DS3 INITIAL TURNUP
6.1
GENERAL
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:
1
Install software on PC (Chart 1).
Software installed at the factory before delivery should not be
overwritten by downloading to the radio controller at initial tur-
nup. Refer to Section 10, Maintenance for procedure to upgrade
existing software.
2
Establish communication between radio and USI computer (Chart 2).
3
Provision radio (Chart 3).
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.
4
Perform applicable test procedures (Chart 4 through Chart 10).
5
Log test results on field test data sheet.
6.3
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 Provision-
ing 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 con-
text-sensitive description of the screens and step-by-step procedures to accomplish
other Provisioning tasks.

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.

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

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
Changes to provisioning do not have to be made in any particu-
lar order.
1
Display Local Provisioning screen (Double click tower icon on Win USI screen).
2
Check factory provisioning and reprovision parameters as necessary for DS3
radio. See Figure 6-4 for sequence.
3
Click on
Prov. Save
on tool bar to store new provisioning information on
controller.
4
STOP. This procedure is complete. Proceed to Chart 4.

TEST PROCEDURES
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.

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
1Verify that carrier frequencies from station license or construction permit
conform to labels on UD-35( ) Transmitter.
2Perform procedure shown on Figure 6-16.

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
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.
1Perform procedure shown on Figure 6-19.
2Disconnect test equipment.

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
STEP PROCEDURE
Exposure to energy radiated at microwave frequencies
can cause eye injury and eventual blindness. Do not
operate the system with a waveguide port unterminated.
This is an out-of-service procedure when on a nonstandby
(unprotected) system. On a hot-standby or frequency diver-
sity system, switch traffic on the channel under test to pro-
tect.
1Perform procedure shown on Figure 6-23.
2STOP. Initial turnup procedures for DS3 radio are complete.
