Page xii FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference© 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/2009GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONSWet 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. This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser 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. A protective 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 adapter or connector.This system is an RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain 3 foot (91.4 cm) minimum clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Wherever possible, shut down the RAN before servicing the antenna.Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing of patch cords and pigtails without severe bends. Fiber optic patch cords or pigtails may be permanently damaged if bent or curved to a radius of less than 2 inches (5.1 cm). Exterior surfaces of the Remote may be hot. Use caution during servicing.

To accomplish this:•• One Host is designated as the IP Manager for a set of Remotes; this Host can serve as IP manager for multiple Remotes. As the IP Manager, the managing Host controls the exchange of management data with the Remote(s).•• There is no Host to Host connectivity.•• A Prism Remote can receive bands over multiple fibers that originate on different Hosts. However, only one Host, the IP Manager, can manage the Remote. If a Host attempts to manage a Remote already under the management of an IP Manager, the second Host causes an IP Conflict fault (see “Viewing Host SeRF Optical Ports” on page 224).•• All the Hosts in a Multi-Host network can be configured to serve as clock master. Each Host will be configured with a priority level in the range of 0-15. The Host with the priority level of 1 distributes the clock in the network. If the Host designated as clock master fails or shuts down, the Host with the next highest priority level takes over. (For information on setting the master clock, see “Set the Clock Priority Level” on page 150.)•• The FlexWave EMS provides a Linking Mode parameter that can be set to AutomatedorManual for each Host. The Linking Mode is applicable for all Remotes connected to the IP Manager. A Multi-Host system requires that the Linking Mode be set to Manual (see “(Optional) Configuring Multi-Host Systems for Manual Mode” on page 168.•• The Host that manages the Remote must be able to provision one or more passbands on that Remote for which the Host does not have a DART card. Remote DARTs are linked back to one or more Hosts in a Multi-Host system.

E911 support may be achieved by using a configuration similar to the one shown in Figure 1-8. Remote simulcasting in this configuration requires analog splitting and combining to and from the individual Host DARTs. External analog splitting/combining ensures that the E911 system receives uplink signals from each Remote location before they are combined with uplink signals from the other Remotes in the simulcast.Figure 1-8. 8:1 Analog Simulcast U-TDoA E911 Support Diagram2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter8:18:1DART BOARD (1)DART BOARD (2)DART BOARD (3)DART BOARD (4)DART BOARD (5)DART BOARD (6)DART BOARD (7)DART BOARD (8)SeRF BOARD SYSTEM BOARD POWER BOARD FAN CARD 2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 Splitter2:1 SplitterE911E911E911E911E911E911E911E911BACKPLANEBOARDBTS REVBTS FWD77073-031
Fiber Optic TransportFlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 17ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/2009 © 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc.1.6 FIBER OPTIC TRANSPORTIn a typical Prism system the Host is connected to the Remote using two single-mode optical fibers. One fiber is used to transport the forward pathh optical signal and a second fiber is used to transport the reverse pathh optical signal. With the diversity option, the diversity reverse pathh optical signal is sent on the same rev erse pathfiber. (However, the diversity signal can also be transmitted on a separate fiber pair if more than 12 timeslots are required at a single Remote.) Because the optical signal is digital, the input and output RF signal levels at the Host or the Remote are not dependent on the level of the optical signal or the length of the optical fiber. A diagram of the standard fiber optic transport system for both a non-diversity and diversity system is shown in Figure 1-9.The maximum length of the optical links is dependent on the loss specifications of the optical fiber and the losses imposed by the various connectors and splices. The system provides an optical budget of 25 dBB (typical) when used with 9/125 single-mode fiber. There must be at least 10 dB of optical loss to prevent over-driving and possible damage to the optical receiver.Figure 1-9. Standard Fiber Optic Transport ApplicationThe SeRF (Serialized RF) digital protocol consists of digitized RF, Fast Ethernet, and Host to Remote communication and management. The protocol provides you with full access to the 100BASE-T (Ethernet) connection between the Host and each Remote, and the ability to provision the RF spectrum of the DARTs. The digitized RF portion of the SeRF protocol is divided into 12 timeslots, with each timeslot representing roughly 5 MHz of digitized RF spectrum. Utilizing the full 12 timeslots yields between 60 and 75 MHz of total digitized RF on each SeRF Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) laser connection.77073-008RemoteUnitForward PathReverse PathNon-Diversity Fiber Optic LinkForward PathDiversity Fiber Optic LinkReverse PathAndDiversity Reverse PathHostUnitRemoteUnitUp ToEight

Table 1-2 shows the maximum bandwidth versus the number of timeslots.If more than 70 MHz is required per Remote, up to three additional fiber pairs can be brought to the Remote to get up to up to 280MHz per Remote (or 300MHz if all four are GSM-1800). This supports applications where there are two Classic DARTs or Single SuperDARTs or one Dual SuperDART in a Remote RF Module.The SeRF (Serialized RF) digital protocol consists of digitized RF, 100BASE-T Ethernet, and Host to Remote communication and management. The protocol provides you with full access to the 100BASE-T Ethernet connection between the Host and each Remote, and the ability to provision the RF spectrum of the DARTs. The digitized RF portion of the SeRF protocol is divided into 12 timeslots, with each timeslot representing roughly 5 MHz of digitized RF spectrum. Utilizing the full 12 timeslots yields between 60 and 80 MHz of total digitized RF on each SeRF SFP laser connection.
FlexWave Prism SystemPage 20 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference© 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/20091.8 BANDWIDTHSIn the FlexWave Prism system, there are different Bandwidths from which to select, ranging from 5 to 75 MHz. The different bandwidths allow you to configure the system to use any contiguous or non-contiguous blocks within the 35 MHz of a single Host 6-timeslot DART or 60-75 MHz using a 12-timeslot DART. DART bandwidth options are shown in Table 1-3.For DART cards, if you need to use non-contiguous blocks within a given 35 MHz, then the selected bandwidth must span both of these blocks, even if the blocks in between are not used. For example, if you want to use both PCS DD and EE blocks, select PCS D+B+E, which spans 25 MHz. This allows both PCS DD & EE to be transported and the BB block is effectively unused.PCS D and E are only 10 MHz of spectrum, four timeslots are required since the actual transported spectrum is 25 MHz for the PCS D, B, E block, as shown in Table 1-3.Table 1-3.

In the reverse direction, the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is split providing the full PCS or AWS spectrum to each DART. Each DART is responsible for transporting its own spectrum, as shown in an the following example for a PCS configuration.Prism Host Prism RemotePCSDARTPCSDARTTXRXTXRXPCSDARTPCSDARTLPAPCSDuplexorDuplexer/LNA+SeRF SeRF77073-028
AWS and PCS Band OptionsFlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 25ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/2009 © 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc.PCS Configuration Example:If the application requires both the A and C block, in the Remote the forward path of the PCS A band is combined with the forward path of the PCS C band and these signals are sent to the LPA to be amplified. In the reverse direction, the Duplexer/LNA passes/amplifies the entire PCS band. The first DART digitizes the PCS A block reverse path and the second DART digitizes the PCS C block reverse path and then sends them back to the Host to be reconstructed back into RF.The installer needs to provide the separate connections at the Host location either by splitting already combined signals to/from each DART, or by providing them independently.If the two PCS reverse path blocks are combined at the Host location, then they must be separated by at least 5 MHz to insure that the reverse paths do not interfere with each other during the re- combining.

Prism System ComponentsPage 28 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference© 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/20092.1 FLEXWAVE PRISM FAMILY OVERVIEWThe ADC FlexWave Prism family of products is a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) that provides ADC’s patented technology—bidirectional transport of digitized RF spectrum over fiber. The high-speed digitalization of a wideband portion of spectrum allows for transport of RF signals over extended distances, without the RF degradation that normally results when analog systems are impacted by optical effects. The basic function of the FlexWave Prism platform is to transport via fiber optic cable RF signals from a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) to an antenna interface allowing communication to a mobile device. Multiple BTS communication paths are allowed over a single Prism system. Each link consists of a Host that provides the interface between the base station RF ports and the optical fiber, and at least one Remote that provides the interface between the optical fiber and the remote antenna. A block diagram of the system is shown in Figure 2-1.Figure 2-1.

Each Host may be interfaced with one or more Base Transceiver Station (BTS). Each BTS provides the RF channel inputs and outputs for a designated sector.The Host is designed as a compact package that reduces rack space required within a BTS Hotel. The Host is a three rack-unit high single-unit assembly that mounts in a standard 19- or 23-inch equipment rack. Its front access interfaces with the BTS for transport to subtended Remotes, and performs the analog to digital and electrical to optical conversions for transport to a Host and subtended Remotes. Each Host can support up to eight Remotes. The Remote is a modular self-contained outdoor enclosure that houses various electronic components.2.2.1 Host Front Panel.The Host is designed for use within a non-condensing indoor environment such as inside a wiring closet or controlled environment cabinet. All controls, connectors, and indicators (except the grounding point) are mounted on the Host front panel and allows vertical cable guides to be installed over the mounting brackets on either side. The Host user interface on its front panel comprises the connectors, switches, terminals, and LEDs that are described in Figure 2-3 and Table 2-1.The Host can be mounted in either a 19- inch or 23- inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. Unless noted otherwise, views of the Host in this document show the mounting brackets in the 23- inch position. The default is the 19- inch position.

The Remote includes an internal Duplexer which allows a single antenna cable to carry both forward and reverse path RF signals between the antenna and the Remote. The RX1 diversity antenna cable connections are through 50-ohm N-type female connectors.2.3.2.9 Remote GroundingA double-ground stud and ring lug is supplied with the unit. A #6 copper wire terminated with the provided ring terminal must be provided to link the Remote to an earth ground source.2.3.2.10 Remote CoolingThe electronic compartment of the Prism is sealed to the environment. Prism conducts its heat to a rear heat sink and the front doors. Two external environmentally hardened fans are controlled and monitored by the system. When turned on, these fans pull air over the external surfaces of the enclosure to ensure the electronics run within their rated temperature. The fans run at three different speeds depending on the internal temperature of the system. An alarm is generated if a high temperature condition occurs within the enclosure.The maximum ambient operating temp is 50°C (122°F).The pigtail is a reduced bending radius type fiber. Therefore not all fusion splicers will work to splice it. Do not use a splicer that uses light to align the cores. 30M, 40M, 60M, 80M, 100M and 150M fiber connector cable assemblies are also available from ADC.For proper and safe equipment operation, an approved earth ground connection must be provided. The recommended minimum wire size is #6 AWG copper wire.
Prism System ComponentsPage 50 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference© 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/20092.4 PRISM SYSTEM ACCESSORIESThis section provides a brief description of various accessory items that are available separately. The accessory items may or may not be required depending on the application. 2.4.1 Lightning Surge Suppressor (Remote Accessory)An externally-mounted lightning surge suppressor is available separately as an accessory for the Remote. To reduce the chance of damage to electronic components should a lightning strike occur, install a lightning surge suppressor at each antenna port that connects to an outdoor antenna. The surge/antenna connector on the lightning suppressor is an N-type female connector. The Prism Remote Unit must be properly grounded for the lighting surge suppressor to function properly. 2.4.2 Uninterruptible Power Supply (Accessory)Any power interruption without an external Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system will potentially result in an RF power outage. If a UPS is required it should be designed into the site plan during the engineering process.2.4.3 Wavelength Division Multiplexer System (Accessory)In some applications, it may be desirable or necessary to combine the forward path and reverse path optical signals from a single Host/Remote pair onto a single optical fiber. This can be accomplished by using a passive bi-directional Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) system. The optical wavelengths used in the Prism system are 1550 nm for the forward path and 1310 nm for the reverse path. Because different wavelengths are used for the forward and reverse paths, both signals can be combined on a single optical fiber. A WDM application is shown in Figure 2-15.Figure 2-15.

Follow the steps in the order in which they are provided.3.3.1 Unpacking and InspectionThis section provides instructions for opening the shipping boxes, verifying that all parts have been received, and verifying that no shipping damage has occurred. 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. 3.3.2 Install Host in Equipment RackA pair of reversible mounting brackets is provided that allow the Host to be mounted in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. When installed, the Host front panel is flush with the front of the rack.Both US standard and metric machine screws are included for rack mounting the Host. When loading the Host in a rack, make sure the mechanical loading of the rack is even to avoid a hazardous condition such as an unbalanced rack. The rack should safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it holds.The maximum ambient temperature for the Host is 55º C (131º F).The Host to be mounted in either a 19- inch or 23- inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. Unless noted otherwise, views of the Host show the mounting brackets in the 23- inch position.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. To insure that all optical connectors remain dust- free during installation, leave all dust caps and dust protectors in place until directed to remove them for connection.

Installing the Host UnitPage 70 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference© 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/20093.3.5 Coaxial Cable ConnectionsThe RF interface between the Host DART card and the EBTS/BTS is supported through two type QMA female connectors mounted on each DART front panel. One connector provides the coaxial cable connection for the forward path (downlink) signal and the other connector provides the coaxial cable connection for the reverse path (uplink) signal.In most installations, it is usually necessary to insert an external attenuator into the forward path link between the Host and the BTS. Before completing the forward path connection at the BTS, verify that the composite forward path RF signal level at the Host is between –25 and +5 dBm.The Host should be mounted as close as possible to the EBTS/BTS to minimize cable losses. Use the following procedure to route and connect the forward and reverse path coaxial cables to the Host DART cards:177 Obtain the required lengths of high performance, flexible, low loss 50-ohm coaxial communications cable (RG-400 or equivalent) for all coaxial connections. 188 Route the forward and reverse path coaxial cables between the Host and the BTS interface (per system design plan) and cut to the required length. Allow sufficient slack for dressing and organizing cables at the Host and for installing an external attenuator in the forward path link. 199 Terminate each cable with a QMA-Type male connector following the connector supplier’s recommendations. 200 If required, install an external attenuator in the forward path. 211 Connect the forward and reverse path cables as shown in the following graphic.aa Connect the forward path cable to the FWD RF IN connector on the Host DART front panel.bb Connect the reverse path cable to the REV RF OUT connector on the Host DART front panel. The composite forward path RF signal level at the Host must be between –25 and + 5 dBm. Do not connect the forward path cable until the composite forward path RF signal level is measured and the amount of external attenuation required is determined.

Installing the Host UnitPage 72 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference© 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/20093.3.6 Optical ConnectionsOptical connections between the Host SeRF card and the Remote are supported through Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. The optical interfaces are standard single-mode duplex LC (flat polished UPC). One SFP comes with the Host—additional SFPs (up to 7) must be ordered separately as needed.There are two fiber connections—one FWD and one REV—for each SFP. As the SeRF holds up to eight SFPs, there is a total of 16 connections: eight FWD and eight REV. The FWD path is 1550nm (from the Host to the Remote) and the REV path is 1310nm (from the Remote to the Host).Each FWD port provides an optical connection for the forward path (downlink) signal. Each REV port provide an optical connection for the reverse path (uplink) signal. Each REV port can also provide the optical connection for the diversity reverse path (uplink) signal.The optical connections are dependent on whether or not a WDM Host module (accessory) is installed:•• If the installation does not include a WDM module, proceed to Section 2.9.2 for the optical connections procedure.•• If the installation includes a WDM module, proceed to Section 2.10 for the optical connections procedure. This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser 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. A protective 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.
