Operator Health and Safety
The following table describes the precautions that relate to installing or working on an
Eclipse radio.
Topic Information
Equipment
Protrusions
Eclipse 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 an antenna or ODU during installation or
maintenance. A large antenna with its 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
Eclipse radio transceivers do 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 28.
Safety Warnings When a practice or procedure poses implied or potential harm to the user or to the
Eclipse equipment, a warning is included in this manual.
AVIAT NETWORKS JULY 2018 27
CHAPTER 2HEALTH AND SAFETY
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 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 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. Unused slots on
the INU/INUe must be fitted with a blanking panel.
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.
28 JULY 2018 AVIAT NETWORKS
HEALTH AND SAFETY CHAPTER 2
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:
Locate the antenna such that it does not infringe the RF exposure
guidelines for general public. Refer to General Public Compliance
Boundary in RF Exposure Guidelines on page 32.
Stay aware of the potential risk of RF exposure and take appropriate
precautions. Refer to Occupational Compliance Boundary in RF
Exposure Guidelines on page 32.
Do not stand in front of or look into an antenna without first ensuring the
associated transmitter or transmitters are switched off.
Do not look into waveguide or into the waveguide port of an RFU 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.
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 grounding of waveguide, ODU cable, lightning
surge suppressor, ODU, and indoor unit.
There must be no switching or disconnecting devices fitted in ground
conductors.
Lightning Surge
Suppressor
Eclipse ODU cables must be fitted with the specified surge suppressor at
the ODU unless the ODU has a built-in suppressor.
AVIAT NETWORKS JULY 2018 29

Topic Information
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 Eclipse indoor units and
outdoor units is +55° C (131° F). Special conditions apply to the INUs - for
more information see Power Consumption within INU Power Supply on
page 103. 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 INU/INUe 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.
For IRU 600 variants that require a separate wide-mouth +/-21 to
+/-60 Vdc power supply connection, 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 d.c. supply source must be located within the same premises as the
equipment.
Connection to D.C. Supply
Ground
CAUTION: The Eclipse INU/INUe and IDUs have a connection
between the earthed conductor of the d.c. supply circuit and the
earthing conductor.
This equipment must be connected directly to the d.c. supply system
grounding electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from a grounding
terminal bar or bus to which the d.c. supply system grounding electrode is
connected.
Switching or disconnecting devices must not be in the grounded circuit
conductor between the d.c. source and the point of connection of the
grounding electrode conductor.
This equipment must be located in the same immediate area (such as,
adjacent cabinets) as any other equipment that has a connection between
the grounded conductor of the same d.c. supply circuit and the grounding
conductor, and also the point of grounding of the d.c. system. The d.c.
system shall not be grounded elsewhere.
Power Supply
Disconnect
An appropriate disconnect device for the -48 Vdc or +24 Vdc power supply
unit must 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 the
tower and antenna location must be restricted

information, refer to the Aviat Networks 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, antenna feeder
or IDU/ODU cable, cable grounding, equipment grounding, tower and building grounds,
weatherproofing, lightning surge suppressors, 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 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 using the Portal or ProVision alarm and performance
indicators.
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:
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.
AVIAT NETWORKS JULY 2018 37
CHAPTER 2HEALTH AND SAFETY
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.

Eclipse Node and Packet Node
Eclipse Node supports multiple radio links from a common indoor unit with airlink
throughput capacities to 366 Mbit/s Ethernet, 100xE1, 127xDS1, 4xDS3, STM1+1E1, or
2xSTM1/OC3.
Eclipse Packet Node adds a data packet plane (DPP) to support Gigabit Ethernet
throughputs, plus the traffic and capacity options provided on Eclipse Node.
Both Eclipse Node and Packet Node use common rack-mounted indoor units, the INU and
INUe, and either ODUs for split-mount operation, or an IRU 600 for all-indoor operation.
Operation on licensed bands extends from 4 to 38 GHz. Operation on the license-free 5.8
GHz ISM band is supported for North America and Canada.
Path, equipment, and data protection options support comprehensive link, network and data
redundancy.
Plug-in cards on the INU and INUe provide a wide choice of user interfaces and link
operation. Options include:
lIP/Ethernet
lSynchronous Ethernet
lE1/DS1
lE3/DS3
lSTM1/OC3
lFixed or adaptive modulation
lHot-standby, space diversity, frequency diversity, dual diversity
lCCDP/XPIC (co-channel dual polarized with cross-pol interference cancellation)
The node-based concept eliminates most ancillary equipment and external cabling, and
offers smooth upgrade paths for next generation networks.
Operation is supported by Portal and ProVision. Portal is a PC-based craft tool, ProVision is
the element management system (EMS).

RAC 70 supports DPP (Data Packet Plane) and ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation)
options. RAC 70 additionally supports airlink recovered timing (ART) for high accuracy radio
transport of a SyncE clock.
There are ten dynamically switched modulation rates; QPSK, 16 QAM, 32 QAM, 64 QAM, 128
QAM, 256 QAM, 512 QAM, 1024 QAM, 2048 QAM and 4096 QAM, (2048 QAM and 4096 QAM
are only available with the ODU 600v2 or IRU 600v4).
lAll of the 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.
Payload encryption is a licensed option (this is the same license as for the RAC
60/6x/60E/6xE).
Individual ACM modulations can be set as fixed rates. These are complemented by fixed-
only rates for TDM capacities (DS1). DS3 and OC3 are not supported by the RAC 70.
Channel bandwidths range from 10 to 80 MHz ANSI. Air-link capacities for Ethernet, or for
Ethernet+TDM, extend to 715 Mbit/s. TDM options extend to 127xDS1.
ART operation is designed to meet G.8262 synchronization mask requirements for SyncE
clock transport.
RAC 70 interfaces to an ODU 600, or to the IRU 600.

RAC 60 and RAC 60E
RAC 60 supports DPP (Data Packet Plane) and ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation)
options. RAC 60E additionally supports 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 GE/GE3.
Individual ACM modulations can be set as fixed rates. These are complemented by fixed-
only rates for TDM capacities (E1/DS1, DS3, STM1/OC3) .
Channel bandwidths range from 5 to 56 MHz ETSI, and 3.5 to 80 MHz ANSI.
Air-link capacities for Ethernet, or for Ethernet+TDM, extend to 366 Mbit/s.

Figure 26. PCC
Protection Options
The Nodes offer link, interface, network, and platform protection options:
Link/Path Protection
Hot-standby, space diversity, frequency diversity, or dual protection options are available.
All RACs and their companion ODU or IRU 600 are protectable.
RAC 70/7X does not support frequency diversity protection.
Rx path switching (voting) is hitless/errorless; Tx switching is not hitless.
A remote Tx switch is forced in the event of a silent Tx failure.
Interface Protection
Ethernet, E1/DS1, E3/DS3 and STM1/OC3 interfaces can be hot-standby protected using
paired (stacked) DACs.
The protectable DACs are DAC GE3, DAC 16x V2/V3, DAC E3/DS3, DAC 3xE3/DS3M, DAC
155o, DAC 2x155o, DAC 2x155e, DAC 155oM, DAC 155eM.
The NCM is also protectable using paired NCMs.
TDM Interfaces
For TDM DACs and for NCM front panel tributaries two interface protection configurations
are supported, tributary protection and always-on:
Tributary Protection
lY-cables connect the paired DACs/NCMs to customer equipment. (Y-cable
protection is not supported for DAC 155eM).
lIn the Rx direction (from the customer) both DACs/NCMs receive data, but only
the online Rx DAC/NCM sends this data to the backplane bus.
lIn the Tx direction, the online Tx DAC/NCM sends data to customer equipment, the
other mutes its Tx line interface.
lThe connected equipment is not involved in the protection process.
AVIAT NETWORKS JULY 2018 53
CHAPTER 3SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Tributary Always-On
lSeparate cables connect each DAC/NCM to customer equipment.
lIn the Rx direction (from the customer) both DACs/NCMs receive data, but only
the online Rx DAC/NCM sends this data to the backplane bus.
lIn the transmit direction both DACs/NCMs send data to customer equipment, and
the customer equipment switches between these two always-on tributaries.
lProtection switching is not hitless. Typical restoration times are between 80 ms
and 120 ms.
Network/Data Protection
Ethernet ring and ladder network protection is provided using RSTP or ERP options.
Ethernet data redundancy is provided on link-aggregated links using L1 or L2 options.
PDH ring network protection is provided using Eclipse E1/DS1 Loopswitch or Super PDH
(SPDHTM) configurations.
Ethernet Ring and Ladder Networks
Eclipse DAC GE3 supports two ring protection mechanisms, Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP,
ITU-T G.8032v2) and RSTP (IEEE 802.1w).
ERP is a fast-acting automatic protection switching (APS) protocol for Ethernet ring
topologies. Features include:
Ethernet Link Aggregation Protection
Traffic redundancy is supported on co-channel Ethernet links using L1 or L2 link
aggregation options. 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,
appropriate QoS settings can be used to ensure security for all higher priority traffic.
Loop Switch Ring Protection
Loop switch operation employs the NCM for ring capacities to 50xE1 or 63xDS1, with traffic
switching at the local node level.
Operation is based on redundant east/west facing rings.
lTraffic inserted into a local tributary is transmitted in east and west directions to
create a bi-directional ring.
lAt a drop site traffic is selected from either the east or west direction. If the
selected direction fails, the opposite direction is automatically switched into
service.
lOne or more radio paths can be replaced by a fiber or coax span using the DAC
54 JULY 2018 AVIAT NETWORKS
SYSTEM OVERVIEW CHAPTER 3
155oM or DAC 3xE3/DS3M.
lThe operational mode is low latency, non-hitless.
Super PDH Ring Protection
Super PDHTM supports ring capacities to 64xE1 or 84xDS1, with traffic switching at the node
level using a ring wrapping technique.
Operation is based on east/west facing rings, one nominated as clockwise, the other anti-
clockwise.
lUnder normal no-fault conditions, all traffic is passed on the clockwise primary
ring.
lWhen 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.
lOne or more radio paths can be replaced by a fiber span using the DAC 155oM.
lOperation 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.
lBus protection protects all circuit/tributary traffic (alarm I/O is not protected).
lPower supply protection protects against 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.
Eclipse Packet Node and Data Packet Plane
Data Packet Plane
DPP operation is enabled via direct cable connection between the front panel packet data
port on a RAC 70, RAC 60/60E, RAC 6X/6XE, and a front-panel port on a DAC GE3/GE.
Customer traffic connected to the DACs is bridged to the RACs, and then to the RF
transceiver; the split-mount ODU 300hp or ODU 600, or the all-indoor IRU 600.
Where required, customer data can also be sourced via the circuit-switched backplane,
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 a Packet Node
wireless link; GigE IP traffic via the DPP, and TDM traffic via the backplane.

CHAPTER 3SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Advanced Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)
Advanced ACM options are provided using RAC 70, RAC 60/60E or RAC 6X/6XE plug-ins.
lAdaptive modulation maximizes use of available channel bandwidth.
lCoding is used to extend throughput granularity by providing maximum throughput
or maximum system gain options on each adaptive modulation rate.
lACM operation requires a 2.048 or 1.544 Mbps Bus Connection Size.
RAC 70 Adaptive Modulation (AM)
AM uses one of ten automatically and dynamically switched modulations - QPSK, 16 QAM,
32 QAM, 64 QAM, 128 QAM, 256 QAM, 512 QAM, 1024 QAM, 2048 QAM or 4096 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.
The adaptive modulation engine ensures that the highest modulation and hence highest
throughput is always provided based on link quality.
Modulation switching is hitless/errorless.
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.
lAll high priority traffic, such as voice and video, continues to get through when
path conditions are poor and modulation/capacity is reduced.
lWhen path conditions are normal (good) best-effort lower priority traffic, such as
email and file transfers, enjoy data bandwidths that can be up to four times the
guaranteed (QPSK) bandwidth.
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 connections.
lE1/DS1 connections are dropped in user-specified order when link capacity 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.
56 JULY 2018 AVIAT NETWORKS
SYSTEM OVERVIEW CHAPTER 3
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.
lThe four modulation rates support near-linear 2x, 3x, 4x capacity steps.
lThe 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.
lEven where just one modulation rate is required/permitted, the coding option
supports two-step AM operation, one for maximum throughput, one for maximum
gain.

RFU.
Tx Coaxial Switch: IRU 600v4, IRU 600v3 and IRU 600v2
Primary benefits of the Tx coaxial switch are reduced power loss and faster Tx protection
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. See ACU
Losses, IRU 600 on page 1.
lFor details on average recovery times, see Appendix G.
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.
lWith MHSB operation both A-side and B-side transmit are fully monitored in real
time.
lWith a Tx mute configured on the offline Tx, its Tx status can be monitored though a
health monitoring facility whereby the Tx is turned on, checked and turned off
again. The turn-on period is adjustable between 0 (no health monitoring) and 240 in
1 hour increments.
lThe Mute Tx Offline selection is made in the RAC 70, RAC 60/60E/6x/6XE plug-ins

lProtected operation for MHSB and MHSB/SD configurations uses a Tx coaxial
switch and an Rx coupler. Switch connection is via a DIN5 connector.
oThe DIN5 connector is located on the right side of the RFUs together with the
SMA connector for RF cable connection to the ACU/Coax switch.
lINU (RAC 70, RAC 60E/6XE) connection is via a front panel SMA connector. An

IRU 600 Compatibility
IRU 600(v1) and IRU 600v2 share a common 3RU chassis. Dimensions and mounting points
for V1 and V2 RFUs and ACUs are identical.
IRU 600v3/v4 is housed in a compact 2RU chassis. While the ACU is unique to the V3, the V3
RFUs (Std/HP or EHP) can be used in V1 and V2 chassis using an adapter kit (Part No. 179-
530112-001).
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 for configurations not using a Tx switch eg.
FD, 2+0, SD split Tx, 1+0. Applies to V1 and V2 ACUs.
oIn protected HSB or HSB-ready systems with a V1 ACU (Tx combining), a V2
RFU can spare for a V1.
oOn V2 ACUs configured to use a Tx switch, the V1 RFU cannot spare for a V2
RFU.
oV2 HP RFUs require installation of a separate power supply connection (+/- 21
to 60 Vdc) to its front panel 2W2 power connector. A power cable is supplied
with the RFU.
lV3 RFUs can be installed in an IRU 600(v1) or IRU 600v2 chassis using an adapter
kit, which increases V3 RFU unit height to match the mounting points provided for
V1 and V2 RFUs.
oThe V3 RFU (with adapter kit installed) can be used in non-protected and

5.8 GHz Unlicensed Band
The RFU for the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band is common to the L6 licensed band 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 RFU is a high-power (HP) variant
oWith IRU 600v2 the HP RFU is used.
oWith IRU 600v3 the Std/HP RFU is used (the V3 EHP RFU is not presently
available for use on the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band).
nTo operate the V3 Std/HP RFU at high Tx power, an HP license must be
installed.
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.
NOTE: 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 the relevant parts of FCC CFR47,
Part 15.407, 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:
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.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW CHAPTER 3
oOperation is designed to meet all regulatory requirements associated with 47
CFR Part 15.407. As such, deployment is precluded within 0.5 Mhz of the band
edges to comply with band edge emission requirements.
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).
lModulation can be adaptive (QPSK to 256 QAM), or fixed.
lSupports Ethernet and/or NxDS1, NxDS3, or OC3 payloads, with air-link
capacities to 189 Mbit/s (30 MHz Ch BW).
lThe common 5.8 GHz and L6 RFU supports easy migration from one band to the
other (from unlicensed to licensed and vice-versa).
oRFUs can be retained during migration, but ACU must be replaced (not re-
tuned).
lExtensive protection and diversity options.
lOutput power (at 5.8 GHz) is limited to 29 dBm at the antenna port to ensure
compliance with the FCC 1 Watt rule.
lFor Tx power, power control, 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.
lIRU 600 5.8 GHz operation is narrow-band (max 30 MHz) high-power; 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 the 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.

lNode-based licensing is required for DPP operation and for feature licensing.
lFeature Licensing applies on selected Node features. The licensed features are:
oEZF-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.
oEZF-02: Adaptive Modulation (RAC 70, RAC 60/60E, RAC 6X/6XE). Packet Node
adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) dynamically switches between
modulation selections.QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM, 256 QAM, 512 QAM, or 1024
QAM (2048 QAM, and 4096 QAM also on the RAC 70/7X). For the RAC
60/6X/60E/6XE, 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.
oEZF-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.
oEZF-04: Payload Encryption (RAC 70, RAC 60/60E, 6X/6XE). Encrypts all traffic
and management data over the wireless link to prevent eavesdropping.
oEZF-05: Ethernet over TDM (DS3, E1, DS1). Enables mapping of Ethernet data

CHAPTER 3SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Eclipse Power Supply
Eclipse is designed to operate from a -48Vdc power supply (+ve earth) but will operate to
specification over a voltage range of -40.5 to -60Vdc.
A plug-in PCC option for the INU 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.
The PCC supports:
lUp to a 200W in air-conditioned installations (ambient max 250C / 770F).
lUp to a 150W in non-air-conditioned installations (ambient max 450C / 113oF).
NOTE: An external +24 Vdc to -48 Vdc converter can be used instead of
the PCC. Contact Aviat Networks for details.
The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
output (60Vdc maximum limited).

CHAPTER 5IRU 600 INSTALLATION
IRU 600 Compatibility
IRU 600v1 and IRU 600v2 share a common 3 RU chassis. Dimensions and mounting points
for V1 and V2 RFUs and ACUs are identical.
IRU 600v3 and IRU 600v4 are housed in a compact 2 RU chassis. While the ACU is unique to
each of the V3 and V4, the V3 and V4 RFUs (SP/HP or EHP) can be used in V1 and V2 chassis
with existing v1 or v2 ACU using an adapter kit (Part N° 179-530112-002) for V3 and (Part N°
179-530508-001) for V4.
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 ACUs). RFU V1
cannot control the Tx coaxial switch. This means that:
oV1, V2 RFUs are interchangeable for configurations not using a Tx switch e.g.
FD, 2+0, SD split Tx, 1+0. Applies to V1 and V2 ACUs.
oIn protected HSB or HSB-ready systems with a V1 ACU (Tx using mute/unmute
instead of using an RF Tx switch), a V2 RFU can spare for a V1 by alternatively
using mute/unmute instead of attempting to control an RF Tx switch like a v2
RFU normally does.
oOn V2 ACUs configured to use a Tx switch, the V1 RFU cannot spare for a V2
RFU.
oV2 HP RFUs require installation of a separate power supply connection (+/- 21
to 60 Vdc) to its front panel 2W2 power connector. A power cable is supplied
with the RFU.
lV3 and V4 RFUs can be installed in an IRU 600v1 or IRU 600v2 chassis using an
adapter kit, which increases the V3 or V4 RFU unit height to match the mounting
points provided for V1 and V2 RFUs.
oThe V3 or V4 RFU (with adapter kit installed) can be used in non-protected and
protected (HSB or HSB/SD) V1 and V2 chassis.
lIf installed in a 3 RMS chassis equipped with a V1 RFU, Tx combining applies for
MHSB and MHSB/SD configurations.
lIf installed in a 3 RMS chassis equipped with a V2 RFU, (with Tx protection switch)
lTx switching applies for MHSB and MHSB/SD configurations.
lIf a V3 or V4 SP/HP RFU is installed, an HP license must also be installed to
enable the high Tx power option on the RFU.
lIf a V3 or V4 EHP RFU is installed, a separate power supply connection (+/- 21 to
60 VDC) to its front panel 2W2 power connector is required. A power cable is
supplied with the RFU.

IRU 600 INSTALLATION CHAPTER 5
lV1 or V2 RFUs cannot be installed in a V3 chassis.
lV1 and V2 ACUs are interchangeable. The V3 or V4 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 or V4 chassis. Similarly, a V3 or V4
ACU cannot be installed in a V1 or V2 chassis.
lAll IRUs are over-air compatible when used with a same RAC on both sides of the
hop.
oFor example, a 1+0 IRU 600v1 may be linked to a 1+0 IRU 600v2 or IRU 600v3,
or IRU 600v4. Similarly, 1+1 HSB IRU 600v1 may be linked to a 1+1 HSB IRU
600v2 or IRU 600v3, or IRU 600v4. Hybrid configurations are also supported,
such as FD linked to SD.

IRU 600 INSTALLATION CHAPTER 5
install an INU/INUE/IDU GE3 16x.
oFor IRU 600v3/v4 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/v4 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/v4 removable post do not over-tighten. Thumb-
tighten only to avoid thread-striping.
Figure 35. 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.
Figure 36. Example Cabling Diagram on Rear of ACU Front Panel
lFor IRU 600v2 and IRU 600v3/v4 ACUs fitted with a Tx coaxial switch, fit the
RFU-to-switch cable assembly.
oFor IRU 600v3/v4 the 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.
AVIAT NETWORKS JULY 2018 91
CHAPTER 5IRU 600 INSTALLATION
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.
CAUTION: Check installation of DIN5 RFU cable connectors. The lock ring should home
with an audible click.
NOTE: Multiple voltage pules are used to energize the Tx switch relay.
lConnect the RFU(s) to the INU/INUe RAC 70, RAC 60/60E or RAC 6X/6XE card(s)
using the supplied IF cable(s). The minimum bend radius of the IF cable is 25
mm.
lFor the IRU 600v2 HP RFU and for the IRU 600v3/v4 EHP RFU, which are
additionally powered using a separate DC input on their front panel, refer to
Power Supply Connection on page 95 for DC power installation.

Figure 39. IRU 600v3/v4 Tx Switch and RFUv3 Connections
CAUTION: Ambient temperatures must not exceed 550C (1310F). If installed in a rack cabinet, it is
the ambient within the cabinet.
Chassis 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.
lGround 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.
lIf the equipment rack/frame requires grounding, use 16 mm2(AWG 6) wire
from its ground bar to the station ground.
NEBS Compliant Grounding
These grounding requirements apply for a NEBS compliant installation.
lGround the IRU 600 from the grounding stud to the rack/frame ground bar using
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).
lCoat all bare conductors with an appropriate antioxidant compound before
crimp connectors are fitted.
lEnsure all unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars are 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.
AVIAT NETWORKS JULY 2018 93
CHAPTER 5IRU 600 INSTALLATION
lWhere metallic raceway fittings are installed ensure all fittings are tightened to
provide a permanent low-impedance path.
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 Installation
For instructions on waveguide installation and associated pressurization and grounding
requirements, refer to the relevant documentation from the waveguide supplier. General
guidance can be found in Aviat Networks Best Practices Guide.
Waveguide Connection to ACU
Connect ACU antenna port(s) to waveguide(s) using flexible waveguide.
lInformation on required waveguide flanges and recommended waveguide types
are listed in the following table.
lRemove and discard any protective flange/port covers before installation.

Power Supply Connection
NOTE: The DC power supply must be SELV compliant (maximum limited
60 Vdc).
For IRU 600 power consumption figures refer to INU Power Supply on page 103.
Power Supply Requirements
RFUs not fitted with a front-panel D-Sub M/F 2W2 power connector are powered via the IF
cable from their associated INU/INUe. These are:
lStandard power IRU 600(v1) and IRU 600v2 RFUs
lStandard/High power IRU 600v3/v4 RFUs
RFUs fitted with a front-panel D-Sub M/F 2W2 power connector are additionally powered by
a front panel connector. These are:

CHAPTER 5IRU 600 INSTALLATION
lHigh power IRU 600(v1) and IRU 600v2 RFUs
lExtra high-power (EHP) IRU 600v3/v4 RFUs
lThe power connector and cable are identical to that used for the INU/INUe.
-48 Vdc and +24 Vdc Operation
The associated INU/INUe requires a -48Vdc power input. For operation from a +24 Vdc
power supply a +24 to -48 Vdc converter is required.
lThe plug-in PCC (Power Converter Card) can be installed to convert +24 Vdc to -48
Vdc for connection to the -48 Vdc connector on the NCC. Two PCCs are required if
an NPC is also installed.
oA PCC supports power consumption for the INU/INUe plus a maximum of
three V1 or V2 RFUs, or a maximum of two V3/V4 RFUs. See PCC +24 Vdc
Operation on page 1
lOtherwise a suitable external converter can be used - contact Aviat Networks for
details.
RFUs fitted with the front-panel D-Sub M/F 2W2 power connector support a wide-mouth +/-
21 to 60 Vdc connection.
lBoth +ve and -ve pins are isolated from ground. They can be powered from +24
Vdc or -48 Vdc supplies.
lThe integral DC/DC converter provides polarity protection, under/over voltage
shutdown, over-current limit, and thermal shutdown. There are no serviceable
fuses.
lRun the supplied power cable through to a dedicated circuit breaker on the rack
power connect panel.
oFor a -48 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to -48 Vdc (live), and the black wire
to ground/+ve. The circuit breaker should have rating of 3 A.
oFor a +24 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to +24 Vdc (live), and the black
wire to ground/-ve. The circuit breaker should have rating of 5 A.
oFor NEBS compliance the battery return connection is to be treated as an
isolated DC return (DC-I), as defined in GR-1089-CORE.
CAUTION: Use the RFU circuit breaker as the power connect/disconnect device - do not
use the front-panel 2W2 DC connector for live power connect/disconnect.
IRU 600(v1) and IRU 600v2
Standard power RFUs are powered over the IF cable from its INU/INUe.
High power RFUs (HP) are additionally powered using a separate DC input on their front
panel.
IRU 600v3
lThe Std/HP RFU is powered over the IF cable from its INU/INUe.
oThe RFU is SW configured for standard or high-power. High power operation
96 JULY 2018 AVIAT NETWORKS
IRU 600 INSTALLATION CHAPTER 5
requires installation of a feature license (EZF-61 to 66, or EZG-61 to 66).
lA feature license is not required for the EHP RFU.
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 (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 and IRU 600v3/v4 an additional label shows the insertion loss of the Tx
monitoring port. The value must be considered when measuring output power with a power
meter.
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.
lWhile the IRU 600 ACUs are specified to avoid placing undue constraints on
frequency planning for multiple carrier systems, the following conditional
requirements are intended to provide guidelines on the selection and installation
of branching frequencies and components.
oThe intermodulation frequency products that result from combining two or
more transmitter frequencies on a common antenna feeder should be 48 MHz
or more above or below each of the receiver frequencies present on the same
antenna feeder.
oSystems employing carrier frequencies with potential to cause
intermodulation products within 48 MHz of any of the receiver frequencies
present on the same antenna branching network (feeder) must be designed
and installed to mitigate the effects of such intermodulation products.
FAN Module
The fan units in an RFU are removable for service/replacement. Fan module replacement
is non-traffic affecting.
CAUTION: Fan module hazard - keep away from moving fan blades.
AVIAT NETWORKS JULY 2018 97
CHAPTER 5IRU 600 INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Handle the FAN module with care. Do not physically shock the module or touch
the fan impeller blades. Doing so can move the impeller off-center and cause premature
fan failure.
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.
oWhen replacing the fan tray ensure the supply cable is routed so it is not pinched
when the tray is fastened, and that during operation it cannot come into contact
with a fan.
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.
lIRU 600v3 fan speed is temperature-dependent.
NOTE: If one fan needs to be replaced, replace all fans.

INU Power Supply
INUs require a -48Vdc power supply (+ve earth) but will operate to specification over a
voltage range of -40.5 to -60Vdc.
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 a typical (maximum) float voltage for a battery-backed -48 Vdc supply.
Otherwise an external +24 to -48 Vdc converter can be used - contact Aviat Networks for
details.
The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
output (60Vdc maximum limited).
Voltage changes due to the regulation of the power supply must not exceed a change-rate
(linear variation slope) of 7 V/ms, as specified in TSI EN 300 132-2 V2.4.6. Applies over
variations between -40.5 Vdc to -57 Vdc.
Power Consumption and INU Load Maximums
Total power consumed is dependent on the number and type of plug-in cards, the number
and type of ODU(s) or IRU 600, plus for the ODUs, the frequency band.
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 and NPC, which supply various DC rails to the plug-in cards. Load maximums are also
dependent on the SW release in use, and the version of NCC and NPC installed. For more
information see Node Card Maximums below.
lODUs, IRU 600s and FANs are not powered via the NCC converter, meaning the
ODU and IRU 600 type does not impact INU link loading. Their DC supply is taken
from the -48 Vdc power supply input connector.
lHowever, if a PCC is installed for +24 Vdc operation, the INU cards and associated
ODUs or IRU 600s are supplied from the PCC, meaning PCC power limits are
AVIAT NETWORKS JULY 2018 103
CHAPTER 6INSTALLING THE INU AND INUE
determined by the INU cards and by the number and type of ODUs or IRU 600s
fitted.
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.
NOTE: A suitable external +24 Vdc to -48 Vdc converter can be used
instead of the PCC. Contact Aviat Networks for details.
Power Consumption
Power consumption figures are for a -48 Vdc supply voltage at normal room ambients.

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.
lThe loading maximums are designed to ensure systems will continue to operate
correctly in the event of failure of either the NCC or NPC.
From November 2012 new card maximums (loading rules) apply with the availability of
updated high-output NCC and NPC cards. These new cards have part numbers of EXN-003
and EXS-002 respectively.
lThe updated NCC and NPC cards are required where node loading exceeds 120W.
lThe prior NCC and NPC cards, those with part numbers EXN-002 and EXS-001
respectively, must only be retained where node loadings do not exceed 120W.
CAUTION: When planning the number and type of cards to be installed in an INUe or INU,
the following rules must be observed. These rules apply retrospectively (back to
software release 5.04).
CAUTION: The loading rules below must be observed by the installer - there is no built-in
mechanism to report or limit an incorrect dimensioning of power supply consumption.
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 55ºC
(131ºF):
lIf the total power consumption of all cards installed exceeds 85W, 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:
o120W with NCC EXN-002 and NPC EXS-001.
o125W with high-output NCC EXN-003 and NPC EXS-002.
oThe 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 applies whether or not an NPC and 2RU FAN are fitted.
CAUTION: 55ºC (131ºF) operation does not apply to the PCC. Operational ambient
temperatures with a PCC installed must not exceed 450C (1130F).
Install a suitable external +24 Vdc to -48 Vdc converter to avoid the PCC
operational ambient temperature limits. Contact Aviat Networks for details.

INSTALLING THE INU AND INUE CHAPTER 6
lA maximum of two DAC GE3 cards.
No improvements are introduced for the INU with 5.04 SW due to its use of smaller, lower
volume cooling fans.
NOTE: 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.
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:
oUp to 200W in air-conditioned installations (ambient max 250C / 770F)
oUp to 150W in non-air-conditioned installations (ambient max 450C / 113oF).
oRefer to power consumption figures above to determine a load maximum for a
particular configuration.
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 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 (ODU / IRU 600).
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.
oThe PCC should be installed next to the FAN card to get best air-flow cooling.
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
AVIAT NETWORKS JULY 2018 111
CHAPTER 6INSTALLING THE INU AND INUE
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.
NOTE: The PCC function can be replaced by a suitable external +24 Vdc to
-48 Vdc converter. Contact Aviat Networks for details.
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 nominally 5m (16ft), and
the wires are 4mm2 (AWG12).
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 43. Power Cable and Connector
CAUTION: Use the INU circuit breaker as the power connect/disconnect device - do not
use the front-panel 2W2 DC connector for live power connect/disconnect.
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 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.
112 JULY 2018 AVIAT NETWORKS
INSTALLING THE INU AND INUE CHAPTER 6
Fuses
The NCC and NPC are fitted with a fast-acting 25A fuse fitted on the PCB behind the power
cable connector. (Early production NCCs were fitted with a front panel fuse/switch with a
12.5A slow-blow fuse).
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.
NOTE: 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.
CAUTION: A heavily dust-laden filter will severely restrict fan air flow and may lead to
over-heating.
NOTE: 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. It is installed in the
INU/INUe to the right side of the FAN module, as illustrated 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.

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 IRU tall and 140 mm 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.

The INU/INUe is specified for a maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) of
+55°Celsius (131° Fahrenheit). Conditions apply - see INU Power Supply on
page 103. 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/INUe PWR modules have the +ve pin on their 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.
The power supply must have an accessible power disconnect device (main
switch).
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.
D.C. Supply Ground Con-
nection
The INU/INUe has a connection between the earthed conductor of the d.c.
supply circuit and the earthing conductor.
The INU/INUe must be connected directly to the d.c. supply system grounding
electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from a grounding terminal bar or
bus to which the d.c. supply system grounding electrode is connected.
Switching or disconnecting devices must not be in the grounded circuit
conductor between the d.c. source and the point of connection of the

The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for a SELV output (60Vdc
maximum).
Check to ensure that connection of an INU/INUe to a new or existing dc
supply does not overload the supply, circuit protection devices and wiring.
The INU/INUe and optional NPC module must each be supported from a
dedicated circuit breaker located on their rack power distribution panel.
The circuit breaker(s) should have a rating of:
12A for the INU, and for optional NPC
25A for the INUe, and for optional NPC
15A for the PCC
The circuit breaker(s) must be used as the INU/INUe power
connect/disconnect devices - do not use the front panel connectors as
connect/disconnect devices.
For NEBS compliance the battery return connection is to be treated as a
common DC return (DC-C), as defined in GR-1089-CORE.
Cable routing INU/INUe Cat5, 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.
Chassis Grounding The INU/INUe chassis 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/INUe 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.
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 inter-
vals 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.
Compact Flash Card
Compatibility
Where plug-in cards such as RAC 60E, RAC 6XE , DAC GE3, are to be
installed into an existing INU, first ensure the Compact Flash card fitted
in the NCC will support the required capacity. See Compact Flash Card
on page 1.
NCC Compatibility Where a higher capacity Compact Flash Card is to be installed into an existing
INU/NCC (NCC V2) to support RAC 60E, RAC 6XE, DAC GE3 operation, first
ensure NCC compatibility with higher capacity Compact Flash cards. See
Compact Flash Card on page 1.
For information on NCC V1 / NCC V2 compatibility refer to Plug-in Installation
Requirements on page 121.

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.

CHAPTER 6INSTALLING THE INU AND INUE
Installation
Procedure
lFit 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.
lLocate the INU/INUe in the equipment rack and secure it using four No.12
Phillips dome-head screws from the IDC installation kit.
lGround 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.
lIf 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 IRU INU and IRU
INUe. See FAN Air Filter Option on page 113.
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).
118 JULY 2018 AVIAT NETWORKS
INSTALLING THE INU AND INUE CHAPTER 6
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 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.
lInstall 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. See See "Plug-in Slot
Configuration", and Plug-in Installation Requirements on page 121.
oIf a FAN air filter is required, fit it prior to inserting the FAN.
oInstall the CompactFlash card in the NCC; insert in the socket on the right
side of the PCB.
lFor an ODU, fit the supplied jumper cable between the RAC and ODU cable, or
where required to a lightning surge arrestor. See Arrestor Installation at
Building Entry on page 1. Secure the cable within the rack/frame using cable
ties or similar. If the jumper cable is too short, make an extension cable. See
Jumper Cables on page 1.
lFor an IRU 600, fit the supplied jumper cable between the RAC and companion
IRU 600 RFU.
lFit the DAC tributary cables. For information on the tributary cable sets, refer to
See "INU/INUe and IDU Connector and Cable Data"
NOTE: 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 tributary 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 installing the power cable and preparing for
power-on. Do not connect the power until all steps have been completed.
lRun 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 25A 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 INU Power
Supply on page 103.
lFor a -48 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to -48Vdc (live), and the black wire
to ground/+ve. (Power input on the NCC and NPC is polarity protected).
lFor a +24 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to +24Vdc (live), and the black wire
AVIAT NETWORKS JULY 2018 119
CHAPTER 6INSTALLING THE INU AND INUE
to ground/-ve. (Power input on the PCC is polarity protected).
lMeasure the voltage on the dc power connector.
oFor -48 Vdc operation the voltage should be -48Vdc, +/-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).
NOTE: 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 (60V 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.
lCarry out a complete check of the installation. When all is checked and correct,
the INU is 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 radio frequency units 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 ODUs/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.
lTurn 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.
The Eclipse INU is ready for configuration and antenna alignment.

For information on user-interface connector and cable data, refer to INU/INUe and IDU
Connector and Cable Data on page 1.
Table 15. 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, NCM, and AUX plug-ins can be fitted in any universal
slot.
Restricted slots
7-9 on an INUe
DAC, NCM, 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.

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.
Do not over-tighten fasteners. Hand-tighten or use only light
screwdriver pressure.
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.
NCCs
NCC Versions There are two NCC versions: V1 and V2.
NCC V2 is recognized by the 4-port Ethernet NMS assembly, no
front panel fuse holder, and a 2W2C D-series power connector.
NCC V1 (obsolete) has a three port Ethernet NMS assembly, a
front panel fuse holder, and a small two-pin power connector.
The latest software version to support NCC V1 is 5.01.44. If
attempts are made to upgrade an INU with an NCC V1 to 6.0
software, the action will not be executed; the software load will
fail and the NCC will remain at the version it was originally
loaded with.
Operation and inter-operation parameters for these two versions
are as follows:
NCC V1 and NCC V2 can be used within the same network.
NCC V1 is only suitable for the INU. It will not operate in the
INUe. NCC V2 supports both INU and INUe.
NCC V1 only supports the power supply redundancy capability
of the NPC plug-in option. It does not support NPC redundancy
for backplane bus management (bus clock). NCC V2 supports
NPC redundancy for power supply and backplane bus
management.

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 ODU cable.
Similarly, before inserting an RAC, always reconnect the ODU
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 INU Power Supply on
page 103.)
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:
- 2 Mbit/s / E1
- 1.5 Mbit/s / DS1
- 8 Mbit/s / E3
- 3 Mbit/s / DS3
- 155 Mbit/s / STM1/OC3
Mux version DACs allow a mix of interfaces from a common E1 or
DS1 backplane configuration.
Increasing node capacity To achieve a greater node capacity, two or more INUs can be
interconnected via a DAC option.
