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.
Eclipse fiber optic transmitters are IEC60825-1 / 21CFR1040-1 Class I compliant
Laser and Fiber
Optic Cable Hazards 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
100 kg (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

HEALTH AND SAFETY
CHAPTER 2
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.
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.
EMC
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.

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 GR1089-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
AVIAT NETWORKS
Eclipse ODU cables must be fitted with the specified surge suppressor at
the ODU unless the ODU has a built-in suppressor.

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
-48 Vdc power supply which has a +ve ground; the power supply ground
conductor is the +ve supply to the radio. For NEBS compliance the battery
return connection is to be treated as a common DC return (DC-C), as defined
in GR-1089-CORE.
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 GR1089-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.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
CHAPTER 2
Routine Inspection and Maintenance
This section overviews required and recommended inspection and maintenance practices to
ensure health and safety of installed equipment is maintained to highest levels. For more
information, refer to the Aviat 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:
Reducing receive signal levels
Gradually increasing bit errors or an increasing errored seconds count
Changes in transmit power
Increased frequency of rain fade or other fade conditions
Increasing occurrence of other weather related changes in performance
Increasing 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.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
CHAPTER 2
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:
IP/Ethernet
Synchronous Ethernet
E1/DS1
E3/DS3
STM1/OC3
Fixed or adaptive modulation
Hot-standby, space diversity, frequency diversity, dual diversity
CCDP/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
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).
All of the modulation states offered with ACM can be selected for use.
Modulation 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 fixedonly 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.
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.
Modulation 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 fixedonly 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.

Tributary Always-On
Separate cables connect each DAC/NCM to customer equipment.
In 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.
In the transmit direction both DACs/NCMs send data to customer equipment, and
the customer equipment switches between these two always-on tributaries.
Protection 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.
54
Traffic inserted into a local tributary is transmitted in east and west directions to
create a bi-directional ring.
At 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.
One or more radio paths can be replaced by a fiber or coax span using the DAC

CHAPTER 3
155oM or DAC 3xE3/DS3M.
The operational mode is low latency, non-hitless.
Super PDH Ring Protection
TM
Super PDH 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 anticlockwise.
Under normal no-fault conditions, all traffic is passed on the clockwise primary
ring.
When a fault occurs, the secondary, anti-clockwise ring, provides the protection
capacity needed. Traffic is looped onto the secondary ring at one side of the break
point, and off at the other side, to bypass the break.
One or more radio paths can be replaced by a fiber span using the DAC 155oM.
Operation 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 protects all circuit/tributary traffic (alarm I/O is not protected).
Power 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.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
CHAPTER 3
Advanced Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)
Advanced ACM options are provided using RAC 70, RAC 60/60E or RAC 6X/6XE plug-ins.
Adaptive modulation maximizes use of available channel bandwidth.
Coding is used to extend throughput granularity by providing maximum throughput
or maximum system gain options on each adaptive modulation rate.
ACM 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.
All high priority traffic, such as voice and video, continues to get through when
path conditions are poor and modulation/capacity is reduced.
When 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.
E1/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:
With four modulation rates, each can be set for maximum throughput or
maximum gain.
With 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.
With 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
supports two-step AM operation, one for maximum throughput, one for maximum
gain.

Eclipse supports flexible customization of traffic type, traffic capacity, and traffic protection
for up to three links using the INU, and to six links using the INUe.

IRU 600v2 and IRU 600(v1)
Both support two RFU variants, a standard Tx power (Std) RFU, and a high Tx power (HP)
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.
It avoids the losses associated with a Tx coupler/combiner.
With the Tx coaxial switch (relay) there is no A-side versus B-side
consideration required as the loss is not more than 0.5 dB on both. See ACU
Losses, IRU 600 on page 1.
For 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.
With MHSB operation both A-side and B-side transmit are fully monitored in real
time.
With 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.
The Mute Tx Offline selection is made in the RAC 70, RAC 60/60E/6x/6XE plug-ins
screen.
RFUs
RFUv4 (IRU 600v4)
There are two RFU variants, standard/high Tx power (SP/HP), and extra high Tx

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. 179530112-001).
The following use guidelines apply:
V1 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:
V1, 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.
In protected HSB or HSB-ready systems with a V1 ACU (Tx combining), a V2
RFU can spare for a V1.
On V2 ACUs configured to use a Tx switch, the V1 RFU cannot spare for a V2
RFU.
V2 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.
V3 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.
72
The V3 RFU (with adapter kit installed) can be used in non-protected and
protected (HSB or HSB/SD) V1 and V2 chassis.
If installed in a V1 chassis Tx combining applies for HSB and HSB/SD
configurations.
If installed in a V2 chassis (with Tx protection switch) Tx switching applies
for HSB and HSB/SD configurations.
If a V3 Std/HP RFU is installed, an HP license must also be installed to
enable the high Tx power option on the RFU.
If a V3 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.
V1 or V2 RFUs cannot be installed in a V3 chassis.
V1 and V2 ACUs are interchangeable. The V3 ACU is not.
A V1 ACU can be installed in a V2 chassis, and vice-versa.

All IRUs are over-air compatible. 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. Hybrid configurations are also supported,
such as FD linked to SD split Tx.
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
179-530508-001) for V4.
The following use guidelines apply:
V1 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:
V1, 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.
In 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.
On V2 ACUs configured to use a Tx switch, the V1 RFU cannot spare for a V2
RFU.
V2 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.
V3 and V4 RFUs can be installed in an IRU 600v1 or IRU 600v2 chassis using an

If installed in a 3 RMS chassis equipped with a V1 RFU, Tx combining applies for
MHSB and MHSB/SD configurations.
If installed in a 3 RMS chassis equipped with a V2 RFU, (with Tx protection switch)
Tx switching applies for MHSB and MHSB/SD configurations.
If 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.
If a V3 or V4 EHP RFU is installed, a separate power supply connection (+/- 21 to

such as FD linked to SD
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.
The RFU is a high-power (HP) variant
With IRU 600v2 the HP RFU is used.
With 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).
To operate the V3 Std/HP RFU at high Tx power, an HP license must be
installed.
The 5.8 GHz unlicensed band is designed to support easy and fast deployment.
With a suitable antenna, installation can be 'immediate'.
The common 5.8 GHz / L6 RFU design means subsequent conversion to L6
licensed operation only requires replacement of the ACU.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Operation 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.
Bandwidths 5, 10, 20, or 30 MHz.
Tx and Rx can be paired on different sub-bands (Tx on one 30 MHz sub-band, RX on
the other).
Modulation can be adaptive (QPSK to 256 QAM), or fixed.
Supports Ethernet and/or NxDS1, NxDS3, or OC3 payloads, with air-link
capacities to 189 Mbit/s (30 MHz Ch BW).
The common 5.8 GHz and L6 RFU supports easy migration from one band to the
other (from unlicensed to licensed and vice-versa).
CHAPTER 3
RFUs can be retained during migration, but ACU must be replaced (not retuned).
Extensive protection and diversity options.
Output power (at 5.8 GHz) is limited to 29 dBm at the antenna port to ensure
compliance with the FCC 1 Watt rule.
For 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.
IRU 600 5.8 GHz operation is narrow-band (max 30 MHz) high-power; it
competes/shares spectrum with other narrow-band links and with spreadspectrum links.
Performance could deteriorate over time with the introduction of other links in the
same geographical area.
Antennas must be approved (FCC or Industry Canada) for the 5.8 GHz unlicensed
band.

Eclipse Licensing
Eclipse Node, IDU GE3 16x, IDU GE 20x, IDU ES, and IDU 300 20xV2 are subject to capacity
licensing. Eclipse Node and IDU GE3 16x are additionally subject to feature licensing on
advanced features.
Feature license operation is software release dependent. Ensure you have the relevant
software release installed. Refer to Licensing Requirements and Options on page 1.
INUs:
Flexible Node-based Licensing applies for Eclipse Node and Packet Node to
replace/complement RAC-based licensing.
Node-based licensing requires SW release 5.0 or later. (SW 5.0 or later must be
installed in a Node before installing or upgrading to Node-based licensing).
Node-based licensing is required for DPP operation and for feature licensing.
Feature Licensing applies on selected Node features. The licensed features are:
EZF-01: Layer 1 Link Aggregation (DAC GE). Traffic is between the links on a
byte-by-byte basis, based on the capacity of the links. Unlike L2, it is fully
effective for just one active session, such as between routers, or where there
are only a few concurrent sessions.
EZF-02: Adaptive Modulation (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.
EZF-03: Secure Management (NMS). Applies to Eclipse NMS access over the
network, and to local access via the Portal craft tool. It also enables secure
management access to Eclipse over an unsecured network, and protects
Eclipse configurations from accidental or intentional modification by
unauthorized personnel.
EZF-04: Payload Encryption (RAC 70, RAC 60/60E, 6X/6XE). Encrypts all traffic
and management data over the wireless link to prevent eavesdropping.
EZF-05: Ethernet over TDM (DS3, E1, DS1). Enables mapping of Ethernet data
to DS3, E1, or DS1 PDH interfaces using the DAC 3xDS3M or DAC 16x V2/V3.
Supports transport of Ethernet data over existing DS3 or NxE1/DS1 radio or
leased-line circuits.

Eclipse Configuration and Management
Eclipse is a software-driven product; there are no manual controls. Configuration and
management is achieved via Portal and ProVision.
Portal is a PC based configuration and diagnostics tool for Eclipse.
ProVision is the Eclipse network element manager. ProVision also supports other Aviat
Networks products, including legacy products.
Portal is supported in the Eclipse system software, such that once installed on a PC, it
automatically downloads support from the radio as needed to ensure Portal always
matches the version of system software supplied, or subsequently downloaded in any radio
upgrade.
Portal has the look and feel of a Windows environment with screen-based views and
prompts for all configuration and diagnostic attributes.
A Portal PC connects to an INU/INUe/IDU using Ethernet or V.24 options.
For more information see Introduction to Portal.
ProVision is the network element manager for all Aviat Networks radios (current and
legacy). ProVision also supports partner products, including multiplexors, switches,
routers, and power systems.
ProVision is installed on a Windows or Solaris server, typically at a network operating
center, and communicates with network elements using standard LAN/WAN IP addressing
and routing; each radio has its own unique IP address.
For more information about ProVision, refer to the Aviat Networks ProVision User Guide.
Secure Access from Portal and ProVision is enabled through the Secure Management and

Eclipse Power Supply
Eclipse is designed to operate from a -48 Vdc power supply (+ve earth) but will operate to
specification over a voltage range of -40.5 to -60 Vdc.
A plug-in PCC option 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:
Up to a 200W in air-conditioned installations (ambient max 250 C / 770 F).
Up to a 150W in non-air-conditioned installations (ambient max 450 C / 113oF).

IRU 600 INSTALLATION
CHAPTER 5
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:
V1 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:
V1, 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.
In 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.
On V2 ACUs configured to use a Tx switch, the V1 RFU cannot spare for a V2
RFU.
V2 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.
V3 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.
If installed in a 3 RMS chassis equipped with a V1 RFU, Tx combining applies for
MHSB and MHSB/SD configurations.
If installed in a 3 RMS chassis equipped with a V2 RFU, (with Tx protection switch)
Tx switching applies for MHSB and MHSB/SD configurations.
88
The V3 or V4 RFU (with adapter kit installed) can be used in non-protected and
protected (HSB or HSB/SD) V1 and V2 chassis.
If 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.
If 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
V1 or V2 RFUs cannot be installed in a V3 chassis.
V1 and V2 ACUs are interchangeable. The V3 or V4 ACU is not.
A V1 ACU can be installed in a V2 chassis, and vice-versa.
V1 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.
All IRUs are over-air compatible when used with a same RAC on both sides of the
hop.
For 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.

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.
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.
If 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.
Ground 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).
Coat all bare conductors with an appropriate antioxidant compound before
crimp connectors are fitted.
Ensure 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.

IRU 600 INSTALLATION
CHAPTER 5
Where metallic raceway fittings are installed ensure all fittings are tightened to
provide a permanent low-impedance path.
Safety Requirements for Equipment Grounding
Do not assume that an existing rack or mounting frame is correctly grounded.
Always check the integrity of the ground connections, which must include a check
through to the master ground for the station, which should be located at the point
of cable entry to the equipment building. Ground wires must provide a direct, low
impedance path to the master ground bar.
Do 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.
The 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.
All intra-building signal cabling must be shielded, and both ends of each shield
must be grounded.
There 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.
Information on required waveguide flanges and recommended waveguide types
are listed in the following table.

Extra high-power (EHP) IRU 600v3/v4 RFUs
The 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.
The 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.
A 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
Otherwise 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.
Both +ve and -ve pins are isolated from ground. They can be powered from +24
Vdc or -48 Vdc supplies.
The integral DC/DC converter provides polarity protection, under/over voltage
shutdown, over-current limit, and thermal shutdown. There are no serviceable
fuses.
Run the supplied power cable through to a dedicated circuit breaker on the rack
power connect panel.
For 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.
For 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.
For 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.

CHAPTER 5
requires installation of a feature license (EZF-61 to 66, or EZG-61 to 66).
A 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.
While 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.
The 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.
Systems 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

IRU 600 INSTALLATION
CHAPTER 5
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.
For IRU 600(v1) and IRU 600v2 a fan cover is removed to expose the two fans.
Removal and replacement is per-fan.
For the IRU 600v3 the four fans are located on a removable/replaceable frontcover fan tray.
To remove, unscrew the fan tray fasteners, ease outwards, and carefully disconnect the rear cable connector. Fan replacement is per-tray.
When 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.
Fan operation is monitored. Each fan has a matching alarm.
For IRU 600(v1) and IRU 600v2 both fans are operated at a fixed speed.
IRU 600v3 fan speed is temperature-dependent.
N O TE: If one fan needs to be r eplac ed, r eplac e all fans .

CAUTION: With the increase in the capabilities and complexity of some new plug-in
modules, such as RAC 60E, RAC 6XE, DAC GE3, Compact Flash cards with increased
capacity are required. See Compact Flash Card on page 1.
CAUTION: Do not turn power off within 10 minutes of initial INU/INUe turn-on, or initial
turn-on after a new compact flash card is installed.
CAUTION: There must be a minimum of 50 mm (2”) of side spacing from the INU/INUe to
any rack panels, cable bundles or similar, and 50 mm (2”) of space to the front and back
of the RF section to ensure proper ventilation.

CHAPTER 6
INU/INUe Description
The INU/INUe is a rack-mounted unit that pairs with one or more ODUs or one or more IRU
600s to make an Eclipse Node.
An INU/INUe comprises a chassis (IDC/IDCe) and plug-ins.
The IDC/IDCe has dedicated slots for the NCC and FAN plug-ins, and either four slots (IDC)
or ten slots (IDCe) available for optional RAC, DAC, AUX and NPC plug-ins.

INU Power Supply
INUs require a -48 Vdc power supply (+ve earth) but will operate to specification over a
voltage range of -40.5 to -60 Vdc.
The return (+ve) pin on the NCC and NPC power supply connectors is clamped to chassis
ground via polarity-protecting power FETs.
NCC and NPC power inputs are reverse polarity protected (the input fuse will not
blow if polarity is reversed).
For NEBS compliance the battery return connection is to be treated as a common DC return
(DC-C), as defined in GR-1089-CORE.
Where operation from a +24 Vdc PSU is required, the plug-in PCC option provides voltage
conversion from + 24 (19 to 36) Vdc to -56 Vdc for connection to the NCC -48Vdc input. -56
Vdc represents a typical (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 (60 Vdc 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.
ODUs, 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.
However, 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

A PCC should always be installed to receive maximum FAN cooling. This means it

supply load sharing with the NCC, allowing the overall loading to be increased.
Should the NPC fail, airflow from the 2RU FAN is increased to compensate.
Extended FAN failure/impairment detection is included. For example, an alarm
will be raised on a reduction in fan speed (RPM), such as can occur as a result of
bearing wear/friction.
The 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.
The updated NCC and NPC cards are required where node loading exceeds 120W.
The 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):
If 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.
With this configuration confirmed (NPC + 2RU FAN + 5.04 SW or later) the
maximum INUe loading enabled is:
120W with NCC EXN-002 and NPC EXS-001.
125W with high-output NCC EXN-003 and NPC EXS-002.
The installed total of DAC GE3 cards must not exceed four.
If an earlier version of SW is loaded, the maximum INUe loading allowed is 85
Watts. This 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.

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.
One PCC supports:
Up to 200W in air-conditioned installations (ambient max 250 C / 770 F)
Up to 150W in non-air-conditioned installations (ambient max 450 C / 113oF).
The PCC +ve and -ve input terminals are isolated from chassis (ground). The -ve
input is grounded by the -ve grounded power supply connection.
The PCC 20A fuse is fitted in the +ve input. It is a PCB mount type and is not field
replaceable.
Reverse polarity protection is provided. The PCC will automatically recover from
a reverse polarity connection - the fuse will not blow. Over temperature thermal
protection is included.
The PCC 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).
When 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.
The PCC must be connected to the NCC before applying power to the PCC to avoid
a current-inrush trip (overload) on the PCC.
The PCC can be plugged into any INU/INUe option slot. It is not connected to the
backplane and its function is not monitored within Portal.
Refer to power consumption figures above to determine a load maximum for a
particular configuration.
The PCC should be installed next to the FAN card to get best air-flow cooling.
Where an NPC is fitted, two PCCs are required for +24 Vdc operation, one for the
NCC, the other for the NPC. This means an INUe must be used for NCC + NPC

INU/INUe Installation Requirements
Table 14. INU/INUe Installation Requirements
Function/Requirement
Restricted access
Priority
Details
The INU/INUe and its associated dc power supply must be installed in a
restricted access area such as a secure equipment room, closet, or cabinet.
For NEBS compliance this equates to installation of the INU/INUe in a secure,
restricted access central office (CO) or customer premises (CP) location.
Required Rack Space
The INU requires 44.5 mm (1RU) of vertical rack space and 300 mm rack
depth. The INUe requires 89mm (2RU) vertical rack space and 300 mm rack
depth.
Ventilation
INU/INUe requires unobstructed air passage to each side for ventilation
purposes. There must be a minimum of 50 mm (2”) of side spacing to any rack
panels, cable bundles or similar. No space above or below is required for
ventilation purposes.
Maximum Ambient
Temperature
The INU/INUe is specified for a maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) of
+55° Celsius (131° Fahrenheit). Conditions apply - see INU Power Supply 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 -48 Vdc 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 Connection
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
grounding electrode conductor.

Details
Equipment Location
INU/INUe 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.
Location of D.C. Power Supply
The d.c. supply source for INU/INUe must be located within the same
premises as the INU/INUe.
D.C. Supply Compliance,
Loading and Protection
The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for a SELV output (60 Vdc
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:
12 A for the INU, and for optional NPC
25 A 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 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.
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.

(NEBS Compliance)
Intrabuilding ports MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089CORE, 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 6
Installation
Procedure
Fit the rack mounting ears to the chassis with the grounding stud to left or right
side for the most direct ground wire path to the rack ground bar.
Locate the INU/INUe in the equipment rack and secure it using four No.12
Phillips dome-head screws from the IDC installation kit.
Ground the INU/INUe from the grounding stud to the rack/frame ground bar
using a length of 4 mm2 (AWG 12) green PVC insulated stranded copper wire
with a suitably sized ground lug at 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.
If the equipment rack/frame requires grounding, use 16 mm2 (AWG 6) wire
from its ground bar to the station ground.
Grounding Safety:
Do not assume that an existing rack or mounting frame is correctly grounded.
Always check the integrity of the ground connections, which must include a
check through to the master ground for the station, which should be located at
the point of cable entry to the equipment building. Ground wires must provide a
direct, low impedance path to the master ground bar.
Do 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.
The 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:

Install the fan air filter option. Options are available for the IRU INU and IRU
INUe. See FAN Air Filter Option on page 113.
Install 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.
To 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).

All unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars must be brought to a
bright finish and then coated with an antioxidant before they are connected. This
does not apply to tinned, solder-plated, or silver-plated connectors and other
plated connection surfaces – but all must be clean and free of contaminants.
All raceway fittings must be tightened to provide a permanent low-impedance

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.
Run the supplied power cable through to the power pick up point, which will
normally be at a circuit breaker panel in the rack. A circuit breaker (or fuse)
should have a capacity of 12 A for the INU and 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 INU Power
Supply on page 103.
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).

If 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.
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.
Where 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 55 0C (131 0F). If installed in a rack

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
