2. Introduction Page 14 MF0150A4A.doc Manual for ION-M7P/17EHP/19P 2. Introduction 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 1546 nm – 1550 nm is used. For the DL, a wavelength of 1310 ± 10 nm is used. The maximum output power for the UL and DL is 6.7 mW. 2.2. The ION-M7P/17EHP/19P The ION-M7P/17EHP/19P is a multi-band, multi-operator Remote Unit configuration used in conjunction with a Master Unit in the ION optical distribution system. By supporting the entire AWS-3 spectrum, faster and more reliable wireless service is ensured and network quality can be improved This system transports up to three frequency bands simultaneously (700 MHz, 1700/2100 MHz, 1900 MHz), providing a cost-effective solution for distributing capacity from one or more base stations. The ION system transports signals on the RF layer in a very cost-effective manner enabling multiple operators to use multiple technologies and move their signals simultaneously from a cluster of base station to a number of remote locations over the same fiber. The ION-M optical distribution system is a cost-effective coverage solution for dense urban areas, tunnels, subways, airports, convention centers, high-rise buildings and other locations where physical structures increase path loss. The ION-M7P/17EHP/19P is specifically tested and optimized for LTE, CDMA and WCDMA signals in the 700 MHz, 1900 MHz and 1700/2100 MHz bands. Furthermore it is provisioned for future modulation schemes and communication technologies.
2. Introduction MF0150A4A.doc Manual for ION-M7P/17EHP/19P Page 15 The ION can be easily set-up and supervised from a graphical user interface (GUI). Remote units are commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment. An auto leveling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and quick. The entire system as well as complete network of systems can be managed remotely most efficiently by Commscope`s A.I.M.O.S, which includes alarm monitoring, task automation, statistics, inventory management and ION-M7P/17EHP/19P many more features. Should a sophisticated interface not be required, the Master Unit can be directly connected to the alarm interface of a base station via its contact relay.  Reduced visual impact form factor  Optimized power consumption  Efficient, high power amplifier  Multi-operator support  Complete operations and management system for configuration and alarming  OMC with SNMP according to X.733 standard  Single fiber for multiple bands and multiple remotes  Easy installation and commissioning

Optical-Fiber-Cable Connection - Rules Main optical system parameters: Fiber:  Single mode fiber, type is E9/125 µm  Attenuation: <0.36 dB / km @ 1310 nm / <0.26 dB / km @ 1550 nm  Dispersion: <3.5 ps / nm km @ 1310 nm / <18.0 ps / nm km @ 1550 nm  Fibre-cable connectors E2000 APC 8° ION-M system:  The pigtails for the connection between Master Unit and Remote Unit must have a sufficient length. Protection for the optical fibers must be provided where the fibers feed into the units.  The system attenuation of the optical fibers, including the connectors, must not exceed 10 dB. System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. This can be achieved by measuring attenuation and reflection with an appropriate measuring instrument. For pigtails, a total value of <0.4 dB (measured to a reference plug) can be assumed due to the dead zone of the reflectometer. These measurements must be made with a sufficient length of optical fiber, at the input and output of the device which has to be measured. Fiber-System Installation: Fiber-cable connectors have to be of the same type (E2000 APC 8°) as the connectors used for the unit. The fiber-optic cables are connected to the optical transceiver.  Note: Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors; non-compatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to both connectors.

3. Commissioning MF0150A4A.doc Manual for ION-M7P/17EHP/19P Page 31 Before connecting the fiber cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care:  Remove fiber-optic protective caps.  Do not bend the fiber-optic cable in a tight radius (<4 cm) as this may cause cable damage and interrupt transmission.  Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of the fiber-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor interface box. Use a fiber end-face inspection tool to scan both, the class fiber and its surrounding area.  Check for dirt on the cladding, chips/pits, dirt on the ferrule, and scratches.  Connect the fiber-optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser receptacle and aligning the key (on the cable end) with the keyed slot.  Do not use any index-matching gels or fluids of any kind in these connectors. Gels are intended for laboratory use and attract dirt in the field.  Note: Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fiber-optic cables - use the connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber. Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective caps on fiber-optic connectors not in use. Cleaning Procedure for Fiber-Optical Components: Caution: Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the beam; do not view it directly or with optical instruments. Any impurity in the fiber connection results in additional optical transmission loss which could cause whole system failure. It is thus recommended that every fiber connector be inspected and cleaned prior to mating. When you clean fiber components, always complete the following steps carefully: 1. Turn off the ION system (laser sources) before you inspect fiber connectors. 2. Check the connectors or adapters with a fiberscope before cleaning. 3. If the connector is dirty, clean it with a lint-free wipe (dry cleaning). 4. Inspect the connector. 5. If the connector is still dirty, repeat the dry cleaning technique. 6. Inspect the connector. 7. If the connector is still dirty, clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol (wet cleaning) followed immediately with a dry clean in order to ensure no residue is left on the end face. 8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until end face is clean. Note: For a more detailed description, please refer to: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk876/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtml

4. Alarms and Troubleshooting MF0150A4A.doc Manual for ION-M7P/17EHP/19P Page 43 4. Alarms and Troubleshooting All alarms occurring can be checked via software at the Master Unit to where a message is transmitted when the software acknowledges a valid alarm. A new alarm message will not be repeated if the reason for the alarm is cleared or if the alarm continues. A new alarm message will be generated if the alarm is interrupted for at least five seconds after acknowledgement. Refer to the corresponding software documentation of the Master Unit for details. For local supervision, a status LED on the connector flange of the unit (position see section 3.2.3) gives an indication of possible reasons for alarms. This table shows possible on-site measures that could be checked before referring to the Master Unit alarm list.

Do not touch the unit before it has sufficiently cooled down. Note: The Remote Unit does not require preventative maintenance measures. Note: We recommend checking the cleanliness of the unit and in particular of the heat sink / fan(s) at appropriate intervals depending on the degree of dust and dirt at the installation site. If necessary, any dusty or dirty areas / parts should be cleaned at regular intervals, which also depend on the degree of dust and dirt at the installation site. Maintenance of the ION-M RUs should be performed by replacing only components that are described in this chapter. In order to maintain the warranty, avoid unintentional damage to the seals on the modules. Note: When sending back the unit, use appropriate packaging. Use of the original packaging for shipping the unit is strongly recommended. Note: Defective parts should only be replaced by original parts from the supplier. All service work performed inside the housing is performed at the users own risk. Note: Ensure the Remote Unit has been disconnected from mains power during maintenance. Note: Label any unlabelled cables before disconnecting them to ensure correct reconnection. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by CommScope, CommScope’s general limited product warranty (http://www.commscope.com/Resources/Warranties/) shall be the warranty governing the Remote Units, including the installation, maintenance, usage and operation of the Remote Units. For most maintenance procedures, appropriate tools are required to ensure correct handling. All of these tools can be ordered from the supplier. Note: All Remote Unit screws have a right-hand thread, and are tightened by turning the screws clockwise and loosened by turning them counter-clockwise with an appropriate tool. Due to the design of the Remote Unit, the fan unit is the only component that should be replaced in the field. Please contact the supplier for replacement of any other components.
