A PRELIMINARY InterReach™ Unison System Description SECTION 2 2.1 System Overview InterReach™ Unison is an intelligent fiber optic wireless networking system that is designed to handle both wireless voice and data communications and provide high-quality, ubiquitous, seamless access to the Cellular or Personal Communications Services (PCS) network in any public or private facility, including: • Campus environments • Airports • Office buildings • Shopping Malls • Hospitals • Public Facilities (convention centers, sports venues, etc.) Unlike other wireless distribution alternatives, Unison is an intelligent active system, using microprocessors to enable key capabilities such as software-selectable band settings, automatic gain control, ability to incrementally adjust downlink/uplink gain, end-to-end alarming of all components and the associated cable infrastructure, and a host of additional capabilities. The Unison system supports major Cellular/PCS standards and air interface protocols in use around the world, including: • Frequencies: 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz • Protocols: AMPS, TDMA, CDMA, DCS, GSM, EGSM, iDEN, CDPD, EDGE, GPRS, WCDMA PN 8700-10 620003-0 Rev. A InterReach Unison User Guide and Reference Manual 2-1 InterReach™ Unison System Description PRELIMINARY Key System Features • Superior RF performance, particularly in the areas of IP3 and noise figure. • High downlink composite power (+26 dBm), IP3 (+38 dBm) and low uplink noise figure (22 dB for a system with 8 RAUs), enables support of a large number of channels and larger coverage footprint per antenna. • The Main Hub and the Expansion Hub are software configurable. Thus, the frequency band can be field configured. • The system supports flexible cabling alternatives, allowing the use of either multimode or single-mode fiber (in addition to standard Cat-5 or Cat-6 [Cat-5/6] twisted pair). Cabling type can be selected to meet the resident cabling infrastructure of the facility and unique building topologies. • Extended system “reach”. Using multimode fiber, fiber runs can be as long as 1.5 kilometers. Alternately, with single mode fiber the fiber run can be as long as 6 kilometers (creating a total system “wingspan” of 12 kilometers). And the Cat-5/6 twisted pair cable run can be up to 100 meters recommended maximum (150 meters with RF performance degradation). • Flexible RF configuration capabilities, including: • System gain: – Ability to manually set gain in 1 dB steps on both downlink and uplink. • RAU: – RAU uplink and downlink gain can be attenuated 10 dB. – Uplink level control protects the system from input overload and can be optimized for either a single operator or multi-operators/protocols. – VSWR check on RAU reports if there is a problem with the antenna. • The system firmware effectively “future proofs” the product. When any modifications are made to the product, including the addition of new software capabilities/services, systems that have already been installed can be upgraded simply by downloading new firmware (either locally or remotely). • Extensive OA&M capabilities, including fault isolation to the field replaceable unit, automatic reporting of all warnings and alarms, and user-friendly graphical-user interface OA&M software packages. 2-2 InterReach Unison User Guide and Reference Manual PN 8700-10 620003-0 Rev. A PRELIMINARY System Hardware 2.2 System Hardware The InterReach Unison system consists of three modular components: • 19" rack-mountable Main Hub (connects to up to 4 Expansion Hubs) • Converts RF signals to optical on the downlink; optical to RF on the uplink • Microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control) • Software configurable band • Simplex interface to any RF source • System master – periodically polls all downstream units (Expansion Hubs/RAUs) for system status, and automatically reports any warnings/alarms • 19" rack-mountable Expansion Hub (connects to up to 8 Remote Access Units) • Converts optical signals to electrical on the downlink and electrical signals to optical on the uplink • Microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control) • Software configurable band (based on command from Main Hub) • Supplies DC power to RAU • Remote Access Unit (RAU) • Converts electrical signals to RF on the downlink; RF to electrical on the uplink • Microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control) • Protocol/band specific units The minimum configuration of a Unison system is one Main Hub, one Expansion Hub, and one RAU (1-1-1). The maximum configuration of a system is one Main Hub, four Expansion Hubs, and 32 RAUs (1-4-32). Multiple systems can be combined to provide larger configurations. PN 8700-10 620003-0 Rev. A Help Hot Line (U.S. only): 1-800-530-9960 2-3 PRELIMINARY InterReach™ Unison System Description 2.3 System OA&M Capabilities The InterReach Unison is microprocessor controlled and contains firmware which enables much of the OA&M functionality. Complete alarming, down to the field replaceable unit (i.e., Main Hub, Expansion Hub, Remote Access Unit) and the cabling infrastructure, is available. All events occurring in a system, defined as a Main Hub and all of its associated Expansion Hubs and Remote Access Units, are automatically reported to the Main Hub. The Main Hub monitors system status and communicates that status using the following methods: • Normally closed (NC) alarm contact closures can be tied to standard NC alarm monitoring systems or directly to a base station for alarm monitoring. • The Main Hub’s front panel serial port connects directly to a PC (for local access) or to a modem (for remote access). Figure 2-1 AdminManager can only initiate communications with a remotely installed system; it cannot receive modem calls. Use the OpsConsole for monitoring and receiving communications from remotely installed systems.

A PRELIMINARY OA&M Software 2.3.1 OA&M Software The AdminManager software runs on a Laptop PC which is either directly connected to the DB-9 RS-232 male connector on the Main Hub’s front panel or is remotely communicating through a modem that is connected to the DB-9 connector on the Main Hub’s rear panel. The AdminManager communicates with one Main Hub, and its downstream units, at a time. • Connected locally, you can access the Installation Wizard which lets you configure a newly installed system, or access the Configuration Panel which lets you query system status, configure a newly added or swapped unit, or change system parameters. • Connected remotely, AdminManager initiates communications with the Main Hub. You can access a read-only Configuration & Maintenance panel which lets you check system status to help you determine if an on-site visit is required. Refer to Section 7 for information about installing and using the AdminManager software. Alternately, an LGC Wireless OA&M software application called the OpsConsole is available separately. The OpsConsole lets you manage, monitor, and maintain multiple sites and systems from a centralized location. This software is described in the OpsConsole User Guide, LGC Wireless part number 8701-10. 2.3.2 Configuring, Maintaining, and Monitoring Unison Locally Each Main Hub, Expansion Hub, and RAU in the system constantly monitors itself and its downstream units for internal fault and warning conditions. The results of the monitoring are stored in memory and compared against new results. The Expansion Hubs monitor their RAUs and store their status in memory. The Main Hub monitors its Expansion Hubs and stores their status and the status of the RAUs in its memory. When a unit detects a change in status, a fault or warning is reported. Faults are indicated locally by red status LEDs, and faults and warnings are reported to the Main Hub and displayed on a PC/laptop, via the Main Hub’s serial port, that is running the AdminManager software.

A PRELIMINARY Monitoring and Maintaining Unison Remotely 2.3.3 Monitoring and Maintaining Unison Remotely • Using AdminManager Remotely You can use AdminManager to query Unison status via a read-only Configuration & Maintenance panel. You cannot change system parameters or configure system components remotely with AdminManager. (Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 2-4.) • Using OpsConsole Remotely When monitoring the system remotely, any change of state within the system causes the Main Hub to initiate an automatic call-out and report the system status to the OpsConsole. If the host does not acknowledge the connection, the Main Hub issues an automatic call-out every 15 minutes until an auto acknowledge or standard request for status (initiated by the host) is received. Refer to the OpsConsole User Guide, LGC Wireless part number 8701-10, for more information about using the OpsConsole for system monitoring. The following figure illustrates how the system reports its status to AdminManager and the OpsConsole.

A Help Hot Line (U.S. only): 1-800-530-9960 6-15 PRELIMINARY Installing Unison Components Powering On the Expansion Hub 1. Connect the AC power cord to the Expansion Hub. 2. Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet. 3. Turn on the power to the Expansion Hub and check that all the LED lamps are functioning properly. Upon power-up, the LEDs will blink for five seconds for a visual check that they are functioning. After the five-second test: • The POWER and UL STATUS LEDs should be green. • The E-HUB STATUS and DL STATUS LEDs should be red because the Main Hub is not yet connected. • All port LEDs should be off because no RAUs are connected yet. NOTE: Leave the dust caps on the fiber ports until you are ready to connect the fiber optic cables. Testing and Connecting the Fiber Cables Considerations: • Before connecting the fiber cables, confirm that their optical loss does not exceed 3 dB optical budget. • If fiber distribution panels are used, confirm that the total optical loss of fiber cable, from the Main Hub through distribution panels and patch cords to the Expansion Hub, does not exceed the optical budget. • Make sure the fiber cable’s connectors are SC/APC (angle-polished).Using any other connector type will result in degraded system performance and may damage the equipment. (You can use an SC/APC pigtail if the fiber cable’s connectors are not SC/APC, see “Splicing Fiber and Pigtail” on page 6-18.) NOTE: Observe all Fiber Port Safety Precautions listed in Section 6.2.3 on page 6-4. To test the fiber cables: 1. Perform cable testing and record the results. Test results are required for the final As-Built Document. 2. Make a note of which cable you will use for uplink and downlink. This information is needed when connecting the cables to the Main Hub. 6-16 InterReach Unison User Guide and Reference Manual PN 8700-10 620003-0 Rev. A PRELIMINARY Installing Expansion Hubs To clean the fiber ports: Use compressed air to blow dust out of each fiber port before you insert the SC/APC connector. Note that compressed air should not leave any residue as this will contaminate the fiber port. To clean the fiber connectors: Be sure that the fiber cable’s SC/APC connectors are clean and free of dust or oils. If the fiber connector front face is not free of dust or oils, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning it. To connect the fiber cables: The fiber cable is labeled with either 1 or 2, or is color-coded. In addition to these labels, you should add a code that identifies which port on the Main Hub is being used and which Expansion Hub the cables are intended for. This differentiates the connectors for proper connection between the Main Hub and Expansion Hubs. If the fiber jumper is labeled with 1 or 2: 1. Connect 1 to UPLINK on Expansion Hub. 2. Connect 2 to DOWNLINK on Expansion Hub. 3. Label both ends of each cable with which Main Hub port is used. For example: First pair to Main Hub port 1: 11 (uplink), 12 (downlink); Second pair to Main Hub port 2: 21 (uplink), 22 (downlink); Third pair to Main Hub port 3: 31 (uplink), 32 (downlink); and so on. 4. Record which number you connected to UPLINK and DOWNLINK. This information is needed when connecting the other end of the fiber cable to the Main Hub’s fiber ports. If the fiber jumper is color-coded (for example, “blue” or “red”): 1. Connect “blue” to UPLINK on Expansion Hub. 2. Connect “red” to DOWNLINK on Expansion Hub. 3. Label both ends of each cable with which Main Hub port is used. For example: First pair to Main Hub port 1: 11 (uplink), 12 (downlink); Second pair to Main Hub port 2: 21 (uplink), 22 (downlink); Third pair to Main Hub port 3: 31 (uplink), 32 (downlink); and so on. 4.

Help Hot Line (U.S. only): 1-800-530-9960 6-17 PRELIMINARY Installing Unison Components Splicing Fiber and Pigtail The fiber cable must have SC/APC connectors. If it does not, you can splice a pigtail, which has SC/APC connectors, to the fiber cable. There are two different pigtails: 1 for single-mode fiber (PN 4013SCAPC-3) and 1 for multimode fiber (PN 4012SCAPC-3). To splice the fiber optic cable to the SC/APC pigtail: Option A 1. Secure both the fiber cable and the SC/APC pigtail in a splice tray that is installed immediately adjacent to the Hub. 2. Prepare the fiber end by ring-cutting the polyethylene jacket, cutting back the Kevlar strands, and stripping back the fiber cladding. Ensure that sufficient slack is maintained in order to be able to reach the fusion splicer. 3. Clean the unclad fiber core using isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes. 4. Cleave the unclad fiber to the length prescribed by the fusion splicer’s specification sheets. 5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the SC/APC pigtail. 6. Pass the splice sleeve onto the fiber strand. 7. Position both fiber ends in the fusion splicer and complete splice in accordance with the fusion splicer’s operation instructions. 8. Ensure that the estimated loss for the splice as measured by the fusion splicer is 0.10 dB or better. 9. Slide the fusion splicing sleeve over the point of the fusion splice. 10.

A PRELIMINARY Connecting Contact Alarms to a Unison System 6.7 Connecting Contact Alarms to a Unison System The Unison Main Hub can generate (source) two contact alarms as well as sense an external contact alarm. • Alarm Source The Main Hub has two alarm contacts, major and minor errors. These contacts are normally-closed (NC) and will open when an internal alarm is detected. • Major error is active when any faults or disconnects are detected. • Minor error is active during a lockout or warning, or when the end-to-end system test is not valid. • Alarm Sense The Main Hub can monitor an external alarm contact using this feature. The port can be configured for normally-open (NO) or normally-closed (NC) contacts. The interface expects a set of floating contacts. An external voltage source is not required for this interface. AdminManager or OpsConsole is used to monitor the port status. The following table lists the alarm types, equipment that Unison is connected to, cable(s) used, and the errors (major and/or minor) that are detected. Alarm Type Unison connected to Source MetroReach Source BTS Cable(s) Used Errors Detected 5-port Daisy-Chain Alarm Cable and male-to-male adapter cable that is provided with MetroReach Major Alarm Source Daisy-Chain Cable Major 5-port Daisy-Chain Alarm Cable Major Alarm Source Daisy-Chain Cable Major and Minor Source ARM2000 Alarm Source Daisy-Chain Cable Major and Minor Sense LGCell 5-port Daisy-Chain Alarm Cable and the Alarm Sense Adapter Cable Major Alarm Source Daisy-Chain Cable and the Alarm Sense Adapter Cable Major Note that only major errors are supported on MetroReach and LGCell, and that the 5-port Daisy-Chain Alarm Cable supports only major errors as well. Therefore, using the 5-port Daisy-Chain Alarm Cable with equipment that supports both major and minor errors will result in only major errors being detected. This is also the case when using the Alarm Source Daisy-Chain Cable, which supports both major and minor alarms, with MetroReach or LGCell because these systems only support major errors.
