Health and Safety Operator Health and Safety The following table describes the precautions that relate to installing or working on the Eclipse radio. Topic Information Equipment Protrusions The equipment has been designed to be free of unnecessary protrusions or sharp surfaces that may catch or otherwise cause injury during handling. However, always take care when working on or around the equipment. Laser and Fiber Optic Cable Hazards Eclipse fiber optic transmitters are IEC60825-1 / 21CFR1040-1 Class I compliant and present no danger to personnel in normal use. However: Do not look into active unterminated optical ports or fibers. If visual inspection is required ensure the equipment is turned off or, if a fiber cable, disconnect the far end. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using an optical test set. Incorrect calibration or control settings could result in hazardous levels of radiation. Protect/cover unconnected optical fiber connectors with dust caps. Place all optical fiber cuttings in a suitable container for safe disposal. Bare fibers and fiber scraps can easily penetrate the skin and eyes. Lifting Equipment Be careful when hoisting or lifting the antenna during installation or maintenance. Antennas with their mounting hardware can weigh in excess of 100 kg (220 lb) and require specialized lifting equipment and an operator trained and certified in its use. Protection from RF Exposure: Eclipse The Eclipse radio does not generate RF fields intense enough to cause RF burns. However, when installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna always comply with the Protection from RF Exposure guidelines. See RF Exposure. Safety Warnings When a practice or procedure poses implied or potential harm to the user or to the radio equipment, a warning is included in this manual. 2-2 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual General Hazards The following table describes the general hazards that must be addressed when planning and installing an Eclipse system. For more information on health and safety when using Aviat Networks products, refer to Aviat Networks’ Best Practices Guide. Topic Information Airflow Requirements Rack installations must be made so the airflow required for safe and correct operation of Eclipse is not compromised. For the fan-cooled Eclipse INUs and fan-cooled Eclipse IDUs, unobstructed air passage must be maintained to each side of the chassis, which requires a minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) of side spacing to any rack panels, cable bundles or similar. Where a Fan Air Filter is installed in an INU it must not be allowed to become clogged with dust. Replace when necessary.Inspection must be at not more than 12 monthly intervals when installed in telecommunications equipment room controlled-air environments. Otherwise, inspection is required at more frequent intervals. EMC Eclipse has been tested for and meets EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. The equipment was tested using screened cable; if any other type of cable is used, it may violate compliance. Eclipse is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. This equipment is intended to be used exclusively in telecommunications centers. ESD ESD (electrostatic discharge) can damage electronic components. Even if components remain functional, ESD can cause latent damage that results in premature failure. Always wear proper ESD grounding straps when changing or handling the plug-in cards and avoid hand contact with the PCB back-plane and top-plane. Connect your ESD grounding strap to the combined ESD and ground connector on the INU rack ear. Spare plug-in cards or cards to be returned for service must be enclosed in an anti-static bag. When removing a card from the anti-static bag for installation in an INU, or placing a card in a bag, do so at the INU and only when connected to the INU via your ESD grounding strap. Circuit Overloading When connecting the Eclipse, determine the effect this will have on the power supply circuit protection devices, and supply wiring. Check Eclipse power consumption specifications and the supply capability of the power supply system. This check of capacity must extend to the dc power supply and not just to an intermediate connection point. Eclipse Indoor Unit and DC Supply Grounding The ground for Eclipse indoor unit(s) must be connected directly to the dc supply system ground conductor, or to a bonding jumper from a grounding terminal bar, or bus to which the dc supply system grounding is connected. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 2-3 Chapter 2. Health and Safety Topic Information Intrabuilding interfaces and cabling for NEBS compliance Intrabuilding connections to/from Eclipse ports must only be connected via intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling. Intrabuilding ports MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring. Shielded and grounded cables must be used for intrabuilding cabling to/from Eclipse ports. Cables must be grounded at both ends. Protection from RF Exposure When installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna always comply with the following: • Locate the antenna such that it does not infringe the RF exposure guidelines for general public. Refer to RF Exposure. • Do not stand in front of or look into an antenna without first ensuring the associated transmitter or transmitters are switched off. • At a multi-antenna site ask the site owner or operator for details of other radio services active at the site and for their requirements/recommendations for protection against potentially harmful exposure to RF radiation. • When it is not possible to switch transmitters off at a multi-antenna site and there is potential for exposure to harmful levels of RF radiation, wear a protective suit. • Do not look into a waveguide port when the radio is active. Fiber Optic Cables Handle optical fibers with care. Keep them in a safe and secure location during installation. Do not attempt to bend them beyond their minimum bend radius. Protect/cover unconnected optical fiber connectors with dust caps. Ground Connections There must be no switching or disconnecting devices fitted in ground conductors. Mains Power Supply Routing Eclipse dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to be routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept away from any power lines which cross them. Maximum Ambient Temperature The maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) for an Eclipse indoor unit is +45° C (113° F). To ensure correct operation and to maximize long term component reliability, ambient temperatures must not be exceeded. Operational specification compliance is not guaranteed for higher ambients. Mechanical Loading When installing an indoor unit in a rack, ensure the rack is securely anchored. Ensure that the additional loading of an Eclipse indoor unit or units will not cause any reduction in the mechanical stability of the rack. 2-4 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Topic Information Power Supply Connection The Eclipse INUs have the +ve pin on their dc power supply connector connected to chassis ground. It must be used with a -48 Vdc power supply which has a +ve ground; the power supply ground conductor is the +ve supply to the radio. For NEBS compliance the battery return connection is to be treated as a common DC return (DC-C), as defined in GR-1089-CORE. • There must be no switching or disconnecting devices in this ground conductor between the dc power supply and the point of connection to an Eclipse system. The Eclipse High Power IRU 600 supports wide-mouth +/-21 to +/-60 Vdc operation. Both pins on its power supply connector are isolated from chassis ground. For NEBS compliance the battery return connection is to be treated as an isolated DC return (DC-I), as defined in GR-1089-CORE. The power supply for an Eclipse system must be located in the same premises as the Eclipse system. Power Supply Disconnect An appropriate power supply disconnect device should be provided as part of the building installation. Rack Mount Temperature Considerations If the Eclipse indoor unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. The maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) of +45° Celsius (113° F) applies to the immediate operating environment of the Eclipse indoor unit, which, if installed in a rack, is the ambient within the rack. Restricted Access The Eclipse system must be installed in restricted access sites. The indoor unit and associated power supply must be installed in restricted areas, such as dedicated equipment rooms, closets, cabinets, or the like. Access to the tower and antenna location must be restricted Note: For USA: In restricted access areas install the Eclipse system in accordance with articles 110-26 and 110-27 of the 2002 National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or to any subsequent update to this code for the relevant articles. RF Exposure To ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum distance of 20 meters must be maintained between the antenna and any persons whilst the unit is operational. This calculation is based on the maximum conducted power and maximum antenna gain. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 2-5 Chapter 2. Health and Safety • Eclipse with IRU600, 5.8 GHz, has been tested and certified for use with a parabolic antenna with a maximum gain of 45.4 dBi or a flat panel antenna with a maximum gain of 28 dBi. Higher gain antennas must not be used. • The maximum transmit output power on the IRU 600 has been limited to a maximum of 1W (30dBm) at the antenna port, to comply with the conducted power limit in FCC CFR 47, Part 15.247. Routine Inspection and Maintenance This section overviews required and recommended inspection and maintenance practices to ensure health and safety of installed equipment is maintained to highest levels. For more information, refer to the Aviat publication: Best Practices. Routine Inspections All sites must be inspected annually, or more frequently if subject to abnormal operating conditions such as particularly exposed sites, or sites subject to salt-spray or heavy snow/ice loading over winter months. The inspection should cover the physical installation including the antenna, waveguide, equipment grounding, tower and building grounds, weatherproofing, and general site integrity. Where a Fan Air Filter is installed in an INU (for NEBS compliance) it must be inspected annually, or more frequently if the INU is installed in an environment that is nor controlled for dust exclusion. Selected ground wires should be resistance checked and then compared with previous checks to ensure there has been no significant change. The operational performance of the radio and associated equipment should be checked against their as-built figures. Trend Analysis Use available current and historical Eclipse alarm and performance data to determine any trend that may lead to a failure - if allowed to continue. Check for the following trends: • Reducing receive signal levels • Gradually increasing bit errors or an increasing errored seconds count • Changes in transmit power • Increasing occurrence of other weather related changes in performance • Increasing occurrence of a particular hardware failure 2-6 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Time spent in conducting such analysis is time well spent. Catching a problem before it brings down the network is good network management. Fault Analysis All faults, once cleared, should be the subject of a fault report. The data presented in these reports should be analyzed from time to time to check for any common threads, which may point to a particular weakness in the design, installation, or maintenance of the network or to a specific component. The time taken to restore service and the parts used should also be analyzed to see if improvements are possible in the maintenance procedures, maintenance training and spares holdings. Training Properly trained and experienced planning and installation personnel are essential for establishing and maintaining high integrity in a new network. Similarly, properly trained network management and service personnel are essential for the continued good health of a network. The training needs for personnel should be reviewed from time-to-time to ensure they maintain expertise in their area of work, and on the installed base. Spares Spares holdings should be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure the correct quantity and type are held, and held at the most appropriate locations. Analysis of spares usage will show any trend for excessive use of spares, which may point to a weakness in the deployment or manufacture of the item. Spares holdings should also be checked from time to time and if necessary brought up to the current hardware and/or software revision level. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 2-7 Chapter 2.

INU The INU requires one NCC and one FAN, and has provision for up to four option plug-ins. It supports a maximum of three RFUs for three non-protected links, or one protected/diversity link and one non-protected link. Each RFU is supported by a RAC via a single coax cable. Figure 3-1. INU 3-2 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual INUe The INUe requires one NCC and one 2RU FAN. It has provision for up to ten option cards and supports a maximum of five RFUs for five non-protected links, or two protected/diversity links plus one non-protected link. Figure 3-2. INUe Plug-in Cards Plug-in cards for the INU or INUe enable quick and easy customization on Eclipse configurations. All cards are hot-pluggable. • RACs support the radio modem function. In the transmit direction they take the digital traffic from the backplane or data packet plane and convert it to an IF signal for connection to an IRU600. The reverse occurs in the receive direction. • One RAC with one 1+0 IRU 600 is used for a 1+0 link. • Two RACs with one 1+1 IRU 600 are used for 1+1 or diversity links. • RACs control TX switching and RX voting on protected / diversity links. • XPIC (cross polarization interference cancellation) RACs support CCDP (co-channel dual polarization) operation. • DACs support the user interface. They take the user traffic and convert it into a format compatible with the data backplane, where it cross-connects to a RAC or RACs, or to other DACs. • Different DACs support DS1, DS3, OC3, and Ethernet connections. • Multiplexer DACs support transport of OC3 or DS3 with NxDS1 rates. • Ethernet DACs support a L2 switch function. The GigE DAC GE supports advanced ring/mesh, link aggregation and VLAN tagging options. • Most DACs can be protected using a stacked (paired) configuration. • DS1, DS3, and OC3 DACs support Ethernet-over-TDM options to enable Ethernet transport over legacy TDM radio or leased-line links. • AUX (Auxiliary card) supports async or sync service-channel connections, and alarm I/O options for connection to external devices. • NCC (Node Controller Card) provides the node management and DC voltage conversion functions. The NCC is a mandatory card. • It manages Eclipse operation and event collection and management. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 3-3 Chapter 3. System Overview • It incorporates a router function for local and remote network management interconnection. • Eclipse configuration and licensing data is held in flash-memory. • Required power supply is -48 Vdc (-40.5 to -60 Vdc). • FAN (Fan card) provides forced-air cooling. This is a mandatory card. • NPC (Node Protection Card) provides 1+1 protection functions for the NCC power supply and backplane management. • PCC (Power Conversion Card) supports operation from a a +24 Vdc power supply. Plug-in Cards Overview RAC 60 RAC 60 supports DPP (Data Packet Plane) as well as backplane data connections, plus ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation) options. Four dynamically switched modulation rates are available; QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM, 256 QAM. Modulation switching is errorless for priority traffic. Coding options additionally provide selection of two modulation states, one for maximum throughput, the other for maximum gain. These apply on each of the modulation rates of QPSK to 256 QAM to provide an effective total of eight modulation states. • Maximum throughput delivers maximum data throughput - at the expense of some system gain. • Maximum gain delivers best system gain - at the expense of some throughput. • Up to four of the eight modulation states offered with ACM can be selected for use. A DPP port enables direct routing of Ethernet traffic to a DAC GE. Individual ACM modulation rates can be set as fixed rates. These are complemented by fixed rates for TDM (DS1, DS3, OC3) capacities. Channel bandwidths range from 3.5 to 30 MHz. Air-link capacities for Ethernet, or for Ethernet + DS1, extend to 189 Mbit/s. Backplane-connected TDM options extend to 100xDS1, 3xDS3, 1xOC3. Payload encryption is a licensed option. RAC 60s must be used at both ends of a link, or RAC 60 with a RAC 6X in non-CCDP mode. Figure 3-3. RAC 60 3-4 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual RAC 6X RAC 6X adds CCDP operation to RAC 60 capabilities. Two RAC 6X cards are operated as a CCDP pair, either in the same INU, or in separate co-located INUs to provide double the capacity over one channel using both the horizontal and vertical polarizations. An XPIC function between the RACs ensures cross-polarization interference is eliminated. Figure 3-4. RAC 6X DAC GE DAC GE interfaces three 10/100/1000Base-T electrical ports and one 1000Base-LX optical port, to one or two transport channels. Features include: • Advanced QoS settings. • Transparent, VLAN and mixed modes of operation. • Enhanced, fast-switched RSTP. • Layer 1 or Layer 2 link aggregation. • VLAN tagging. • DPP and backplane traffic connections. • Inter-frame gap (IFG) and preamble stripping and re-insertion. • Frame sizes to 9600 bytes. • Assignment to radio or fiber links. • SFP optical port options for 1310nm single or multi-mode, or 850nm multi-mode. • Compatibility with DAC ES. Figure 3-5. DAC GE For DPP traffic a DAC GE must be operated with a RAC 60 or RAC 6X. DAC ES DAC ES interfaces four 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports to one or two radio and/or fiber transport channels. Features include: • Advanced QoS settings. • Transparent, VLAN and mixed modes of operation. • Throughputs to 100 Mbit/s per transport channel. • Assignment to radio or fiber links. • Inter-frame gap (IFG) and preamble stripping and re-insertion. • Compatibility with DAC GE. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 3-5 Chapter 3. System Overview Figure 3-6. DAC ES DAC 16X DAC 16x supports 16xDS1 tributaries on Mini RJ-21 connectors. Figure 3-7. DAC 16x DAC 4X DAC 4x supports 4xDS1 tributaries on individual RJ-45 connectors. Figure 3-8. DAC 4X DAC 3xDS3 DAC 3xDS3 supports 3xDS3 tributaries on paired mini-BNC connectors. Figure 3-9. DAC 3xDS3 DAC 3xDS3M DAC 3xDS3M supports three operational modes: • Normal DS3 tributary operation (as for DAC 3xDS3) • M13 multiplexer mode. One or two DS3 interfaces are multiplexed to an NxDS1 backplane. • DS3 Ethernet mode to enable up to 43 Mbit/s Ethernet over legacy TDM radio or leased-line links (links must support transparent DS3). Tribs are supported on paired mini-BNC connectors. Figure 3-10. DAC 3xDS3M DAC 2x155e DAC 2x155e supports two STS3 electrical tributaries on paired BNC connectors. Figure 3-11. DAC 2x155e 3-6 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual DAC 1x155o DAC 1x155o supports one OC3 single-mode optical tributary on SC connectors. Figure 3-12. DAC 1x155o DAC 2x155o DAC 2x155o supports two OC3 single-mode optical tributaries on SC connectors. Figure 3-13. DAC 2x155o DAC 155oM DAC 155oM multiplexes an OC3 optical tributary to an NxDS1 backplane. The user interface is provided on an SFP optical transceiver. Different SFPs support 1310nm single or multi-mode, or 850nm multi-mode. It functions as a terminal multiplexer; it terminates or originates the OC3 frame. It does not support interconnection of ADMs as there is no provision to transport OC3 overheads for ADM to ADM synchronization. In virtual tributary mode it transports up to 130 Mbit/s Ethernet over an OC3 link. Options are provided for external/recovered, or internal clock sourcing. Figure 3-14. DAC 155oM AUX AUX provides synchronous and/or asynchronous auxiliary data channels, NMS porting, and alarm input and output functions. Data options are sync at 64 kbps or async to 19.2 kbps. Figure 3-15. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 3-7 Chapter 3. System Overview NCC The NCC is a mandatory plug-in for an INU/INUe. It performs key node management and control functions, and provides various dc rails from the -48 Vdc input. It also incorporates a plug-in flash card, which holds Node configuration and license data. Power input limits are -40.5 to -60 Vdc. The power connector is a D-Sub M/F 2W2. The +ve dc return pin is connected to chassis ground. Figure 3-16. NCC FAN The FAN is a mandatory plug-in. There are two variants, 2RU and 1RU. Each is fitted with two long-life axial fans plus monitoring and control circuits. • One 1RU FAN is fitted in an INU. • One 2RU FAN is fitted in the INUe. Figure 3-17. FAN (1RU) NPC NPC provides redundancy for the NCC TDM bus management and power supply functions. Figure 3-18. NPC PCC The PCC provides a voltage conversion function for locations where the power supply is +24 Vdc. It converts + 24 (19 to 36) Vdc to -56 Vdc for connection to the INU -48Vdc input. -56 Vdc represents the typical float voltage for a battery-backed -48 Vdc supply. One PCC supports a maximum three IRU 600 RFUs, plus any combination of RACs and DACs. Figure 3-19. PCC 3-8 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Eclipse IRU 600 The IRU 600 is a 3RU rack-mounted transceiver unit for co-location with an INU/ INUe as an all-indoor installation. IRU 600 is 1+1 optimized with provision for two RFUs (Radio Frequency Unit) and a companion filter-based ACU (Antenna Coupler Unit). Transmit power output is limited to a maximum 29.5 dBm at the antenna port to ensure compliance witt the conducted power limit (1W, 30 dBm) in FCC CFR 47, Part 15.247. The ACU design incorporates an optional expansion port to allow other radio links onto its waveguide feed for co-path operation. The IRU 600 also supports 1+0 repeater (back-to-back) operation. The links may be in the same or different bands. Protected/diversity options include: • 1+1 hot-standby, single antenna, with equal or unequal split. • 1+0 hot-standby-ready. • Space diversity (dual antennas) with common or split Tx. IRU 600 and IRU 600v2 IRU 600v2 incorporates a transmit coaxial RF switch in place of the Tx coupler used with IRU 600 (V1) for 1+1 hot standby and space diversity applications. The changes include a new RFU (RFUv2). IRU 600v2 also adds a transmit monitoring port. V2 operation requires SW release 6.02 or later. Tx Coaxial Switch: IRU 600v2 Primary benefits of the Tx coaxial switch are reduced power loss and faster Tx protection switch times. • It avoids the losses associated with a Tx coupler/combiner. • With the Tx coaxial switch (relay) there is no A-side versus B-side consideration required as the loss is not more than 0.5 dB on both. • Average recovery times of 50 ms compared to times approaching 200 ms for the Tx-mute/unmute operation of the coupler-based (IRU 600 V1) solution. • Times apply to full MHSB operation (standby Tx on), and muted standby Tx mode (standby Tx on Tx mute). The standby Tx is terminated into a dummy load via the Tx switch. MHSB mode increases power consumption as both transmitters are fully active - both online and offline Tx status is captured in real time. Where lower power consumption is the priority, an option is provided to mute the offline Tx. For power consumption data See INU Power Supply on page 1. • With MHSB operation both A-side and B-side transmit are fully monitored. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 3-9 Chapter 3. System Overview • With a Tx mute configured on the offline Tx, its Tx status cannot be monitored. A solution to guard against this leading to a possible unreported standby Tx failure situation will be available in a latter SW release. This will enable periodic activation of the standby Tx for health monitoring purposes - it will be turned on, checked and turned off again. RFU and RFUv2 IRU 600v2 RFUs (RFUv2) incorporate a Tx switch control port (DIN5 connector) for cable connection to the Tx coaxial switch. • Switch-port cables (two) are included with the Tx switch on IRU 600v2 MHSB/SD ACUs. • The DIN5 switch connector is located where the RSSI BNC connector was positioned on the RFU (V1). • On the RFUv2, RSSI access is provided on the front panel as meter test-probe points. IRU 600 and IRU 600v2 Compatibility Chassis dimensions and mounting points are identical. RFU (V1) can be installed in an IRU 600v2, and an RFUv2 can be installed in an IRU 600 (V1). Similarly, the installation space for ACU elements is identical. Both IRUs are fully over-air compatible with like-for-like configurations. For example, a 1+1 HSB IRU 600 (V1) may be linked to a MHSB IRU 600v2. The RFUv2 is backward compatible with RFU (V1) in configurations supported by the IRU 600 (V1). RFU (V1) is not compatible with RFUv2 in an IRU 600v2 except for 1+0 operation. • RFUv2 can be used in place of an RFU (V1) in an IRU 600 (V1) configured for 1+0 or 1+1 operation. • RFU (V1) can be used to replace an RFUv2 in an IRU 600v2 for 1+0 link applications only. RFU V1 cannot control the Tx coaxial switch. Both IRU 600 V2 and V1 versions are compatible within a chassis and within a hub. There is one exception. Because the unit may not be set to a monitored hot stand by configuration in combination with a V2 RFU. The combination of V2 and V1 RFUs only works in a non-hot standby configuration. Power Supply and Cooling The high power RFUs are powed from the INU/INUe, and additionally via a separate DC input on the RFU front panel. For more information see Power Supply. Each RFU is fitted with two intelligent FAN units. Under normal ambient conditions one FAN is powered on, and operation is cycled between them. If a temperature threshold is exceeded, both FANs are powered on. 3-10 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual If one of the two FANs becomes faulty (FAN Fault alarm), always replace both FANs. IRU 600 replacement FANs are supplied in a kit of two FANs. Tx Monitoring Port IRU 600v2 Tx filters incorporate a Tx monitoring port (SMA connector) to provide a 30 dB attenuated (nominal) sample for test and measurement purposes. A label on the ACU shows the ex-factory insertion loss of the port. 5.8 GHz Unlicensed Band The RFU for the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band is common to L6 licensed for easy transition and sparing (from unlicensed to licensed and vice-versa). Links can be rapidly deployed using 5.8 GHz unlicensed, and subsequently transitioned to L6 on license approval. The 5.8 GHz unlicensed band is designed to support easy and fast deployment. With a suitable antenna, installation can be 'immediate'. The common 5.8 GHz / L6 RFU design means subsequent conversion to L6 licensed operation only requires replacement of the ACU. 5.8 GHz operation supports fast turn-up for new link requirements. On receipt of a license, operation can be converted to L6 licensed band by replacing the ACU. Eclipse IDUs and INUs with IRU 600 are compliant with FCC CFR47, Part 15.247, and Industry Canada RSS-210 Annex 8, on ISM frequency band 5725 to 5850 MHz. International use is not supported; the system does not employ DFS and as such cannot be deployed within Europe or any country where DFS is a regulatory requirement for protection of radars. Features and Capabilities: • ACU filters are tuned 30 MHz wide. • Filters are spot tuned (pre-tuned) on 5740.5/5805.5 MHz or 5769.5/5834.5 MHz. • With 30 MHz filters just two Tx/Rx pairs can be used to provide full coverage of the band. • Bandwidths 5, 10, 20, or 30 MHz. • Tx and Rx can be paired on different sub-bands (Tx on one 30 MHz sub-band, RX on the other). • Adaptive or fixed modulation options. • Supports Ethernet and/or NxDS1 payloads, with air-link capacities to 189 Mbit/s (30 MHz Ch BW). 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 3-11 Chapter 3. System Overview • Common 5.8 GHz and L6 RFU supports easy migration from one band to the other (from unlicensed to licensed and vice-versa). • RFUs can be retained during migration, but ACU must be replaced (not retuned). • Extensive protection and diversity options. • Output power (at 5.8 GHz) is limited to 29 dBm at the antenna port for IRU 600, and 29.5 dBm for IRU 600v2. This is to ensure compliance with the FCC 1 Watt rule. • For Tx power and system gain figures, see the Eclipse Packet Node ANSI Datasheet. Operational Limitations and Restrictions Unlicensed band operation means sharing the air-space with other operators of unlicensed band links. Interference is possible. IRU 600 5.8 GHz operation is 'narrow-band'; it competes/shares spectrum with other narrow-band links and with spread-spectrum links. Performance could deteriorate over time with the introduction of other links in the same geographical area. Antennas must be approved (FCC or Industry Canada) for 5.8 GHz unlicensed band. Platform Layout Eclipse supports flexible customization of traffic type, traffic capacity, and traffic protection.

System Overview 1. Internal (backplane bus) NMS access is only provided on slots 1 to 6. Do not install DAC 155oM or AUX in slots 7 to 9 if an NMS connection is required in their configuration. Data is transported natively over an Eclipse wireless link, whether Ethernet or TDM. 3-14 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Protection Options Eclipse supports link, interface, network, and platform protection options: Link/Path Protection Hot-standby, space diversity, frequency diversity, or dual protection options are available. RACs and their companion IRU 600 are protectable. Rx voting is hitless/errorless; Tx switching is not hitless. The maximum restoration time for a Tx switch is 200 ms. A remote Tx switch is forced in the event of a silent Tx failure. Interface Protection DS1, DS3 and OC3 interfaces can be hot-standby protected using paired (stacked) DACs. The protectable DACs are DAC 16x V2, DAC 3xDS3, DAC 3xDS3M, DAC 2x155o, DAC 2x155e, DAC 155oM. When a switch occurs, all Tx and/or Rx tributaries are switched to the protection partner. Two protection configurations are supported, tributary protection, and always-on: Tributary Protection • Y cables connect the paired DACs to customer equipment. • In the Rx direction (from the customer) both DACs receive data, but only the online Rx DAC sends this data to the TDM bus. • In the Tx direction, the online Tx DAC sends data to customer equipment, the other mutes its Tx line interface. Tributary Always-On • Separate cables connect each DAC to customer equipment. • In the Rx direction (from the customer) both DACs receive data, but only the online Rx DAC sends this data to the TDM bus. In the transmit direction both DACs send data to customer equipment, and the customer equipment switches between these two always-on tributaries. Protection switching is not hitless. The maximum restoration time for a Tx or Rx trib switch is 200 ms. Typical restoration times are between 80 ms and 120 ms. Network/Data Protection • RWPRTM supports fast-switched RSTP on Ethernet ring and mesh networks. • Data redundancy is supported on Ethernet link-aggregated links. • Super PDH ring operation supports protection on NxDS1 ring links. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 3-15 Chapter 3. System Overview Ring and Mesh Networks RWPRTM (Resilient Wireless Packet Ring) is a fast-switched RSTP link management protocol for layer 2 switches. RSTP, itself a fast switched evolution of the original STP, prevents live network loops and provides path redundancy where two or more paths exist between network nodes. • RWPR represents a particularly effective enhanced RSTP protocol. When configured in Eclipse ring networks, reconvergence times are as low as 50 mS. Link Aggregation 2+0 Protection Traffic redundancy is supported on co-channel Ethernet links using link aggregation. If one link fails, then its traffic is recovered on the remaining link or links is shared. While the reduced bandwidth may result in some traffic loss for low-priority traffic, appropriate QoS settings should ensure security for all higher priority traffic. This is often referred to as 2+0 protection. Super PDH Super PDHTM is exclusive to the Eclipse. It supports protected PDH ring configurations for capacities to 84xDS1, with traffic switching at the node level. A ring (closed loop) is formed by east/west facing RAC and RFU combinations from an Eclipse node; each node is connected to two adjacent nodes, the east and west nodes. Within the ring there are two traffic rings, one nominated as clockwise, the other anti-clockwise. Under normal no-fault conditions, all traffic is passed on the clockwise primary ring. When a fault occurs, the secondary, anti-clockwise ring, provides the protection capacity needed. Traffic is looped onto the secondary ring at one side of the break point, and off at the other side, to bypass the break. This process is called wrapping. One or more radio paths can be replaced by a fiber span using the DAC 155oM. Platform Protection Platform management functions provided by the NCC are protected using the NPC option to protect essential Backplane Bus and power supply functions. Bus Protection • Protects all circuit/tributary traffic. Alarm I/O is not protected. • Switching is not hitless for an NCC bus clock failure; restoration is within 200 ms, during which time all traffic on the NTU is affected. • When the bus clock has switched to NPC control, it will not automatically revert to NCC control on restoration of the NCC. Return to NCC control requires either withdrawal/failure of the NPC, or use of diagnostic commands. 3-16 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Power Supply Protection • Protection is hitless for an NCC power supply failure. If the NCC converter or one of its supply rails fails, the NPC will take over without interruption. And vice versa. • With an NPC installed, the NCC can be withdrawn and replaced without further impacting traffic. • For 24 Vdc operation two PCCs are required for platform protection, one each for the NCC and NPC. Eclipse Licensing Eclipse is subject to capacity and feature licensing. Feature Licensing applies on selected features. Features available include: • EZF-01: Layer 1 Link Aggregation (DAC GE). Traffic is between the links on a byte-by-byte basis, based on the capacity of the links. Unlike L2, it is fully effective for just one active session, such as between routers, or where there are only a few concurrent sessions. • EZF-02: Adaptive Modulation. Eclipse adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) dynamically switches between QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM, or 256 QAM. Code settings additionally provide two sets of rates for each modulation; one for maximum-throughput, the other for maximum-gain, to provide eight modulation states in total. • EZF-03: Secure Management (NMS). Applies to Eclipse NMS access over the network, and to local access via the Portal craft tool. It also enables secure management access to Eclipse over an unsecured network, and protects Eclipse configurations from accidental or intentional modification by unauthorized personnel. • EZF-04: Payload Encryption. Encrypts all traffic and management data over the wireless link to prevent eavesdropping. • EZF-05: Ethernet over TDM (DS3, DS1). Enables mapping of Ethernet data to DS3, or DS1 PDH interfaces using the DAC 3xDS3M or DAC 16xV2. Supports transport of Ethernet data over existing DS3 or NxDS1 radio or leased-line circuits. • EZF-06: RADIUS Client. Enables connection validation to a radius server for centralized account management. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 3-17 Chapter 3. System Overview Configuration and Management Eclipse is a software-driven product; there are no manual controls. Configuration and management is achieved via Portal and ProVision. • Portal is a PC based configuration and diagnostics tool for Eclipse. • ProVision is the Eclipse network element manager. ProVision also supports other Aviat products, including legacy products. Portal is supported in the Eclipse system software, such that once installed on a PC, it automatically downloads support from the radio as needed to ensure Portal always matches the version of system software supplied, or subsequently downloaded in any radio upgrade. Portal has the look and feel of a Windows environment with screen-based views and prompts for all configuration and diagnostic attributes. A Portal PC connects to an INU/INUe/IDU using Ethernet or V.24 options. For more information, refer to the Eclipse Configuration Guide. ProVision is the network element manager for all Aviat radios (current and legacy). ProVision also supports partner products, including multiplexors, switches, routers, and power systems. ProVision is installed on a Windows or Solaris server, typically at a network operating center, and communicates with network elements using standard LAN/WAN IP addressing and routing; each radio has its own unique IP address. For more information, refer to the Aviat ProVision User Guide. Eclipse Antennas Antennas for the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band must be FCC approved. • Parabolic antennas must have a maximum gain not exceeding 45.4 dBi. • Flat panel antennas must have a maximum gain not exceeding 28 dBi. For information on antenna types and availability, contact Aviat Networks or your supplier. Antenna mounts are designed for use on industry-standard 115 mm OD (4.5 inch) pipe-mounts. For information on installing and aligning antennas, refer to the data supplied with the antennas. 3-18 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Eclipse Power Supply Eclipse is designed to operate from a -48 Vdc power supply (+ve earth) but will operate to specification over a voltage range of -40.5 to -60 Vdc. A plug-in PCC option provides a voltage conversion function for locations where the power supply is +24 Vdc. It converts + 24 (19 to 36) Vdc to -56 Vdc for connection to the INU -48Vdc input. -56 Vdc represents the typical float voltage for a battery-backed -48 Vdc supply. One PCC supports a maximum three IRU 600 RFUs, plus any combination of RACs and DACs. The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) output (60 Vdc maximum limited). 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 3-19 Chapter 3. System Overview 3-20 Aviat Networks Chapter 4. Introduction to Eclipse Installation This section introduces Eclipse installation procedures, from unpacking and checking the equipment to completion of the physical installation. Eclipse has been tested for and meets EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. The equipment was tested using screened cable; if any other type of cable is used, it may violate compliance. Eclipse is a Class A product. In a domestic environment it may cause radio interference: be prepared to resolve this. Eclipse equipment is intended to be used exclusively in telecommunications centers. You must comply with the relevant health and safety practices when working on or around Eclipse radio equipment.

Ensure all the basic components and accessories for your system have been included in the shipment by comparing the packaging, component part numbers and product descriptions against the packing list, and cross-checking against the installation datapack for the system to be installed. 3. If there has been shipping damage or there are discrepancies between the equipment expected and the equipment received, contact an Aviat Networks Help Desk or your supplier. 4-2 Aviat Networks Chapter 5. Installing the IRU 600 Before installation and commissioning of the IRU 600 and companion INU, its antenna, waveguide, and waveguide pressurization equipment must be installed according to manufacturer’s instructions. For compliance information, refer to Compliance and Notices. For health and safety information, refer to Health and Safety. For information on installing an INU, refer to Installing the INU and INUe. For general guidance on installing antennas, waveguide and pressurization equipment, see the Best Practices Guide from Aviat Networks. IRU 600 Installation Procedure This procedure applies to IRU 600 (V1) and IRU 600v2. 1. Fit the rack mounting brackets onto the chassis. • Brackets can be mounted in either a forward mount or a flush mount position. • Brackets can be mounted such that the grounding stud is to the left or right side. 2. Install the chassis. If installing multiple chassis, consider leaving a 3 RU space between to allow for an expansion or extension kit(s). 3. Locate and secure RFU(s) and ACU in the chassis. 4. Connect the RFU(s) to the ACU using the supplied RF cables. Refer to the cabling diagram on the rear side of the ACU front panel. The lower RFU is A-side, the top B-side. A-side is the default online RFU in a 1+1 protected pairing. 5. For the IRU 600v2 with Tx coaxial switch, fit the RFUv2-to-switch cable assembly. • Ensure cables connect to the correct RFU. Refer to the cabling diagram on the rear side of the ACU front cover. • Ensure DIN5 RFU cable connectors are correctly inserted and locked using the connector locking ring - turn the ring clockwise until clicked into its locked position. • Ensure the switch connector is held secure using its screw fasteners. • The Tx switch cable must remain securely connected at all times. Incorrect communication between the RFU and Tx switch may result in mismatched A-side and B-side operation and loss of standby. 6. Connect the RFU(s) to the INU/INUe RAC 60 or RAC 6X card(s) using the supplied IF cable(s). The minimum bend radius of the IF cable is 25mm. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 5-1 Chapter 5. Installing the IRU 600 Figure 5-1. IRU 600 and INU Figure 5-2. IRU 600v2 Tx Switch and RFUv2 Connections Ventilation Requirements There must be a minimum of 50 mm (2”) of side spacing from the INU/INUe to any rack panels, cable bundles or similar, and 50 mm (2”) of space to the front and back of the RF section to ensure proper ventilation. Grounding The chassis grounding stud accommodates ground cables up to 16 mm2 (AWG 6). The stud also provides jack plug connection for a wrist strap cables a wrist strap. 1. Ground the IRU 600 from the grounding stud to the rack/frame ground bar using 4 mm2 (AWG 12) green PVC insulated stranded copper wire with a suitably sized crimp lug at each end (supplied by the installer). For NEBS grounding compliance, see below. 2. If the equipment rack/frame requires grounding, use 16 mm2 (AWG 6) wire from its ground bar to the station ground. 5-2 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Safety Requirements for Equipment Grounding 1. Do not assume that an existing rack or mounting frame is correctly grounded. Always check the integrity of the ground connections, which must include a check through to the master ground for the station, which should be located at the point of cable entry to the equipment building. Ground wires must provide a direct, low impedance path to the master ground bar. 2. Do not connect other equipment to the same grounding cable as the IRU 600. Each item of equipment in a rack must be separately grounded to the rack ground bar. The rack ground bar is then grounded directly to the building Master Ground. 3. The IRU 600 and INU must be located in the same immediate area (same or adjacent racks/cabinets) as with any other equipment that is connected to the same DC supply circuit point of grounding. DO NOT ground the INU and IRU 600 elsewhere. 4. All intra-building signal cabling must be shielded and both ends of each shield must be grounded. 5. There shall be no switching or disconnecting devices in the grounded circuit conductor between the DC source and the point of connection of the grounding electrode conductor. Waveguide Grounding Grounding the waveguide is an essential part of the overall lightning protection scheme at the site. The number of waveguide grounds required is dependant on the antenna height at its centerline. At a height of 45m, the minimum number of waveguide grounds required is 3: • One located at the top of the vertical waveguide run, about 1 meter below the bend before the waveguide goes horizontal toward the antenna, • One located at the bottom of the vertical cable run, about a meter above the bend before the waveguide goes horizontal toward the equipment room entry point, • One located at the equipment room entry way point. The top and bottom ground is typically connected to a tower ground bar, or to the tower steel using a ground clamp. The entryway ground should be attached to the ground bus bar, generally located directly below the waveguide entryway point. If the height of the antenna centerline is greater than 45m, then additional grounds are required every 25m, or part of, above the 45m level. The topmost one should be located about 1 meter below the bend before the waveguide goes horizontal toward the antenna. NEBS Compliance • Use a 16 mm2 (AWG 6) green PVC insulated stranded copper ground wire (not 4 mm2) together with a star washer under the grounding screw at the ground-bar end. Torque the grounding post screw to 1.2-1.5 Nm (10-13 in-lbs). • All bare conductors must be coated with an appropriate antioxidant compound before crimp connectors are fitted. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 5-3 Chapter 5. Installing the IRU 600 • All unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars must be brought to a bright finish and then coated with an antioxidant before they are connected. This does not apply to tinned, solder-plated, or silver-plated connectors and other plated connection surfaces – but all must be clean and free of contaminants. • All raceway fittings must be tightened to provide a permanent low-impedance path. Connect Waveguide(s) to Antenna Ports(s) Connect the ACU antenna port(s) to the main waveguide(s) using appropriate lengths of flexible waveguide. For information on required waveguide flange, and recommended waveguide type, see below. Remove and discard any protective flange/port covers before installation. Figure 5-3. ACU and Waveguide Connection Table 5-1. Waveguide Flange Type Freq, GHz Flange Type Holes Waveguide 5.8 / 6 CPR 137 G All open for # 6-32 screws WR 137 Power Supply The high power RFUs used at 5.8 GHz are powered over the IF cable from its INU/ INUe and additionally from a DC input on the RFU front panel. • The high power RFU provides a wide-mouth connection for +/- 21 to 60 Vdc. Both +ve and -ve pins are isolated from chassis ground. • The power connector (D-Sub M/F 2W2) and cable is identical to that used for the INU. See Power Cables. • Run the supplied power cable through to the power pick up point, which should be protected by a circuit breaker or fuse in the rack. The circuit breaker or fuse should have maximum capacity of 8 A. 5-4 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual • For a -48 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to -48 Vdc (live), and the black wire to ground/+ve. • For a +24 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to +24 Vdc (live), and the black wire to ground/-ve. - For +24 Vdc operation the associated INU/INUe must be fitted with a PCC to convert +24 Vdc to - 48 Vdc. • For NEBS compliance the battery return connection is to be treated as an isolated DC return (DC-I), as defined in GR-1089-CORE. • An integral DC/DC converter provides polarity protection, under/over voltage shutdown, over-current limit, and thermal shutdown. • NEBS compliant EMI filtering is included. • There are no serviceable fuses. DC power connector can be shorted inadvertently if applied at an angle. Always insert with correct alignment. The DC power supply must be SELV compliant (maximum limited 60 Vdc). Insertion Loss Labels Labels on the ACU provide factory-measured insertion loss data. The top label lists the loss for each filter and circulator. A front label lists the total loss through the ACU (filters, circulators, cables, plus any protection components, such as Tx switch and couplers). Total (combined) loss figures are entered into Portal to enable computation of Tx power and RSL figures at the ACU antenna waveguide port(s) based on the RFU measured values of Tx power and RSL. For IRU 600v2 an additional label shows the insertion loss of the Tx monitoring port. The value must be taken into account when measuring output power with a power meter. Expansion Port The expansion port allows system expansion through the addition of co-located IRU 600 radios, or external radio equipment. • When multiple carriers are deployed on a common branching network (same antenna), the intermodulation frequency products that result from combining two or more transmitter frequencies on a common antenna feeder must be 48 MHz or more above or below each of the receiver frequencies present on the same antenna feeder. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 5-5 Chapter 5. Installing the IRU 600 Next step: Install the INU/INUe. 5-6 Aviat Networks Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe The INU and the INUe are the Eclipse indoor units. This chapter includes: • INU/INUe Description • INU/INUe Installation Requirements • Plug-in Installation Requirements • Installing an INU For compliance information, refer to Compliance and Notices. For health and safety information, refer to Health and Safety. For information on installing an IRU 600, refer to Installing the IRU 600. INU/INUe Description The INU/INUe is a rack-mounted unit that pairs with one or more IRU 600s to make an Eclipse node. An INU/INUe comprises a chassis (IDC/IDCe) and plug-ins. The IDC/IDCe has dedicated slots for the NCC and FAN plug-ins, and either four slots (IDC) or ten slots (IDCe) available for optional RAC, DAC, AUX and NPC plug-ins. For slot allocations and assignments, refer to . Refer to: • INU Front Panel Layout • INU Power Supply • Fuses • FAN Air Filter Option • Power Line Filter Option INU Front Panel Layout This figure is an example of an INU front panel, with one DAC 16x, two RACs, and a blanking panel over the unused slot. For information on the plug-ins, refer to System Overview. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 6-1 Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Figure 6-1.

One ear has a combined ESD and IDC grounding stud. The ears can be fitted either side, which provide flush-with-rack-front mounting. RAC RAC fitted in slot 1 NCC Mandatory node Control Card (dedicated slot) Blank Panel Blanking panel fitted to slot 2 RAC RAC fitted in slot 4 DAC 16x 16xDS1 DAC fitted in slot 3 FAN Mandatory fan plug-in (dedicated slot) INU Power Supply INUs require a -48 Vdc power supply (+ve earth), but will operate to specification over a voltage range of -40.5 to -60 Vdc. The return (+ve) pin on the NCC and NPC power supply connectors is clamped to chassis ground via polarity-protecting power FETs. • NCC and NPC power inputs are reverse polarity protected (the input fuse will not blow if polarity is reversed). For NEBS compliance the battery return connection is to be treated as a common DC return (DC-C), as defined in GR-1089-CORE. Where operation from a +24 Vdc PSU is required, the plug-in PCC option provides voltage conversion from + 24 (19 to 36) Vdc to -56 Vdc for connection to the NCC -48Vdc input. -56 Vdc represents a typical float voltage for a battery-backed -48 Vdc supply. The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) output (60 Vdc maximum limited). 6-2 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Power Consumption and INU Load Maximums Total power consumed is dependent on the number and type of plug-in cards, and the number and type of IRU 600s. • The number and type of RACs and DACs that can be installed in an INU are determined by the load capacity and temperature limits of the DC converter in the NCC, which supplies various DC rails to the plug-in cards. • IRU 600s and FANs are not powered via the NCC converter. Their DC supply is taken directly from the INU -48 Vdc power supply input connector. • However, if a PCC is installed for +24 Vdc operation, the INU cards and associated IRU 600s are supplied from the PCC, meaning PCC power limits are determined by the INU cards and by the number of IRU 600s fitted. • A PCC should always be installed to receive maximum FAN cooling. This means it should be installed in the immediate FAN-side slots in an INU/INUe. Node Power Consumption Table 2 lists nominal power consumption figures for Eclipse cards. Use these together with the IRU600 consumption figures in the following table to determine total nodal power consumption. Power consumption figures are for a -48 Vdc supply voltage at normal room ambients. Table 2. Typical Plug-in Power Consumptions Item Consumption RAC 60 12W RAC 6X 13W DAC (Any variant) 3W NCC 4W NPC 4W AUX 3W FAN 1RU 2W FAN 2RU 4W The table below provides typical figures for IRU 600. • For a high power RFU, power is supplied via its RAC cable and additionally by a front-mounted DC connector.

The NPC provides power supply load sharing with the NCC, allowing the overall loading to be increased. Should the NPC fail, airflow from the 2RU FAN is increased to compensate. • Extended FAN failure/impairment detection is included. For example, an alarm will be raised on a reduction in fan speed (RPM), such as can occur as a result of bearing wear/friction. When planning the number and type of cards to be installed in an INUe or INU, the following rules must be observed. Individual card consumptions are detailed above. INUe Loading Rules for Operation up to 55ºC (131ºF) The following loading rules must be followed when dimensioning the total power consumption of an INUe that is required to operate in ambient temperatures up to 131ºF: • If the total power consumption of all cards installed exceeds 85 watts, an NPC must be fitted, a 2RU FAN card must be fitted, and 5.04 or later SW loaded.With this configuration confirmed (NPC + 2RU FAN + 5.04 SW or later) the maximum INUe loading enabled is 125 watts. The one exception/condition is that the combined installed total of DAC GE3 cards must not exceed four.If an earlier version of SW is loaded, the maximum INUe loading allowed is 85 watts. This rule applies even if an NPC and 2RU FAN is fitted. 55ºC (131ºF) operation does not apply to the PCC. Operational ambient temperatures with a PCC installed must not exceed 450C (1130F). INUe Loading Rules for Operation at 45ºC (113ºF) The following loading rules must be followed when dimensioning the total power consumption of an INUe that is operating in ambient temperatures that do not exceed 45ºC (113ºF): 6-4 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual • If the total power consumption of all cards installed exceeds 85 watts, an NPC must be fitted, a 2RU FAN card must be fitted, and 5.04 or later SW loaded. • With this configuration confirmed (NPC + 2RU FAN + 5.04 SW or later) the maximum INUe loading enabled is 150 watts. The exceptions/conditions to this rule are: • INUe loading is limited to 140 watts if the installed total of DAC GE3 cards exceeds two. • The combined installed total of DAC GE3 cards must not exceed four. • If an earlier version of SW is loaded, the maximum INUe loading allowed is 105 watts. This rule applies even if an NPC and 2RU FAN is fitted. Elevated ambient temperatures should be avoided. The ambient temperature is the air temperature in the immediate operating environment of the chassis, which if installed in a rack, is the ambient applying to its location within the rack. The ambient temperature maximums must not be exceeded. Over-temperature operation is a primary factor affecting long term component reliability. PCC +24 Vdc Operation The PCC is for use with standard +24 Vdc (-ve grounded) battery-backed power supply systems. One PCC supports a maximum three IRU 600 RFUs, plus any combination of RACs and DACs. • The PCC +ve and -ve input terminals are isolated from chassis (ground). The -ve input is grounded by the -ve grounded power supply connection. • The PCC 20A fuse is fitted in the +ve input. It is a PCB mount type and is not field replaceable. • Reverse polarity protection is provided. The PCC will automatically recover from a reverse polarity connection - the fuse will not blow. Over temperature thermal protection is included. • The PCC load maximum is 200 Watts. Use the power consumption data in the preceding section to determine the maximum number of cards and RFUs that can be supported. • The PCC conversion efficiency is nominally 10%. To determine the power consumed by the PCC, use a figure of 10% of the power consumed by the INU/INUe cards and IRU 600 RFUs. • When installed in an INUe, the INUe must be fitted with the 2RU FAN module as it provides almost double the air flow of two 1RU FAN modules. • The PCC should always be installed next to the FAN card to get best air flow cooling. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 6-5 Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe • The PCC must be connected to the NCC before applying power to the PCC to avoid a current-inrush trip (overload) on the PCC. • The PCC can be plugged into any INU/INUe option slot. It is not connected to the backplane and is its function is not monitored within Portal. • Where an NPC is fitted, two PCCs are required for +24 Vdc operation, one for the NCC, the other for the NPC. This means an INUe must be used for NCC + NPC operation. • If the PCC front-panel LED is not lit, it indicates the existence of abnormal conditions such as output under-voltage, output over-voltage, loss of input power, output over-current, or open input fuse. Power Cables The INU power cable is included in the IDC Installation Kit. It is supplied with a D-sub M/F 2W2 connector fitted at one end and wire at the other. The cable is nominally 5 m (16 ft), and the wires are 4 mm2 (AWG 12). The cable is used for -48 Vdc connections to an NCC or NPC, or for +24 Vdc connections to a PCC. The blue wire must be connected to live (-48 Vdc or +24 Vdc); the black wire to ground (+48 Vdc or -24 Vdc). Figure 6-4. Power Cable and Connector DC power connector can be shorted inadvertently if applied at an angle. Always insert with correct alignment. The PCC is supplied with a power cable to connect to an NCC or NPC. Similarly, the power line filter unit is supplied with a power cable to connect to an NCC, NPC, or PCC. This cable is fitted with a D-sub M/F 2W2 connector at each end. Note that a standard power cable is not included for the reason the cable supplied with an NCC (or NPC) is not used when powered from a PCC, or via a power line filter, so the cable is re-used as the power input cable for the PCC or filter unit. 6-6 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Fuses The NCC and NPC are fitted with a fast-acting 25 A fuse fitted on the PCB behind the power cable connector. The PCC is fitted with a fast-acting PCB-mounted 20A fuse. NCC, NPC and PCC fuses are not field-replaceable. FAN Air Filter Option A fan air filter option is available for installation with the FAN module in an INU, and with the 2RU FAN module in an INUe. Where Eclipse is required to be NEBS (Network Equipment-Building System) compliant, the fan air filter must be installed. The fan air filter must be inspected regularly and replaced when dust laden. In normal telecommunications equipment-room environments inspection must be at not more than 12 monthly intervals. In other environments where air quality is not controlled, more frequent inspection is required. A heavily dust-laden filter will severely restrict fan air flow and may lead to over-heating. Excessive heat is the number one cause of premature equipment aging and failure. To maximize long term component reliability, the fan air filter must not be allowed to become clogged, and ambient temperature limits must not be exceeded. Fan Air Filter Installation The fan air filter kit comprises a filter frame, filter element, and fastening screw. It is installed in the INU/INUe to the right side of the FAN module, as illustrated in Figure 6-5 for an INUe. 1. Remove the FAN module and slide the air filter into the chassis so that it locates to the right side of the FAN module backplane connector, and up against the chassis side. FAN module removal and replacement does not affect INUe traffic. 2. Fasten in place using the screw supplied. Do not over-tighten - the screw is designed to bite into the unthreaded hole provided in the plastic frame. 3. Replace the FAN module. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 6-7 Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Installation instructions are included with the fan filter kit. Figure 6-5. Location of Fan Air Filter in INUe Power Line Filter Option An external DC power line filter option is available and must be installed with an INU/ INUe for NEBS compliance. It ensures Eclipse meets EMI requirements specified within Telcordia GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4, June 2006. It is 1RU tall and 140mm wide (5.5”), and is supplied as a kitset comprising the filter unit, bracket for left or right side rack mounting, and a short 2W2-to-2W2 cable for connecting the filter unit to the NCC or NPC -48 Vdc inputs. • Where an NPC is fitted, two filter units are required, one for the NCC, the other for the NPC. • The standard power cable supplied with an INU or NPC is re-used as the power input cable for the filter unit. Figure 6-6. Power Line Filter with Bracket 6-8 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual INU/INUe Installation Requirements Table 6-1. INU Installation Requirements Function/Requirement Details Restricted access The INU/INUe and its associated dc power supply must be installed in a restricted access area such as a secure equipment room, closet, or cabinet. For NEBS compliance, this equates to installation of the INU/INUe in a secure, restricted access central office (CO) or customer premises (CP) location. Required Rack Space The INU requires 44.5 mm (1RU) of vertical rack space and 300 mm rack depth. The INUe requires 89mm (2RU) vertical rack space. Ventilation The INU/INUe requires unobstructed air passage to each side for ventilation purposes. There must be a minimum of 50 mm (2”) of side spacing to any rack panels, cable bundles or similar. No space above or below is required for ventilation purposes. Fan Air Filter The fan air filter must be installed where the INU/INUe is required to be NEBS compliant. The filter must be inspected regularly and replaced when dust laden. Inspection must be at not more than 12 monthly intervals in controlled air environments, or more frequently otherwise. Power Line Filter The power line filter must be installed where the INU/INUe is required to be NEBS compliant. Maximum Ambient Temperature The INU/INUe is specified for a maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) of +55° Celsius (131° Fahrenheit). Conditions apply - see INU Power Supply above. The maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) applies to the immediate operating environment of the INU, which if installed in a rack, is the ambient applying to its location within the rack. Physical stability Ensure that adding an INU/INUe to a rack does not adversely impact the physical stability of the rack. Power supply -48 Vdc The INU (NCC and NPC) has the +ve pin on its dc power supply connector connected to the chassis. It must be used with a -48 Vdc power supply which has a +ve ground; the power supply ground conductor is the +ve supply to the INU. There must be no switching or disconnecting devices in the ground conductor between the dc power supply and the point of connection to an INU/INUe. For NEBS compliance the battery return connection is to be treated as a common DC return (DC-C), as defined in GR-1089-CORE. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 6-9 Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Function/Requirement Details Power Supply +24 Vdc A PCC is required to provide a +24 Vdc to -48 VDC conversion. The dc power supply supplying the PCC must be -ve grounded. There must be no switching or disconnecting devices in the ground conductor between the dc power supply and the point of connection to a PCC. Power Supply Location The INU/INUe must be installed in the same premises as its dc power supply and be located in the same immediate area (such as adjacent racks or cabinets) as any other equipment that is connected to the same dc power supply. Power Supply Compliance and Loading The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for a SELV output (60 Vdc maximum). Check to ensure that connection of an Eclipse system to an existing dc supply does not overload the supply, circuit protection devices and wiring. Where a new dc power supply is to be installed for an Eclipse Node, the power supply should be rated to supply: • 12.5 A for the INU • 25 A for the INUe • 15A for the PCC Cable routing Eclipse tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to be routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept away from any power lines which cross them. Grounding The INU must be grounded to the station or master ground, which must be the same ground as used for the dc power supply. Normally this is achieved by grounding the INU to the ground bar in its equipment rack or frame. This bar is most often located to one side of the rack or at rack top or bottom. In turn, the ground bar is grounded to the station ground. Intrabuilding interfaces and cabling Intrabuilding connections to/from Eclipse ports must only be connected via intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling. (NEBS Compliance) Intrabuilding ports MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring. Shielded and grounded cables must be used for intrabuilding cabling to/from Eclipse ports. Cables must be grounded at both ends. 6-10 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Plug-in Installation Requirements The IDC has four universal slots and two dedicated slots. The IDCe has six universal slots, three restricted slots and 4 dedicated slots. A populated IDC/IDCe is called an INU/INUe. Figure 6-7. Slot Numbering for INU and INUe INU Slot 2 NCC Slot 3 Slot 4 Fan Slot 1 INUe Slot 3 Slot 4 Slot 5 Slot 6 Slot 7 Slot 8 Slot 9 NCC Slot 10 Fan Slot 2 Fan Slot 1 Installing or changing out a plug-in is a straightforward process. The requirements are detailed in Table 6-2. Unless specified by the customer, plug-ins will not be installed in an INU/INUe at shipment. Instead, each is individually packed within the shipping box. Table 6-2. Plug-in Requirements Function/Requirement Priority Details Slot Assignment All slots filled All slots must be filled with either a plug-in or a blanking panel. Failure to do so will compromise EMC integrity and distribution of FAN cooling air. Universal slots 1-4 on an INU 1-6 on an INUe RAC, DAC, and AUX plug-ins can be fitted in any universal slot. Restricted slots 7-9 on an INUe DAC, and AUX plug-ins can be fitted in any restricted slot. The exceptions are the DAC 155oM and AUX, which must only be installed in slots 1 to 6 when they are to be configured to carry/access Eclipse NMS, otherwise they can be installed in slots 7 to 9. Dedicated slots The NCC, FAN, and NPC plug-ins have dedicated slots. Protected RACs INUe Protected RACs (or ring-protected RAC with DAC 155oM) must only be installed in ‘above and below’ slots as indicated by the red arrows. AUX Multiple AUX plug-ins can be installed per INU/INUe. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 6-11 Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Function/Requirement Priority NPC Details Only one NPC is required to provide the NCC protection option. An NPC must be installed in slot 4 of an INU, or slot 10 of an INUe. If an NPC is not installed in an INU, slot 4 is available as a universal slot. Installing / Changing Plug-ins ESD grounding strap Always connect yourself to the INU/INUe with an ESD grounding strap before changing or removing a plug-in. Failure to do so can cause ESD damage to the plug-ins. Avoid hand contact with the PCB top and bottom. Finger-grip fasteners Plug-ins must be withdrawn and inserted using their finger-grip fasteners/pulls. Never withdraw or insert using attached cables, as damage to the plug-in connector and its PCB attachment can occur. If not complied with, the Aviat Networks warranty may be voided. Hot-swappable Plug-ins are hot-swappable. • Removal of an in-service payload plug-in will interrupt its traffic. • Removal of the NCC will affect all traffic - unless protected by an NPC. • Removal / replacement of the FAN does not affect traffic. Engaging backplane connector When installing a plug-in, ensure its backplane connector is correctly engaged before applying sufficient pressure to bring the plug-in panel flush with the front panel. Revision time lag When swapping or installing plug-ins, up to 60 seconds can be required for the INU/INUe to show its revised status via the front panel LEDs, or via Portal. EMC integrity Plug-ins and blanking panels are held in place by captive finger-screws. Ensure the finger-screws are fastened as failure to do so may compromise EMC integrity and fan cooling. RACs Connecting and disconnecting the RFU cable at the RAC Never disconnect or reconnect an RFU cable to a RAC without first turning the power off to the INU or withdrawing the RAC from the backplane. Note: Removing RAC from a powered INU 6-12 The RFU cable provides the power feed to the IRU 600. Arcing during connection and disconnection at the RAC on a live RAC can cause damage to connector contact surfaces. Power spikes caused by live connection and disconnection may also cause errors on other traffic passing through the INU/INUe. The only exception to live disconnection and connection should be for checks of protected operation at link commissioning. When removing a RAC from a powered INU, always the disengage the RAC from the backplane before disconnecting its RFU cable. Similarly before inserting an RAC, always reconnect the RFU cable before engaging the backplane. Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Function/Requirement Priority RAC combinations for INUe Details An INUe can be fitted with a maximum of: • Five RAC 60s. • Four RAC 6Xs. (The reduced RAC numbers are to ensure temperature limits within the INUe are not exceeded at high ambients. See Node Card Maximums.) DACs DAC combinations DACs can be fitted singly or in combination to provide a mix of interface types and capacities provided they have a common backplane configuration. The backplane can be set for 1.5 Mbps/DS1, 43 Mbps/DS3, or 155 Mbps/OC3. TDM Mux DACs allow a mix of interfaces from a common DS1 backplane configuration. Increasing node capacity To achieve a greater node capacity, two or more INUs can be interconnected via a DAC option. DAC 16x Mini RJ-21trib cable connector Ensure correct orientation of the Mini RJ-21 connector on DAC 16x before pushing it home. This can be checked by the scalloped key to one side of the connector. Additionally, a trib cable supplied by Aviat Networks will have the cable exiting to the right side when viewed from the front. Ensure the connector retaining screws are not over-tightened - only use light/moderate screwdriver pressure. Line Protection (electrical DACs) Line (interface) protection can be provided for paired DS3 and STS3 electrical DACs. Line Protection (optical DACs) Line (interface) protection can be provided for paired OC3 optical DACs. General Maximum Backplane Capacity of Eclipse Node The maximum drop, through plus drop, or through backplane capacity on an Eclipse Node is one of the following, depending on the backplane setting: • 300 Mbps • 128xDS1 • 6xDS3 • 2xOC3 Antistatic bags Enclose spare plug-ins, or plug-ins to be returned for service, in an antistatic bag. When handling a plug-in to or from an antistatic bag, do so at the INU/INUe and only when you are connected to the INU/INUe via an ESD ground strap. Spare blank panels Keep any removed blanking panels for future use. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 6-13 Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Installing an INU Procedure 1. Fit the rack mounting ears to the chassis with the grounding stud to left or right side for the most direct ground wire path to the rack ground bar. 2. Locate the INU/INUe in the equipment rack and secure it using four No.12 Phillips dome-head screws from the IDC installation kit. 3. Where NEBS compliance is required, install the power line filter unit. Install immediately below or above the INU. Separate filter units are required for the NCC and, where fitted, the NPC. Use the supplied 2w2 to 2w2 cable to connect the output of the filter unit to the input of the NCC or NPC. 4. Ground the INU/INUe from the grounding stud to the rack/frame ground bar using a length of 4 mm2 (AWG 12) green PVC insulated stranded copper wire with a suitably sized ground lug at each end (supplied by the installer). • For NEBS compliance, 16 mm2 (AWG 6) green PVC insulated stranded copper wire is required together with a star washer under the grounding screw. Torque the INU grounding post screw to 1.2-1.5 Nm (10-13 in-lbs). 5. If the equipment rack/frame requires grounding, use 16 mm2 (AWG 6) wire from its ground bar to the station ground. Do not assume that an existing rack or mounting frame is correctly grounded. Always check the integrity of the ground connections, which must include a check through to the master ground for the station, which should be located at the point of cable entry to the equipment building. For NEBS compliance: - All bare conductors must be coated with an appropriate antioxidant compound before crimp connectors are fitted. - All unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars must be brought to a bright finish and then coated with an antioxidant before they are connected. This does not apply to tinned, solder-plated, or silver-plated connectors and other plated connection surfaces – but all must be clean and free of contaminants. - All raceway fittings must be tightened to provide a permanent low-impedance path. 6. Install the plug-ins in their assigned slot positions, and check that their front panels are flush-fitted (not protruding) and held secure by their fasteners. Ensure unused slots are covered by blanking panels. Refer to . 6-14 Aviat Networks Eclipse Installation Manual Where a fan air filter is to be installed, install it prior to installing the FAN plug-in. 7. Install the CompactFlash card in the NCC plug-in; withdraw the NCC and insert in the socket on the right side of the PCB. 8. Fit the IF cable between the RAC(s) and IRU 600 RFU(s). IF cables are supplied with the IRU 600. Fit the DAC tributary cables. For a DAC 16x, ensure correct orientation of the Mini RJ-21 connector before pushing it home. This can be checked by the scalloped key to one side of the connector. Additionally, a trib cable supplied by Aviat Networks will have the cable exiting to the right side when viewed from the front. Do NOT over-tighten the Mini RJ-21 retaining screws. The following steps describe the procedure for preparing the power cable, and preparing for power-on. Do not connect the power until all steps have been completed. 9. Run the supplied power cable through to the power pick up point, which will normally be at a circuit breaker panel in the rack. A circuit breaker (or fuse) should have a capacity of 12 A for the INU and 25 A for the INUe. 10. For a -48 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to -48 Vdc (live), and the black wire to ground/+ve. (Power input on the NCC and NPC is polarity protected). 11. For a +24 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to+24 Vdc (live), and the black wire to ground/-ve. (Power input on the PCC is polarity protected). 12. Measure the voltage on the dc power connector. • For -48 Vdc operation the voltage should be -48 Vdc, +/-2 Vdc for a non battery floated supply, and nominally -56 Vdc for a battery floated supply. (Limits are -40.5 to - 60 Vdc). • For +24 Vdc operation the voltage should be 24 +/- 2 Vdc for a non battery floated supply, and nominally 30 Vdc for a battery floated supply. (Operating limits are 20 to 36 Vdc). This product meets the global product safety requirements for SELV (safety extra-low voltage) rated equipment and the input voltage must be guaranteed to remain within the SELV limits (60 V maximum) in the event of a single internal fault. Always check the integrity of the dc power supply to an INU/INUe right to its source. Never assume that the supply provided to the pick-up point in a rack is correct. 260-668066-003 Rev 002 October 2001 6-15 Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Eclipse dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to be routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept away from any AC power lines which cross them. 13. Carry out a complete check of the installation. If all is correct, and the IRU 600 and its waveguide, pressurization and antenna installation has likewise been completed and checked, Eclipse is now ready for power-on. If a PCC is installed, ensure the PCC to NCC/NPC cable is fitted before power-on. Once powered up the RFU(s) will be transmitting with the pre-configured or ex-factory frequency and power settings unless the start-up transmit mute option has been invoked. (All RFUs shipped ex-factory have the transmit-mute set as the default unless otherwise specified). If frequency and power settings are not correct, interference can be caused to other links in the same geographical area. 14. Power on for -48 Vdc by connecting the power cable to the NCC, and to the NPC where fitted. • For +24 Vdc operation, connect to the PCC input. • Where a power line filter is installed (for -48 Vdc), connect to the filter input. The 2W2 DC power connector can be shorted inadvertently if applied at an angle. Always insert with correct alignment. Next step: The Eclipse node is ready for configuration and antenna alignment. 6-16 Aviat Networks 260-668066-003 WWW.AVIATNETWORKS.COM
