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
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.

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.
Page 12
Manual MF0133AUA.doc
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.

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 716 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.

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. Each wire must observe the
applicable national regulations regarding loop impedance, voltage drop,
and methods of installation. Make sure to connect the correct voltage to
the unit.
 Note:
Do not connect or disconnect the power cord at the mains connector
while power is on. Turn off mains * power before connecting the
power cord at the remote unit, then, engage mains again.
* Mains power must be interrupted with an external mains breaker. For the mains
breaker, observe the following recommendation:
120 Volt / 20 Amp max. or 240 Volt / 16 Amp, single-phase, 50 / 60 Hz AC service is
needed, i.e. the external AC breaker should be 20 Amps max. for 120-Volt service or
16 Amps for 240-Volt service.
For the DC power supply, observe the local regulations of the DC service provider.
3.3. COMMISSIONING
Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 as well as the description
carefully to avoid mistakes and proceed step by step as described!

Do not operate the Remote Unit without terminating the antenna connectors.
The antenna connectors may be terminated by connecting them to their

4. ALARMS
4.1.
BITe AND ALARMS
The Built-In Test (BITe) concept comprises the monitoring of the power supplies, the
power amplifiers and the optical interface.
All alarms occurring can be checked via software at the Master Unit.
4.2. HANDLING OF ALARMS
In alarm condition, an alarm message is sent to the Master Controller.
If the reason for the alarm is cleared, the alarm will disappear. Otherwise, i.e. if the
alarm continues, a new alarm message will not be repeated.
A new alarm message will be generated if the alarm is interrupted for at least five
seconds after alarm clearance by the RU.
4.3.
ALARM STATUS
Refer to the corresponding software documentation of the Master Unit for details.
For local supervision, a status LED on the connector flange of the remote unit gives
an indication of possible reasons for alarms. The position of the status LED is
illustrated in chapter 3.2.2 Connections. This table shows possible on-site measures
that could be checked before referring to the master unit alarm list.
