2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 2.1. PURPOSE Cellular telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distribution system. Such a system contains an optical Master Unit and several Remote Units. The number of the Remote Units depends on the hardware and software configuration. The Remote Units are connected to the Master Unit with optical links. The optical loss must be less than 10 dB inclusive optical couplers or splitters. The Master Unit is the connection to the base transceiver stations. The configuration of a Master Unit depends on the number of the Remote Units and the frequency range. WDM (Wave Division Multiplex) filters are integrated in the optical modules. For the UL, a wavelength within 1540 nm – 1562 nm is used. For the DL, a wavelength of 1310 ±20 nm is used. The maximum output power for the UL and DL is 5.7 mW. 2.2. THE ION-M17P/26 EU The ION-M17P/26 EU (Intelligent Optical Network; MMR) is a high-power dual-band Extension Unit (EU). It is used in conjunction with a Master Unit and a Main Unit containing the optical transceiver (OTRx) in the ION-M optical distribution system. This system is able to transport the whole AWS 1700 MHz band wide simultaneously, providing a cost-effective solution for distributing capacity from one or more base stations. Optionally, for 2600 MHz WiMAX in TDD * mode is available. The ION-M17P/26 EU is connected via extension cable bridge to the Main Unit with extension port. For a frequency band extension, the additional band (for ION-M17P EU this is AWS) has just to be combined with the signal for the (Main) Remote Unit. Then, the additional band is available on the extension port of the Main Unit. The ION-M17P/26 EU transports signals on the RF layer in a very inexpensive manner. This means that services from various operators can be transmitted simultaneously from a cluster of base stations to a remote location over the same fibre. Any service or frequency band extension is achieved by adding an Extension Unit (EU) without any impact to the installed network. * TDD is the abbrev. of time-division-duplex
Page 12 Manual MF0133AUA.doc The ION-M17P/26 EU has been specifically tested and optimized for CDMA2000, EV-DO, WCDMA, and UMTS. Furthermore, it is provisioned for future improvements to the modulation (e.g. HSDPA and OFDM) and frequency bands such as WiMAX. The ION is easily set-up and supervised via a graphical user interface (GUI). Extension Units can be commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment with a minimum of commissioning required. The entire system may be monitored remotely via an Andrew OMC. This is a comprehensive management platform with SNMP protocol and X.733 standard implemented. Should a sophisticated interface not be required, the master unit can be directly connected to the alarm interface of a base station via relay alarming.  High-power, multi-operator support  Reduced visual impact form factor  Efficient, high power amplifier  Easy connection to Main Unit via cable bridge  Comprehensive operations and management system for configuration and alarming  OMC with SNMP according to X.733 standard  Easy installation and commissioning 2.3. THE ION-M26 EU (STANDALONE VERSION) - FOR WIMAX The ION-M26 EU is the most efficient solution to upgrade your Fiber-DAS to WiMAX. This upgrade has nearly no impact to your installation and offers the possibility to feed a common distribution or antenna network. As the standard Andrew fiber DAS ION-M is service agnostic which enables a transparent WiMAX TDD transport to 30 MHz adjacent spectrum for the Master Unit to any Remote Unit. Only a single extension box (ION-M26 EU) has to be connected to the Remote-Unit and the system upgrade to WiMAX is established. With this easy upgrade leverages a fast WiMAX rollout especially in those areas where difficult propagation conditions require a DAS solution even for 2G and 3G services. The small extension box ION-M26 EU co-sites to the standard ION-M Remote Unit and needs no separate fiber back haul but a cable bridge to the Remote Unit. At the Master Unit the WiMAX signal is combined with the 2G and 3G signals and transported to the Remote Unit. The Master Unit (MU) contains the interfaces to the BTS and towards the fiber network. The MU also provides the system control functionality with interface for local (web browsing) or remote-control (web browsing and SNMP), and also the backhaul connection towards the OMC (SNMP). The Remote Unit (RU) is connected by a single fiber, converts the optical signal back to RF and holds the antenna ports and extension interface to the Extension-Unit (EU) ION-M26 EU.
The Extension Unit (EU) supports the TDD mechanism for a SISO * channel with multiple carriers up to an instantaneous bandwidth of 30 MHz. The TDD switching information is retrieved for the WiMAX signal by analyzing the associated DL Map in the master unit. For the RU and the attached EU the alarm and control information is exchanged with Master Unit on a sub carrier. At the Master Unit the alarms can be presented to the BTS via alarm contact relays or can be sent to the Andrew OMC.  Efficient, high power amplifier  No additional fiber needed. WiMAX and 2G, 3G signals are transported on the same optical link.  Compliant to 802.16e-2005, 802.16e, and the WiMAX approved Corrigenda, two modifications  SNMP alarming and web-GUI * SISO is the abbrev. of Single Input Single Output

For the according mounting please refer to the mounting plan (drawing) that is part of the delivery. figure 3-1 Wall mounting figure 3-2 Pole mounting V1628M0 V1628M1
3.2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 3.2.1. General Read the health and safety warnings in section 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings. 1. This unit contains dangerous voltages. Loss of life, severe personal injury or property damage can be the result if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed. 2. Ground the unit before connecting power supply. A grounding bolt is provided on the cabinet to connect the ground-bonding cable. 3. Although the Remote Unit is internally protected against over-voltage, it is strongly recommended to earth the antenna cables close to the antenna connectors of the Remote Unit for protection against atmospheric discharge. In areas with strong lightning it is highly recommended to insert additional lightning protection. 4. If the mains connector of the Remote Unit is not easily accessible, a disconnect device in the mains circuit must be provided within easy reach. 5. Before connecting or disconnecting the mains connector at the Remote Unit, ensure that mains supply is disconnected. 6. Make sure that an appropriate circuit breaker and an over-current limiting device are connected between mains and Remote Unit. 7. A connection of mains supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be nearby the Remote Unit. 8. Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components. 9. To avoid corrosion at the connectors caused by electrochemical processes, the material of the cable connectors must not cause a higher potential difference than 0.6 V (see electrochemical contact series). 10. Use an appropriate torque wrench for the coupling torque (25 N-m / 19 ft lb) of 7-16 DIN connectors with 1-1/4 in opening to tighten the 7/16-type antenna connectors. For example, use torque wrench of item no. 244377 available from the Andrew e-catalog. Do NOT use your hands or any other tool (e.g. a pair of pliers)! This might cause damage to the connector and lead to a malfunction of the Remote Unit. 11. Use a voltage limiting device for unstabilized electric networks that frequently generate spikes. 12. The unit complies with the surge requirement according to EN 61000-4-5 (fine protection); however, it is recommended to install an additional medium (via local supply connection) and/or coarse protection (external surge protection), depending on the individual application, in order to avoid damage caused by overcurrent. 13. Observe the labels on the front panels before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Page 16 Manual MF0133AUA.doc

After loosening the hex nut, connect the earth-bonding cable between the two washers as illustrated in the figure above. Then, fasten all parts again with the hex nut. The PE cables must have a minimum cross section of 16 mm2. 3.2.4. Connection to the Main Unit In order to connect the Extension Unit (EU) with the Main Remote Unit (RU), use a cable bridge. Connect this cable bridge at the extension connector of the EU (illustrated in 3.2.2 Connections) with the corresponding connector to EU at the RU. Which connector to EU of the RU is exactly used is described in the corresponding User’s Manual for the RU. 3.2.5. Connection of RF Cables to Combining Unit The remote unit has N-connectors for connection to the Combining Unit. For its location, please refer to chapter 3.2.2 Connections. For mounting the cable connectors, it is recommended to refer to the corresponding documentation of the connector manufacturer. The bending radius of the RF cables must remain within the given specifications. For the selection of cable and antenna it should be considered that, on the one hand, a cable with higher loss is less expensive but, on the other hand, it impairs performance. Use an appropriate torque wrench for the coupling torque of N-type connectors (2 N-m / 20 in lb), with 13/16 in opening to tighten the N-type antenna connectors. For example, use torque wrench of item no. 244379 available from the Andrew e-catalog. Do NOT use your hands or any other tool (e.g. a pair of pliers)! This might cause damage to the connector and lead to a malfunction of the Remote Unit. To minimize passive inter-modulation (PIM) distortion, attention has to be paid to the physical condition of the connector junctions. Do not use connectors that show signs of corrosion on the metal surface. Prevent the ingress of water into the connector. Attach and torque the connectors properly. Page 18 Manual MF0133AUA.doc
3.2.6. Power Connection Before connecting electrical power to the units, the system must be grounded as described in the previous chapter. Mains power must be connected at the mains connector of the unit (see chapter 3.2.2 Connections). The power supply plug is part of the delivery. The correct wiring of the power supply plug is as follows: figure 3-5 AC mains plug figure 3-6 DC mains plug For the AC power supply connection, a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm2 is required, and for the DC power supply connection a minimum cross section of 2.5 mm2 is required.

Maintenance of the ION-Mxxx should be performed on an FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) basis only. Do not damage the warranty labels on the components, as this voids the warranty. The spare parts list contains only units that can be replaced without tuning or soldering work.  Note: When sending back the unit, use an appropriate packaging, see chapter 5.4.4 Environmental and Safety Specifications of ION-M17P/26EU. We strongly recommend using the original packaging!  Note: Defect parts should only be replaced by original parts from the supplier. All interventions inside the housing are at one’s own risk.  Note: During maintenance ensure that the unit has been disconnected from mains.  Note: Before disconnecting any cables, label any unlabelled cables to ensure correct reconnection. To replace an FRU, use the appropriate tools. Replacement tools may be ordered from the supplier. All screws have a right-hand thread, turn the tool clockwise for tightening and counter-clockwise for loosening. Do not over-tighten the connectors or screws. The table below shows various screws with their respective torques.
