The following table describes the precautions that relate to installing or working on
the Eclipse radio.
Topic Information
Equipment
Protrusions
The equipment has been designed to be free of unnecessary protrusions or
sharp surfaces that may catch or otherwise cause injury during handling.
However, always take care when working on or around the equipment.
Laser and Fiber
Optic Cable Hazards
Eclipse fiber optic transmitters are IEC60825-1 / 21CFR1040-1 Class I
compliant and present no danger to personnel in normal use. However:
Do not look into active unterminated optical ports or fibers. If visual
inspection is required ensure the equipment is turned off or, if a fiber cable,
disconnect the far end.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using an optical test set.
Incorrect calibration or control settings could result in hazardous levels of
radiation.
Protect/cover unconnected optical fiber connectors with dust caps.
Place all optical fiber cuttings in a suitable container for safe disposal. Bare
fibers and fiber scraps can easily penetrate the skin and eyes.
Lifting Equipment Be careful when hoisting or lifting the antenna during installation or
maintenance. Antennas with their mounting hardware can weigh in excess
of 100kg (220 lb) and require specialized lifting equipment and an operator
trained and certified in its use.
Protection from RF
Exposure: Eclipse
To ensure compliance with the FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure
requirements, a minimum distance of 18 meters must be maintained
between the antenna and any persons whilst the unit is operational.
Safety Warnings When a practice or procedure poses implied or potential harm to the user or
to the radio equipment, a warning is included in this manual.
260-668066-004 AUGUST 2013 7
VOLUME I, CHAPTER 1, HEALTH AND SAFETY
General Hazards
The following table describes the general hazards that must be addressed when plan-
ning and installing an Eclipse system.
For more information on health and safety when using Aviat Networks products,
refer to the Best Practices Guide.
Topic Information
Airflow Requirements Rack installations must be made so the airflow required for safe and
correct operation of Eclipse is not compromised. For the fan-cooled
Eclipse INUs, 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.
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.
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.

ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Topic Information
Protection from RF
Exposure
To ensure compliance with the FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure
requirements, a minimum distance of 18 meters must be maintained
between the antenna and any persons whilst the unit is operational.
When installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna always comply
with the following:
- Do not stand in front of or look into an antenna without first
ensuring the associated transmitter or transmitters are switched
off.
- At a multi-antenna site ask the site owner or operator for details
of other radio services active at the site and for their require-
ments/recommendations for protection against potentially harm-
ful exposure to RF radiation.
- When it is not possible to switch transmitters off at a multi-
antenna site and there is potential for exposure to harmful levels
of RF radiation, wear a protective suit.
- Do not look into the waveguide port of an ODU or into an unter-
minated waveguide when the radio is active.
Fiber Optic Cables Handle optical fibers with care. Keep them in a safe and secure
location during installation.
Do not attempt to bend them beyond their minimum bend radius.
Protect/cover unconnected optical fiber connectors with dust caps.
Ground Connections Reliable grounding of the Eclipse system must be maintained. Refer
to instructions in the manual for equipment grounding.
There must be no switching or disconnecting devices fitted in ground
conductors.
Mains Power Supply
Routing
Eclipse dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to be
routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept away
from any power lines which cross them.
Maximum Ambient
Temperature
The maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) for Eclipse indoor units
is +55° C (131° F). Special conditions apply to the INUs - for more
information see Power Consumption within Power Supply on page
72. 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.
260-668066-004 AUGUST 2013 9
VOLUME I, CHAPTER 1, HEALTH AND SAFETY
Topic Information
Power Supply
Connection
The Eclipse INUs have the +ve pin on their dc power supply
connector connected to chassis ground. It must be used with a
-48Vdc power supply which has a +ve ground; the power supply
ground conductor is the +ve supply to the radio.
There must be no switching or disconnecting devices in this ground
conductor between the dc power supply and the point of connection
to an Eclipse system.
The power supply for an Eclipse system must be located in the same
premises as the Eclipse system.
Power Supply
Disconnect
An appropriate power supply disconnect device should be provided as
part of the building installation.
Rack Mount Temperature
Considerations
If the Eclipse indoor unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. The maximum
ambient temperature applies to the immediate operating
environment of the Eclipse indoor unit, which, if installed in a rack, is
the ambient within the rack.
Restricted Access The Eclipse system must be installed in restricted access sites. The
indoor unit and associated power supply must be installed in
restricted areas, such as dedicated equipment rooms, closets,
cabinets, or the like. Access to a tower and antenna location must be
restricted
NOTE: For USA:
In restricted access areas install the Eclipse system in accordance
with articles 110-26 and 110-27 of the 2002 National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or to any subsequent update to this code for
the relevant articles.

ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Routine Inspection and Maintenance
This section overviews required and recommended inspection and maintenance prac-
tices to ensure health and safety of installed equipment is maintained to highest
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 oper-
ating conditions such as particularly exposed sites, or sites subject to salt-spray or
heavy snow/ice loading over winter months.
The inspection should cover the physical installation including the antenna, wave-
guide, waveguide pressurization installation, equipment grounding, tower and build-
ing grounds, weatherproofing, and general site integrity.
Selected ground wires should be resistance checked and then compared with pre-
vious checks to ensure there has been no significant change.
The operational performance of the radio and associated equipment should be
checked against their as-built figures using the Portal or ProVision alarm and per-
formance indicators.
Trend Analysis
Use available current and historical Eclipse alarm and performance data to determ-
ine 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.
260-668066-004 AUGUST 2013 11
VOLUME I, CHAPTER 1, HEALTH 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.

Plug-in cards for the INU or INUe enable quick and easy customization on Eclipse
configurations. All cards are hot-pluggable.
RACs support the radio modem function. In the transmit direction they take the
digital traffic from the backplane or data packet plane and convert it to an IF signal
for connection to an ODU 600. The reverse occurs in the receive direction.
lOne RAC/ODU 600 combination is used for a 1+0 link.
lTwo RACs with two ODUs are used for 1+1 hot-standby or diversity links.
lRACs control TX switching and RX voting on protected / diversity links.
DACs support the user interface.
lDifferent DACs support Ethernet, DS1, DS3, and OC3 connections.
lMultiplexer DACs support transport of OC3 or DS3 with NxDS1 rates.
lEthernet DACs support a L2 switch function. DAC GE3 supports advanced
options for Synchronous Ethernet, ring/mesh protection, QoS, buffer
management, link aggregation, VLAN tagging, and OAM.
lMost DACs can be protected using a stacked (paired) configuration.
lDS1, DS3, and OC3 DACs support Ethernet-over-TDM options to enable
Ethernet transport over legacy TDM radio or leased-line links.
AUX (Auxiliary card) supports async or sync service-channel connections, and
alarm I/O options for connection to external devices.

RAC 60E
RAC 60E supports DPP (Data Packet Plane) operation, ACM (Adaptive Coding and
Modulation), and airlink recovered timing (ART) for high accuracy radio transport of
a SyncE clock.
There are four dynamically switched modulation rates; QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM,
256 QAM. Coding options additionally apply on each of these modulations, one for
maximum throughput, one for maximum gain, to provide an effective total of eight
modulation states.
lMaximum throughput delivers maximum data throughput - at the expense of
some system gain.
lMaximum gain delivers best system gain - at the expense of some throughput.
lUp to four of the eight modulation states offered with ACM can be selected for
use.
lModulation switching (state change) is errorless for priority traffic.
A DPP port enables direct routing of Ethernet traffic to a DAC GE3.
Individual ACM modulations can be set as fixed rates.
Channel bandwidths for ISM band operation range from 5 to 40 MHz.
ART operation is designed to meet G.8262 synchronization mask requirements for
SyncE clock transport.

PCC
The PCC provides a voltage conversion function for use at 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.
Figure 1-19. PCC
Data Packet Plane
The high-performance data packet plane (DPP) operates independently of the back-
plane.
The DPP is enabled via direct cable connection between the front panel packet data
port on a RAC 60E, and a front-panel port on a DAC GE3. Customer traffic con-
nected to the DACs is bridged to the RACs, and then to the RF transceiver; the ODU
600.
Where required, customer data can also be sourced via the circuit-switched back-
plane, meaning both the DPP and backplane can be used to source/send traffic. This
has special relevance where native mixed-mode IP + TDM traffic is to be sent over an
Eclipse wireless link; GigE IP traffic via the DPP, and TDM traffic via the backplane.
Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)
Advanced ACM options are provided using RAC 60E plug-in.
24 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
lAdaptive modulation maximizes use of available channel bandwidth.
lCoding provides options for maximum throughput or maximum system gain
on each modulation rate.
Adaptive Modulation (AM)
AM uses one of four automatically and dynamically switched modulations - QPSK,
16 QAM, 64 QAM, or 256 QAM. For a given RF channel bandwidth a two-fold
improvement in data throughput is provided for a change from QPSK to 16 QAM, a
three-fold improvement to 64 QAM, and a four-fold improvement to 256 QAM.
In many instances the link parameters that supported the original system gain can
be retained. For example, the antenna sizes and Tx power used for an original QPSK
link on a 7 MHz channel are unchanged when operated on 256 QAM using adaptive
modulation. The adaptive modulation engine ensures that the highest throughput is
always provided based on link quality.
Modulation switching is hitless/errorless. During a change to a lower modulation,
remaining higher priority traffic is not affected. Similarly, existing traffic is unaf-
fected during a change to a higher modulation.
Note that while adaptive modulation can also be used on PDH links and combined
PDH and Ethernet links, unlike Ethernet there is no QoS synergy on PDH con-
nections.
Ethernet connections enjoy real synergy through the QoS awareness on the DAC GE3
GigE switch, and the service provisioning provided by any MPLS or PBB-TE network
overlay. All high priority traffic, such as voice and video, continues to get through
when path conditions are poor. Outside these conditions 'best effort' lower priority
traffic, such as email and file transfers enjoy data bandwidths that can be up to four
times the guaranteed bandwidth.
DS1 connections by comparison are dropped in user-specified order when link capa-
city is reduced, and restored when capacity is increased.
Coding
Modulation code options provide two sets of modulation states, one for maximum
throughput, the other for maximum gain. These apply on each of the modulation
rates (QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM, 256 QAM) to provide a total of eight modulation
states.
Maximum throughput delivers maximum data throughput - at the expense of some
system gain.
Maximum gain delivers best system gain - at the expense of some throughput.
Up to four of the eight modulation states offered with ACM can be selected for use.
For example:
lWith four modulation rates, each can be set for maximum throughput or
maximum gain.
260-668066-004 AUGUST 2013 25
VOLUME II, CHAPTER 1, SYSTEM OVERVIEW
lWith three modulation rates, such as 16 QAM, 64 QAM, 256 QAM, one rate
(any) can be set for maximum gain and additionally for maximum
throughput, to provide four step AM operation.
lWith two modulation rates, such as 16 QAM (or 64 QAM) with 256 QAM,
each can be set for maximum gain and additionally for maximum throughput,
to provide four step AM operation.
This feature provides a practical trade-off between capacity and system gain to fine-
tune link performance. It provides best balance on AM operation.
The four modulation rates support near-linear 2x, 3x, 4x capacity steps.
The coding options allow capacity/gain variations on these rates to always support
up to four steps, even when just two of the possible four modulation rates are in use,
or are permitted.
Even where just one modulation rate is required/permitted, the coding option sup-
ports two-step AM operation, one for maximum throughput, one for maximum gain.

ODU 600 for 5.8 GHz ISM Band
ODU 600 supports fixed modulation or adaptive modulation (with RAC 60E).
lLicense-based upgrades enable transition from Tx standard power to high
power Flexible Power Mode (FPM).
lODU 600 is supplied with diplexers for Tx high or Tx low working.
lODU 600 is designed for direct-antenna mounting, but can be remote
mounted using an ODU remote-mount kit.
lEqual-loss and unequal-loss direct-mounting couplers are available for hot-
standby or frequency diversity single antenna operation.
5.8 GHz Unlicensed Band
Eclipse INUs with ODU 600 are compliant with FCC CFR47, Part 15.247, and
Industry Canada RSS-210 Annex 8, on ISM frequency band 5725 to 5850 MHz. Inter-
national use is not supported; the system does not employ DFS and as such cannot
be deployed within Europe or any country where DFS is a regulatory requirement for
protection of radars.
Features and Capabilities:
lBandwidths 5, 10, 20, 30, or 40 MHz.
lAdaptive or fixed modulation options.
lSupports Ethernet and/or NxDS1 payloads, with air-link capacities to 254
Mbps (40 MHz Ch BW).
lHot-standby and diversity protection options.
lOutput power is limited to 28 dBm at the waveguide port to ensure
compliance with the FCC 1 Watt rule.
lFor Tx power and system gain figures, see the Eclipse ODU 600 datasheet.
Operational Limitations and Restrictions
Unlicensed band operation means sharing the air-space with other operators of unli-
censed band links. Interference is possible.
lODU 600 5.8 GHz operation is 'narrow-band'; it competes/shares spectrum
with other narrow-band links and with spread-spectrum links.
lPerformance could deteriorate over time with the introduction of other links in
the same geographical area.
lAntennas must be approved (FCC or Industry Canada) for 5.8 GHz unlicensed
band.

VOLUME II, CHAPTER 1, SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Protection Options
Eclipse supports link, interface, network, and platform protection options:
Link/Path Protection
Hot-standby, space diversity, or frequency diversity options are supported.
Rx voting is hitless/errorless; Tx switching is not hitless. The maximum restoration
time for a Tx switch is 200 ms.
A remote Tx switch is forced in the event of a silent Tx failure.
Interface Protection
DS1, DS3 and OC3 interfaces can be hot-standby protected using paired (stacked)
DACs.
The protectable DACs are DAC 16x V2, DAC 3xDS3, DAC 3xDS3M, DAC 2x155o,
DAC 2x155e, DAC 155oM.
When a switch occurs, all Tx and/or Rx tributaries are switched to the protection
partner.
Two protection configurations are supported, tributary protection, and always-on:
Tributary Protection
lY cables connect the paired DACs to customer equipment.
lIn the Rx direction (from the customer) both DACs receive data, but only the
online
Rx DAC sends this data to the TDM bus.
lIn the Tx direction, the online Tx DAC sends data to customer equipment, the
other mutes its Tx line interface.
Tributary Always-On
lSeparate cables connect each DAC to customer equipment.
lIn the Rx direction (from the customer) both DACs receive data, but only the
online Rx DAC sends this data to the TDM bus.
lIn the transmit direction both DACs send data to customer equipment, and
the customer equipment switches between these two always-on tributaries.
Protection switching is not hitless. The maximum restoration time for a Tx or Rx trib
switch is 200 ms. Typical restoration times are between 80 ms and 120 ms.

ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Network/Data Protection
lEthernet ring network protection is supported on DAC GE3 using ERP (ITU-T
8032v2 Ethernet Ring Protection) or RSTP (IEEE 802.1w).
lEthernet data redundancy is supported on L1 and L2 link-aggregated links
(DAC GE3).
lPDH ring protection is supported by an DS1 loopswitch capability, or a ring-
wrap Super PDH (SPDH) option.
Ethernet Ring and Mesh Networks
ERP uses standard Ethernet bridging and OAM protocols and OAM automatic pro-
tection switching (APS) messaging to provide a fast-acting protection mechanism for
ring networks.
RSTP uses a development of the spanning tree protocol (STP) to prevent network
loops and provide path redundancy.
Ethernet Link Aggregation (N+0 Protection)
Traffic redundancy is supported on co-path Ethernet links using L1 or L2 link aggreg-
ation. If one link fails its traffic is recovered on the remaining link or links. While the
reduced bandwidth may result in some traffic loss for low-priority traffic, appro-
priate QoS settings should ensure security for all higher priority traffic.
PDH Ring Protection
Eclipse supports two DS1 ring protection mechanisms, loop-switch and SPDH.
lThe loop-switch function configures a bi-directional redundant ring with a
hitless switching capability. Rings can be configured using RACs, and
PDH/SDH mux DACs.
lSPDH uses a ring-wrap mechanism formed on east/west facing RAC/RAC or
RAC/DAC 155oM combinations. Switching is not hitless.
Platform Protection
Platform management functions provided by the NCC are protected using the NPC
option to protect essential Backplane Bus and power supply functions.
Bus Protection
lProtects all circuit/tributary traffic. Alarm I/O is not protected.
lSwitching is not hitless for an NCC bus clock failure; restoration is within 200
ms, during which time all traffic on the NTU is affected.
lWhen the bus clock has switched to NPC control, it will not automatically
revert to NCC control on restoration of the NCC. Return to NCC control
requires either withdrawal/failure of the NPC, or use of diagnostic commands.
260-668066-004 AUGUST 2013 31
VOLUME II, CHAPTER 1, SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Power Supply Protection
lProtection is hitless for an NCC power supply failure. If the NCC converter or
one of its supply rails fails, the NPC will take over without interruption. And
vice versa.
lWith an NPC installed, the NCC can be withdrawn and replaced without
further impacting traffic.
lFor 24 Vdc operation two PCCs are required for platform protection, one each
for the NCC and NPC.

Licensing
Eclipse is subject to capacity and feature licensing.
Capacity Licensing
Capacity licensing is INU and INUe based (node-based). A single license applies
across all installed RACs installed in an INU/INUe.
lLicensed capacity ranges from 50 Mbps with license EZE-08001, to 2 Gbps
with license EZE-08010
lCapacity license is auto-allocated or user-allocated between installed RACs.
lUpgrade licenses are available to increase existing capacity supported on a
node.
Node Feature Licensing
Feature licenses provide access to extended Eclipse functionality.
lA feature license is a node-based license - it applies across all relevant cards
installed in the node.
lWhen a feature is required on a new node it is ordered together with the
capacity license for the node.
lFeature licenses can be separately ordered as upgrades on existing nodes.
Node Feature Overview
Feature Licenses:
EZF-01: Layer 1 Link Aggregation (DAC GE3)
L1 link aggregation (L1LA) splits traffic between links on a byte-segment basis.
It supports higher burst capacities compared to L2 link aggregation - throughput
can burst to the aggregated total capacity, unlike L2 link aggregation.
L1LA (like L2 link aggregation) supports redundancy - data from a failed link is dir-
ected onto the remaining link, or links.
L1LA on DAC GE3 is modulation-aware; load re-balancing occurs on modulation
change under adaptive modulation.
EZF-02: Adaptive Modulation (RAC 60E)
Modulation is automatically and dynamically switched between modulation selec-
tions.

EZF-03: Secure Management (NMS)
Secure Management applies to Eclipse NMS access over the network, and to local
access via the Portal craft tool.
lProvides secure management access to Eclipse over an unsecured network.
lProtects Eclipse configurations from accidental or intentional modification by
unauthorized personnel.
lKeeps track of all events for accountability.
lBased on FIPS 140-2 validated algorithms.
EZF-04: Payload Encryption (RAC 60E)
Payload Encryption encrypts payload and management data on the wireless link to
prevent eavesdropping.
lChecks integrity of each data frame in the wireless link to ensure that received
data has been sent by the intended transmitter.
lProvides the same level of security as Wi-Fi and WiMAX.
lFIPS-197 compliant.
lCan be enabled/disabled independently for each wireless link.
lMeets US federal and commercial requirements.
EZF-05: Ethernet over TDM (DS3, DS1)
Enables mapping of Ethernet data to DS3, DS1 PDH interfaces using the DAC
3xDS3M or DAC 16xV2. Applies where a customer wishes to transport Ethernet data
over existing DS3 or NxDS1 radio or leased-line circuits.
lEthernet data from the Eclipse backplane is mapped into a DS3 frame as DS1
(1.544 Mbps) multiples to a maximum 28xDS1, to support a maximum data
rate (available bandwidth for Ethernet) of 43 (43.232) Mbps per DS3. The DS3
connection must support unframed/transparent DS3.
lEthernet data is mapped into NxDS1 frames at 1.544 Mbps per DS1 to a
maximum 16xDS1 on the DAC 16xV2, to support a maximum data rate
(available bandwidth for Ethernet) of 24 (24.7) Mbps.

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 down-
loaded 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 using Ethernet or V.24 options.
For more information refer to the Eclipse Configuration Guide.
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 oper-
ating center, and communicates with network elements using standard LAN/WAN
IP addressing and routing; each radio has its own unique IP address.
For more information, refer to the Aviat Networks ProVision User Guide.
Secure Access from Portal and ProVision is enabled through the Secure Management
and RADIUS Client strong security options.

Power Supply
Eclipse is designed to operate from a -48Vdc power supply (+ve earth) but will oper-
ate to specification over a voltage range of -40.5 to -60Vdc.
A plug-in PCC option provides a voltage conversion function for locations where the
power supply is +24 Vdc. It converts +24 (19 to 36) Vdc to -56 Vdc for connection to
the INU -48Vdc input. -56 Vdc represents the typical float voltage for a battery-
backed -48 Vdc supply.
One PCC supports a maximum three ODUs, plus any combination of RACs and
DACs.
The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) output (60Vdc maximum limited).

Installing a Coupler
Refer to:
lCoupler Overview on page 45
lCoupler Installation Procedure on page 45
lUnused and Disconnected Coupler Ports on page 47
Coupler Overview
Couplers for protected hot-standby operation are available for equal loss or unequal
loss.
lFor equal loss the attenuation per side is nominally 3.5 dB (3.5 / 3.5 dB),
which applies to both the transmit and receive directions, meaning the
additional total one-way attenuation compared to a non-protected link is 7
dB.
lFor unequal loss the attenuation is nominally 1.5/6.5 dB.
When using a coupler to combine two ODUs onto a single polarization, the operating
channels must be chosen from within the same diplexer option. If the two ODUs are
not from the same tuning/diplexer option then interference may occur, resulting in
degraded link performance.
For informati on on unequal coupl er (combiner) rationale r efer
to the Best Practices Guide.
5.8 GHz coupler waveguide flanges have a UAR70 6 hole (IEC) pattern flange on the
ODU ports and UDR on the antenna-facing port.
Coupler Installation Procedure
A coupler installation guide is included wi th each coupl er.
The following procedure summarizes installation of a direct-mounted coupler. A
coupler may also be remote-mounted, with a single flexible waveguide used to con-
nect the coupler to its antenna.
Attaching a Direct-Mounted Coupler
Before installing a coupler check there will be sufficient mechanical clearance for the
coupler and its ODUs. There should be no clearance issues using Aviat Networks’
approved antennas when installed correctly on its mount with the appropriate left or
260-668066-004 AUGUST 2013 45
VOLUME III, CHAPTER 2, ODU INSTALLATION
right offset. However care must be taken at locations where a non-standard antenna
installation is required.
The ODUs are attached to the coupler as if attaching to an antenna except that there
is no polarization rotator associated with each ODU. Rather the coupler polarization
is set to match the V or H antenna polarization using 0 degree or 90 degree coupler
interfaces, which are supplied with the coupler. Couplers are default fitted with the
vertical polarization interface.
A coupler must always be installed onto its antenna before ODUs are attached to the
coupler.
The coupler type is the Aviat Networks OCU (ODU Coupler Unit), which is supplied
as a kitset for local assembly. The kitset includes assembly instructions.
Installation Procedure
For a vertically polarized antenna proceed to step 2. For a horizontally polarized
antenna begin at step 1. Polarization setting is described in Setting the Polarization
on page 50.
1. Assemble the coupler (OCU) according to the instructions provided.
2. Check the polarization required. Change/replace the interface in accordance
with the instructions provided.
3. Remove all protective tape from the waveguide ports and check that the
ODU/coupler mounting collar, polarization rotator, coupler interface and O-
ring, are undamaged, clean, and dry. Ensure the correct O-ring is fitted for
the OCU.
4. Apply a thin layer of silicon grease around the coupler interface O-ring. A
tube of silicon grease is included in ODU and coupler installation kits.
5. Fully loosen the nuts on the four coupler mounting bolts.
6. Position the coupler so the waveguide slots (coupler and rotator) will be
aligned when the ODU is rotated to its end position.
7. Fit the coupler onto its mounting collar by inserting the bolts through
receptor holes in the collar, then rotate the coupler clockwise to bring the
mounting bolts hard up against the slot ends.
8. Carefully bring the coupler forward to fully engage the coupler feed head
with the polarization rotator in the mounting collar.
9. Finger-tighten the four nuts, checking to ensure correct engagement of
coupler with mounting collar.
10. Ensure the coupler bolt-down points are correctly seated, then tighten the
four nuts with an open-ended 19mm (3/4”) spanner.
11. To remove a coupler, reverse this procedure.
Related procedures are:
Installing the ODUs; refer to Direct-Mount ODU Attachment Procedure on page 52.
Note that when attaching an ODU to a coupler there is no requirement to first set a
polarization; the ODUs are simply attached such that when rotated into position
there is correct alignment of the waveguide slots. When fitting the ODUs ensure cor-
rect cable exit - the ODU cable must exit facing down.

lThe rotator is an integral part of the antenna mount. Vertical polarization is
the default setting.
lThe V and H settings are indicated on the rotator head.
Remote-Mounted ODUs are used where standard antennas are used (antennas
are not fitted with the Eclipse mounting collar).
lAntenna installation for V or H polarization is normally determined by the
orientation of the waveguide port / slot.
lTo remote mount an ODU, refer to Remote-Mounted ODUs on page 53.
lThis figure shows antenna waveguide port (slot) orientation for vertical and
horizontal polarization settings.
Figure 2-5. Antenna Waveguide Slot Orientation for V and H Polarization
ODU Rotator Procedure
If the ODU rotator is not set for the required polarization, you must adjust its ori-
entation. This topic describes typical adjustment procedures for Andrew antennas.
Similar procedures apply to other antennas approved by Aviat Networks. Instruc-
tions are included with all antennas.
To change the polarization of the Andrew antenna:
1. Release (do not completely undo) the six metric Allen-head screws approximately
10mm (3/8”). Pull the collar forward and hold the rotator back, which will allow the
rotator to disengage from a notch in the collar, and turn freely.
2. Turn the rotator hub 90° until it locates back into a notched “timing recess” in the
collar.
3. Check that the timing mark on the rotator hub has aligned with either a V or an H
on the collar to confirm polarization as shown below.
4. Ensure the rotator hub is correctly seated within its collar, then push the collar
back against the antenna mount and re-tighten the six screws.

Remote-Mounted ODUs
Refer to:
lRemote-Mount Overview on page 53
lRemote-Mount Installation Procedure on page 55
lWaveguide Flange Data: ODUs on page 56
Remote-Mount Overview
The ODU 600 can be installed separate from its antenna, using a remote-mount to
support the ODU, and a flexible-waveguide to connect the ODU to its antenna:
The remote mount allows use of standard, single or dual polarization antennas.
260-668066-004 AUGUST 2013 53
VOLUME III, CHAPTER 2, ODU INSTALLATION
The mount can also be used to remotely support a protected ODU pairing installed
on a coupler. The coupler connects to the remote mount assembly in the same way
as an ODU.
The remote mount clamps to a standard 112mm (4”) pole-mount, and is common to
all frequency bands. The figure below shows an ODU installed on a remote mount.
Two versions of the remote mount are available, a cast unit (as shown) and a stain-
less steel unit.
Figure 2-8. Remote Mount
Flexible waveguides are frequency band specific and are normally available in two
lengths, 600mm (2ft) or 900 mm (3ft). Both flange ends are identical, and are
grooved for a half-thickness gasket, which is supplied with the waveguide, along
with flange mounting bolts.
To prevent wind-flex, a flexible waveguide or coax must be suitably fastened or sup-
ported over its length. Where it is not possible to fasten directly to the support struc-
ture, hanger assemblies are recommended, comprising a stainless steel clamp,
threaded rod and a form-fit rubber grommet. The figure below shows a typical
assembly.
Figure 2-9. Flexible Waveguide Hanger Assembly
Flexible waveguide and hanger kit options are available.
54 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
The f l exible waveguides have tin-plated brass flanges to min-
imize dissimilar-metal corrosion between the aluminum feed-
head on the ODU and the brass antenna port(s) used on most
standar d antennas.
Where a flexible-wavegui de length greater than the 900 mm
(3 ft) maximum i ncluded in the Eclipse Accessories list is
needed, contact the Aviat Networks Help Desk.

flange.
2. Firmly attach the flex waveguide flange to the ODU feed head using the bolts sup-
plied.
3. Screw each ODU mounting bolt in approximately six turns, then thread the wave-
guide through the center of the mount and attach the ODU to the mount.
oInsert the bolts through receptor holes in the mount, then rotate the ODU
clockwise to bring the mounting bolts hard up against the slot ends.
4. Firmly tighten the four bolts with an open-ended 19mm (3/4”) spanner. Torque
to 18-22 Nm.
5. Prepare the antenna-end of the flexible waveguide as in step 1 above.
6. Check, and adjust if necessary, the run of the waveguide for best protection and
support position before fastening the flange to the antenna port.
260-668066-004 AUGUST 2013 55
VOLUME III, CHAPTER 2, ODU INSTALLATION
7. Secure the waveguide to prevent wind-flex using hanger assemblies or similar. If
cable ties are used, do not over-tighten (take care not to compress/distort the wave-
guide).
Waveguide Flange Data: ODUs
The table below lists the antenna port flange type used with the ODU 600 aat 5/8/6
GHz, plus the mating flange and fastening hardware for remote mount installations.
UDR/PDR flanges are rectangular.
On the ODU, the two flange styles are:
lUDR. 6-hole or 8-hole (6/8 bolt holes depending on frequency
range/waveguide type), flush-face flange with threaded, blind holes.
lUBR. 4-hole flush-face flange with threaded, blind holes.
All fastening hardware is metric.
The 5.8/6 GHz GHz coupl er has a UAR70 6 hole (IEC) pattern
flange on the ODU ports and UDR on the antenna-faci ng port.
Thi s data is relevant where an unused ODU port on a coupler
must the blanked off wi th a microwave load, or where a flex-
ible waveguide attachment is required in a cascaded install-

Procedure
1. Locate the green 2m ground wire in the ODU installation Kit. One end is fitted
with a crimp lug, the other is free.
2. Fasten the lugged end of ground wire to the ODU grounding stud. Before tight-
ening, ensure the cable is correctly aligned towards the tower.
3. Locate a position on a tower member for a ground clamp or similar. This must be
as close as practical below the ODU for downward-angled positioning of the ground
wire.
Run the ground wire down from the ODU to i ts ground point
using the shortest practi cal path. Do not loop or spiral the
gr ound wire.
4. Scrape any paint or oxidation from the tower at the clamping point to ensure
there will be good low-resistance contact.

ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
5. Cut the ground wire so there will be a just a little slack in the wire when it is con-
nected to the ground clamp. A ground clamp is not supplied as part of an ODU
installation kit.
6. Strip the insulation back by 25mm (1’), fit into ground clamp, and firmly secure
the clamp to tower.
7. Liberally apply conductive grease/paste around the ground clamp to provide cor-
rosion resistance. Also apply to the ODU ground stud.

connectors/cable being used. A recommended crimp
tool for connectors used with the RG-8/U type cable
is available from Aviat Networks as Part No. 840-
600203-001.
When removing the jacket
- all coaxial cable
Take great care when removing the jacket to keep
the outer conductor intact. A scored outer
conductor will weaken the cable and, for a solid
outer cable, can cause the outer conductor to break
or crack when subsequently bent.

Always use the cut-off and strip tool specifically
designed for the cable being used.
Fastening TypeN
connectors
Tighten TypeN connectors (male to female) by
hand only.
Weatherproofing All outdoor connections must be made
weatherproof. Refer to Weatherproofing on page
69.
Planning the
route
Protection for the cable The route chosen must provide physical protection
for the cable (protection against accidental
damage).
Keep access to tower and
services clear
The cable must be positioned so that there is
unimpeded access to the tower and to services on
the tower.
Ease of running and
fastening
Use a route which minimizes potential for damage
to the cable jacket and avoids excessive cable re-
bending.
Installing the
cable
Cable jacket Keep cable clear of sharp edges
Cable support Rod support kits or similar must be used across
unsupported sections of the cable run so that the
cable cannot flex in the wind.
Bend radius Ensure the minimum bend radius for the cable is
not exceeded.
Cable ties Use one UV-resistant cable tie (from the ODU cable
kit) every 1m (3 ft) or less, of cable.

Explanation
Cable grounding Ensure the cable is grounded in accordance with the
instructions provided in ODU Cable Grounding on
page 60.
Ice-fall protection Ensure adequate physical protection for the cable
where ice-fall from towers can occur.
ODU Cable Grounding
Ground kits are included in the ODU Cable Kits. Or they can be purchased indi-
vidually.
For tower/mast installations the ODU cable must be grounded at:
lThe point where it comes on to the tower from the ODU
lThe point where it leaves the tower to go to the equipment building
lNot more than 25m (80 ft) intervals on the tower if the height on the tower
exceeds 50m (165ft)
lA point just prior to building entry.
Cable ground connections onto the ODU cable must be correctly weatherproofed to
ensure there is no possibility of water entry into the cable jacket. Weatherproofing
instructions are provided with the cable ground kits. Otherwise, refer to Weather-
proofing on page 69.
If the building-end lightning surge arrestor is installed prior to the cable entering the
building, the ground kit must be installed on the tower side of the arrestor. See ULA
Installed Inside on page 67.
The figure below shows typical tower locations for cable grounding and lightning
surge arrestors. Note that an external arrestor is shown at the ODU end - this is not
required for ODU 600 unless specified by the operator.
At non-standard installations, such as building tops or the sides of buildings, follow
the same general guidelines but where proper grounding points are not provided

Installing Lightning Surge Arrestors
ODU 600 has an internal arrestor. An external arrestor at the ODU is not required
unless specified by the site owner or operator.
While an internal matrix-type arrestor is standard on ODU
600, an additi onal external ODU arrestor may still be required
to comply with local installation practices in regions that
experience severe l i ghtning strikes.
An arrestor should also be installed at building entry to provide added protection to
the indoor equipment, including that of other vendors. But where specified by the
site owner or operator, it must be installed.
For more information on recommended installation practices for lightning pro-
tection, refer to the Best Practices Guide.
For external arrestor installations, the supplied arrestor (Universal Lightning
Arrestor) is an in-line matrix type. It has a dc-blocked RF path with multiple pro-
tection stages in the parallel dc path. These arrestors are designed to withstand
repeated strikes and in the event they do fail, to hard-fail so as not to cause uncer-
tain or intermittent operation.
Refer to:
lLightning Arrestor Kit on page 63
lArrestor Installation at Building Entry on page 64
lArrestor Installation at the ODU on page 68
Lightning Arrestor Kit
The ULA (Universal Lightning Arrestor), type 108-1118B-A, is a compact cylindrical
inline arrestor.
Two versions are available, N-female to N-female, or N-male to N-female
The ULAs are bi-directional - they can be installed with either connector facing the
ODU.
The ULA kit includes a ground wire, crimp lug, washer, nut and O-ring. The ground
wire is terminated at one end for connection to the ULA, and is un-terminated at the
other to enable correct cutting-to-length and the fitting of the crimp lug.

earlier arrestors, refer to User Manual Rev.025, or earlier.
Arrestor Installation at Building Entry
This section describes installation of an arrestor at the building-entry end of the
ODU cable.
The building entry arrestor must be grounded to the master
gr ound bar at, or just below, the cable poi nt of entry. For
details on master ground bar location, refer to the Best
Practices Guide.
The ULA is intended for bulkhead-mounted on the wall-feed-through plate, or within
the cable tray just inside the building.

VOLUME III, CHAPTER 2, ODU INSTALLATION
Procedure
Fit the lugged end of the ground wire to the N-female end of the ULA (end with
'flats' on the thread) and securely fasten using the star washer and nut supplied.
Trim the ODU cable to length, fit an N male connector, and attach to the ground-
wire end of the ULA.
Trim the ULA ground wire so there is just a little slack in the wire when connected to
the master ground bar or external ground bar. Fit the crimp lug supplied and firmly
bolt to the ground bar. (Where possible connect to the external entryway ground bar
- surge-related grounds should go directly to the external ground bar).
Install a jumper cable from the ULA to the indoor radio unit.
Note:
1. At sites where the arrestor cannot be located adjacent to building entry, the
arrestor ground wire must be returned directly to the master ground bar - it
must not be connected to the rack ground or similar.
2. For an external ground bar ground connection, apply copper-based
protective grease around the nut/bolt/lug of the ground-bar end of the
ground wire.
3. If the arrestor is located outside the building, connectors must be
weatherproofed. Refer to Weatherproofing on page 69. After weatherproofing,
apply copper-based protective grease around the nut/bolt/lug of the arrestor
end of the ground wire.
Arrestor Installation at the ODU
This procedure applies to the ODU 600 where an external arrestor is to be installed.
ULA Installation Procedure
1. Install ULA onto ODU N-type female connector. ULA model must be Type-N
male to Type-N female.
2. Fit ODU cable to the ULA.
oThe ODU cable should be run in a downward direction from the ULA to the
tower.
oEnsure the ODU cable is supported within 0.6m (2 ft.) of the ULA. The
cable must be run so as to not stress the mechanical interface of the ULA to
the ODU connector. If necessary (to provide easier ODU cable running)
install an additional Type-N 90 degree adaptor to the ULA.
3. Complete required weatherproofing. See Weatherproofing on page 69.

ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Weatherproofing
Weatherproofing kits are included with the ODU cable and lightning surge arrestors.
Two types of weatherproofing media are supplied. Refer to:
lMastic Tape on page 69
lSelf Amalgamating Tape on page 70
Mastic Tape
The ODU cable ground kits include rolls of vinyl and butyl mastic tape. A two-layer
wrap process is recommended:
lAn initial layer of mastic. It is this tape that provides the weatherproofing.
lA top layer or layers of vinyl tape to support good amalgamation and
adhesion of the mastic tape and to provide UV protection.
Where mastic tape is used to weatherproof connectors a
three-layer process is recommended, where a center layer of
vinyl tape is applied befor e the masti c to facilitate easy strip-
back when connector disconnection is required. Speci al atten-
tion must be given to ensuring the masti c tape seals cleanly
to the primary surfaces, such as the cable jacket.
Wrapping Guidelines, Mastic (Butyl) Tape
To weatherproof connectors start at 1. To weatherproof a cable ground start at 3.
1. Ensure connectors are firmly hand-tightened, dry, and free from all grease and
dirt. If necessary, clean with rag lightly moistened with alcohol-based cleaner.
2. Using vinyl tape, pre-wrap just the center section of the connector barrel - the sec-
tion to which access will be needed if the connector ever needs to be undone. Use a
25% overlay when wrapping. To avoid curl-back do not stretch the tape too tightly at
the end point.
On an ODU connector, leave at least two-thi rds of the smooth
length of the barrel clear of pre-wrap vi nyl tape, to ensure
the mastic tape has sufficient ar ea of direct gr i p.
3. Wrap with mastic tape using a half to 2/3rds width overly, and ensure there is at
least a 25 mm (1”) attachment onto the primary surfaces to either side (cable jacket,
ground wire, connector).
For a cable ground, ensure there is no possibility of water penetrating between the
ODU cable and its ground wire by first applying and forming mastic tape around the
260-668066-004 AUGUST 2013 69
VOLUME III, CHAPTER 2, ODU INSTALLATION
ground wire where it lies against the ODU cable. The ground wire must always exit
from the bottom of the wrap.
4. Starting at the bottom, wrap the mastic tape in an overlapping pattern, slightly
stretching the tape as you wrap. By wrapping from the bottom you help to ensure
there are no ridges or pockets for water to sit in.
There must be a f ull seal of mastic tape onto the primary sur-
face for weatherproofing i ntegri ty.
5. Firm over by hand and squeeze the tape along its edges to form it to the con-
nection. Use tear-off section of the mastic tape backing to protect your hands. Check
that there is no possibility of water entry before proceeding to the next step.
6. Cover the mastic tape with layers of vinyl tape.
7. For a cable ground, wrap from the bottom, with the first layer extending 25mm
(1”) each side of the mastic tape. Subsequent layers must extend no less than 25mm
(1”) each side of the previous layer.
8. Wrap the tape in an overlapping pattern at not less than a half width, slightly
stretching the tape is you wrap, except do not do not stretch for the last two turns of
the top layer to prevent curl-back.
9. Squeeze the completed wrapping to ensure all layers are firm.
To avoid displacement of the masti c tape, do not stretch the
final layer(s) of vinyl tape across shar p corners and edges.
Self Amalgamating Tape
Self amalgamating tape binds to the host and bonds between layers to provide a con-
tinuous seal. It is especially useful in tight locations.
Wrapping Guidelines, Amalgamating Tape
1. Ensure the connectors are firmly hand-tightened, dry, and free from all grease and
dirt. If necessary, clean with a rag lightly moistened with alcohol-based cleaner.
2. Apply the tape with tension (slight stretching), using at least a 75%
overlay.
3. Where possible, apply the tape 25mm (1”) past the ends of the connector barrels
to ensure the weatherproof bond extends beyond the areas requiring protection. The
tape must be applied in such a way that the sealing is robust (no obvious weak
points).
4. To avoid curl-back, do not stretch the tape too tightly at the end.
5. To assist UV protection, a post-wrap using vinyl tape can be applied.

Power Supply
72 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
The DC power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for SELV
(Safety Extra Low Voltage) output (60Vdc maximum l i mi ted).
INUs require a -48Vdc power supply (+ve earth), but will operate to specification
over a voltage range of -40.5 to -60Vdc.
The return (+ve) pin on the NCC and NPC power supply connectors is clamped to
chassis ground via polarity-protecting power FETs.
lNCC and NPC power inputs are reverse polarity protected (the input fuse will
not blow if polarity is reversed).
Where operation from a +24 Vdc PSU is required, the plug-in PCC option provides
voltage conversion from + 24 (19 to 36) Vdc to -56 Vdc for connection to the NCC -
48Vdc input. -56 Vdc represents the typical float voltage for a battery-backed -48
Vdc supply.
Power Consumption and INU Load Maximums
Total power consumed is dependent on the number and type of plug-in cards, and
the number of ODU 600s supported.
INU loading maximums, the number and type of RACs and DACs that can be
installed in an INU, are determined by the load capacity and temperature limits of
the DC converter in the NCC, which supplies various DC rails to the plug-in cards.
lODUs and FANs are not powered via the NCC converter, meaning the ODU
does not impact INU link loading. Its 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 are supplied from the PCC, meaning PCC power limits are determined by the
INU cards and by the number of ODUs supported.
lA PCC should always be installed to receive maximum FAN cooling. This
means it should be installed in the immediate FAN-side slots in an INU/INUe.
Power Consumption
The table below lists nominal power consumption figures for Eclipse cards. Use these
together with the ODU 600 consumption figures in the following tables to determine
total nodal power consumption.
Power consumption figures are for a -48 Vdc supply voltage at normal room ambi-
ents.

Node Card Maximums
The following maximums are applicable to operation using SW release 5.04 or later.
lAn NPC must be fitted in an INUe where specified below. The NPC provides
power supply load sharing with the NCC, allowing the overall loading to be
increased. Should the NPC fail, airflow from the 2RU FAN is increased to
compensate.
When planning the number and type of cards to be installed in an INUe or INU, the
following rules must be observed. Individual card consumptions are detailed under
Power Consumption.
CAUTION:The loading rules below must be observed by the installer -
there is no built-in mechanism to report or limit an incorrect dimen-
sioning of power supply consumption.
INUe Loading Rules for Operation up to 55ºC (131ºF)
The following loading rules must be followed when dimensioning the total power con-
sumption of an INUe that is required to operate in ambient temperatures up to 55ºC
(131ºF):
lIf the total power consumption of all cards installed exceeds 85 watts, an NPC
must be fitted, and a 2RU FAN card must be fitted.
lWith this configuration confirmed the maximum INUe loading enabled is 125
watts. The one exception/condition is that the combined installed total of DAC
GE3 cards must not exceed four.
CAUTION:55ºC (131ºF) operation does not apply to the PCC. Oper-
ational ambient temperatures with a PCC installed must not exceed
450C (1130F).

INU (1RU) Loading Rules
The INU (1RU) chassis should not be loaded above the follow limits:
l65 watts total for operation up to 45ºC
l50 watts total for operation up to 55ºC
Elevated ambient temperatures shoul d be avoided. The ambi-
ent temperature is the ai r temperature i n the immediate oper-
ating environment of the chassis, which if i nstal l ed in a r ack,
is the ambi ent applying to its locati on 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 sup-
ply systems.
lOne PCC supports a maximum three ODUs, plus any combination of RACs
and DACs.
lThe PCC +ve and -ve input terminals are isolated from chassis (ground). The -
ve input is grounded by the -ve grounded power supply connection.
lThe PCC 20A fuse is fitted in the +ve input. It is a PCB mount type and is not
field replaceable.
260-668066-004 AUGUST 2013 75
VOLUME III, CHAPTER 3, INU AND INUE INSTALLATION
lReverse polarity protection is provided. The PCC will automatically recover
from a reverse polarity connection - the fuse will not blow. Over temperature
thermal protection is included.
lThe PCC load maximum is 200 Watts. Use the power consumption data in the
preceding section to determine the maximum number of cards and ODUs that
an be supported.
lAmbient temperatures must not exceed 450C (113F). The PCC should always
be installed next to the FAN card to get best air flow cooling.
lThe PCC conversion efficiency is nominally 10%. To determine the power
consumed by the PCC, use a figure of 10% of the power consumed by the
INU/INUe cards and ODUs.
lWhen installed in an INUe the INUe must be fitted with the 2RU FAN module.
lThe PCC must be connected to the NCC before applying power to the PCC to
avoid a current-inrush trip (overload) on the PCC.
lThe PCC can be plugged into any INU/INUe option slot. It is not connected to
the backplane and its function is not monitored within Portal.
lWhere an NPC is fitted, two PCCs are required for +24 Vdc operation, one for
the NCC, the other for the NPC. This means an INUe must be used for NCC +
NPC operation.
lIf the PCC front-panel LED is not lit, it indicates the existence of abnormal
conditions such as output under-voltage, output over-voltage, loss of input
power, output over-current, or open input fuse.
Power Cables
The INU power cable is supplied in the IDC Installation Kit. It is supplied with a D-
sub M/F 2W2 connector fitted at one end and wire at the other. The cable is nom-
inally 5m (16ft), and the wires are 4mm2 (AWG12).
The cable is used for -48 Vdc connections to an NCC or NPC, or for +24 Vdc con-
nections to a PCC.
The blue wire must be connected to live (-48 Vdc or +24 Vdc); the black wire to
ground (+48 Vdc or -24 Vdc).

Installation Requirements
This table lists typical INU Installation requirements.
Function/Requirement Details
Restricted access The INU/INUe and its associated dc power supply must be installed in
a restricted access area such as a secure equipment room, closet, or
cabinet.
Required Rack Space The INU requires 44.5mm (1RU) of vertical rack space and 300mm
rack depth. The INUe requires 89mm (2RU) vertical rack space.
Ventilation The INU/INUe requires unobstructed air passage to each side for
ventilation purposes. There must be a minimum of 50mm (2”) of
side spacing to any rack panels, cable bundles or similar. No space
above or below is required for ventilation purposes.
Maximum Ambient
Temperature
The INU/INUe is specified for a maximum ambient temperature
(Tmra) of +55°Celsius (131° Fahrenheit). Conditions apply - see
Power Supply on page 72. The maximum ambient temperature
(Tmra) applies to the immediate operating environment of the INU,
which if installed in a rack, is the ambient applying to its location
within the rack.
Physical stability Ensure that adding an INU/INUe to a rack does not adversely impact
the physical stability of the rack.
Power supply -48 Vdc The INU (NCC and NPC) has the +ve pin on its dc power supply
connector connected to the chassis.
It must be used with a -48Vdc power supply which has a +ve
ground; the power supply ground conductor is the +ve supply to the
INU.
There must be no switching or disconnecting devices in the ground
conductor between the dc power supply and the point of connection
to an INU/INUe.
Power Supply +24 Vdc A PCC is required to provide a +24 Vdc to -48 VDC conversion. The dc
power supply supplying the PCC must be -ve grounded.
There must be no switching or disconnecting devices in the ground
conductor between the dc power supply and the point of connection
to a PCC.
Power Supply Location The INU/INUe must be installed in the same premises as its dc power
supply and be located in the same immediate area (such as adjacent
racks or cabinets) as any other equipment that is connected to the
same dc power supply.
78 AVIAT NETWORKS
ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Function/Requirement Details
Power Supply
Compliance and Loading
The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for a SELV output
(60Vdc maximum).
Check to ensure that connection of an Eclipse system to an existing
dc supply does not overload the supply, circuit protection devices and
wiring.
Where a new dc power supply is to be installed for an Eclipse Node,
the power supply should be rated to supply:
- 12.5A for the INU
- 25A for the INUe
- 15A for the PCC
Cable routing Eclipse tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to be routed with
any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept away from any
power lines which cross them.
Grounding The INU must be grounded to the station or master ground, which
must be the same ground as used for the dc power supply. Normally
this is achieved by grounding the INU to the ground bar in its
equipment rack or frame. This bar is most often located to one side of
the rack or at rack top or bottom. In turn, the ground bar is grounded
to the station ground.

Phillips dome-head screws from the IDC installation kit.
3. Ground the INU/INUe from the grounding stud to the rack/frame ground
bar using a length of 4mm2 (AWG12) green PVC insulated stranded copper
wire with a suitably sized ground lug at the ground bar end (supplied by the
installer). The grounding stud accommodates ground cables up to 16 mm2
(AWG 6). The stud also provides jack plug connection for a wrist strap.
4. If the equipment rack/frame requires grounding, use 16mm2 (AWG6) wire
from its ground bar to the station ground.
Grounding Safety:
oDo not assume that an existing rack or mounting frame is correctly
grounded. Always check the integrity of the ground connections, which
must include a check through to the master ground for the station, which
should be located at the point of cable entry to the equipment building.
Ground wires must provide a direct, low impedance path to the master
ground bar.
oDo not connect other equipment to the same grounding cable as the INU.
Each item of equipment in a rack must be separately grounded to the rack
ground bar.
oThe INU must be located in the same immediate area (adjacent
racks/cabinets) as all other equipment with a (ground) connection to a
common DC supply source.
5. Install the plug-ins in their assigned slot positions, and check that their
front panels are flush-fitted (not protruding) and held secure by their
fasteners. Ensure unused slots are covered by blanking panels.
oInstall the CompactFlash (CF) card in the NCC; insert in the socket on
the right side of the PCB.
oThe CF card holds configuration, software load, and license data.
oEach CF card is identified by a unique serial number; which is the license
number for the Eclipse terminal.
6. Fit the supplied jumper cable between the RAC and ODU cable, or where
required to a lightning surge arrestor. Secure the cable within the rack/frame
using cable ties or similar. If the jumper cable is too short, make an
extension cable.
7. Fit NMS cables, DAC tributary cables, and where required, AUX cables. For
data on the cable sets, refer to INU/INUe Cable Assemblies on page 86.

ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
The following steps describe the procedure for installing the power cable, and pre-
paring for power-on. Do not connect the power until all steps have been completed.
8. Run the supplied power cable through to the power pick up point, which
will normally be at a circuit breaker panel in the rack. A circuit breaker (or
fuse) should have a capacity of 12A for the INU and a 25A for the INUe,
however these ratings can be adjusted in line with the number of cards
installed, and hence power consumption. For power consumption data, see
Power Supply on page 72.
9. For a -48 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to -48Vdc (live), and the black
wire to ground/+ve. (Power input on the NCC and NPC is polarity
protected).
10. For a +24 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to +24Vdc (live), and the black
wire to ground/-ve. (Power input on the PCC is polarity protected).
11. Measure the voltage on the dc power connector.
oFor -48 Vdc operation the voltage should be -48Vdc, +/-2Vdc for a non
battery floated supply, and nominally -56 Vdc for a battery floated supply.
(Limits are -40.5 to - 60 Vdc).
oFor +24 Vdc operation the voltage should be 24 +/- 2Vdc for a non battery
floated supply, and nominally 30 Vdc for a battery floated supply.
(Operating limits are 20 to 36 Vdc).
CAUTION:This product meets the global product safety requirements
for SELV (safety extra low voltage) rated equipment and the input
voltage must be guaranteed to remain within the SELV limits (60V
maximum) in the event of a single internal fault.
Always check the integrity of the dc power supply to an INU/INUe
right to its source. Never assume that the supply provided to the pick-
up point in a rack is correct.
Eclipse dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to be
routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept away
from any AC power lines which cross them.
12. Carry out a complete check of the installation. If all is correct, and the ODU
600 installation has likewise been completed and checked, the INU and
ODU 600 are ready for power-on.
oIf a PCC is installed, ensure the PCC to NCC/NPC cable is correctly fitted
before power-on.
CAUTION:Once powered up the ODU(s) will be transmitting with the
pre-configured or ex-factory frequency and power settings unless the
start-up transmit mute option has been invoked. (All ODUs shipped
ex-factory have the transmit-mute set as the default unless oth-
erwise specified).If frequency and power settings are not correct,
interference can be caused to other links in the same geographical
area.
13. Turn power on. For -48 Vdc connect the power cable to the NCC, and to the
NPC where fitted. For +24 Vdc operation, connect to the PCC input.
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.

Plug-in Installation
Installing or changing out a plug-in is a straightforward process.
lThe table below lists plug-in requirements at installation or subsequent
upgrade.
lUnless specified by the customer, plug-ins will not be installed in an
INU/INUe at shipment. Instead, each is individually packed within the
shipping box.
For a description of the plug-ins, see Plug-in Cards on page 18.
For information on user-interface connector and cable data, refer to INU/INUe Cable
Assemblies on page 86.
Table 3-4. Plug-in Requirements
Function/Requirement Priority Details
Slot Assignment
All slots filled All slots must be filled with either a plug-in or a blanking
panel. Failure to do so will compromise EMC integrity and
distribution of FAN cooling air.
Universal slots
1-4 on an INU
1-6 on an INUe
RAC, DAC, and AUX plug-ins can be fitted in any universal
slot.
Restricted slots
7-9 on an INUe
DAC, and AUX plug-ins can be fitted in any restricted slot.
The exceptions are the DAC 155oM, DAC 155eM, and AUX,
which must only be installed in slots 1 to 6 when they are to
be configured to carry/access Eclipse NMS, otherwise they
can be installed in slots 7 to 9.
Dedicated slots The NCC, FAN, and NPC plug-ins have dedicated slots.
Protected RACs INUe Protected RACs (or ring-protected RAC with DAC 155oM)
must only be installed in ‘above and below’ slots as indicated
by the red arrows.
AUX Multiple AUX plug-ins can be installed per INU/INUe.
NPC Only one NPC is required to provide the NCC protection
option. An NPC must be installed in slot 4 of an INU, or slot
10 of an INUe. If an NPC is not installed in an INU, slot 4 is
available as a universal slot.
Installing / Changing Plug-ins
ESD grounding strap Always connect yourself to the INU/INUe with an ESD
grounding strap before changing or removing a plug-in.
Failure to do so can cause ESD damage to the plug-ins. Avoid
hand contact with the PCB top and bottom.
260-668066-004 AUGUST 2013 83
VOLUME III, CHAPTER 3, INU AND INUE INSTALLATION
Function/Requirement Priority Details
Finger-grip fasteners Plug-ins must be withdrawn and inserted using their finger-
grip fasteners/pulls. Never withdraw or insert using attached
cables, as damage to the plug-in connector and its PCB
attachment can occur. If not complied with, the Aviat
Networks warranty may be voided.
Hot-swappable Plug-ins are hot-swappable.
- Removal of an in-service payload plug-in will interrupt its
traffic.
- Removal of the NCC will affect all traffic - unless pro-
tected by an NPC.
- Removal / replacement of the FAN does not affect traffic.
Engaging backplane
connector
When installing a plug-in, ensure its backplane connector is
correctly engaged before applying sufficient pressure to
bring the plug-in panel flush with the front panel.
Revision time lag When swapping or installing plug-ins, up to 60 seconds can
be required for the INU/INUe to show its revised status via
the front panel LEDs, or via Portal.
EMC integrity Plug-ins and blanking panels are held in place by captive
finger-screws. Ensure the finger-screws are fastened as
failure to do so may compromise EMC integrity and fan
cooling.
RACs
Connecting and
disconnecting the ODU
cable at the RAC
Never disconnect or reconnect an ODU cable to a RAC
without first turning the power off to the INU or withdrawing
the RAC from the backplane.
NOTE: The ODU cable provides the power feed to the
ODU. Arcing during connection and disconnection at the
RAC on a live RAC can cause damage to connector contact
surfaces. Power spikes caused by live connection and dis-
connection may also cause errors on other traffic passing
through the INU/INUe. The only exception to live dis-
connection and connection should be for checks of pro-
tected operation at link commissioning.
Removing RAC from a
powered INU
When removing a RAC from a powered INU, always the
disengage the RAC from the backplane before disconnecting
its 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 Power Supply on
page 72.)

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

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