ACCESS THE EMS

NOTE: In the default configuration, the Craft port has a DHCP server that assigns an IP address

to the computer that is connected. You should therefore have your network interface

configured for DHCP, or configured with a static IP address in the same subnet, where the

default is 192.168.0.1/24.

of the following:

•Disable the popup blocker for

Page 60 FlexWave Pr ism Elem ent Managem ent System 7.1 User Manual

SET DATE AND TIME

The following rules apply t o the syst em tim e and date:

•The supported dat e and t im e range is from 1 January 2005 00: 00: 00 

( 12 AM) to 31 Decem ber 2037 23: 59: 59 (11: 59: 59 PM) , where January is 1

and Decem ber is 12.

•Tim e zone and day light savings are not support ed.

•All PRUs synchronize t im e wit h the m anaging Host at t he t im e t he connected

PRU is discovered. The date and tim e on t he PRUs t hen synchronize to t he Host

and do not drift.

•I f t he syst em dat e or t im e is changed while a PRU is out of com m unicat ion wit h

the Host (for exam ple, loss of power or scheduled m aint enance) , once

com m unication is reest ablished it will take up to 10 m inutes for t he PRU to

display t he updated dat e or t im e.

•I f t he difference between the set tim e and t he present t im e is greater than the

session t im e out setting, t he user will be logged out. For example, if t he Session

Idle Time is set to 10 m inutes, and t he t im e set in t his procedure is 11: 10 AM

but it is act ually 11: 30 AM, t here is a 20 m inute difference, which t riggers t he

Session Idle Time and the user will be logged out.

NOTE: It can take up to 17 minutes before the updated time or date to take effect in connected

Remote Units.

NOTE: You can set the date and time at any time independent from one another. For example, to

change the time for daylight savings, open the System Date and Time page, click on the

hour shown in the System Time box, increase or decrease the hour by one, and then click

CAUTION! When using the 10 MHz external reference clock, the signal must be connected to the Host

before enabling the clock in the software. If an external 10MHz reference clock is selected

for operation, but is not present or outside of the frequency range of 10MHz +/- 5ppm,

communication between the Host and Remote over the optical fiber will fail.

CONFIGURE HOST FORWARD GAIN

NOTE: Digital power measurements are inaccurate when ALC is active.

Follow these st eps t o set t he Forward Gain value for the Host DART.

1Determ ine what the Host DART Forward Gain should be. Use a signal generator

and spect r um analyzer t o m easure t he uplink attenuat ion from t he Host to the

BTS, and t he FWD power at the Host from the BTS to determ ine unloaded

power level.

The Host DART expects signal levels from -25 to +5 dBm. I f t he fully loaded signal

is + 5 dBm , t hen t he 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 31 dB. The

equation is:

DART Forward Gain = 5 - fully Loaded Base St ation Signal

CAUTION! 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.

CAUTION! 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.

NOTE: In the EMS GUI, the reverse path gain range for Classic DARTs is 5 to 36 dB, which

indicates actual reverse path system gain. If you set this gain through the SNMP SET

commands, then the gain range is 0 to 31 dB, which maps to the actual GUI/system

reverse path gain range of 5 to 36 dB.

CONFIGURE HOST REVERSE GAIN

When setting the Reverse Gain value for the Host DART, t he following rules m ust be

observed:

•The Reverse Gain setting can be used t o overcom e RF int erfacing losses from t he

Host DART to the BTS/ BDA. I f you want unit y reverse path gain and the losses

to the BTS/ BDA are 20 dB, t hen t he Reverse Gain should be set to 20 dB.

•Sim ulcast changes t he actual REV gain level by 10log( n) where n = the num ber

of sim ulcast links. For exam ple, if REV gain is set to 10dB in a 2: 1 sim ulcast

configuration, the act ual REV gain is only 7dB ( 10dB - 3dB) . I f REV gain is set

to 20dB in a 4: 1 sim ulcast, the actual gain is 14dB ( 20dB - 6dB) .
