4.2.2 E-RIT Tool
The E-RIT is used (only if RT «N»):
–as an interface between the PC and the RT unit: it receives the information necessary to the ini-
tialization and programming of the RT from the PC and transmits it to the RT unit;
–to implement optimal alignment of the antenna facing the Base Station. This function is provided
by the Received Signal Level control system (visual and/or audible) of the E-RIT.
The E-RIT tool is equipped with a sheath to protect it from impacts and allowing the operator hands-free
operation.

4.2.3 Site configuration and adjustment procedures
4.2.3.1 Configuration setting of the 7390RT parameters
To carry out RT radio programming, implement FIRST the assembly shown in Figure 41 – RT «N»
connector configuration setup diagram.
Note: The radio configuration requires the information featuring in the installation instructions (see
Appendix 1 – 7390 TS installation sheet), duly completed in advance. This will be used to define
the parameters required by the configuration application.
Note: It is recommended that this task be carried out indoors. The use of the portable PC in inclement
weather conditions (rain, snow, etc.) is not advisable.
Note: Safety recommendations listed in section 1.3 being followed, it is not necessary to establish spe-
cial grounding connection for the NT casing. Therefore, it is performed via the 3-wire mains cord.
FOR THE ASSEMBLIES DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS,
CONNECT THE NT TO THE MAINS SUPPLY LAST OF ALL, ONCE ALL THE
OTHER CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE BEFORE.

4.2.3.2 RT configuration (maximum distance according to a NT-RBS)
The steps of RT configuration are:
–geographic area,
–RF gain correctio calculation,
–cable gain correction for,
•mono NT software ref.:1.1.2d,
•two NT software ref.:1.0.9a,
•4/8 NT software ref.:1.1.2d.
Geographic area
Once the configuration application has been run, the radio parameters must be supplied.
The radio configuration parameters can be supplied to the software in two different ways:
•in the form of a configuration file stored on an IT medium (floppy disk, CD-ROM or other); the
parameters obtained like this may, if necessary, be subsequently modified,
•by direct input of parameters via configuration screens.
In the case of data saved in a file, insert the IT medium in the PC and transfer the contents of the file to
the installation software.

78
In the case of the parameters being directly entered, follow the RT radio programming stages described
below:
•Calculate the maximum RT-RBS distance (cf. A),
•Calculate the gain corrections (cf. B),
Once the parameters have been entered, the configuration must be sent to the RT radio unit.
Note: To ensure optimum radio link quality, define with care the parameter values in compliance with
the real environmental characteristics.
RF gain correction calculation
Note: does not depend on RT / NT topology
To define the value of the parameters to be entered in the "Gain corrections calculation" screen, use the
installation sheet (see Appendix 1 – 7390 TS installation sheet), complemented by the Radio Planning.
The RT-RBS distance must be compatible with the value defined in the previous screen.
As the software parameters are entered, the software carries out the gain correction calculations.
If the parameters cannot be accepted, the background colors of the Rx and Tx gain connection windows
change to red. If the values are beyond the system capabilities, all the windows are emptied of their
contents and are grayed-out; it is then necessary to recommence the input starting with the first RT-RBS
distance parameter.
For the RT-RBS distance, it must be to within the following margins:
–100 m < D < 200 m, 20 m max. error
–200 m < D < 400 m, 40 m max. error

Cable gain correction
For the cable gain correction calculation, there are three possible scenarios depending on the installation
topology: Mono NT, two NTs or Multi NTs.
1. Mono NT software ref.: 1.1.2d
Cable gain correction in the case of Mono NT, the screen appears as follows, once Mono NT has
been selected:
The cable length indicated is the total length including the free part and the part imposed by the topology.
The field in brackets on the screen is defined as follows:
minimum value = N x 70 m (N number of repeater),
maximum value = N+1 x 70 m (N number of repeater),
The length adjustment is between 1 m and the maximum length of the first segment with respect to the
cable selected (70 or 210 m).
The software will calculate automatically with respect to the entire set of parameters the corrections to
be made.

–Help for using the E-RIT
•E-RIT tool received field indicator (represented in Figure 44 – Adjustment procedure using
the E-RIT tool potentiometer): to the maximum received field corresponds a maximum vumeter
pointer deviation; as soon as the pointer reaches its maximum stop, adjust the potentiometer
to set the pointer back to its center position (these adjustments may be renewed).
Figure 44 – Adjustment procedure using the E-RIT tool potentiometer
•audio headset connected to the "service kit" cable: to the minimum received field corresponds
a low frequency audio signal (headset's LF tone); to the maximum received field corresponds
a high frequency audio signal.
The received signal follows the curve below which comprises several maximum points called "lobes":
Figure 45 – Main lobe and side lobes of the received signal
Note: As the side lobes are rather close (4° to 5°) from the main lobe at a rather high level (-15 dB),
searching the maximum received signal must be carried out carefully to make sure that pointing
is effectively carried out considering the main lobe (see § Horizontal and vertical pointings).

2. Pointing an integrated antenna
Figure 46 – "azimuth" and "elevation" adjustment screw
–Presets:
•Using the Allen key, slightly untighten the "azimuth" and "elevation" screws so that the RT
can move easily (marks 1 and 2, Figure 46 – "azimuth" and "elevation" adjustment screw).
•Horizontally direct the RT to the Base Station using a compass if necessary.
–Horizontal and vertical pointings:
Using the E-RIT tool and/or the audio headset (see section Help for using the E-RIT § 4.2.3.4 Ali-
gning the RT unit antenna), perform the following adjustments:
•Move the RT radio by performing horizontal scanning, until you find a maximum reception
level.
Note: If no level is detected, check with the compass that the RT correctly points to the base station. In
case of failure check the installation (polarization, connections).
•Carry out alignment with respect to the strongest signal. To do this, either:
•observe the maximum field level on the E-RIT tool indicator shown in Figure 44 – Adjust-
ment procedure using the E-RIT tool potentiometer,
•or, evaluate the maximum field level using the audio headset connected to the service kit
cable,
•Using the Allen key, slightly tighten the "azimuth" screws (mark 1, Figure 46 – "azimuth" and
"elevation" adjustment screw) before performing the vertical pointing, in order to maintain a
maximum azimuth reception and make the two adjustments independent (H and V).
•Provided that a maximum has effectively been detected during the previous pointing, several
cases are possible depending on the maximum position in the reception curve (see Figure 45
– Main lobe and side lobes of the received signal).

3. Pointing a non integrated antenna
Figure 47 – Pole mounting 1+0 9900UXI102
–Presets:
•Be sure that the three screws ¥ and the four screws ¦ are a bit slackened, just enough to allow
movement of the different parts of the pole mounting. These screws must not be too much slac-
kened, otherwise, the fine-tuning of alignment will be imperfect. Use the 10 mm Allen key.
•Horizontally direct the RT to the Base Station using a compass if necessary.
–Horizontal and vertical pointings:
Using the E-RIT tool and/or the audio headset (see section Help for using the E-RIT § 4.2.3.4 Ali-
gning the RT unit antenna) , perform the following adjustments:
•Move the RT radio by performing horizontal scanning, until you find a maximum reception
level.
Note: If no level is detected, check with the compass that the RT correctly points to the base station. In
case of failure check the installation (polarization, connections).
•Carry out alignment with respect to the strongest signal. To do this, either:
•observe the maximum field level on the E-RIT tool indicator shown in Figure 44 – Adjust-
ment procedure using the E-RIT tool potentiometer,
•or, evaluate the maximum field level using the audio headset connected to the service kit
cable,
•with the azimutal turnbuckle ¨ and the 16 mm flat wrench, fine tune the azimutal setting,
before performing the vertical pointing, in order to maintain a maximum azimut reception
and make the two adjustments independent (H and V),
•with the vertical turnbuckle § and the 16 mm flat wrench, fine tune the elevation setting until
you find a maximum reception level. Be aware that if the elevation angle is higher than +5º
or lower than -5º, it is necessary to remove completely one of the 2 screws fixing the anten-
na support on the azimut support and insert it in the third hole accessible. See Appendix 6
– Installation of the Terminal Station RT unit with a non integrated antenna.
•Provided that a maximum has effectively been detected during the previous pointing, several
cases are possible depending on the maximum position in the reception curve (see Figure 45

Note: The following cases are treated for the vertical scanning (site), they are also valid for the horizon-
tal scanning (azimuth).
Case 1 (Figure 48 – Vertical scanning: case 1): only one wide maximum is found throughout the
vertical scanning. Thus the RT is aligned within the ± 6° deviation range corresponding to the side lobe.
Then slightly move the RT horizontally (by less than 6°) to the BS.
Perform again vertical scanning.
Figure 48 – Vertical scanning: case 1
Case 2 (Figure 49 – Vertical scanning: case 2): only two remote maxima have been found throughout
vertical scanning.
Then adjust the vertical position so that the reception level is at the minimum between both maxima.
Horizontally move the RT until the main lobe is found, as shown in Figure 49 – Vertical scanning: case
2.
Figure 49 – Vertical scanning: case 2
Case 3 (Figure 50 – Vertical scanning: case 3): three maxima have been found throughout vertical
scanning, including one maximum of higher level (main lobe).
Then move the RT so that it matches the central maximum.
Use the potentiometer to distinguish both maximum types by varying the received signal sensitivity and
thus confirm that the pointing effectively corresponds to the main lobe (maximum of higher level).
Slightly adjust the vertical and horizontal positions until the maximum main lobe level is reached.
RT alignment with the base station is then correct.

Note: If no maximum is detected throughout vertical scanning, it means that the horizontal reception
maximum is lost, the horizontal position is not located within the ± 6° deviation range.
Then horizontally move the RT to the BS so that a maximum is found and vertically scan again
to find one of the 3 previously described cases.
–End of pointing
Once alignment is completed:
•For an integrated antenna, tighten the "azimuth" screws using the Allen key, then the "eleva-
tion" screws (marks 1 and 2, Figure 46 – "azimuth" and "elevation" adjustment screw).
•For a non integrated antenna, tighten the three screws ¥ and the four screws ¦ (Figure 47 –
Pole mounting 1+0 9900UXI102).
•Make sure the maximum reception signal is always found.
•Completely lock the mechanical assembly preventing the RT radio assembly from misaligning
4. Cabling according to standards
–Remove the tools and cables used for the RT commissioning and adjustment.
–On the Radio side, connect the RT/NT connection cable in accordance with the requirements in-
dicated in § 3.6 Installation of the RT/NT link.
–Screw up the stopper of catch BNO on the radio to allow the sealing of the radio.
Make sure you observe the conditions of case 3 before performing
the following step to complete the pointing

4.3 Commissioning the NT
Note: To carry out the following phases of the Terminal Station commissioning, the link Base Station
must be operational and its antenna correctly orientated.
Considerations
–Before commissioning the NT unit, complete the RT unit adjustment procedures.
–No adjustment is required for commissioning the NT.
–To check the voltage at the mains connector terminals, use a measuring instrument (voltmeter).
–For the mains connection, use only the connection cable supplied with the equipment.
–Never use an extension cable for connecting the NT unit to the power source.
Stages (Figure 51 – The NT unit 220V)
1. Connect the RT/NT connection cable. Use ref. 1 connector.
2. To ground the NT unit in this way, carry out the procedures described in Chapter 3 Installation of the
7390TS Terminal Station. Use the lug and screw hardware supplied with the equipment, ref. 7.
3. Check that the mains socket to which the NT is to be connected supplies voltage compliant with the
equipment characteristics and that it is fitted with an earth.
4. (ref. 5)
•For NCAxxx: connect the NT connection cable to the NT connector and then to the mains.
•For NGAxxx: connect the 48V cable to the HE15-3 connector, then to the 48V arrival.
5. Power-up the NT unit using the On/Off switch (ref. 6); the green "Power on" LED (ref. 3) lights up.
The red "Alarm" LED (ref. 4) lights up (searching for the carrier frequency) then flashes at different
rates according to the current phase:
•slow flashing: automatic scanning over the frequencies,
•fast flashing: frame recovery (authentication by the serial number) once the frequency is
found.

Malfunctions to the installation:
The A7390 is a reliable and easy-to-install system. By following the procedures described in the
documentation, no problems should occur. However, if these procedures have been poorly applied, here
is a list of the possible problems that may arise.
6. Wait for this automatical initialization time of the NT. As soon as the red LED (ref. 4) goes out, the
system can be managed by the BS (calibration of the radio link (output, frequency, time) has been
performed).
Note: The maximum initialization time is in the order of 5 minutes (otherwise see § 5.4 Changing a
faulty NT unit).
Client terminals are connected to the ref. 2 connectors (see § 4.4 Client terminal connections (NT unit)
or § 4.5 Client terminal connections (NT Lite unit)
