4.3 INSTALL THE REMOTE

This chapter guides you through installing a Prism Remote, which requires 63 steps

that are divided into 9 sections. Follow the steps in the order in which they are

provided.

4.3.1 Unpack and Inspect the Remote and Components

This section provides instructions for opening the shipping boxes, verifying that all

parts have been received, and verifying that no shipping damage has occurred. Use

the following procedure to unpack and inspect the Host and any accessories:

Unpack and inspect the various components as follows:

11 Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling

that may have damaged the components in the container.

22 Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and

verify with the packing slip.

33 If damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier

and notify ADC Customer Service (see “Contacting ADC” on page 335). Save the

damaged cartons for inspection by the carrier.

44 Save all shipping containers for use if the equipment requires shipment at a

future date.

This is restricted access equipment and only service personnel should open and operate

this equipment using appropriate tools

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 a wet location or during a lightning storm.

Installation of the Remote may proceed separately from the installation of the

corresponding Host.

55 Unpack and inspect the RF Module as described in “Unpack and Inspect the

Remote and Components” on page 97.

66 Open the Remote enclosure.

77 Remove release liners, if present, from the thermal pads on the RF Module prior

to installing the module into the Remote chassis.

Thermal pads are located as follows:

•• one large pad on the back surface (LPA)

•• up to two on the front surface (DARTs)

•• two on the left side for the (RDI).

88 Hold the RF Module so that the DART card(s) face away from the Remote and the

Mounting Hook is toward the Receiving flange on the Remote chassis.

Handle the RF Module with care during installation. Be especially careful to not damage

the thermal- interface material (TIM), which is attached to the LPA. If the TIM is damaged,

the LPA can overheat. Before installing the RF Module, check to see if the heatsink

material is gouged or cracked. If the TIM is damaged, do not install the RF Module and

contact ADC for assistance (see “Contacting ADC” on page 335 for contact information).

If the thermal- interface material is damaged, the installation and use of the RF Module

may void the warranty of the RF Module.

4.4.8 AC Power Wiring Installation

A 15-foot, 3-wire cable with connectors is provided for the AC power connections.

The connector end of the cable connects to the AC power port located on the bottom

of the unit. The stub end of the cable must be routed to an external junction box (not

provided) for permanent connection to the AC power system wiring.

The AC power source must supply between 100 and 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz,

single-phase power through a circuit breaker or fuse. The AC power cable provides

three wire leads for line, neutral, and ground connections. The power cable is rated

for indoor or outdoor use and must not be placed within electrical conduit as this will

impede the cooling of the cable during usage. The electrical junction box and any

conduit, wire, and fittings required must be provided by the installer.

The antenna cable connections must be weather proofed (sealed) for outdoor

installations.

Use extreme caution when working with high voltage AC power. Ensure all power is

disconnected before working on power circuits.

All electrical work must comply with local codes and requirements. A locally licensed

electrical contractor is best qualified to perform this work. For additional information,

consult with the ADC Technical Assistance Center (see “Contacting ADC” on page 335).

Installing the Remote Unit

Page 126 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference

Use the following procedure to install the AC power wiring:

355 Locate the AC power cable that is provided separately with the Remote.

366 Route the power cable between the AC power port, located on the underside of

the Remote and the nearest AC power junction box as shown below. It may be

necessary to install a new junction box if an existing junction box is not available.

377 Secure the cable between the AC power port and the AC power junction box per

local practice. Leave sufficient slack in the cable to allow it to be easily connected

and disconnected from the AC power port.

388 Install any AC power supply wires that may be required between the AC junction

box and the AC circuit breaker box.

The power cable is rated for indoor or outdoor use and must not be placed within

electrical conduit as this will impede the cooling of the cable during usage. The cable

run distance to the AC power source must not exceed 100 feet.

It is recommended that an AC outlet be installed near the Remote for powering tools

and test equipment. This outlet must include a GFCI device for protection.

An appropriate disconnect device, as well as branch circuit protection, must be provided

as part of the installation.

FlexWave EMS Overview

FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 137

As shown in Figure 5-2, you access the embedded EMS through the Host, where RF

signals are converted to optical signals for distribution to the local coverage area. The

EMS is thus in a position to monitor both types of signals, and to report status,

alarms, and RF signal levels through automatic, periodic updates and in response to

user requests. User requests can include commands to set RF gain and propagation

delay.

EMS Alarm Indications

FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 141

5.5 EMS ALARM INDICATIONS

Some EMS parameter values are associated with alarms. When a parameter enters an

alarm state, an alarm status indicator is activated where the color of the indicates the

alarm severity (Figure 5-5):

•• Red status indicator—major alarm

•• Yellow status indicator—minor alarm

•• Green status indicator—normal (okay) state

•• White status indicator—a device or component is not communicating, but is in the

EMS database

•• Grey status indicator—alarm is masked.

Figure 5-5. Example of Alarm Indicators

For further information on EMS alarms, see “Managing Alarms” on page 257.

FlexWave Element Management System

Page 142 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference

5.6 EMS SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The computer that you use to remotely access the EMS must meet the following

minimum requirements:

•• Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system

•• Internet Explorer version 6.0. When a direct connection is made, an internet

connection is not needed, but the user interface still displays in a Web browser.

•• Network Interface Card (NIC)

•• Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors.

The EMS database can also be accessed remotely using an SNMP manager. In this case,

the user interface varies depending on the SNMP manager, but the underlying

parameters, parameter values, and alarms are the same as in the standard EMS

interface.

management traffic. By default

Ip Enable

Ip Enable

is left

unselected, the SFP cannot exchange management traffic. How you set

Ip Enable

dependent on the system configuration:

•• In a multifiber scenario, do not enable IP on both SFPs from the same Host to

the same Remote. Typically, the first SFP on the Host that goes to that Remote

is used as the IP enabled port for management communications.

•• In a Multi-Host system, multiple fibers connected to a Remote come from

different Hosts. However, a Remote can accept an IP connection from only one

Host and only one Host can “own” the Remote for the purposes of provisioning

and monitoring. When a second Host attempts to establish an IP connection,

this second connection fails and an IP Conflict alarm is triggered. You

therefore select

Ip Enable

only for the Host that manages the Remote so that

only one of the fibers connected to the Remote will have IP.

6.6 CONFIGURE THE HOST DARTS

Configuring a Host DART provides information required for the DART to operate in

RF transmission. Each DART is configured in hardware to operate within a specific RF

band such as PCS or Cellular; the passband is a software-defined sub-band of the

hardware-defined band. Forward and reverse path gain, diversity status, and

operating mode may also be set when a Host DART is configured. The same settings

are applied to the Remote DART when linked to the Host DART. The Host has eight

slots for DART cards.

ee In the

DART Forward Gain

loaded forward path signal level from the Base Station. The Host DART expects

signal levels from

-25

+5 dBm

. If the fully loaded signal is +5 dBm, then the

DART forward gain should be set to 0 dB, if the fully loaded signal is -25 dBm,

then the DART Forward Gain should be set to 30 dB. The equation is:

DART Forward Gain = 5 - fullyLoadedBasestationSignal.

ff Set the

DART Reverse Gain

value to achieve the required gain from the input to

the Remote to the output of the Host DART. The range is:

•

36 dB

for Cellular, SMR800, SMR900, Narrowband PCS & Narrowband

AWS DARTs

•

31 dB

for Fullband GSM1800, UMTS, Fullband AWS, and EGSM900

The diversity status of the Host DART will extend to the Remote DART connected to it.

For further information, see “Link the Host and Remote DARTs.” on page 159.

If you are setting up the system when no calls are going through, you must allow

headroom for a fully loaded forward path. For CDMA protocols, the difference from

unloaded to fully loaded is typically 8dB, so if the unloaded signal is - 15dBm, then the

fully loaded input would be - 7 dBm and the Host Forward Gain should be set to 5- (- 7)

= 12 dB.

The same rules applies for GSM carriers, except that the unloaded to loaded is

determined by the equation 10*log10(# RF Channels). So if there are 4 GSM RF Channels,

then the loaded forward path is 6 dB above unloaded.

If sufficient headroom is not present, then the LPA can be over- powered causing a Loss

Of Service.

When configured correctly, the Host DART Forward input can handle peaks of 14dB

above the BTS signal level. For example, if the fully loaded CDMA carrier is - 25dBm, then

peaks up to - 11 dBm can be handled (CDMA peak to average is typically 10- 12 dB). If

the peaks exceed the 14 dB of headroom, then Automatic Level Control (ALC) will occur

to prevent over- driving the A/D Converter.

Configure the Host DARTs

FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 155

When setting the

DART Reverse Gain

value, the following rules must be

observed:

nThe

DART Reverse Gain

setting can be used to overcome losses from the Host

DART to the BTS. If you want unity reverse path gain and the losses to the

BTS are 20 dB, then the Reverse Gain should be set to 20 dB.

nIf you want to match the URH noise floor to the BTS noise floor, then the

noise floors for both the URH and the BTS must be known. Use the

DART

Reverse Gain

to match these to optimize the reverse path. For example, if the

BTS has a noise floor of -114 dBm/30 kHz and the URH has a single Remote

noise floor of -124 dBm/30kHz, and there is 2 dB of loss from the Host

DART to the BTS, then the Reverse path gain should be set to 12 dB.

nSimulcast changes the actual REV gain level by 20log(n) where n = the

number of simulcast links. For example, if REV gain is set to 10dB in a 2:1

simulcast configuration, the actual REV gain is only 4dB (10dB - 6dB). If REV

gain is set to 20dB in a 4:1 simulcast, the actual gain is 8dB (20dB - 12dB).

The Noise Floor of the URH goes up of 10*log10(n), where n = simulcast #.

For example, the single node Remote noise floor is -124 dBm/30kHz

(Before any Reverse path gain), then the noise floor for two remotes is -121

dBm, for 4 remotes it is -118 dBm/30kHz and for 8 remotes it is -115 dBm.

nDual PCS uplink splitting causes a 3 dB degradation in the noise figure.

FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 159

6.9 LINK THE HOST AND REMOTE DARTS.

“Linking” establishes an association in software between a particular Host DART and

a particular Remote DART, enabling the two DARTs to act as an operational unit in

providing one RF band. There are four pre-requisites to this procedure:

•• The Host DART and Remote DART must be connected through the optical fiber

and be communicating with each other.

•• The Host DART card must be configured as described in “Configure the Host

DARTs” on page 152.

•• The Host and Remote DARTs must be of the same type (such as, Cellular or PCS).

•• There must be a sufficient number of fiber timeslots available in order to

accommodate the requested passband (for example, PCS A band requires 3

timeslots).

In the Remote DART configuration page, all Host DARTs are listed that have the same

band as the Remote DART. A link is established by selecting a Host DART to be paired

with the Remote DART.

6.9.1 Use of Multi Fibers

The EMS provides the ability to install “multi fibers” between a Host and Remote. This

means that, in addition to the minimum two fibers (RX and TX) in the Host to Remote

connection, one or more additional fiber pairs are installed. This is done to increase

the bandwidth between the Host and Remote. Each fiber pair can handle

approximately 75 Mbps of RF bandwidth.

Each fiber is capable of supporting 12 TDM timeslots:

•• Classic DARTs or Single SuperDARTs support up to 35 MHz of RF

– Cellular

–SMR800

–SMR900

– PCS Narrowband

–AWS Narrowband

–EGSM900

•• Dual SuperDARTs support up to 75 MHz of RF

– GSM1800

–UMTS

–AWS Fullband

If you are setting up a multi- host system, go to “(Optional) Configuring Multi-Host

Systems for Manual Mode” on page 168.

Initial Prism System Setup

Page 160 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference

When a Host DART is linked to a Remote DART in a multi-fibers configuration, the

EMS uses the first fiber (in numerical order) on which the required number of

timeslots is available for the passband being linked. The EMS will not divide up the

timeslots between two fibers. So, for example, if the passband requires eight

timeslots, and only six timeslots are available on the first fiber, the EMS will bypass

the first fiber and assign all eight timeslots to the second fiber, leaving four timeslots

unused on the second fiber.

If multi fibers are connected between the Host and Remote, the system will try the fibers

in numerical sequence until a link can be established for the identified passband. If no

fiber is available providing the number of TDM timeslots required for the passband, an

error message is returned indicating that “DART linking failed due to a problem on the

host.”

If adding a link to an existing simulcast connection, the system requires the use of the

same timeslots. If the timeslots aren't available, the system returns the following error

message: “DART linking failed due to a problem on the host.”

As soon as you set the LPA Operating Mode to normal, RF transmission will start. Before

you set the LPA Operating Mode to normal, make sure that the antenna has been

connected and the system is ready to transmit RF. For information on connecting the

antenna, see “Antenna Cable Installation” on page 123.

DART Forward Gain

list, select the dB (

), which is the actual gain, not

attenuation, that will be applied to the RF forward path signal (where

0 dB gain

1 dB gain

other loss (such as splitters) exist between the Remote and the antenna. Set the

DART Forward Gain

to achieve the required output power level to meet the EIRP of

your RF link budget.

The following table provides calculations you need to set the gains to achieve the

desired Output power for a single-DART configuration.

For dual-DART configurations, you need to reduce each path by 3dB at the Remote

DART Forward Gain

400 In the

DART Forward Delay

box, set in microseconds the actual delay that will be

applied to the RF forward path signal. The minimum delay required is calculated.

The acceptable range of delays is 88us. If you attempt to set the delay to a value

outside the allowed range, the DART uses either the minimum or maximum,

dependant on whether the DART is exceeding the set delay (too high or low).

Be aware of simulcast links. Observe the minimum delay required for the longest

link, and set the delay to the same value for all simulcast nodes in the same

connection based on this value.

Here is an example:

•• Fiber has 8 usec per mile of fiber.

•• Remote 1 has 5 miles of fiber (40 usec of fiber delay).

•• Remote 2 has 10 miles of fiber (80 usec of fiber delay).

•• Remotes are set to Cellular A"/A Band which has 8 usec of system delay. The

delay ranges will therefore be:

– Remote 1 delay (48-136)

– Remote 2 delay (88-176)

The system calculates these delay values—this is a typical example based on the fiber

lengths provided. You select a delay value that’s within the range calculated by the

system.

Set the delays to the same values for all nodes in the network in order to:

•• Optimize simulcast

•• Make BTS datafill changes simple (same delay offsets for all nodes)

•• Simplify E-911 integration (same delay offsets for all nodes)

Delays cannot be shortened; they can only be lengthened. The recommended

approach is to normalize all Remotes to the longer minimum delay. In this

example the delay would therefore have to be 88 usec.

411 In the

DART Reverse Delay

box, set in microseconds the actual delay that will be

applied to the RF reverse path signal. The actual delay of the RF path will be within

1 usec. For E-911 TDOA applications, the reverse path delay must be measured to

achieve the +/- 50 nsec delay accuracy specified for DAS networks. The FWD and

REV delay values are usually the same because the fiber path between the two is

typically the same.

it. You must explicitly configure the Remote DART to have the same diversity status as

the Host DART.

If you are setting up the system when no calls are going through, you must allow

headroom for a fully loaded forward path. For CDMA protocols, the difference from

unloaded to fully loaded is typically 8dB, so if the unloaded signal is - 15dBm, then the

fully loaded input would be - 7 dBm and the Host Forward Gain should be set to 5- (- 7)

= 12 dB.

The same rules applies for GSM carriers, except that the unloaded to loaded is

determined by the equation 10*log10(# RF Channels). So if there are 4 GSM RF Channels,

then the loaded forward path is 6 dB above unloaded.

If sufficient headroom is not present, then the LPA can be over- powered causing a Loss

Of Service.

When configured correctly, the Host DART Forward input can handle peaks of 14dB

above the BTS signal level. For example, if the fully loaded CDMA carrier is - 25dBm, then

peaks up to - 11 dBm can be handled (CDMA peak to average is typically 10- 12 dB). If

the peaks exceed the 14 dB of headroom, then Automatic Level Control (ALC) will occur

to prevent over- driving the A/D Converter.

+5 dBm

. If the fully loaded signal is +5 dBm, then the

DART forward gain should be set to 0 dB, if the fully loaded signal is -25 dBm,

then the DART Forward Gain should be set to 30 dB. The equation is:

DART Forward Gain = 5 - fullyLoadedBasestationSignal.

hh In the

DART Forward Delay

box, set in microseconds the actual delay that will be

applied to the RF forward path signal. The minimum delay required is

calculated. The acceptable range of delays is 88us. If you attempt to set the

delay to a value outside the allowed range, the DART uses either the minimum

or maximum, dependant on whether the DART is exceeding the set delay (too

high or low).

Be aware of simulcast links. Observe the minimum delay required for the

longest link, and set the delay to the same value for all simulcast nodes in the

same connection based on this value.

Here is an example:

•• Fiber has 8 usec per mile of fiber.

•• Remote 1 has 5 miles of fiber (40 usec of fiber delay).

•• Remote 2 has 10 miles of fiber (80 usec of fiber delay).

The diversity status, fiber, and timeslots of the Host DART must match the Remote

DART linked to it.

If you are setting up the system when no calls are going through, you must allow

headroom for a fully loaded forward path. For CDMA protocols, the difference from

unloaded to fully loaded is typically 8dB, so if the unloaded signal is - 15dBm, then the

fully loaded input would be - 7 dBm and the Host Forward Gain should be set to 5- (- 7)

= 12 dB.

The same rules applies for GSM carriers, except that the unloaded to loaded is

determined by the equation 10*log10(# RF Channels). So if there are 4 GSM RF Channels,

then the loaded forward path is 6 dB above unloaded.

If sufficient headroom is not present, then the LPA can be over- powered causing a Loss

Of Service.

When configured correctly, the Host DART Forward input can handle peaks of 14dB

above the BTS signal level. For example, if the fully loaded CDMA carrier is - 25dBm, then

peaks up to - 11 dBm can be handled (CDMA peak to average is typically 10- 12 dB). If

the peaks exceed the 14 dB of headroom, then Automatic Level Control (ALC) will occur

to prevent over- driving the A/D Converter.

(Optional) Configuring Multi-Host Systems for Manual Mode

FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 175

•• Remotes are set to Cellular A"/A Band which has 8 usec of system delay.

The delay ranges will therefore be:

– Remote 1 delay (48-136)

– Remote 2 delay (88-176)

The system calculates these delay values—this is a typical example based

on the fiber lengths provided. You select a delay value that’s within the

range calculated by the system.

Set the delays to the same values for all nodes in the network in order to:

•• Optimize simulcast

•• Make BTS datafill changes simple (same delay offsets for all nodes)

•• Simplify E-911 integration (same delay offsets for all nodes)

Delays cannot be shortened; they can only be lengthened. The

recommended approach is to normalize all Remotes to the longer

minimum delay. In this example the delay would therefore have to be 88

usec.

ii In the

DART Reverse Delay

box, set in microseconds the actual delay that will be

applied to the RF reverse path signal. The actual delay of the RF path will be

within 1 usec. For E-911 TDOA applications, the reverse path delay must be

measured to achieve the +/- 50 nsec delay accuracy specified for DAS

networks. The FWD and REV delay values are usually the same because the

fiber path between the two is typically the same.

Page 184 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference

7.4 WORKING WITH PRISM SYSTEM NETWORK

INTERFACES

You use the EMS to configure the Prism system for one of the two different modes

listed below, which affects how you configure the network interface of the Network

and Craft ports and how you access the system through the EMS. In each mode, the

Host and its subtended Remotes require the same configuration. Both modes require

a DHCP server, which assigns an IP address to the Host and its subtended Remotes.

•

External Network

mode—is the default mode. The Host and subtended Remotes are

DHCP clients and expect IP addresses to be assigned by an external DHCP server

through a network Ethernet connector. If there is no external DHCP server, the

Host will not be able to communicate with any connected Remotes.

The Host Craft port has a DHCP server that you can use to communicate with the

Host directly. The IP address for the Host Craft port is 192.168.0.1. You can access

the EMS via the Craft port, but if the Network port is not connected to an external

DHCP server, the Remotes will not be visible to you.

•

Built-in Network

mode—

Built-In Network

mode is best suited for when there is no

network to connect to or if the Prism network does not have a DHCP server. In

Built-In Network mode, the functionality of the Network port and the Craft port

are swapped. You connect a laptop to the Host Network port, which is assigned a

default fixed IP address of 10.0.0.1 and all subtended network interfaces obtain a

DHCP address in this same subnet. Alternatively, in Built-In Network mode you

can connect the Craft port to an external DHCP server from which the Craft port

obtains its IP address.

Table 7-1 describes how the system mode affects the IP address for the Host and

subtended Remotes.

Static Mode—You also have the option of giving the devices on your Prism system static

IP addresses. Contact ADC for further information (see “Contacting ADC” on page 335).

There are potential problems in switching between the External Network and Built- In

Network modes. If cabled incorrectly your DHCP server could provide private IP

addresses on a public network. Set the Prism system mode once and then do not change

it.

mode allows all Remotes to be assigned an IP address to allow

communication without the need for an external DHCP router. You therefore set the

Prism system to

Built-In Network

mode if there is no network to connect to or if the

network does not have a DHCP server. You would also change the Prism system to

Built-In Network

mode if you intend to transition to static IP addresses.

7.4.2 EMS Access Methods

The FlexWave EMS has four access methods that are listed below and as shown and

numbered in Figure 7-3.

11 A laptop subtended to the Craft port on the Host provides direct access to the

EMS. In this scenario the Host and the Remote can be configured and monitored

through the EMS. This is the default access scenario during initial configuration

and commissioning as described in “Access the EMS” on page 144.

22 A personal computer with a Web browser connected through the internet or

intranet to the Network port on the Host. This method provides a remote user

access to the EMS through a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network

(WAN). In this scenario the Host and subtended Remotes can be configured and

monitored through the EMS. After initial system setup, this is the default access

method.

33 A personal computer with a Web browser connected to the Network port on the

Remote provides a remote user a LAN connection to the Host network interface,

which provides access to the EMS. See “Accessing the EMS Through the Remote

Network Port” on page 189.

It can take a while for the system to update the interfaces (can be up to 30 minutes, but

typically is no more than 10 minutes). If the Remotes already have a DHCP IP address

from an external network and you change it to built- in (in a different subnet), it can take

30 minutes for the Remote to request an update from an external IP address to the

10.0.0.x IP address. During this transient period, there will not be communication with

the Remotes.

The Host will also take awhile to change from an external IP address to the 10.0.0.1 Ip

address, so a period of no communication with the Host can be expected as well.

EMS Access Methods 1 and 2 are true for the default External Network mode described

in this chapter. If your Prism system is set to Built- in Network mode, then the

definitions for EMS Access Methods 1 and 2 for the Host Network and Craft ports are

are switched.

Working with Prism System Network Interfaces

FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 189

44 A laptop subtended to the Remote Craft port provides access to the EMS. In this

scenario, Remote configuration interfaces can be viewed in Read-Only format. The

Host configuration interfaces are disabled and cannot be viewed. See “Accessing

the EMS Through the Remote Craft Port” on page 192.

Figure 7-3. Four Points of EMS Access

7.4.2.1 Accessing the EMS Through the Remote Network Port

The Remote provides a Network port allowing communications with the internal

processor and transfer of service data to the optical protocol allowing IP servicing

between the Host and Remote(s). This port is customer accessible for monitoring the

interface with the subtended Host and ENET subtended devices at the Remote. The

Network port is 10/100/1000 BASE-T MDI and requires a minimum of CAT 5 cable.

The network cable must be terminated with a hardened RJ-45 male connector for

connection to the Network port. The maximum cable length is 300 feet (91.4 m).

Use the following procedure to install the Network cable and then log in to the EMS.

Although the Network port on the Remote is a GigE port, the available bandwidth is only

100Mbps (part of this bandwidth is used for system management services).

You cannot dedicate a full 100Mbps of bandwidth for external ethernet services off the

Remote’s Network port. For example, if connecting a WiFi access point to the Remote’s

Network port, you need to reduce the available bandwidth to less than 100Mbps (such

as, 50Mbps).

7.4.2.2 Accessing the EMS Through the Remote Craft Port

You can use the Craft port on the SeRF Module to access the FlexWave EMS to view

system configuration and alarms. For example, if there is a problem communicating

with the Remote and you have determined that fiber is not the issue, connecting to

the Craft port helps you obtain beneficial troubleshooting information.

11 Verify that your PC network interface is configured for DHCP.

22 If you have a wireless network interface, disable it. Otherwise an IP conflict may

result if the wireless network resides in the same IP subnet as the Craft port.

33 Open the Prism door.

44 Remove the dust cap from the Craft port located on the SeRF Module.

When you access the EMS through the Remote Craft port, the EMS GUI shows only the

Remote in its Function Explorer Tree. You cannot configure any system components or

clear alarms.

Managing User Accounts

Page 196 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference

8.1 FLEXWAVE EMS USER ACCOUNTS

The EMS provides security, which can be broadly classified as:

•

User Authentication

, which defines the way a user is identified prior to being

allowed to log on to the EMS. User Authentication ensures that only known users

have access by providing a method of identifying each user through a user ID and

password.

•

User Authorization

, which involves managing the user’s privileges in the Prism

network management infrastructure. Authorization is based on the concept of

user access system configuration restrictions.

There are three user-access levels that can be assigned by the admin:

•• admin—the default user account that has unrestricted access to all EMS user

accounts and management capabilities. To protect against unauthorized access to

the Prism network, the user assigned the admin role should follow the process

described in “Changing Your Own Password” on page 208 to change the password

for the admin user account.

•• Network Manager—has read and write access to all system functions except user

account management.

•• Network User—has read only permissions into the system.

There are also two default user-access levels for the Remote that cannot be deleted

or changed:

•• Operator—has Read and Write access to only the Prism Remote functions, all

other operations are Read Only. (This user is not available on URH Remotes.)

•• Viewer—has Read Only rights for Prism and URH Remotes.

FlexWave EMS prevents a login in which the user enters an invalid User ID or

password.
