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 100kg (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 under General
Hazards on page 8.
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.
260-668066-001 OCTOBER 2012 7
VOLUME I, CHAPTER 1, HEALTH AND SAFETY
General Hazards
The following table describes the general hazards that must be addressed when plan-
ning and installing an Eclipse system.
For more information on health and safety when using Aviat Networks products,
refer to the 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 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 89/336/EEC.
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 an Eclipse terminal 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.
8 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Topic Information
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.
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:
- 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 require-
ments/recommendations for protection against potentially harm-
ful 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 the waveguide port of an RFU or into an unter-
minated waveguide when the radio is active.
- See RF Exposure on page 11.
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 Reliable grounding of the Eclipse system must be maintained. Refer
to instructions in the manual for equipment grounding.
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.
260-668066-001 OCTOBER 2012 9
VOLUME I, CHAPTER 1, HEALTH AND SAFETY
Topic Information
Maximum Ambient
Temperature
The maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) for Eclipse indoor units
is +55° C (131° F). Special conditions apply to the INUs - for more
information see Power Consumption within Power Supply on page
61. 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.
Power Supply
Connection
The Eclipse INUs and IDUs have the +ve pin on their dc power supply
connector connected to chassis ground. It must be used with a
-48Vdc 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.
On those high power IRU 600s that support an integral wide-mouth
+/-21 to +/-60 Vdc input, 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 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 a 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.

ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
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.
lEclipse with IRU600, 5.8 GHz, has been tested and certified for use with a
parabolic antenna with a maximum gain of 45.9 dBi or a flat panel antenna
with a maximum gain of 28 dBi. Higher gain antennas must not be used.
lThe transmit output power on the IRU 600 has been limited to a maximum of
29 dBm at the antenna port to ensure compliance with the 1W power limit in
FCC CFR 47, Part 15.247.

VOLUME I, CHAPTER 1, HEALTH AND SAFETY
Routine Inspection and Maintenance
This section overviews required and recommended inspection and maintenance prac-
tices to ensure health and safety of installed equipment is maintained to highest lev-
els. For more information, refer to the Aviat Networks publication: Best Practices.
Routine Inspections
All sites must be inspected annually, or more frequently if subject to abnormal oper-
ating 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, wave-
guide, waveguide pressurization installation, equipment grounding, tower and build-
ing 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 not controlled for dust exclusion.
Selected ground wires should be resistance checked and then compared with pre-
vious 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 using the Portal or ProVision alarm and per-
formance indicators.
Trend Analysis
Use available current and historical Eclipse alarm and performance data to deter-
mine any trend that may lead to a failure - if allowed to continue.
Check for the following trends:
lReducing receive signal levels
lGradually increasing bit errors or an increasing errored seconds count
lChanges in transmit power
lIncreased frequency of rain fade or other fade conditions
lIncreasing occurrence of other weather related changes in performance
lIncreasing occurrence of a particular hardware failure
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.

maximum gain of 45.9 dBi or a flat panel antenna with a maximum gain of
28 dBi.
lThe filters used in the IRU 600 RF unit allow for transmission only in the
frequency range 5725 - 5850MHz to ensure compliance with FCC CFR47 Part
15.247.
Operation is all-indoor, using rack-mounted indoor units, the INU or INUe, and one
or more IRU 600 RF units.
lEclipse supports multiple radio links from a common indoor unit with
throughput capacities to 189 Mbit/s Ethernet, 100xDS1, 3xDS3, or 1xOC3.
lThe IRU 600 RF unit is 1+1 optimized with two RFUs and an ACU. The RFUs
can be operated as independent links, or as a protected link.
lPath, equipment, and data protection options support comprehensive link,
network and data redundancy.
lPlug-in cards on the INU or INUe provide a wide choice of user interfaces and
radio link operation.

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 dig-
ital traffic from the backplane or data packet plane and convert it to an IF signal for
connection to an RFU (IRU 600). The reverse occurs in the receive direction.
lOne RAC/IRU 600 combination is used for a 1+0 link.
lTwo RACs with one 1+1 IRU 600 are used for 1+1 hot-standby or diversity
links.
lRACs control TX switching and RX voting on protected / diversity links.
lXPIC (cross polarization interference cancellation) RACs support CCDP (co-
channel dual polarization) operation.
DACs support the user interface.
lDifferent DACs support Ethernet, DS1, DS3, and OC3 connections.
lMultiplexer DACs support transport of OC3 or DS3 with NxDS1 rates.
lEthernet DACs support a L2 switch function. DAC GE3 supports advanced
options for Synchronous Ethernet, ring/mesh protection, QoS, buffer
management, link aggregation, VLAN tagging, and OAM.
lMost DACs can be protected using a stacked (paired) configuration.
lDS1, DS3, and OC3 DACs support Ethernet-over-TDM options to enable
Ethernet transport over legacy TDM radio or leased-line links.

Plug-in Cards Overview
For detail ed i nfor mati on on the plug-i ns refer to the
Eclipse Pl atf orm Product Description.
RAC 60E
RAC 60E supports DPP (Data Packet Plane) operation, ACM (Adaptive Coding and
Modulation), and airlink recovered timing (ART) for high accuracy radio transport of
a SyncE clock.
There are four dynamically switched modulation rates; QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM,
256 QAM. Coding options additionally apply on each of these modulations, one for
maximum throughput, one for maximum gain, to provide an effective total of eight
modulation states.
lMaximum throughput delivers maximum data throughput - at the expense of
some system gain.
lMaximum gain delivers best system gain - at the expense of some throughput.
lUp to four of the eight modulation states offered with ACM can be selected for
use.
lModulation switching (state change) is errorless for priority traffic.
A DPP port enables direct routing of Ethernet traffic to a DAC GE3.
Individual ACM modulations can be set as fixed rates. These are complemented by
fixed-only rates for TDM capacities (DS1, DS3, OC3).
ANSI channel bandwidths range from 3.5 to 80 MHz.
Air-link capacities for Ethernet, or for Ethernet+TDM, extend to 366 Mbit/s.
TDM options extend to 127xDS1, 4xDS3, 2xOC3.
Payload encryption is a licensed option.

RAC 6XE
RAC 6XE adds CCDP operation to 60E capabilities. RAC 6XE additionally supports
ART.
Two RAC 6XE cards are operated as a CCDP pair, either in the same INU, or in sep-
arate 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.

NCC
The NCC is a mandatory plug-in for an INU/INUe. It performs key node man-
agement 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.

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 or two 1RU FANs are fitted in the INUe. The 2RU FAN is standard.

INU -48Vdc input. -56 Vdc represents the typical float voltage for a battery-backed -
48 Vdc supply.
Figure 1-19. PCC
Data Packet Plane
The high-performance data packet plane (DPP) operates independently of the back-
plane.
The DPP is enabled via direct cable connection between the front panel packet data
port on a RAC 60E, RAC 6XE, and a front-panel port on a DAC GE3. Customer traf-
fic connected to the DACs is bridged to the RACs, and then to the RF transceiver; the
IRU 600.
Where required, customer data can also be sourced via the circuit-switched back-
plane, meaning both the DPP and backplane can be used to source/send traffic. This
has special relevance where native mixed-mode IP + TDM traffic is to be sent over an
Eclipse wireless link; GigE IP traffic via the DPP, and TDM traffic via the backplane.
Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)
Advanced ACM options are provided using RAC 60E or RAC 6XE plug-ins.
lAdaptive modulation maximizes use of available channel bandwidth.
lCoding provides options for maximum throughput or maximum system gain
on each modulation rate.
Adaptive Modulation (AM)
AM uses one of four automatically and dynamically switched modulations - QPSK,
16 QAM, 64 QAM, or 256 QAM. For a given RF channel bandwidth a two-fold
improvement in data throughput is provided for a change from QPSK to 16 QAM, a
three-fold improvement to 64 QAM, and a four-fold improvement to 256 QAM.
In many instances the link parameters that supported the original system gain can
be retained. For example, the antenna sizes and Tx power used for an original QPSK
link on a 7 MHz channel are unchanged when operated on 256 QAM using adaptive
modulation. The adaptive modulation engine ensures that the highest throughput is
always provided based on link quality.
Modulation switching is hitless/errorless. During a change to a lower modulation,
remaining higher priority traffic is not affected. Similarly, existing traffic is unaf-
fected during a change to a higher modulation.
260-668066-001 OCTOBER 2012 27
VOLUME II, CHAPTER 1, SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Note that while adaptive modulation can also be used on PDH links and combined
PDH and Ethernet links, unlike Ethernet there is no QoS synergy on PDH con-
nections.
Ethernet connections enjoy real synergy through the QoS awareness on the DAC GE3
GigE switch, and the service provisioning provided by any MPLS or PBB-TE network
overlay. All high priority traffic, such as voice and video, continues to get through
when path conditions are poor. Outside these conditions 'best effort' lower priority
traffic, such as email and file transfers enjoy data bandwidths that can be up to four
times the guaranteed bandwidth.
DS1 connections by comparison are dropped in user-specified order when link capac-
ity is reduced, and restored when capacity is increased.
Coding
Modulation code options provide two sets of modulation states, one for maximum
throughput, the other for maximum gain. These apply on each of the modulation
rates (QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM, 256 QAM) to provide a 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.
For example:
lWith four modulation rates, each can be set for maximum throughput or
maximum gain.
lWith three modulation rates, such as 16 QAM, 64 QAM, 256 QAM, one rate
(any) can be set for maximum gain and additionally for maximum
throughput, to provide four step AM operation.
lWith two modulation rates, such as 16 QAM (or 64 QAM) with 256 QAM,
each can be set for maximum gain and additionally for maximum throughput,
to provide four step AM operation.
This feature provides a practical trade-off between capacity and system gain to fine-
tune link performance. It provides best balance on AM operation.
The four modulation rates support near-linear 2x, 3x, 4x capacity steps.
The coding options allow capacity/gain variations on these rates to always support
up to four steps, even when just two of the possible four modulation rates are in use,
or are permitted.
Even where just one modulation rate is required/permitted, the coding option sup-
ports two-step AM operation, one for maximum throughput, one for maximum gain.

Eclipse IRU 600
The IRU 600 is a rack-mounted transceiver unit for co-location with an INU/INUe as
an all-indoor installation.
lIRU 600 is 1+1 optimized. It comprises one or two RFUs (radio frequency
units), and a filter-based ACU (antenna coupler unit).
oThe ACU design supports paired and unpaired Tx/Rx frequency splits and
incorporates an optional expansion port to allow other radio links onto its
waveguide feed for co-path operation.
oProtected/diversity options include:
n1+1 hot-standby, single antenna.
n1+0 hot-standby-ready.
nSpace diversity (dual antennas) with common or split Tx.
nFrequency diversity (single antenna) or frequency diversity with space
diversity (dual antennas).
o1+0 repeater (back-to-back) single chassis operation is supported.
lIRU 600 is supported from a RAC 60E/6XE.
lNEBS compliant EMI filtering is standard (currently IRU 600(v1) and IRU
600v2). NEBS compliance for IRU 600v3 is planned.
lLabels on the ACU show filter and circulator losses and the total loss (filters,
circulators, switch and cables combined).
lWhen multiple IRU 600 links are combined onto a single waveguide feed for
ACCP operation, required minimum Tx to Tx and Rx to Rx spacings, and
minimum Tx to Rx separations must be strictly maintained. For information
on ACCP operation and limitations contact Aviat Networks or your supplier.
IRU 600 Variants
There are three variants, IRU 600 [IRU 600(v1)], IRU 600v2, and IRU 600v3. IRU
600v2 and IRU 600v3 incorporate 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.
IRU 600v2 and IRU 600v3 also add a transmit monitoring port.
Tx Coaxial Switch: IRU 600v2 and IRU 600v3
Primary benefits of the Tx coaxial switch are reduced power loss and faster Tx pro-
tection switch times.
lIt avoids the losses associated with a Tx coupler/combiner.
oWith 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.
260-668066-001 OCTOBER 2012 31
VOLUME II, CHAPTER 1, SYSTEM OVERVIEW
lAverage 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.
oTimes 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 con-
sumption is the priority, an option is provided to mute the offline Tx. For power con-
sumption data See Power Supply on page 61.
lWith MHSB operation both A-side and B-side transmit are fully monitored.
lWith 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 is provided through periodic activation of the
standby Tx for health monitoring purposes - it is turned on, checked, and
turned off again. The period between turn-on instances is user-selectable.
RFU Variants
IRU 600v2 and IRU 600v3 RFUs (RFUv2 and RFUv3) incorporate a Tx switch con-
trol port (DIN5 connector) for cable connection to the Tx coaxial switch.
lSwitch-port cables (two) are included with the Tx switch on MHSB and
MHSB/SD ACUs.
lOn the RFUv2 and RFUv3, RSSI access is provided on the front panel as meter
test-probe points. On RFUv1 RSSI access is provided on the ACU-side of the
IRU 600 Compatibility
IRU 600(v1) and IRU 600v2 share a common 3RU chassis. Dimensions and mount-
ing points for V1 and V2 RFUs and ACUs are identical.
IRU 600v3 is housed in a compact 2RU chassis. While the ACU is unique to the V3,
the V3 RFUs can be used in V1 and V2 chassis.
The following use guidelines apply:
lV1 and V2 RFUs are compatible sparing partners EXCEPT for HSB
configurations where the ACU incorporates a coaxial relay Tx switch (IRU
600v2/v3 ACUs). RFU V1 cannot control the Tx coaxial switch. This means
that:
oV1, V2 RFUs are interchangeable in non-protected systems using V1, V2
ACUs. Applies to single-ended 1+0, and to 1+0 repeater systems.
oIn protected HSB or HSB-ready systems with a V1 ACU, a V2 RFU can
spare for a V1.
oIn protected HSB or HSB-ready systems with a V2 ACU, the V1 RFU
cannot spare for a V2 RFU.
lV3 RFUs can be installed in IRU 600(v1) or IRU 600v2 chassis using a
conversion kit, which increases RFU unit height to match the mounting points
provided for V1 and V2 RFUs.
32 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
oThe V3 RFU (with conversion kit installed) can be used in non-protected
and HSB V1 and V2 chassis.
oV1 or V2 RFUs cannot be installed in a V3 chassis.
lV1 and V2 ACUs are interchangeable. The V3 ACU is not.
oA V1 ACU can be installed in a V2 chassis, and vice-versa.
oV1 and V2 ACUs cannot be installed in a V3 chassis. Similarly a V3 ACU
cannot be installed in a V1 or V2 chassis.
lAll IRUs are fully over-air compatible with like-for-like configurations. For
example, a 1+0 IRU 600(v1) may be linked to a 1+0 IRU 600v2 or IRU 600v3.
Similarly, 1+1 HSB IRU 600(v1) may be linked to a 1+1 HSB IRU 600v2 or
IRU 600v3.
Tx Monitoring Port
IRU 600v2 and IRU 600v3 Tx filters incorporate a Tx monitoring port (SMA con-
nector) to provide a 30 dB attenuated (nominal) sample for test and measurement
purposes. A label on the ACU shows the measured ex-factory insertion loss of the
port.
5.8 GHz Unlicensed Band
Eclipse INUs with IRU 600 are compliant with FCC CFR47, Part 15.247, and Indus-
try Canada RSS-210 Annex 8, on ISM frequency band 5725 to 5850 MHz. Inter-
national 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:
lACU filters are tuned 30 MHz wide.
oFilters are spot tuned (pre-tuned) on 5740.5/5805.5 MHz or 5769.5/5834.5
MHz.
oWith 30 MHz filters just two Tx/Rx pairs can be used to provide full
coverage of the band.
lBandwidths 5, 10, 20, or 30 MHz.
lTx and Rx can be paired on different sub-bands (Tx on one 30 MHz sub-band,
RX on the other).
lAdaptive or fixed modulation options.
lSupports Ethernet and/or NxDS1 payloads, with air-link capacities to 189
Mbit/s (30 MHz Ch BW).
lExtensive protection and diversity options.
lOutput power is limited to 29 dBm at the waveguide port to ensure
compliance with the FCC 1 Watt rule.
lFor Tx power and system gain figures, see the Eclipse Node Datasheet.

VOLUME II, CHAPTER 1, SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Operational Limitations and Restrictions
Unlicensed band operation means sharing the air-space with other operators of unli-
censed band links. Interference is possible.
lIRU 600 5.8 GHz operation is 'narrow-band'; it competes/shares spectrum
with other narrow-band links and with spread-spectrum links.
lPerformance could deteriorate over time with the introduction of other links in
the same geographical area.
lAntennas must be approved (FCC or Industry Canada) for 5.8 GHz unlicensed
band.
oEclipse 5.8 GHz is certified for use with a parabolic antenna with a
maximum gain of 45.9 dBi or a flat panel antenna with a maximum gain
of 28 dBi.
Common RFU for 5.8 GHz Unlicensed and L6 Licensed
The RFU for 5.8 GHz unlicensed is common with 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.
lThe 5.8 GHz unlicensed band is designed to support easy and fast
deployment. With a suitable antenna, installation can be 'immediate'.
lThe common 5.8 GHz / L6 RFU design means subsequent conversion to L6
licensed operation only requires replacement of the ACU.
5.8 GHz operation suppor ts fast turn-up for new link requi r e-
ments. On receipt of a license, operation can be converted to
L6 licensed band by replacing the ACU.

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
lY cables connect the paired DACs to customer equipment.
lIn the Rx direction (from the customer) both DACs receive data, but only the
online
Rx DAC sends this data to the TDM bus.
lIn the Tx direction, the online Tx DAC sends data to customer equipment, the
other mutes its Tx line interface.
Tributary Always-On
lSeparate cables connect each DAC to customer equipment.
lIn the Rx direction (from the customer) both DACs receive data, but only the
online Rx DAC sends this data to the TDM bus.
lIn 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.
260-668066-001 OCTOBER 2012 35
VOLUME II, CHAPTER 1, SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Network/Data Protection
lEthernet ring network protection is supported on DAC GE3 using ERP (ITU-T
8032v2 Ethernet Ring Protection) or RSTP (IEEE 802.1w).
lEthernet data redundancy is supported on L1 and L2 link-aggregated links
(DAC GE3).
lPDH ring protection is supported by an DS1 loopswitch capability, or a ring-
wrap Super PDH (SPDH) option.
Ethernet Ring and Mesh Networks
ERP uses standard Ethernet bridging and OAM protocols and OAM automatic pro-
tection switching (APS) messaging to provide a fast-acting protection mechanism for
ring networks.
RSTP uses a development of the spanning tree protocol (STP) to prevent network
loops and provide path redundancy.
Ethernet Link Aggregation (N+0 Protection)
Traffic redundancy is supported on co-path Ethernet links using L1 or L2 link aggre-
gation. If one link fails its traffic is recovered on the remaining link or links. While
the reduced bandwidth may result in some traffic loss for low-priority traffic, appro-
priate QoS settings should ensure security for all higher priority traffic.
PDH Ring Protection
Eclipse supports two DS1 ring protection mechanisms, loop-switch and SPDH.
lThe loop-switch function configures a bi-directional redundant ring with a
hitless switching capability. Rings can be configured using RACs, and
PDH/SDH mux DACs.
lSPDH uses a ring-wrap mechanism formed on east/west facing RAC/RAC or
RAC/DAC 155oM combinations. Switching is not hitless.
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
lProtects all circuit/tributary traffic. Alarm I/O is not protected.
lSwitching is not hitless for an NCC bus clock failure; restoration is within 200
ms, during which time all traffic on the NTU is affected.
lWhen 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.
36 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Power Supply Protection
lProtection 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.
lWith an NPC installed, the NCC can be withdrawn and replaced without
further impacting traffic.
lFor 24 Vdc operation two PCCs are required for platform protection, one each
for the NCC and NPC.
260-668066-001 OCTOBER 2012 37
VOLUME II, CHAPTER 1, SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Licensing
Eclipse is subject to capacity and feature licensing.
Capacity Licensing
Capacity licensing is INU and INUe based (node-based). A single license applies
across all installed RACs installed in an INU/INUe.
lLicensed capacity ranges from 50 Mbps with license EZE-08001, to 2 Gbps
with license EZE-08010
lCapacity license is auto-allocated or user-allocated between installed RACs.
lUpgrade licenses are available to increase existing capacity supported on a
node.
Node Feature Licensing
Feature licenses provide access to extended Eclipse functionality.
lA feature license is a node-based license - it applies across all relevant cards
installed in the node.
lWhen a feature is required on a new node it is ordered together with the
capacity license for the node.
lFeature licenses can be separately ordered as upgrades on existing nodes.
Node Feature Overview
Feature Licenses:
EZF-01: Layer 1 Link Aggregation (DAC GE3)
L1 link aggregation (L1LA) splits traffic between links on a byte-segment basis.
It supports higher burst capacities compared to L2 link aggregation - throughput
can burst to the aggregated total capacity, unlike L2 link aggregation.
L1LA (like L2 link aggregation) supports redundancy - data from a failed link is
directed onto the remaining link, or links.
L1LA on DAC GE3 is modulation-aware; load re-balancing occurs on modulation
change under adaptive modulation.
EZF-02: Adaptive Modulation (RAC 60E/6XE)
Modulation is automatically and dynamically switched between modulation selec-
tions.
38 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
EZF-03: Secure Management (NMS)
Secure Management applies to Eclipse NMS access over the network, and to local
access via the Portal craft tool.
lProvides secure management access to Eclipse over an unsecured network.
lProtects Eclipse configurations from accidental or intentional modification by
unauthorized personnel.
lKeeps track of all events for accountability.
lBased on FIPS 140-2 validated algorithms.
EZF-04: Payload Encryption (RAC 60E/6XE)
Payload Encryption encrypts payload and management data on the wireless link to
prevent eavesdropping.
lChecks integrity of each data frame in the wireless link to ensure that received
data has been sent by the intended transmitter.
lProvides the same level of security as Wi-Fi and WiMAX.
lFIPS-197 compliant.
lCan be enabled/disabled independently for each wireless link.
lMeets US federal and commercial requirements.
EZF-05: Ethernet over TDM (DS3, DS1)
Enables mapping of Ethernet data to DS3, DS1 PDH interfaces using the DAC
3xDS3M or DAC 16xV2. Applies where a customer wishes to transport Ethernet data
over existing DS3 or NxDS1 radio or leased-line circuits.
lEthernet data from the Eclipse backplane is mapped into a DS3 frame as DS1
(1.544 Mbps) multiples to a maximum 28xDS1, to support a maximum data
rate (available bandwidth for Ethernet) of 43 (43.232) Mbps per DS3. The DS3
connection must support unframed/transparent DS3.
lEthernet data is mapped into NxDS1 frames at 1.544 Mbps per DS1 to a
maximum 16xDS1 on the DAC 16xV2, to support a maximum data rate
(available bandwidth for Ethernet) of 24 (24.7) Mbps.
EZF-06: RADIUS Client
Enables connection validation to a RADIUS server for centralized account man-
agement.
EZF-09: Synchronous Ethernet
Enables Synchronous Ethernet operation on DAC GE3 cards.
EZF-10: Ethernet OAM/ERP
Enables access to DAC GE3 Ethernet OAM and ERP capabilities.
EZF-61 to EZF-66: IRU 600v3 High Tx Power
Unlocks an additional 3dB of transmit power over standard power. Applies on all
modulations. It also increases the manual and ATPC transmit power control range
by 3dB.

Power Supply
Eclipse is designed to operate from a -48Vdc power supply (+ve earth) but will oper-
ate 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 Volt-

VOLUME III, CHAPTER 2, IRU 600 INSTALLATION
IRU 600 Installation Procedure
This procedure applies to IRU 600(v1), IRU 600v2, and IRU 600v3. Unless other-
wise stated, reference to IRU 600 refers to all IRU 600 variants.
1. Fit the rack mounting brackets onto the chassis.
oBrackets can be mounted in either a forward mount or a flush mount
position.
oBrackets can be mounted such that the grounding stud is to the left or
right side.
2. Install the chassis. If installing multiple chassis:
oFor IRU 600(v1) and IRU 600v2 install with a 3RU space between the
chassis to permit installation of an expansion or extension kit. This space
can be used to install an INU/INUE.
oFor IRU 600v3 no chassis spacing is required, but a 1RU space should be
retained above the top and below the bottom of the chassis stack to ease
hand access to RFU - ACU cable installation.
3. Locate and secure RFU(s) and ACU in the IRU 600 chassis.
oFor IRU 600v3 the chassis-mounted post fitted to secure the right side of
the RFU / left side of the ACU front cover is removable.
oThis is to assist connection/dis-connection of the RFU SMA connectors,
and the DIN5 connector on 1+1 configurations.
CAUTION:When re-fitting the IRU 600v3 removable post do not over-
tighten. Thumb-tighten only to avoid thread-striping.
Figure 2-1. IRU 600v3 Removable Post
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 and IRU 600v3 with Tx coaxial switch, fit the RFU-to-
switch cable assembly.
oThe fixing post in front of the RFU connectors can be removed to aid
connector access. See step 3 above.
oEnsure cables connect to the correct RFU. Refer to the cabling diagram on
the rear side of the ACU front cover.
oEnsure DIN5 RFU cable connectors are correctly inserted and locked using
the connector locking ring - turn the ring clockwise until clicked into its
locked position.
oEnsure the switch connector is held secure using its screw fasteners.
oThe 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 60E or RAC 6XE card(s) using
the supplied IF cable(s). The minimum bend radius of the IF cable is 25mm.

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.
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 the ground bar 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.
52 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Safety Requirements for Equipment Grounding
lDo 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.
lDo not connect other equipment to the same grounding cable as the INU. Each
item of equipment in a rack must be separately grounded to the rack ground
bar.
lThe INU / IRU 600 must be located in the same immediate area (adjacent
racks/cabinets) as all other equipment with a (ground) connection to a
common DC supply source.
lAll intra-building signal cabling must be shielded and both ends of each shield
must be grounded.
lThere must 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 wave-
guide grounds required is three:
lOne located at the top of the vertical waveguide run, about 1 meter below the
bend before the waveguide goes horizontal toward the antenna,
lOne 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,
lOne 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
lUse 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
260-668066-001 OCTOBER 2012 53
VOLUME III, CHAPTER 2, IRU 600 INSTALLATION
ground-bar end. Torque the grounding post screw to 1.2-1.5 Nm (10-13 in-lbs).
lAll bare conductors must be coated with an appropriate antioxidant
compound before crimp connectors are fitted.
lAll 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.
lAll raceway fittings must be tightened to provide a permanent low-impedance
path.
Waveguide Connection
Connect ACU antenna port(s) to waveguide(s) using flexible waveguide.
For information on required waveguide flange, and recommended waveguide type,
refer to the following table.
Remove and discard any protective flange/port covers before installation.

Power Supply
CAUTION:The DC power connector (D-Sub M/F 2W2) on high power
V1 and V2 RFUs can be shorted inadvertently if applied at an angle.
Always insert with correct alignment.
The DC power supply must be SELV compliant (maximum lim-
ited 60 Vdc).
For IRU 600 power consumption figures refer to Power Consumption and INU Load
Maximums on page 61.
For +24 Vdc operation one PCC supports a maximum three V1 or V2 RFUs, or a max-
imum two V3 RFUs.
IRU 600(v1) and IRU 600v2
For 5.8 GHz operation the high-power RFU is required. High power RFUs are pow-
ered over the IF cable from its INU/INUe, and additionally via a separate DC input
on the RFU front panel.
lThe power connector (D-Sub M/F 2W2) and cable is identical to that used for
the INU.
54 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
lThe high power RFU provides a wide-mouth connection for +/- 21 to 60 Vdc.
Both +ve and -ve pins are isolated from ground.
lThe integral DC/DC converter provides polarity protection, under/over voltage
shutdown, over-current limit, and thermal shutdown.
lFor operation from +24 Vdc supplies, the associated INU/INUe must be fitted
with a PCC to convert +24 Vdc to -48 Vdc.
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.
lFor a -48 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to -48 Vdc (live), and the black
wire to ground/+ve.
lFor a +24 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to +24 Vdc (live), and the black
wire to ground/-ve.
lFor NEBS compliance the battery return connection is to be treated as an
isolated DC return (DC-I), as defined in GR-1089-CORE.
NEBS compliant EMI filtering is included.
There are no serviceable fuses.
IRU 600v3
The v3 RFU supports both standard and high Tx power operation, with DC power
supplied over the IF cable from its INU/INUe.
lThe RFU is SW configured for standard or high power. High power operation
requires a feature license.
lFor 5.8 GHz operation standard power is used. Standard power supports the
29 dBm maximum-limited output power at the antenna port.
lThe INU/INUe requires a -48Vdc power input.
lFor +24 Vdc operation a PCC (Power Converter Card) converts +24 Vdc to -48
Vdc for connection to the NCC. Two PCCs are required if an NPC is also
installed.
Insertion Loss Labels
Labels on the ACU provide factory-measured insertion loss data. These list the loss
for each filter and circulator, and the total loss through the ACU (filters, circulators,
cables, plus any protection components, such as Tx switch and couplers). Total (com-
bined) loss figures are used by the craft tool (Portal) to enable computation of Tx
power and RSL figures at the ACU antenna waveguide port(s) based on the RFU

For IRU 600v2 and IRU 600v3 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.

VOLUME III, CHAPTER 2, IRU 600 INSTALLATION
Expansion Port Use
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 selection and installation of branching network components must be
such that threshold degradation caused by intermodulation products is avoided.
While the IRU 600 ACUs are specified to avoid placing undue constraints on
frequency planning for multiple carrier systems, the following conditional require-
ments are intended to provide a guidelines for such systems, which may require
extra diligence in the selection and installation of branching components.
lThe intermodulation frequency products that result from combining two or
more transmitter frequencies on a common antenna feeder should be 48MHz
or more above or below each of the receiver frequencies present on the same
antenna feeder.
lSystems employing carrier frequencies with potential intermodulation
products within 48MHz of any of the receiver frequencies present on the same
antenna branching network (feeder) must be designed and installed to
mitigate the effects of the potential intermodulation products.
FAN Module
The fan units in an RFU are removable for service/replacement. Fan module replace-
ment is non traffic affecting.
lFor IRU 600(v1) and IRU 600v2 a fan cover is removed to expose the two
fans. Removal and replacement is per-fan.
lFor the IRU 600v3 the four fans are located on a removable/replaceable front-
cover fan tray.
oTo remove, unscrew the fan tray fasteners, ease outwards and carefully dis-
connect the rear cable connector. Fan replacement is per-tray.
lFan operation is monitored. Each fan has a matching alarm.
lFor IRU 600(v1) and IRU 600v2 both fans are operated at a fixed speed.
lFor IRU 600v3 the fans are currently operated at a fixed speed. Temperature-
dependent speed will be introduced in a subsequent SW release.
If one fan needs to be replaced, replace all fans.

ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Power Supply
The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant f or SELV
(Safety Extra Low Voltage) output (60Vdc maximum l i mi ted).
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.
lNCC 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 the typical float voltage for a battery-backed -48
Vdc supply.
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 supported.
Unless otherwi se stated reference to IRU 600 refers to all I RU
600 variants; IRU 600(v1), IRU 600v2, and IRU 600v3.
INU loading maximums, 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.
lIRU 600s and FANs are not powered via the NCC converter, meaning the IRU
600 type does not impact INU link loading. Their DC supply is taken from the
-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 and type of IRU 600s supported.
lA 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.
Power Consumption
The table below lists nominal power consumption figures for Eclipse cards. Use these
together with the IRU600 consumption figures in the following tables to determine
total nodal power consumption.

NOTE:
lPower consumption is reduced (slightly) on higher modulations (higher
modulations have reduced Tx power output maximums).
lPower consumption is reduced as Tx power is reduced (either when enabling
ATPC or when manually configuring Tx power to a value below the maximum
capability).
oHigh power and standard power operation realizes power consumption
savings of approximately 5W when operated 3dB below maximum power,
and approximately 15 W when operated 10dB below.
Node Card Maximums
From SW release 5.04 improvements in the cooling fan operating logic allow higher
card loadings coupled with maximum ambients to 55oC (131oF), or 45oC (113oF).
lFrom software release 5.04 fan logic improvements allow higher INUe loading
when an NPC is installed.
lAn NPC must be fitted in an INUe where specified below. 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.
lExtended 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 under
Power Consumption.
CAUTION:The loading rules below must be observed by the installer -
there is no built-in mechanism to report or limit an incorrect dimen-
sioning of power supply consumption.

VOLUME III, CHAPTER 3, INU AND INUE INSTALLATION
INUe Loading Rules for Operation up to 55ºC (131ºF)
The following loading rules must be followed when dimensioning the total power con-
sumption of an INUe that is required to operate in ambient temperatures up to 55ºC
(131ºF):
lIf 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.
lWith 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.
lIf 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.
CAUTION:55ºC (131ºF) operation does not apply to the PCC. Oper-
ational 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 con-
sumption of an INUe that is operating in ambient temperatures that do not exceed
45ºC (113ºF):
lIf 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.
lWith 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:
oINUe loading is limited to 140 watts if the installed total of DAC GE3 cards
exceeds two.
oThe combined installed total of DAC GE3 cards must not exceed four.
lIf 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.

l50 watts total for operation up to 55ºC
No improvements are introduced for the INU with 5.04 SW due to its use of smaller,
lower volume cooling fans.
64 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Elevated ambient temperatures shoul d be avoided. The
ambient temperature is the ai r temperature in the immediate
operati ng environment of the chassis, which if installed i n a
rack, is the ambient applying to its location within the rack.
CAUTION: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.
lOne PCC supports a maximum three IRU 600v1 or v2 RFUs, plus any
combination of RACs and DACs.
lOne PCC supports a maximum two IRU 600v3 RFUs, plus any combination of
RACs and DACs.
lThe PCC +ve and -ve input terminals are isolated from chassis (ground). The -
ve input is grounded by the -ve grounded power supply connection.
lThe PCC 20A fuse is fitted in the +ve input. It is a PCB mount type and is not
field replaceable.
lReverse 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.
lThe 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
an be supported.
lAmbient temperatures must not exceed 450C (113F). The PCC should always
be installed next to the FAN card to get best air flow cooling.
lThe 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 RFUs.
lWhen installed in an INUe the INUe must be fitted with the 2RU FAN module
as it provides almost double the air flow of the 1RU FAN modules.
lThe PCC must be connected to the NCC before applying power to the PCC to
avoid a current-inrush trip (overload) on the PCC.
lThe PCC can be plugged into any INU/INUe option slot. It is not connected to
the backplane and its function is not monitored within Portal.
lWhere 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.
lIf 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.

VOLUME III, CHAPTER 3, INU AND INUE INSTALLATION
Power Cables
The INU power cable is supplied 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 nom-
inally 5m (16ft), 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 con-
nections 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 3-2. Power Cable and Connector
CAUTION: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 optional NEBS 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 stand-
ard 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.
Fuses
The NCC and NPC are fitted with a fast-acting 25A 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
66 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
(Network Equipment-Building System) compliant, the fan air filter must be
installed.
The f an ai r filter must be inspected regularly and repl aced
when dust laden. I n normal telecommunicati ons equipment-
room environments inspecti on must be at not mor e than 12
monthly intervals. In other environments where ai r quality i s
not controlled, more frequent i nspection is required.
CAUTION: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
For the INUe a fan air filter kit is supplied, comprising a filter frame, filter element,
and fastening screw. For the INU the filter it is a single-piece element.
The filter is installed in the INU/INUe to the right side of the FAN module, as illus-
trated below for an INUe.
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 traffic.
Installation instructions are included with the fan filter kit.

VOLUME III, CHAPTER 3, INU AND INUE INSTALLATION
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 spec-
ified within Telcordia GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4, June 2006.
It is IRU 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.

68 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Installation Requirements
This table lists typical 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 300mm
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 50mm (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
Power Supply on page 61. 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 -48Vdc 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.
260-668066-001 OCTOBER 2012 69
VOLUME III, CHAPTER 3, INU AND INUE INSTALLATION
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
(60Vdc 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
- 25A 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
(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.
70 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Installation Procedure
1. Fit the rack mounting brackets 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. Ground the INU/INUe from the grounding stud to the rack/frame ground
bar using a length of 4mm2 (AWG12) green PVC insulated stranded copper
wire with a suitably sized ground lug at the ground bar end (supplied by the
installer). The grounding stud accommodates ground cables up to 16 mm2
(AWG 6). The stud also provides jack plug connection for a wrist strap.
4. If the equipment rack/frame requires grounding, use 16mm2 (AWG6) wire
from its ground bar to the station ground.
Grounding Safety:
oDo 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.
oDo not connect other equipment to the same grounding cable as the INU.
Each item of equipment in a rack must be separately grounded to the rack
ground bar.
oThe INU must be located in the same immediate area (adjacent
racks/cabinets) as all other equipment with a (ground) connection to a
common DC supply source.
For NEBS compliance:
oInstall the fan air filter option. Options are available for the 1RU INU and
2RU INUe. See FAN Air Filter Option on page 66.
oInstall the NEBS 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.
oTo ground the INU use 16 mm2 (AWG 6) green PVC insulated stranded
copper wire together with a star washer under the grounding screw at the
ground-bar end. Torque the INU grounding post screw to 1.2-1.5 Nm (10-13
in-lbs).
oAll bare conductors must be coated with an appropriate antioxidant
compound before crimp connectors are fitted.
oAll unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars must be brought to a
bright finish and then coated with an antioxidant before they are
260-668066-001 OCTOBER 2012 71
VOLUME III, CHAPTER 3, INU AND INUE INSTALLATION
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.
oAll raceway fittings must be tightened to provide a permanent low-
impedance path.
5. 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.
oIf a FAN air filter is required, fit it prior to inserting the FAN.
oInstall the CompactFlash (CF) card in the NCC; insert in the socket on
the right side of the PCB.
oThe CF card holds configuration, software load, and license data.
oEach CF card is identified by a unique serial number; which is the license
number for the Eclipse terminal.
6. For an IRU 600 installation fit the supplied jumper cable between the RAC
and its companion IRU 600 RFU.
7. Fit NMS cables, DAC tributary cables, and where required, AUX cables. For
data on the cable sets, refer to INU/INUe Cable Assemblies on page 77.
The following steps describe the procedure for installing the power cable, and pre-
paring for power-on. Do not connect the power until all steps have been completed.
8. 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 12A for the INU and a 25A for the INUe,
however these ratings can be adjusted in line with the number of cards
installed, and hence power consumption. For power consumption data, see
Power Supply on page 61.
9. 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).
10. For a +24 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to +24Vdc (live), and the black
wire to ground/-ve. (Power input on the PCC is polarity protected).
11. Measure the voltage on the dc power connector.
oFor -48 Vdc operation the voltage should be -48Vdc, +/-2Vdc for a non
battery floated supply, and nominally -56 Vdc for a battery floated supply.
(Limits are -40.5 to - 60 Vdc).
oFor +24 Vdc operation the voltage should be 24 +/- 2Vdc for a non battery
floated supply, and nominally 30 Vdc for a battery floated supply.
(Operating limits are 20 to 36 Vdc).

ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
CAUTION: 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.
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.
12. Carry out a complete check of the installation. If all is correct, and the IRU
600 installation has likewise been completed and checked, the INU and IRU
600 are ready for power-on.
oIf a PCC is installed, ensure the PCC to NCC/NPC cable is correctly fitted
before power-on.
CAUTION: 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 other-
wise specified).If frequency and power settings are not correct, inter-
ference can be caused to other links in the same geographical area.
13. Turn power on. For -48 Vdc connect the power cable to the NCC, and to the
NPC where fitted. For +24 Vdc operation, connect to the PCC input.
oWhere a power line filter is installed (for -48 Vdc), connect to the filter
input.
CAUTION: Do not turn off an INU/INUe within 10 minutes of initial
turn-on, or initial turn-on after a new compact flash card is installed.
CAUTION: 2W2 DC power connectors can be shorted inadvertently if
applied at an angle. Always insert with correct alignment.
CAUTION: Ambient temperatures must not exceed 550C (1310F). If
installed in a rack cabinet, it is the ambient within the cabinet.
Next Step: The Eclipse INU with IRU 600 is ready for configuration and antenna
alignment.

Plug-in Installation
Installing or changing out a plug-in is a straightforward process.
lThe table below lists plug-in requirements at installation or subsequent
upgrade.
lUnless 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.
For a description of the plug-ins, see Plug-in Cards on page 20.
For information on user-interface connector and cable data, refer to INU/INUe Cable
Assemblies on page 77.
Table 3-5. 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, DAC 155eM, 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.
NPC 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.
74 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Function/Requirement Priority Details
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 pro-
tected 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
RFUcable 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: The RFU cable provides the power feed to the RFU.
Arcing during connection and disconnection at the RAC on
a live RAC can cause damage to connector contact sur-
faces. Power spikes caused by live connection and dis-
connection may also cause errors on other traffic passing
through the INU/INUe. The only exception to live dis-
connection and connection should be for checks of pro-
tected operation at link commissioning.
Removing RAC from a
powered INU
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.
RAC combinations for
INUe
An INUe can be fitted with a maximum of six RACs for one of
the following combinations:
- Six non-protected links
- One protected/diversity link plus four non-protected links
- Two protected/diversity links plus four non-protected
links
- Three protected/diversity links
Before installing more than four RACs refer to the Power
Consumption and INU Load Maximums in Power Supply on
page 61.)

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 Mbit/s / DS1
- 3 Mbit/s / DS3
- 155 Mbit/s / OC3
Mux version 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.
Interface Protection

The NMS connector provides Ethernet access for Portal or ProVision. Pin assign-
ments represent industry-standard LAN cable assembly for a 10/100Base-T, RJ-45
connector. Different length ‘straight’ Ethernet cables are included as optional acces-
sories.
The Eclipse INU/INUe has a four-port 10/100Base-T NMS assembly. The Ethernet
port auto-resolves for straight and crossover cables (Mdi or MdiX). Either cable type
can be used.
The port connectivity and activity LED indications are not consistent across all
Eclipse products. The orange LED indicates connectivity (on for a valid connection)
and the green LED flashes to indicate traffic activity.

The output relay is a 4 pole, double throw; it has four independent switch contact
sets, where the pole (common) connection on each set switches between NO (nor-
mally open) and NC (normally closed) contacts. Note that the relays may be con-
figured to be energized or de-energized on receipt of an alarm event.
lActive Condition De-energized requires an alarm event to release the relay.
lActive Condition Energized requires an alarm event to energize the relay.
