Introduction 2. Introduction 2.1. Purpose Mobile telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area to carry voice and data traffic. 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 distributed antenna system (DAS). Office buildings, sports arenas, college campuses, industrial parks, and other areas of high demand require the specialized capacity boost that an optical DAS can provide to meet increasing customer demands for voice and data. An optical DAS contains optical Master Units and a sufficient number of Remote Units to provide the necessary coverage. The number of the Remote Units depends on the coverage requirements of the DAS. The Remote Units are connected to the Master Unit with optical links. 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. RF signals are transported to and from the Remote Units via optical fibers. 2.2. ION-U High Power Remote Units The ION-U is an optical fiber based DAS system that efficiently takes the outputs of multiple Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) sectors and converts those RF signals to optical to send them over fiber optic cables to Remote Units to provide coverage in indoor and outdoor locations. The system supports both low power and high power remotes units and SISO and MIMO operation. The ION-U H 7P/80-85P/17P/19P is a multi-band, multi-operator Remote Unit used in conjunction with a Master Unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports up to five frequency bands simultaneously (700 MHz, 800/850 MHz, 1700/2100 MHz, and 1900 MHz), providing a cost-effective solution for distributing capacity from one or more base stations. It has been specifically tested and optimized for GMSK, EDGE, CDMA, UMTS, HSPA+, LTE, and other OFDM modulations. Furthermore it is provisioned for future modulation scheme evolutions. These Remote Units feature independent downlink and uplink gain adjustments and an integrated channel power detector for in-band spectrum and PIM analysis and end-to-end auto leveling.

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 for optimal performance. Up to 20 dB optical loss can be compensated by the system, but with impact on the performance. 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 (LC/APC8°) as the connectors used for the unit. The fiber-optic cables are connected to the optical transceiver. Notice: Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors; noncompatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to both connectors. 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: Ø Remove fiber-optic protective caps. Ø Do not bend the fiber-optic cable in a tight radius (<4 cm) as this may cause cable damage and interrupt transmission. Ø 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. Ø Check for dirt on the cladding, chips/pits, dirt on the ferrule, and scratches. M0200A8C_uc_ION-U_H_7P_80-85P_17P_19P User’s Manual for ION®-U Page 39 4. Commissioning Ø 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. Ø 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. Notice: 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: Any contamination 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. The goal is to eliminate any dust or contamination and to provide a clean environment for the fiber-optic connection. When you clean fiber components, always complete the following steps carefully: Caution: Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the beam; do not view it directly or with optical instruments. 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.

Alarms 5. Alarms 5.1. Bite and Alarms The Built-In Test concept comprises the monitoring of the power supplies, the power amplifiers, fan units and the optical interface. All occurring alarms can be checked via software at the Master Unit. As soon as the software acknowledges a valid alarm, a message is transmitted to the Master Unit. If the reason for the alarm has been cleared or if the alarm should continue, a new alarm message will not be repeated. If there was an interruption of at least five seconds after acknowledgement, a new alarm message will be generated. 5.2. Troubleshooting The status of the Remote Unit can be checked via the Master Unit (for details please refer to the ION-U Site Manager software manual). Locally, the status can be checked at the LED. 5.3. Status LED Alarms For local supervision, a status LED on the connector flange of the Remote Unit provides a visual indication of possible reasons for alarms. The color of the LED indicates the severity of the alarm. Detailed alarm information is available through the ION-U software interface. Status LED Indication Alarms Green No alarm à Status ok Orange Optical alarm Rx Red Hardware failure Status LED off Mains Page 48 Possible on-site measures Check fiber loss of optical link.

External Alarm Inputs and Outputs The eight-pin EXT ALARM IN/OUT connector supports two external alarm inputs and two external alarm outputs. Chapter 4.3.8 External alarm In / Out port includes the connector’s pin-out information and chapter 4.3.3 Connections identifies the connector’s location. The alarm outputs are realized with relays (switching capacity max. 60 VDC, max. 2 A, max 60 W). They can be used to monitor alarms with an external alarm indicator. F Note: The manufacturer / supplier of this system accepts no liability for damage caused by equipment connected to external outputs or by effects from such equipment. With the external alarm inputs, it is possible to monitor the status of connected devices, e.g. a UPS, via software. All alarm inputs are normally high (5 V) without connection. The polarity (high/ low) can be set via the software at the Master Unit (for details please see the appropriate ION-U software manual). The device to be monitored must be connected so that the alarm contacts will be closed in case of an alarm (I max = 5 mA). The alarm inputs are potential-free with common ground (earth). Subminiature circular connectors series 712 with eight contacts, which are included in the alarm kit, can be ordered directly from the Binder Connector Group, the manufacturer, or indirectly from CommScope.
