mBSC-H DAS System
Installation Manual Issue 7
The Remote Units may consist of combinations of 700MHz, 850MHz, 1900MHz and 2100MHz frequencies
and are available in 20 Watt, 40 Watt or 80 Watt output configurations. Each RU is designed to support a
Single Frequency Band. For multi-frequency use, the system can be configured as multiple Master/Slave
Remote Units. Each Master Unit can support a maximum of two slave RUs with a maximum of three RUs
supported per fiber connection. The primary transport between the HU and the RU is fiber optic. The Fiber
Optic also provides the RU alarms and configuration communication between the NMS and the Remote Unit.
The downlink and uplink optical signals are duplexed so only one fiber is required.
3.1.1 Host Unit
The Host Unit provides a multiple slot assembly, consisting of 9 slots numbered from left to right: 1 through
9. Slots 7 through 9 are used and specifically keyed for the Remote Control Unit (RCU) and two
redundant Power Supply Units (PSU) only. The Host Unit also houses the Base Station Interface Units
(BIU) and Fiber Interface Units (FIU), Figure 3-2. The BIU comes in Diversity (BIU-D) and Non-Diversity
(BIU-ND) and the FIU comes in Simulcast (FIU-S) and Non-Simulcast (FIU-NS) modules. The HU allows
multiple combinations of BIU and FIU modules with up to 3 band downlink and uplink RF signals per BIU
from the BTS and converts them to analog over RF for fiber transport.
The Host Unit, through interface combinations, provides the following functions:
 Converts the BTS RF signal to fiber signal.
 Supplies connectivity between the BTS and the Remote Unit.
 Manages and monitors the system alarms and configurations.
 Supports 1 to 3 Sectors system configurations.
 Supports a single sector with 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 Simulcast configuration.
 Supplies fiber connectivity to the Remote Unit with in-band message signaling.

3.1.3 Remote Unit
The Single-Band Master Remote Unit, shown in Figure 3-4a, 3-4b, 3-4c and 3-4d, consists of an optical
module (O/E), a downlink power amplifier, an LNA, and duplexer. The Optical module converts the
downlink optical signal from the FIU module in the HU and splits the RF signal into 3 RUs. It also converts
the uplink RF signal to an optical signal and simultaneously sends it to the FIU module in the HU for
distribution to the BIU modules. Each optical module can support 3 RUs in any combination of different
bands.
The Single-Band Master Remote Unit provides the following functions:
 Converts the forward optic signal to RF signal.
 Boosts the forward RF signal from the HU to a higher power level (max output: 80W).
 Amplifies the uplink signal from the antenna to improve the system receive sensitivity.
 Supplies in-band messaging between the HU and RU for RU Alarms and configuration.
The Remote Unit has been designed for minimal maintenance. Maintenance recommendations include a
once yearly inspection and cleaning, if needed. A fan alarm will be generated should the fan current drop
below one third of its required current.

3.2.3 Remote Unit Interface
The interface of the Remote Unit consists of connectors and LEDs that are located on the bottom of the
RU enclosure. The Master RU user interface points are indicated in Figure 3-8 and Table 3-3. The Slave
RU user interface points are indicated in Figure 3-9 and Table 3-4.
Remote Units are classified as either MASTER or SLAVE. Master and Slave Units have exactly the same
mechanical dimensions. Functionality is the main difference as the MASTER Remote Unit has the
connection for the fiber optic cable. For supporting multiple bands, only the MASTER Remote Unit needs
to have the fiber optic connection with the Host Unit. Other Remote Units are interfaced with SLAVE ports
for receiving RF downlink signal and sending RF uplink signal with the Master Remote Unit.

MASTER Remote Unit:
 Has the Fiber Optic Cable connection with the Host Unit
 Provides the RF downlink signal to the SLAVE Remote Unit through “TX_IN” or “TX_OUT” port.
 Receives the RF uplink signal from the SLAVE Remote Unit “RF_IN” or “RF_OUT” port.

5.2.6 Connect Host Unit to Server
With the IP address updated, the Host Unit must be connected the server, Figure 5-19, for communication
information to function. The Host Unit is connected from the Network port on the back interface through the
hub to the server as shown in Figure 5-20 or may be directly connected from the back interface port to the
server. The Host Unit may also be connected to the server from the RCU network port on the front
interface, either directly or through the hub to the server. Only one network port connection may be used at
a time.
Figure 19. Connect Host Unit to Server
Only one port may be connected to the server at a time, as both front interface and back
interface network ports are the same port.

Maintenance
6.1 GENERAL
Please read the general Safety Precautions contained in Section 1.2 Safety Precautions
The mBSC-H Fiber Distributed Antenna System (DAS) system has been designed to require minimal
maintenance with component replacement as the primary method of maintenance. Care must be taken to
prevent unintentional damage to any module seals. Only units which can be replaced without tuning or
soldering are listed in the Replacement Parts List as Warranty may be voided if the module seals are
damaged. It is important to work within the Return Material Authorization (RMA) process when ordering
replacement parts.
Appropriate tools are required for correct handling of replacement maintenance. Please follow any
replacement instructions provided by the manufacturer. Fastening procedures are as follows:
 Fastening: Clockwise turns of the tool are required
 Unfastening: Counter-clockwise turns of the tool are required

NOTE: All internal housing interventions may void Warranty as module seals may
become damaged. Replace any defective parts with original parts from the
manufacturer.
6.2 HOST UNIT
NOTE: It is important to note that preventative maintenance is not required for the Host
Unit.

component of the Host Unit requires replacement, care must be taken with modules so that seals are not
damaged unintentionally as this may void warranty.
Please see the Replacement Parts List for specific components available.
6.3 NMS
The NMS may require periodic updates, both Firmware and Software. Please see Sections 4.4.7 Firmware
Updates and 4.4.8 Software Upgrade Installation.
6.4 REMOTE UNITS
It is important to note that preventative maintenance is not required for the Remote Unit.
Danger: Disconnect the Remote Unit from the mains prior to any maintenance.
NOTE: It is important to note that preventative maintenance is not required for the
Remote Unit.
6.4.1 Fans
Visually inspect fan units at intervals based upon the location, corresponding environment and pollution
levels. Maintenance is not required for the fan units, but the fan units may be cleaned, if needed using any
commercially available small compressed air device (max. 5 bar).
Once an RU has been powered up for the first time, the fans rotate at full speed. After one minute, the fan
speed will decrease to 75% and after another minute, the fan speed decreases to 25% and will then stay at
25% until the RU reaches its normal operating temperature.
In a normal operating situation, the fans are generally operating at approximately 50% of their power, this
helps prevent dust and other contaminants from settling on the fan blades and the cooling fins. A fan alarm
will be generated should the fan current drop below its normal operating fan speed. Please see the
Replacement Parts list should a replacement fan unit be required and follow any replacement instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
