This document provides basic description, application, and configuration
information about the ADC® FlexWave™ Prism system. The information in this
document guides you through:
•• designing a Prism system
•• installing Prism Host and Remote Units
•• configuring the Prism system through the FlexWave Web-Based Element
Management System (EMS) Version 5.1. The EMS is an embedded software
application that runs on the Host and that may be accessed via an internet
connection using a Web browser. This document shows how to connect to the EMS
software using a SNMP manager to interact with the SNMP database that is used
to store system parameters. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an
international standard for remote management of online devices.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
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.

1.2 BASIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS
A very basic Prism system consists of a Host Unit (Host) and a Remote Unit (Remote):
•• The Host is a three rack unit high chassis with multiple cards that mounts in a
standard equipment rack.
•• The Remote consists of multiple electronic and optical modules mounted in an
outdoor enclosure.
On an optional basis, the Prism system supports reverse path diversity. In addition,
various accessory items including a passive Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM)
system, Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer (CWDM) system, and expansion
panels are available as accessories.
Control and monitoring functions are provided by the FlexWave Element
Management System (EMS).
Some examples of FlexWave Prism Systems are shown in Figure 1-1,Figure 1-2,
Figure 1-3.

1.3 MULTI-HOST SYSTEMS
ADC’s FlexWave Prism provides a Multi-Host feature that allows a Prism Remote to be
shared by multiple Host Units. 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
Automated
or
Manual
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.

1.4 DART CARDS
Digital/Analog Radio Transceiver (DART) cards provide the interface between base
station equipment and the SeRF. There are three types of FlexWave DART cards:
•• Classic
•• Single SuperDART
•• Dual SuperDART.
FlexWave DARTS are band specific assemblies available in the versions listed in
Table 1-1.
DART cards:
•• amplify, down-convert, filter and digitize the incoming RF signal from the BTS
•• convert incoming digital signal from the Remote to analog, filter, amplify and
up-convert the frequency from Intermediate Frequency (IF) to RF
•• provide a bi-directional interface between parallel digital RF (to D/A and from
A/D) and Serial RF (SeRF) to/from SeRF board
•• perform adjustable delay processing.

1.4.2 DARTs and Remote Units
The Remote DARTs are encased in its RF Module. Each RF Module will have up to two
Classic DARTs or Single SuperDARTs, or one Dual SuperDART, and there can be up to:
•• one RF Module in a Single-Band chassis
•• two RF Modules in a Dual-Band chassis
•• three RF Modules in a Tri-Band chassis
•• four RF Modules in a Quad-Band chassis.
The Remote DART Interface cards (RDI) and the Remote SeRF interface board (RSI)
provide Remote SeRF and DART connectivity for the Prism high speed digital
connections. The configuration of the DART cards provide the RF spectrum.
Prism Remote RF Modules are not field serviceable. To replace a DART within a Prism
Remote, you must replace the RF Module.

1.5 E911 SUPPORT
The DART type determines the maximum number of links, where there can be up to
8 DARTs for a 35MHz spectrum and up to 4 DARTs for a <75MHz spectrum.
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.

1.6 FIBER OPTIC TRANSPORT
In 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 path
fiber. (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 Application
The 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.

The available RF bandwidth per timeslot is shown in Table 1-2.
For example, a user who wishes to transport PCS A block, Cellular A, and AWS B block,
the system would require the following:
PCS A 15MHz, 3 timeslots
Cellular A 10MHz, 2 timeslots
AWS B 10MHz, 2 timeslots
Total = 35MHz, 7 timeslots

1.7 TIMESLOTS VERSUS BANDWIDTH
Each fiber pair supports 12 timeslots, or up to 75 MHz of bandwidth. 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.

1.8 BANDWIDTHS
In 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.

1.9 AWS AND PCS BAND OPTIONS
The Dual-AWS and Dual-PCS DARTs allow you to span non-contiguous bands:
•• the Dual-AWS DART comprises two 6-Timeslot AWS DARTs that span the full 45
MHz of the AWS band
•• the Dual-PCS DART provides two PCS blocks over the entire 70 MHz PCS
spectrum.
In the forward path, the two Remote DARTs are summed together before being sent
to the Linear Power Amplifier (LPA). 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.

ADCP-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.

2.1 FLEXWAVE PRISM FAMILY OVERVIEW
The 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.

2.2 FLEXWAVE PRISM HOST UNITS
The Host is designed for maximum RF flexibility to address Carriers’ changing and
evolving spectrum needs, making the most use of cost efficient resources for serving
multiple remotes such as simulcast architecture and sharing of common functions
such as power, control and management over multiple Hosts. 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.

2.2.2 Host Network Connection
The SeRF front panel has a Network port that creates a network connection between
the Host and the network to monitor and configure the FlexWave Prism system
through the FlexWave EMS.
The network interface connection between the Host and the network is supported by
a Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) RJ-45 jack with integrated green ACTIVITY and
LINK LEDs. The Network port supports a maximum cable length of 100 meters (328
feet) to a switch or back-to-back nodes. CAT5 or better cable should be used when
making this connection. The Ethernet connection should not be connected to an
Ethernet circuit used outside the building.
For further information on using the Network port and the FlexWave EMS, see
“System Setup and Management.”
2.2.3 Host RF Signal Connections
The RF signal connections between the Host DART cards and the BTS are supported
through two (FWD RF IN and REV RF OUT) QMA-Type female connectors. One
connector is used for the forward path RF signal. The other connector is used for the
reverse path RF signal. In some installations, it may be necessary to install a
Conditioning Panel and/or Duplexing Panel (accessory items) to support the interface
between the Host and the BTS. The Host should be as close as possible to the BTS to
minimize cable losses.

2.2.4 Host System Card
The System Card contains the fan controller, the clocking circuitry (internal or
external), the temperature sensor and the DCC contacts. Its front panel provides
connections for alarm outputs, 10 MHz output, and status LEDs. This card may be
used to provide a 10 MHz clock reference to which the SeRF's Master clock is
frequency locked from the internal crystal oscillator. When the internal clock is not
used the clock can be obtained from an external 10 MHz input.

2.3 PRISM REMOTE UNITS
The Remote, shown in Figure 2-4, controls RF emissions, interfaces with the FlexWave
Host and performs the optical to electrical conversions for transport to the antennas.
The Remote is an environmentally-sealed unit that houses the electronic assemblies
such as the DART board and the Power Amplifier, and seals out dirt and moisture.
The Prism uses fans located on the top of each unit to cool the chassis. The antenna
cable connectors, fiber connectors, AC power connector, and the unit status indicator
are located on the bottom of the unit.

The FlexWave Remote supports or provides the following basic functions:
•• Receives on the forward path the digitized spectrum from the Host and converts
the spectrum back into an RF signal to be distributed via an externally mounted
antenna system. On the reverse path, the Remote digitizes the designated RF
spectrum and digitally transports it over single mode fiber or Millimeter Wave
(MMW) to the Host.
•• Provides RF interface (antenna port) for the antennas.
•• Accepts AC power input.
2.3.1 Handset Interface
The Remote interfaces with the handsets (cell phones) through an antenna. In the
reverse path, the Remote receives RF signals from each handset (see Figure 1-3 on
page 9). The Remote digitizes the RF signals and then converts them to digital optical
signals for transport to the Host over the optical fiber link. In the forward path, the
Remote receives digital optical signals from the Host. The Remote converts the
optical signals to RF signals for transmission to the handsets.
2.3.2 Remote Components
Prism Remotes are shipped ready to accept easy to install RF Modules. The following
sections describe the Remote components listed below and shown in Figure 2-5.

2.3.2.3 Remote Power Supply and Cable Assembly
The Remote is powered by 100 to 240 VAC (nominal 120 or 240 VAC), 50 to 60 Hz
power. The AC power is supplied through a 15-foot (4.6m) three-wire power cable
that is provided with the unit. The power cable connects to a 3-pin AC power
connector mounted on the bottom of the Remote.
The stub end of the power cable must be routed to an external junction box (not
provided) for connection to the AC power source. A circuit breaker rated at 20 Amps
(120 VAC) should be used to provide over-current protection for the Prism power
circuit. It is also recommended that an external AC outlet (not provided) be installed
near the Remote to power test equipment and tools.
The Remote model determines the number of power supplies.
•• The Single-Band Remote is powered by one power supply.
•• The Dual-Band Remote is powered by two power supplies.
•• The Tri- and Quad-Band Remotes are powered by three power supplies.
There are up to four switches that independently control DC power for each RF
Module. These switches are labeled MOD A, MOD B, MOD C, and MOD D and
correspond to the RF Module shelves, from bottom to top, that are labeled the same.

2.3.2.7 Remote Fiber Connector Cable Assembly
A fiber connector cable assembly is provided with 10 meters of environmentally
hardened cable and 1 meter of exposed, un-terminated single-mode 900μm optical
fiber sufficient for splicing in an OSP splice tray.
2.3.2.8 Remote Antenna Cable Connections
The TX0/RX0 antenna cable connections are through 50-ohm N-type female
connectors. 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 Grounding
A 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 Cooling
The 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.

2.4 PRISM SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
This 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.

The Host is connected to a CWDM chassis that contains the CWDM Mux/DeMux Units
that multiplex the wavelengths from the transceivers onto a single fiber in the
Forward path and de-multiplexes the wavelengths from the Remotes into their
respective wavelengths. The Remote within a CWDM system requires an internal
Prism CWDM Fiber Cable Assembly. Figure 2-18 on Page 52 shows the CWDM
Mux/DeMux unit and Figure 2-19 shows the CWDM Fiber Cable Assembly. For further
information on the Prism CWDM system, see the ADC FlexWave™ Prism Coarse

2.4.5 Millimeter Wave Systems (Accessory)
A Millimeter Wave (MMW) system with a data rate of not less than 3 Gbps (that meets
the FlexWave Prism data rate performance and BER requirements) may be used in
applications where it is desirable or necessary to bridge an open span and where it is
impractical to lay a fiber optic cable. One MMW transceiver unit may be mounted on
the Host side of the open span and the other MMW transceiver unit may be mounted
on the Remote side of the open span. A system diagram of an MMW application is
shown in Figure 2-22. MMW systems are available from various equipment
manufacturers.
Figure 2-22. FlexWave Millimeter Wave Application
A mmw link (3GBps) is required for 12 timeslots worth of RF traffic between the Host
and the Remote. This is roughly 60 - 75MHz depending on the modulation. If a
Remote has more bandwidth requirements (such as 210MHz of RF), there would need
to be 3 point-to-point mmw links.

3.3 INSTALL THE HOST
This chapter guides you through installing a Prism Host, which requires 70 steps that
are divided into 11 sections. Follow the steps in the order in which they are provided.
3.3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
This 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 Rack
A 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.
Install the Host
FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 67
ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/2009 © 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
Use the following procedure to install the Host in the equipment rack:
55 The Host is shipped with the mounting brackets installed for 19-inch rack
installations. If mounting the Host in a 19-inch rack, proceed to Step 6. If
mounting the Host in a 23-inch rack, proceed to Step 8.
66 Remove both mounting brackets from the Host (requires TORX screwdriver with
T20 bit) and save screws (six-screws on each side) for reuse.
77 Reinstall both mounting brackets so the long side of the bracket is flush with the
Host front panel as shown below. Use the screws removed in Step 6 to re-attach
the brackets to the Host chassis.
88 Position the Host in the designated mounting space in the rack (per system design
plan) and then secure (but do not tighten) the Host to the rack using the four
machine screws provided (use #12-24 or M6 x 10 screws, whichever is
appropriate).
99 Locate two vertical cable guides, not provided with the Host.
100 Back out the Host mounting screws just enough to provide clearance for
installation of the cable guides.
111 Slide each cable guide into position for installation and then securely tighten the
corresponding mounting screws.

3.3.3 OSP Fiber Cable Installation Guidelines
The outside plant (OSP) fiber optic cables should be routed between the Host
distribution panel and Remote outside plant cabinet and terminated before the
equipment is installed. A diagram of a typical OSP cable routing is shown in
Figure 3-1. At the Host, the OSP cable should be terminated at a fiber distribution
panel and spliced to fiber patch cords. Jumper patch cords may then be used to link
the Host optical ports to the OSP cable terminations. Whenever possible, a guideway
such as the FiberGuide system should be provided to protect the fiber optic patch
cords from damage and to prevent excessive bending. The procedures for connecting
the OSP cable optical fibers to the Host is provided in “Optical Connections Without
WDM System” on page 74. and “Optical Connections For Systems With a WDM” on
page 76.

3.3.5 Coaxial Cable Connections
The 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.

3.3.6 Optical Connections
Optical 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.
Install the Host

3.3.7 LC Attenuator
To meet 3Gbps optical transmission requirements, the long reach transceivers (SFPs)
must be used. SFPs have the following specifications:
•• Launch: 0dBm
•• Normal Operation: -9dBm maximum to -27dBm minimum
•• Overdrive: >-9dBm
•• Underdrive: <-27dBm
•• RX No Light condition: <-34dBm
The receiver’s specification is -9 to -27dBm. Based on typical fiber runs, there's
usually only a few dB of loss, so the 15dB LC attenuator (Figure 3-2) ships with each
Host to put the receive level in the optimum receive range.
Figure 3-2. LC Attenuator
There is an option of ordering the WDM with a fiber pigtail. The document for the WDM
option describes using the LC attenuator option and requires an additional fiber patch
cord.

3.3.7.1 Optical Connections Without WDM System
Use the following procedure to connect the optical fibers when a WDM is not
installed.
255 Obtain two patch cords that are of sufficient length to reach from the Host to the
fiber distribution panel.
266 Designate one of the patch cords as the forward path link and the other as the
reverse path link and attach an identification label or tag next to the connector.
277 Remove the dust caps from the Host SeRF SFP optical ports and from the patch
cord connectors that will be connected to the SeRF SFP optical ports.
288 Clean each patch cord connector following the patch cord supplier’s
recommendations.
299 Connect the LC attenuator to the patch cord.
300 Plug the FWD and REV path patch cords to the corresponding transmit (FWD) and
receive (REV) connections depending on the remote node SFP position.
Improper handling can damage fiber optic cables. Do not bend fiber optic cable more
sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius specified by the cable
manufacturer. Do not apply more pulling force to the cable than specified.
Install the Host
FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 75
ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/2009 © 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
311 Route the patch cords from the Host to the fiber distribution panel.
322 At the fiber distribution panel, identify the OSP cable optical fiber terminations
that correspond to the forward and reverse paths.
333 Remove the dust caps from the OSP cable optical fiber adapters and from the
patch cord connectors.
344 Clean each patch cord connector (follow patch cord supplier’s recommendations)
and then mate the connector with the appropriate OSP cable adapter.
355 Repeat this procedure for the remaining SeRF SFPs in the Host.
366 Store any excess patch cord slack at the fiber distribution panel or storage panel.
The Host optical adapters are angled to the left. Therefore, always route patch cords to
the Host from the left side of the rack. Routing patch cords to the Host from the right
may exceed the bend radius limitations for the optical fiber.

3.3.8 EXT REF Connections
EXT REF connections between multiple Hosts is supported through two QMA type
female connectors mounted on the System card. One of the jacks is designated as the
IN port and the other jack is designated as the OUT port. The EXT REF interface allows
Hosts to be connected together (in daisy-chain fashion) and clocked through a single
source.
Use the following procedure to connect EXT REF interface cables between multiple
Hosts:
488 Connect one end of the EXT REF interface cable (accessory) to the EXT REF OUT
port on Host #1.
When using the 10 MHz external reference clock the signal must be connected to the
Host before enabling the clock source in the software. If there isn’t a working external
clock source when you configure external timing, the optical sync at the Remote will be
lost and all traffic will stop flowing.

power consumption for your system.
* Add 1W for each SFP added
For example, the power consumption of a fully-loaded Host, with four Dual
SuperDARTs, a SeRF card (that comprises eight SFPs), and a System card would be:
•• Nominal—131W
•• Maximum—148.4W
•• 15% Headroom—171W
Use the following procedure to install the power wiring:
600 Obtain the items listed below:
•• Wire stripper and screwdriver
•• Wire, #18 AWG (1.00 mm) red and black insulated copper wire. Recommended
wire size for the power leads, when fused in the same bay.
611 Turn power switch on power supply OFF.
622 Connect the wires to the designated terminals on the fuse panel.
633 Dress and secure the wires to the rack following local practice. Route wiring away
from sharp edges and secure in place to prevent chaffing and provide strain relief.
644 Route the wires to the terminal block on the Host Power Supply and cut them to
length, allowing sufficient length for termination.

All DC input wiring should be routed away from any sharp edges and properly secured
in place to prevent chafing and to provide strain relief. This may be achieved by
tie- wrapping wires to the rack frame or by a similar means.

3.4 INSTALLING THE WDM HOST MODULE MOUNTING
SHELF AND WDM HOST MODULE
A bi-directional wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) system is available as an
accessory item for the Prism system.
If the Prism configuration does not require the use of a WDM system, skip this
section and proceed to “Install Host in Equipment Rack” on page 66.
3.4.1 Wavelength Division Multiplexer System Overview
The Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) system is an accessory product that is
used when it is desirable or necessary to combine the forward and reverse path
optical signals from one Prism system onto a single optical fiber. Each WDM system
consists of a Host and a Remote. At the Host there is a WDM chassis that contains the
WDM modules, and there is a WDM cable assembly within the Remote. Both the Host
WDM module and the Remote WDM cable assembly consist of a bi-directional
wavelength division multiplexer, as shown in Figure 3-4. Note that the WDM enables
up to three Prism RF bands to operate on a single OSP fiber.

The Host WDM module is mounted within a powder-paint coated sheet metal
enclosure. A straight LC-type optical connector port is provided for connecting the
forward/reverse path optical fiber to the WDM module. A pair of fiber patch cord
leads with LC-type connectors are provided for connecting the WDM module to the
forward and reverse path optical ports on the Host SeRF card. The WDM Host module
mounting shelf and Host module are shown in Figure 3-5.

Figure 3-6 provides WDM port information.
Figure 3-6. WDM Ports
The WDM Test port (Port 3 shown in Figure 3-6) is a monitor or trap port. When taking
a reading at this port, the signal power is 23 dB less than the input power going into
Port 1. The wavelength of light measured is 1550 nm.

Each WDM module supports a single Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) port on the
Host, but a WDM chassis can support up to 8 WDM modules, which allows it to be
shared among multiple Hosts depending on the SFP port counts and system
configuration. That is, the 8 modules allows a fully loaded Host with 8 SFP modules
or multiple partially-loaded Hosts (for a maximum of 8 total SFPs). The WDM Host
module mounting shelf installs in the equipment rack with the Host. Figure 3-7 shows
a one Host WDM system.

When multiple Hosts require connection to a WDM system, the Host module
mounting shelf and the Hosts should be mounted in the equipment rack as shown in
Figure 3-8. This configuration allows the fiber patch cord leads from the two Host
modules to be connected directly to the optical ports on any one of the four Hosts.

3.4.2 Install WDM Host Components
The WDM Host module mounting shelf may be mounted in either a 19-inch or 23-inch
EIA or WECO equipment rack. Four #12-24 screws are provided for securing the
mounting shelf to the rack.
Use the following procedure to install the WDM Host module mounting shelf in the
equipment rack and to mount the WDM modules in the WDM Host module mounting
shelf.

11 The WDM Host module mounting shelf is shipped with the mounting brackets
installed for 23-inch rack installations. If installing the mounting shelf in a 23-inch
rack, proceed to Step 4. If installing the mounting shelf in a 19-inch rack proceed
to Step 2.
22 Remove both mounting brackets from the mounting shelf (requires Phillips
screwdriver) and save screws for reuse.
33 Reinstall both mounting brackets so the short side of the bracket is flush with the
front panel as shown below. Use the screws removed in Step 2 to attach the new
brackets to the mounting shelf.
44 Position the mounting shelf in the designated mounting space in the rack (per
system design plan) and then secure the mounting brackets to the rack using the
four #12-24 machine screws provided.
55 Install each WDM Host module in the mounting shelf. A rail on the side of the
module fits into a guide within the mounting.
66 Secure each Host module to the mounting shelf by twisting the handle on each
quarter-turn fastener 90º.
77 Carefully store the fiber patch cord leads from each Host module. At the Remote
end, the ProAx fiber used in WDM deployments is Fiber Number 1. The routing
and connection procedures for the fiber patch cords are provided in “Optical
Connections For Systems With a WDM” on page 76. Or, after connecting the fiber
patch cord, correctly store the slack cable.
