be set on power up and
this step should not be required.
Considerations:
• The AdminBrowser software, described in the AdminBrowser User Manual
(PN D-620607-0-20), must be running on a PC/laptop.
• Crossover Ethernet cable with male connectors required.
Connecting the PC to the Fusion Main Hub to Run AdminBrowser
1.
Connect the AC power cord to the Hub.
Make sure the Hub is grounded through the ground lug on the AC power and
the frame ground lug as required. The warranty does not cover damage
caused when an ungrounded Hub is powered on.
2.
Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet.
3.
Verify that all cables are properly connected on the Hub.
4.
Turn on the power to the Hub.
All LEDs blink through the power up sequence. At each port where an RAU is
detected (drawing current), the port LEDs lights green. The Fusion
STATUS
LED
is orange during system boot and should turn green after about 90 seconds if it
finds no faults. This state indicates the band’s are not programmed and provides
feedback on the status of the RAU connections.
The LEDs blink for 20 seconds as a visual check that they are functioning.
5.
Connect the cross-over Ethernet cable to the PC/laptop and then to the

Splicing Fiber Optic Cable
sponding legal sanctions of the national jurisdiction involved. Ownership of
LGC Wireless equipment carries no automatic right of use.
7.5 Splicing Fiber Optic Cable
The fiber cable must have SC/APC connectors for the entire run. If it does not, you
can splice a pigtail, which has SC/APC connectors, to the fiber cable.
LGC offers two pigtails: one for single-mode fiber (PN 4013SCAPC-3) and one for
multi-mode fiber (PN 4012SCAPC-3).
LGC Wireless recommends fusion splices because they have the lowest splice loss
and return loss. Mechanical splices have higher losses and higher back reflection than
fusion splices and are not recommended.
Using a fusion splicer involves fusing together two butted and cleaved ends of fiber.
The fusion splicer aligns the fibers and maintains alignment during the fusion pro-
cess. Fusion splices have very low loss (typically less than 0.05 dB) and very low
back reflection (return loss). Fusion splices should be organized in a splice tray
designed to store and protect the splices.
Fusion Splicing of Fiber and Pigtail
Before you begin, make sure the fusion splicer is set to the proper mode (that is, sin-
gle- or multi-mode).
To fusion splice the fiber optic cable to the SC/APC pigtail: Option A
1.
Secure both the fiber cable and the SC/APC pigtail in a splice tray that is installed
immediately adjacent to the Hub.
2.
Prepare the fiber end by cutting back the polyethylene jacket, the kevlar or fiber-
glass strength members, the extruded coating, and the buffer coating in order to
expose the “bare fiber” – cladding plus core.
Ensure that sufficient slack is maintained in order to be able to reach the fusion
splicer.
3.
Clean the unclad fiber core using isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes.
4.
Cleave the unclad fiber to the length prescribed by the fusion splicer’s specifica-
tion sheets.
5.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the SC/APC pigtail.
6.
Pass the splice sleeve onto the fiber strand.
7.
Position both fiber ends in the fusion splicer and complete splice in accordance
with the fusion splicer’s operation instructions.

8.
Ensure that the estimated loss for the splice as measured by the fusion splicer is
0.10 dB or better.
9.
Slide the fusion splicing sleeve over the point of the fusion splice.
10.
Place the sleeve and fused fiber into the fusion splicer’s heater.
11.
Allow time for the splice sleeve to cure.
12.
Return fiber splice to the splice tray, store the sleeve in a splice holder within the
tray, and store excess cable length in accordance with the tray manufacture’s
directions.
After successfully testing the fiber, plug the SC/APC pigtail into the proper opti-
cal port on the Hub.
To fusion splice the fiber optic cable to the SC/APC pigtail: Option B
1.
Secure both the fiber cable and the SC/APC pigtail in a splice tray portion of a
fiber distribution panel.
2.
Prepare the fiber end by cutting back the polyethylene jacket, the kevlar or fiber-
glass strength members, the extruded coating, and the buffer coating in order to
expose the “bare fiber” – cladding plus core.
Ensure that sufficient slack is maintained in order to be able to reach the fusion
splicer.
3.
Clean the unclad fiber core using isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes.
4.
Cleave the unclad fiber to the length prescribed by the fusion splicer’s specifica-
tion sheets.
5.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the SC/APC pigtail.
6.
Pass the splice sleeve onto the fiber strand.
7.
Position both fiber ends in the fusion splicer and complete splice in accordance
with the fusion splicer’s operation instructions.
8.
Ensure that the estimated loss for the splice as measured by the fusion splicer is
0.10 dB or better.
9.
Slide the fusion splicing sleeve over the point of the fusion splice.
10.
Place the sleeve and fused fiber into the fusion splicer’s heater.
11.
Allow time for the splice sleeve to cure.
12.
Return fiber splice to the splice tray, store the sleeve in a splice holder within the
tray, and store excess cable length in accordance with the tray manufacture’s
directions.
13.
After successfully testing the fiber cable, plug the SC/APC pigtail into the back
side of the SC/APC bulkhead in the Fiber Distribution Panel.
Install a SC/APC patch cord between the front side of the SC/APC bulkhead and
the proper optical port on the Hub.
NOTE: Refer to Section 9 for troubleshooting.

7.7 Connecting Contact Alarms to a Fusion System
The Fusion Main Hub can generate (source) two contact alarms as well as sense three
external contact alarm.
• Alarm Source (refer to Section 7.7.1 on page 7-50)
The Fusion Main Hub has two alarm contacts, fault (major) and warning (minor).
These contacts are normally-closed (NC) and will open when an internal alarm is
detected.
NOTE: The contact can be changed to normally-open (NO) with Admin-
Browser. This is not recommended since no alarm would be sent if power to
the Fusion Main Hub fails.
• Fault is activated when any faults or disconnects are detected.
• Warning is activated when any warning conditions are detected except lockout
or when the end-to-end system test is not valid.
• Alarm Sense (refer to Section 7.7.2 on page 7-53)
The Fusion Main Hub can monitor 3 external alarm contacts. Each port can be con-
figured for normally-open (NO) or normally-closed (NC) contacts. The interface
expects a set of floating contacts, and an external voltage source is not required for
this interface. Use AdminBrowser to monitor the port status.
Table 7-8 lists the alarm types, equipment to which the Fusion Main Hub is con-
nected, cable(s) used, and the faults and warnings that are detected.

Do not mix Unison and Fusion Main Hubs in the same daisy-chain. You can
daisy-chain multiple Unison Hubs together and use the Alarm Sense Adapter Cable to
connect the chain to a Fusion Main Hub, which will act as an alarm sensor.
7.7.1 Alarm Source
Fusion always acts as an alarm source, no matter what type of equipment you are con-
necting to. Refer to Section 7.7.2 on page 7-53 if you want Fusion to sense Unison
contact closures or other external alarms.
Using MetroReach Focus to Monitor Fusion
When you connect MetroReach Focus to the Fusion, the Fusion Main Hub is the out-
put of the alarms (alarm source) and Focus is the input (alarm sense), as shown in
Figure 7-22. Focus supports only faults (major errors).

Connecting Contact Alarms to a Fusion System
Using a Base Station to Monitor Fusion
NOTE: The BTS must be configured, by the carrier, for contact closure monitoring
prior to connecting a Fusion Main Hub to it.
When you connect a BTS to Fusion, the Fusion Main Hub is the output of the alarms
(alarm source) and the BTS is the input (alarm sense), as shown in Figure 7-23. An
interface cable is required between the daisy-chain cable and the BTS. Because BTS
alarm interface pinouts and Fusion-to-BTS distances vary, this cable is often custom
and wired on-site. Refer to Section 3.2.1 for Alarm Contact details (Normally
Closed).
Figure 7-23
Using a BTS to Monitor Fusion
NOTE: For normally open contacts, the fault and warning contacts need to
be wired in parallel with other Main Hubs.

7.7.2 Alarm Sense
Use AdminBrowser to enable the Fusion system for “alarm sense” when connecting
to the contact closure of Unison Main Hubs or other external alarms (refer to Set
Contact Sense Properties in the AdminBrowser User Manual).
Using Fusion to Monitor Unison
When you connect Unison to Fusion, the Fusion Main Hub is the input of the alarms
(alarm sense) and the Unison is the output (alarm source), as shown in Figure 7-25.
The input alarm sense needs to be set to normally closed (NC).
Figure 7-25
Using Fusion to Monitor Unison
Unison supports only faults. You must use the Alarm Sense Adapter Cable (refer to
page 7-56) to interface the daisy-chain cable to Fusion. The adapter cable is required
because it translates the Unison fault pinout to the sense input pins on the Fusion
Main Hub.

When convenient, perform System Test to optimize performance.
During System Test, the entire system is temporarily off-line and no RF is
being transmitted.
Checking the RAU’s LEDs
1.
The RAU’s
LINK
and
ALARM
LEDs should blink (green/red) on power up.
• If the LEDs do not blink on power up, replace the RAU.
2.
After several seconds both LEDs should change to green, which indicates that the
unit has been successfully replaced, there is communication with the Hub, and the
RAU band is correct.
a.
If the
LINK
LED remains green and the
ALARM
LED remains red, verify that
the RAU model is correct for the intended frequency band.
– Disconnect the cable and then reconnect it once; doing this more than once
will not change the result.
b.
If both LEDs still don’t change to green, use AdminBrowser to determine the
exact nature of the fault and see a recommendation of how to correct it.
c.
If both LEDs turn red (after 90 seconds), the Hub has terminated communica-
tions.

AdminBrowser Tasks
• The Main Hub automatically issues the band setting.
• When convenient, use AdminBrowser to perform System Test in order to optimize
performance.
During System Test, the entire system is temporarily off-line and no RF is
being transmitted. For a fully loaded system (one Main Hub, four Expansion
Hubs, and 32 RAUs), it can take up to 1.5 minutes to complete the test.
Checking the Expansion Hub’s LEDs
• The LEDs should blink through all states on power up.
• If the LEDs do not blink on power up, replace the Expansion Hub.
• If the LEDs do not illuminate at all, make sure the AC power cable is con-
nected.
• The
UL STATUS
and
DL STATUS
LEDs should be green.
• The
E-HUB STATUS
and
POWER
LEDs should be green.
• For each CATV port that has an RAU connected the LEDs should be green.
It can take several seconds for each CATV connection for the LEDs to display
properly.

During System Test, the entire system is temporarily off-line and no RF is
being transmitted.
Checking the Main Hub’s LEDs
• The LEDs should blink through a 5-second test on power up.
• If the LEDs do not blink on power up, replace the Main Hub.
• If the LEDs do not illuminate at all, make sure the AC power cable is con-
nected.
• For each fiber optic port that has a connected Expansion Hub, which has been pro-
grammed with a band, the
PORT
LED should be green.
• Refer to Section 9.3, “Troubleshooting,” on page 9-3 for more LED states.

9.2 Maintenance
Keep the fiber ports clean and free of dust. No other periodic maintenance of the
Fusion equipment is required.
To clean the fiber ports:
You can clean the Hub’s fiber ports using canned compressed air or isopropyl alcohol
and cotton swabs.
Considerations:
• If you use compressed air:
• The air must be free of dust, water, and oil.
• Hold the can level during use.
• If using isopropyl alcohol and foam-tipped swab:
• Use only 98% pure or more alcohol.
Procedure using compressed air:
1.
Remove the connector’s dust cap.
2.
Spray the compressed air away from the unit for a few seconds to clean out the
nozzle and then blow dust particles out of each fiber port.
Procedure using isopropyl alcohol:
1.
Remove the connector’s dust cap.
2.
Dip a 2.5mm lint-free, foam-tipped swab in isopropyl alcohol and slowly insert
the tip into the connector.
3.
Gently twist the swab to clean the connector.
4.
Insert a dry swab to dry the connector.
Additionally, you can use compressed air after the alcohol has completely evapo-
rated.

9.3 Troubleshooting
NOTE: Fusion has no user-serviceable parts. Faulty or failed units are fully
replaceable through LGC Wireless.
Sources of potential problems include:
• Faulty cabling/connector
• Malfunction of one or more Fusion components
• Antenna, base station, or repeater problem
• External RF interface
• Tripped circuit breaker
• Equipment is not grounded
• Using an Ethernet crossover cable that does not support full hardware handshaking
when using AdminBrowser
NOTE: Faulty cabling is the cause of a vast majority of problems. All CATV 75
Ohm cable should be tested to TIA-570-B specifications. The RAU will be damaged
if the cable connector is not installed properly.
You must use AdminBrowser for troubleshooting the system, use the LEDs only as
backup or for confirmation.
If you cannot determine the cause of a problem after following the recommended pro-
cedures, call LGC Wireless customer help hot line:
1-800-530-9960 (U.S. only)
+1-408-952-2400 (International)
Or, email us at lgccustomersupport@lgcwireless.com.
Please provide the following information:
• Serial number of the unit
• Description of the problem
• Using AdminBrowser 1.00, access Special Features, then the Get Service
Information window. Save and email this file to LGC Wireless.
• What is the length of the CATV cable? What type is it (for example RG-6)?
• Status of the LEDs on the unit
• Was the unit power cycled?

9.3.1 Troubleshooting Using AdminBrowser
Use AdminBrowser software to determine the current faults and warnings for all of
the units in the system. To troubleshoot, start with the Fusion Main Hub’s faults AND
warnings, then proceed to each of the Expansion Hubs, finishing with each of the
RAUs.
NOTE: AdminBrowser v1.00 displays events (faults, warnings, or status
messages) depending on your view preference. To change your view prefer-
ence, refer to Section 3.3.2, “View Preference,” on page 3-10.

Faults usually impact service; warnings may impact service; status messages contain
information that should not be ignored, but indicate conditions that do not generally
impact service.
NOTE: System commands can take longer to execute compared to compo-
nent commands.
NOTE: This RAU icon indicates there is fault on the RAU. This icon
indicates a disconnected device. You cannot request status on a discon-
nected device.
9.3.1.1 Troubleshooting Recommendations
Some actions that you can take, depending on the device fault or warning include, are
as follows:
a.
Hardware faults on Expansion Hub.
– Try swapping fiber with another Expansion Hub at the Main Hub.
– Try cleaning the fiber and the fiber ports with alcohol foam tip swab and
compressed air. See Section , “To clean the fiber ports:,” on page -2.
– Power cycle the Expansion Hub.

e.
Try isolating the system components:
– Check to see if the whole system is effected or a portion of the system.
– If the whole system is effected, disconnect the DAS system from the RF
source and see if the RF source is working.
– Continue to isolate by disabling portions of the system. Under System Con-

9.3.1.2 Fault/Warning/Status Indications
Once all of the units are powered on and the cable connections are made, the faults
from each unit can be requested using AdminBrowser. Start with the Fusion Main
Hub and work downstream.
Resolve all faults first and then check the warnings. Take appropriate action to
resolve the faults, as indicated in the following tables. In cases where there is more
than one possible cause, they are listed from the “most likely” to the “least likely”
cause. Actions are listed in the order that they should be performed; not all actions
may need to be done.
NOTE: If you have a red
STATUS
LED without a fault message, it probably
indicates that the unit is locked out.
Refer to Appendix C for tables containing Fault, Warning, and Status messages and
their meanings.
9.3.2 Troubleshooting Using LEDs
The following troubleshooting guide is from the perspective that all Fusion equip-
ment is installed, their cables are connected, and they are powered on; it is assumed
that the system was operating normally before the problem to be diagnosed occurred.
Always use AdminBrowser, if possible, to troubleshoot the system. The Fusion Main
Hub and Expansion Hub LEDs are for backup troubleshooting. The RAU LEDs prob-
ably will not provide additional information for troubleshooting.

NOTE: for Canadian customers, the Manufacturer’s rated output power

of
this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple
carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB,
especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference

to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input
power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.
NOTE: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
B.2 Human Exposure to RF
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has developed guidelines for
evaluation of human exposure to RF emissions. The guidelines incorporate limits for
Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) for power density of transmitters operating
at frequencies between 300 kHz and 100 GHz. Limits have been set for portable,
mobile, and fixed equipment. LGC products fall in the category of fixed equipment;
products intended to be permanently secured and exposures are evaluated for dis-
tances greater than 20cm (7 7/8”). Portable devices fall into exposures of less than
20cm, are SAR evaluations are used.
Antenna gain is restricted to 1.5 W ERP (2.49 W EIRP) in order to satisfy RF expo-
sure compliance requirements. If higher than 1.5 W ERP, routine MPE evaluation is
needed. The antennas should be installed to provide at least 20 cm from all persons to
satisfy MPE requirements of FCC Part 2, 2.1091.
Basic MPE evaluation is performed by taking the maximum power output of the
equipment, the gain of the antenna to be used, and distance from the antenna, refer-
enced in FCC OET Bulletin 65 “Evaluation Compliance with FCC Guidelines for
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency for Electric Fields”.
LGC products transmit well below the FCC power density limits. FCC defines power
output limits
at 20cm distance for various frequency ranges:
• Over 300 mHz to 1.5 GHz the limit is determined by frequency/1500
• Above 1.5 GHz the limit is 1mW/cm2
The basic equation for determining power density is:
S = PG / 4πR
2
1. “Manufacturer’s rated output power” refers to Fusion’s downlink P1dB. The power per carrier tables take into account this
power reduction for multiple carriers.

D-620610-0-20 Rev A
Where S is power density in mW/cm2
PG, the transmitted power from the antenna identified as EIRP (Equivalent Isotropi-
cally Radiated Power), is the product of power output of device and antenna gain, in
mW.
R is the distance of interest from the antenna.
Typical Installation Example:
Assuming an antenna is placed on a 10 foot ceiling, for a person 6 feet tall, the dis-
tance from antenna to body is 4 feet (112 cm.).
For a PCS 1900 or Cell 850 remote unit, the maximum power output, according to the
power table in Section 6.3 Maximum Output Power per Carrier on page 6-4, is 16.5
dB.
Assuming a 7 dBi antenna is used, PG in the equation is equal to 23.5 dB (224 mW)
EIRP.
Using S = PG/4
π
R
2
S = 224/(4x3.14) x (122)
2
= 0.001 mW/cm
2
Also, assuming a minimum distance of 20 cm according to FCC regulations”
S = 224/(4 x 3.14) x (20)
2
= 0.04 mW/cm

are not displayed by a given firmware version.
C.1 Faults Reported by Fusion Main/SingleStar Hubs
Faults indicate service-impacting conditions and should be given immediate atten-
tion.
Once all of the units are powered on and the cable connections are made, the faults
from each unit can be requested using AdminBrowser. Start with the Fusion Main
Hub and work downstream.
Resolve all faults first and then check the warnings. Take appropriate action to
resolve the faults, as indicated in the following tables. In cases where there is more
than one possible cause, they are listed from the “most likely” to the “least likely”
cause. Actions are listed in the order that they should be performed; not all actions
may need to be done.
