1.5 Warnings and Hazards
Opening or tampering the ADX DAS will void all warranties.
WARRANTY
Actual separation distance is determined upon gain of antenna used.
Please maintain a minimum safe distance of at least 100
cm while operating near the donor and the server antennas.
Also, the donor antenna needs to be mounted outdoors on a permanent structure.
RF EXPOSURE & ANTENNA PLACEMENT Guidelines
Working with the ADX DAS
while in operation, may expose the technician to RF
electromagnetic fields that exceed FCC rules for human exposure. Visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
to learn more about the effects of exposure to RF electromagnetic
fields.

2. BLOCK DIAGRAM
Do not remove the protective covers on the fiber optic connectors until a connection is ready to be
made. Do not leave connectors uncovered when not connected.
The tip of the fiber optic connectors should not come into contact with any object or dust.
Refer to the cleaning procedure for information on the cleaning of the fiber tip.
Care of Fiber Optic Connectors
Fiber optic ports of the ADX DAS emit invisible laser radiation at the 1310, 1550nm wavelength
window.
To avoid eye injury never look directly into the optical ports, patch cords or optical cables. Do
not stare
into beam or view directly with optical instruments. Always assume optical output is on.
Only technicians familiar with fiber optic safety practices and procedures should perform optical
fiber connections and disconnections of the ADX DAS and the associat
ed cables.
The ADX DAS complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to laser
notice No.50 (July26. 2001)@IEC 60825
-1, Amendment2 (Jan. 2001).

3.1.1.3 Host/Remote Switch
The Host/Remote Switch allows the user to switch the default Repeater IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway of the
repeater to an alternative setup. These settings can be adjusted by logging into the ADX DAS in HOST mode and
configuring the settings under the Modem Box Setting section under the Install Page of NMS.
Once the settings are set, flipping the switch to the REMOTE position will reboot NMS module with the new
alternate settings. Please note that when the NMS is set to the REMOTE position, DHCP is disabled and the NMS
will not automatically assign an IP address to any device that connects directly to the NMS.

3.1.1.4 HE View/RU View Switch
The HE View/RU View Switch allows the user to disable the periodic monitoring performed by the NMS. In the
HE view mode, the NMS monitors the status of all subordinate units connected to NMS but when switched to HRU
view the NMS does not monitor the subordinate units. HRU View mode will allow the user to go to a HRU and
monitor/control the HE. If the NMS is set to the HE View mode and tries to connect to a HRU to monitor the HE,
data collisions between the NMS and HRU may prevent the user from properly monitoring or configuring the HE
when at the RU.

oVerify the number of packages received against the packing list.
oCheck all packages for external damage; report any external damage to the shipping carrier. If
there is damage, a shipping agent should be present before you unpack and inspect the contents
because damage caused during transit is the responsibility of the shipping agent.
oOpen and check each package against the packing list. If any items are missing, contact ADRF
customer service.
oIf damage is discovered at the time of installation, contact the shipping agent.
oVerify the AC voltage with DVM (Volt meter) is 110V AC. Incorrect AC voltage can damage the
ADX equipment.
oThis power of this system shall be supplied through wiring installed in a normal building. If
powered directly from the mains distribution system, it shall be used additional protection, such

7.2 Commissioning
7.2.1 Optic Commissioning
Figure 7-4 ODU Install page
xNavigate to the Install page of ADX-H-ODU (Figure 7-4)
xCompare the values of measured optic loss (LD power – PD power) in the Web-GUI with the actual optic loss
which is typically measured at the time of installation of the fiber.
- The calculated optic loss is displayed when the mouse pointer is placed over the Status indicator
of each link
Figure 7-5 measured optic loss display
- If the difference between the measure optic loss and the calculated loss is larger than 1.5dBo,
then clean the optic connector and optic port using optical cleaning swab. (refer to section 6.4)
xThe following is the definiton of the Status indicator of each link:
- Green: Indicates that optic loss is less than 5dBo
- Orange: Indicates that optic loss is greater than 5dBo
- Gray: No Master HRU is connected to this link.
xThe following is the definition for the background color of the Commissioning button:
- Green: Indicates that no optic loss compensation is needed.
- Orange: Indicates that optic loss compensation is needed.
- Gray: No Master HRU is connected to this link.
7.2.1.1 How to compensate the optic loss
Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
60
Optic loss compensation should be performed when the color of “Commissioning” button is orange. The
“Commissioning” button will turn orange when the difference between the compensated attenuation and the
actual compensated attenuation level is greater than 1.5 dB. Optic compensation can be performed by clicking the
orange “Commissioning” button.
xThe optic loss compensation for uplink and downlink are performed separately.
- The optic loss compensation for downlink will be performed based on the LD level of the ODU
and the PD level of the Master RU.
- The optic loss compensation for uplink will be performed based on the LD level of the Master
HRU and the PD level of the ODU.
xOptic loss compensation adjusts the attenuation based on Table 7-1 and the calculated optic loss (LD level-PD
Level).
- The calculated optic loss is displayed when a mouse is placed on the circle of each link. (Refer to
section 7.2.1.1)
- Based on the table below, when the calculated optic loss is 1dB, the attenuation will be set to
11dB.
- The attenuator for downlink optic loss compensation is located at the Master RU.
- The attenuators for uplink optic loss compensation are located at the ODU.

xExample: Let’s say that this ADX-H-ODU had previously been commissioned in a system where the optic loss
was 3 dBo. In the previous system, the correct amount of attenuation is 7dB. The ADX-H-ODU was moved to
another site and the new system has an optic loss of only 1dBo. At 1dBo of loss, the correct amount of
attenuation should be 11 dB. When this system powers on, optic commissioning will need to be performed
because the difference between the old attenuation level and the new attenuation level is 4dB which exceeds
the 1.5 dB threshold. Once optic commissioning is performed, it will set the attenaution level to 11 dB.

7.2.2 HE Commissioning
HE commissioning is composed of HE BCU and HE RFU commissioning. The HE BCU is an optional component
and should be used when WPSs’ signals are being used in the same frequency band.
7.2.2.1 Composite power
To perform HE commissioning, the user should calculate downlink composite input level and add the proper
amount of breath room required for rise in traffic.
xInformation that is needed to calculate commissioning levels are:
- Service frequency band
-Service technology
- The number of wireless service provider
- The number of carriers per technology
- The number of band sharing same amplifier
7.2.2.1.1 DL Composite Input Level Calculations for HE Commissioning
7.2.2.1.1.1 Single WSP in a frequency band
xMeasure the output power of the BTS signal that will be inserted into the RFU using a Spectrum Analyzer.
- If input signal includes more than one technology, then measure the composite power of each
technology.
xBased on Table 7-2, calculate the maximum composite input level by using the following formula:
o“Output power of BTS of technology being used” + “back-off value” (refer to Table 7-2)
- If calculated composite HE DL input power exceeds the permitted maximum input range, then
additional attenuation will need to be added so that the calculated HE DL input power does not
exceed 25dBm.

7.2.2.1.1.2 Multiple WSPs in a frequency band
When multiple WSPs exist in a frequency band at the same time, the ADX-H-BCU can be used to
combine/divide the signals received from multiple WSPs.
- The ADX-H-BCU can receive up to 3 incoming DL signals. Each incoming signal can be attenuated
individually allowing the user to specify power ratios to control the power per carrier.
- The downlink path of BCU has the input range from 0 to 25dBm.
- If the downlink output of BCU exceeds DL output ALC level set by user, ALC function will activate
and limit the DL output from exceeding the defined ALC level.
- The DL output of ADX-H-BCU is transferred to the DL input of RFU.
xMeasure the output power of the BTS signal that will be inserted into the BCU using a Spectrum Analyzer.
- If input signal includes more than one technology, then measure the composite power of each
technology.
xBased on Table 7-2, calculate the maximum composite input level by using the following formula:
o“Output power of BTS of technology being used” + “back-off value” (refer to Table 7-2)
Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
62
- If calculated composite HE DL input power exceeds the permitted maximum input range, then
additional attenuation will need to be added to the BCU input port so that the calculated HE DL
input power does not exceed 25dBm.
xThe RFU DL input commission level is the combined DL Output ALC Level of the ADX-H-BCU which can be
obtained from the Control page of the ADX-H-BCU.
- The maximum input level of HE RFU will not exceed 10dBm (= 5dBm + 10*log10 (3)) because the
maximum output of BCU each path is limited to 5dBm by the ALC function.
7.2.2.1.2 Example of commissioning value calculation
7.2.2.1.2.1 AT&T signal in the PCS band with multiple technologies (without attenuation)

HE Total Input 23.0dBm
xThe downlink input level for each technology should be measured because two technologies (GSM & WCDMA)
are being used by AT&T in the PCS band.
- Total measured input power for GSM is 20dBm and for WCDM is 20dBm.
xThe HE DL maximum input level for each technology can be calculated by adding the back-off value per
technology due to traffic load change (breathing).
xEstimated Total Max Input per band = Total input per band + back-off value per band for breathing.
xHE DL maximum input level becomes the sum of HE DL maximum input level for each technology.
- The sum of HE DL maximum input level for each technology is 28dBm (25.0dBm for GSM +
25.0dBm for WCDMA = 28.0dBm) and this value is 3dB (28dBm – 25dBm) larger than the
maximum DL input of HE RFU.
- If the calculated HE downlink commissioning value exceeds the maximum DL input of HE RFU,
attenuation will need to be added have the calculated HE downlink commissioning level not
exceed 25dBm.

- The attenuation and DL output ALC level for the other ports are set based on the formula below
to keep the power ratio between BCU ports.
!The maximum output power for the specified path = 10*log10[10^(Max_ALC/10)x(Pwr_Ratio)/
Max_Ratio]
Max_ALC: DL output ALC level for the path with maximum power ratio = 5dBm
Pwr_Ratio: Targeted DL output power ratio value for the specified path
Max_Ratio: maximum power ratio value
!The attenuation for the specified path = The targeted maximum input power for the specified path -
The maximum output power for the specified path
!DL output ALC level = The targeted maximum input power for the specified path - The attenuation
for the specified path
!The path for AT&T- CH2
The maximum output power = 10*log10[10^(5/10)x20%/50%] = 1.02dBm
The ATT value = 18.0dBm-1.02dBm=16.98dB Î 16.5dB(the control step of used attenuator is
0.5dB)
DL output ALC level = 18dBm – 16.5dB = 1.5dBm
!The path for Sprint- CH1
The maximum output power = 10*log10[10^(5/10)x30%/50%] = 2.78dBm
The ATT value = 9.0dBm-2.78dBm=6.22dB Î 6.0dB(the control step of used attenuator is 0.5dB)
DL output ALC level = 9.0dBm – 6.0dB = 3.0dBm
- The DL maximum output power of BCU is the sum of maximum output power for each port and
this power becomes the HE RFU input commissioning level.
- The maximum input level of HE RFU should be less than 10dBm (= 5dBm + 10*log10 (3)) because
the maximum output of BCU per each path doesn’t exceed 5dBm by ALC function.
