DS3 INITIAL TURNUP
6.1
GENERAL
MDR-8000 Series Radios
DS3 Initial Turnup
This section describes the procedures required to turn up the DS3 MDR-8000/i
Microwave Digital Radios after installation.
6.2
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
Perform the following initial turnup procedures in sequence:
Install software on PC (Chart 1).
Note
Software installed at the factory before delivery should not be
overwritten by downloading to the radio controller at initial turnup. Refer to Section 10, Maintenance for procedure to upgrade
existing software.
Establish communication between radio and USI computer (Chart 2).
Provision radio (Chart 3).
Note
Before troubleshooting a radio that is not performing correctly,
check that the antenna has been aligned by contacting the program
manager, project engineer, or appropriate customer representative.
6.3
Perform applicable test procedures (Chart 4 through Chart 10).
Log test results on field test data sheet.
PROVISIONING OVERVIEW
This part of the section describes provisioning options available with the MDR-8000
software application. Provisioning allows for the definition, editing, and storing of
specific functions. The MDR-8000 provides the ability to provision equipment and
facilities through a series of Windows™-based screens and messages. The Provisioning menu lists equipment and functions which may be provisioned. Use only those
provisioning screens that are applicable to your radio. Refer to on-line help for context-sensitive description of the screens and step-by-step procedures to accomplish
other Provisioning tasks.

Load MDR-8000 Software on PC
PURPOSE
Provides procedures to load the Windows user interface (WINUSI) software supplied on CD
ROM into the user’s PC.
Radio controller software is loaded at the factory and therefore the procedure to load initial
software onto the controller is not included in this section. The procedure for upgrading
software is provided in the Section 10, Maintenance.
PREREQUISITES
Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT software loaded onto PC
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
PC – 100 Mhz @ 32 RAM minimum, Pentium or equivalent
MDR-8000 DS3 Software Kit, PN 695-9406-022
GENERAL
Before operating the user system interface (USI) for the first time, the programs contained
on the CD ROM must be installed on the PC. The installation process configures the PC for
its unique requirements and prepares it to run the program. For additional information to
set up and operate the PC, refer to Section 9, User’s Guide.
STEP
PROCEDURE
Insert CD ROM disk into PC.
On Windows desktop, double click on My Computer icon. My Computer
window displays.
In My Computer window, click on CD ROM icon. Files window displays.
See Figure 6-1. Follow directions and load setup.exe file (containing both USI
and download software) on PC.
STOP. This procedure is complete. Proceed to Chart 2.

Provisioning
PURPOSE
Provides procedures to provision the radio. Check factory provisioning against actual system
requirements. If the provisioning checks find differences in provisioned parameters, change
the provisionable parameter(s) as required.
PREREQUISITES
Software loaded into radio (Chart 1).
Communication established between PC and radio controller (Chart 2).
TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
PC
RS-232 Interface Cable Alcatel PN 695-7848
GENERAL
This turn-up procedure serves as a guide to configure and provision the radio system using
the PC.
At initial turn-up, the MDR-8000 radios at each site must be provisioned on site using local
provisioning menus on the USI computer. Radio configuration, mode of operation, and
equipment configuration provisioning can only be performed locally. After the remote
addresses have been set locally, if ELMC option key on controller has remote provisioning
capability, the user can change transmit switching, and receive switching functions and
change DS3 and fault alarm provisioning.
STEP
PROCEDURE
Note
Changes to provisioning do not have to be made in any particular order.
Display Local Provisioning screen (Double click tower icon on Win USI screen).
Check factory provisioning and reprovision parameters as necessary for DS3
radio. See Figure 6-4 for sequence.
Click on Prov. Save on tool bar to store new provisioning information on
controller.
STOP. This procedure is complete. Proceed to Chart 4.

TEST PROCEDURES
Note
Ensure that all antennas are properly aligned and waveguide is
in good physical condition before attempting radio turn-up.
This section describes the procedures required to turn up the DS3 MDR-8000/i
Microwave Digital Radios after installation.
These procedures are for equipment that is properly aligned and tested at the factory
before shipment. The only adjustments included are those that are normally made
during installation. If any of the required measurements are not within the specified
tolerance, take corrective action in accordance with Section 10, Maintenance.
6.5
TESTING SEQUENCE
See Figure 6-15 for flowchart showing testing sequence. Follow the path for your
radio and perform tests in the that order.

TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Refer to Table 6-1 for a list of test equipment required for initial turn-up. Similar
test equipment can be substituted for that recommended, but before substitution,
check the parameters for minimum requirements. If the characteristics of the test
equipment being considered are not within required parameters and result in a
change of any procedure, note the details of the procedure change. Become familiar
with the operation of any test equipment before using it. Operating instructions for
test equipment are not included in this instruction book, except for precautionary
notes or special instrument settings required in performing a test procedure. When
further information regarding test equipment is required, refer to the equipment
manufacturer’s instructional data.

TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Frequency Counter HP-5340B
Test Lead and Tool Kit
Allow a 1-hour warmup period for radio and test equipment before starting applicable tests
or improper frequency adjustment can result. If waiting for initial alignment is impractical,
it may be performed after a warmup period of 5 minutes minimum; however, crystal
frequency should be rechecked after full warmup.
STEP
PROCEDURE
Verify that carrier frequencies from station license or construction permit
conform to labels on UD-35( ) Transmitter.
Perform procedure shown on Figure 6-16.
If rack is equipped with B-side equipment, repeat for B side.

DS3 Radio DADE
PURPOSE
Provides procedures to check, and if necessary adjust the differential absolute delay between
the main and diversity paths to the antennas in a space diversity configuration. Also, this
procedure must be performed following the replacement of a DS3 I/O interface module in a
protected system.
PREREQUISITES

completed at both ends of hop
Normal path conditions
TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Oscilloscope, Tektronix TDS520 (or equivalent)
GENERAL
Radio Differential Absolute Delay Equalization (DADE) is performed during initial turn-up
to equalize path delays in the A and B radios, and it should be rechecked any time the main
or diversity XMT/RCV modules are replaced.
STEP
PROCEDURE
Note
If the A pulse trails the B pulse, the A-side of the radio has more
delay than the B-side. If the B pulse trails the A pulse, the B-side
of the radio has more delay than the A-side.
Perform procedure shown on Figure 6-19.
Disconnect test equipment.

17. MEASURE RSL ON PWR METER.
CALCULATE RSL AT ANTENNA PORT ON DIPLEXER,
BASED ON MEASURED RSL AT RCV ISOLATOR OUTPUT:
RSL = MEASURED RSL + INSERTION LOSS OF RCV ISOLATOR
(0.2 dB NOMINAL) + INSERTION LOSS OF DIPLEXER FILTER/RCV
FILTER (MARKED ON LABEL ON FILTER)
EXAMPLE:
MEASURED RSL AT OUTPUT OF ISOLATOR = –37 dBm
LABEL ON DIPLEXER FILTER/RCV FILTER SHOWS
INSERTION LOSS = 2 dB
RSL AT ANTENNA INPUT = –37 dBm + 2 dB + 0.2 dB = –34.8 dBm

Over-The-Hop DS3 BER Threshold Test
PURPOSE
Use this procedure to check RCVR threshold end-to-end in both directions over the hop.
Refer to Section 10, Maintenance for any alarms or corrective maintenance.
PREREQUISITES
Correct antenna alignment
TOOLS REQUIRED
BER Test Set/Communications Analyzer
Test Lead and Tool Kit

PROCEDURE
DANGER
Possibility of
Injury
to Personnel
Exposure to energy radiated at microwave frequencies
can cause eye injury and eventual blindness. Do not
operate the system with a waveguide port unterminated.
CAUTION
Possibility of
Service
Interruption
This is an out-of-service procedure when on a nonstandby
(unprotected) system. On a hot-standby or frequency diversity system, switch traffic on the channel under test to protect.
Perform procedure shown on Figure 6-23.
STOP. Initial turnup procedures for DS3 radio are complete.
