1 Introduction
The MBSC0800-040-RU Fiber Optic Coverage System is used to extend wireless coverage to specific
areas in building(s), or throughout a complex zone. The mBSC product family offers a flexible, scalable,
modular platform to improve signal quality and enhance the services to meet the increasing demands.
The MBSC0800-040-RU system components include a Host Unit (HU) and a Remote Node. Each Host Unit
can feed up to eight multi-band Remote Nodes, each utilizing a single fiber. A Remote Node can
accommodate between one and five single-band bi-directional amplifiers (Remote Units) – install only the
bands required at the time of deployment. As requirements change, additional single-band units can be
easily installed in the field. This modular architecture provides optimum implementation flexibility, reduces
initial cost, and defers further investment until required.

3.2.1 Host Unit Components
The Host Unit is a multi-slot chassis, consisting of 9 slots numbered from left to right: 1 through 9. Slots 7
through 9 are dedicated and specifically keyed for the Remote Control Unit (RCU) and two redundant Power
Supply Units (PSUs). The Host Unit also houses the Base Station Interface Units (BIU) and Fiber Interface
Units (FIU). The Host Unit allows any combination of BIU and FIU modules, up to six in total.
3.2.1.1
BIU (BTS Interface Unit)
The BIU is a frequency agnostic RF interface card that provides simplex TX input and RX output
connections to the BTS equipment. The BIU combines up to 5 bands of RF downlink signal into a composite
signal, which is then split across four TX out connectors for interconnection to up to four fiber modules
(simulcast). In the uplink path the BIU combines up to four separate multi-band uplink signals for distribution

5 System Monitoring &Configuration
5.1
Accessing EMS Local GUI
The MBSC0800-040-RU system supports local configuration through a web-based Element Management
System (EMS) graphical user interface (GUI) accessed through the RJ-45 and USB ports of the Host Unit
RCU card. The EMS local GUI is a web-based application supported by standard web-browsers. Microsoft
Internet Explorer® is recommended.
System configuration and monitoring can also be performed from a remote EMS Server. The EMS Server is
a multi-user platform that includes enhanced management capabilities for configuration, monitoring and
alarming. The EMS Server is required to generate SNMP alarms.
Note:It may take up to 3 minutes for the mBSC system to initialize, therefore it is recommended to only attempt to login to the
GUI after the mBSC system has completely started, otherwise the GUI may incorrectly display a message indicating that the
username and/or password are wrong (when in fact they may be correct).
5.1.1 Using Ethernet Port
Access to the EMS Local GUI through an RJ-45 Ethernet connection is provided on the RCU card in the
Host Unit shelf. The Ethernet port is the primary point of connection for the remote EMS Server. The EMS
Local GUI accessed through the Ethernet port is assigned the IP address 172.18.60.60 at the factory.
However, this IP address can be modified to suit the networking requirements of the installation (e.g. to
allow access across a Local Area Network).
Steps:
1. Obtain a CAT5 cable and connect it to the RJ45 port on the host unit RCU card, and connect the
other end into the RJ45 port on the laptop/computer. Depending on the model year of your computer,
a crossover cable may be required.
2. Start an Internet Explorer browser session on the laptop/computer, and enter the following URL to
connect to the Local GUI–“http://172.18.60.60”.
Note: The mBSC system does not provide DHCP service. To access the GUI you will need to configure the local computer
with a static IP address the same subnet as the local GUI.
Note: The EMS Local GUI is a single-user interface, and supports only a single user at a time. If the Ethernet interface is
connected to a Local Area Network, and more than one user is accessing the EMS Local GUI at the same time, inconsistent
operation may occur. Please use the EMS Server for multi-user applications.
MBSC0800-040-RU

MBSC0800-040-RU
5.1.2 Using USB Port
Access to the EMS Local GUI through a standard USB connection is also available at both the Host Unit
RCU card, and the CM-BTS enclosure of the Remote Node. The EMS Local GUI has a fixed IP address
assignment when accessed through the USB port – it is set at the factory and cannot be changed.
Steps:
1. Install the USB-Ethernet driver on the laptop/computer. The laptop/computer must be connected
to the internet in order for the drivers to be automatically installed.
2. Obtain a USB cable and connect it to the USB port on the host unit and the laptop/computer.
3. Start an Internet Explorer browser session on the laptop/computer, and enter the following
URL–“http://192.168.5.220”.
Note: The mBSC system does not provide DHCP service. To access the GUI you may need to configure the local computer
with a static IP address the same subnet as the local GUI.

System Tuning
5.4.1 BTS Signal Conditioning
The interface from the operator BTS equipment to the MBSC0800-040-RU is via simplex RF connections to
the BIU. The nominal downlink input to the BIU (TXin) is 0 dBm±1dB (range: -10dBm to +10dBm). If the BTS
signal downlink exceeds +10 dBm, or the signal is a composite duplex RF signal, then RF signal
conditioning will be required.
BTI provides a high-power Point of Interface to perform RF signal conditioning (mBSC-C-POI) The use and
operation of this component is outside the scope of this document.
5.4.2 Set Downlink Gain
It may be necessary to adjust the Downlink gain of the mBSC-C system in order to achieve a balanced
forward and reverse link, or to adjust for other conditions (input levels from the BTS, propagation
characteristics at different bands, specific RF design). The MBSC0800-040-RU provides two points of
adjustment for downlink gain:
1. Software controlled attenuator for each band in the BIU
2. Software controlled attenuator in each band-specific Remote Unit
The determination of appropriate values for these parameters is outside the scope of this document.
5.4.2.1
Adjust BIU Downlink Attenuator
Adjust the BIU downlink value for each frequency band as follows:
1. Click on the BIU in the topology diagram and the component window will pops up on the right as
shown in Figure 50 - BIU Attenuator.
2. Downlink Attenuation Value (XXX MHz): Input the appropriate value for each frequency band (0dB –
25dB range)
3. Click Save

It may be necessary to adjust the Uplink gain of the mBSC-C system in order to achieve a balanced forward
and reverse link, or to adjust for other conditions (antenna placement, dynamic range requirements,
propagation characteristics at different bands, specific RF design). The MBSC0800-040-RU provides two
points of adjustment for uplink gain:
1. Software controlled attenuator for each band in the BIU
2. Software controlled attenuator in each band-specific Remote Unit
The determination of appropriate values for these parameters is outside the scope of this document.

5.4.4 Link Verification
The MBSC0800-040-RU system is equipped with features that enable the downlink and uplink link to be
fine-tuned from the head-end location using common test equipment (RF signal generator and RF power
detector).
5.4.4.1
Verify End-to-End Downlink Gain
Each RU in the remote node is equipped with a calibrated Downlink Power Detector which will display the
average power at the output of the RU. By injecting an RF CW signal at each TXin port of the BIU the
end-to-end downlink system gain can be verified without additional test equipment required at the Remote
Node.
Verify the end-to-end Downlink Gain for each frequency band as follows:
1. Using an RF Signal generator inject a CW RF signal to the TXin port of the BIU
a. Set the frequency to the center of the spectrum to be used in the system (if the operator
licensed bands are not known set the frequency to center of the band – e.g. 2132.5 MHz for
AWS band)
b. Set the input RF power level to be 3 – 5 dB below the expected RF level to product
maximum output power at the RU to avoid accidental overdrive (e.g. if the gain is set so that
0dBm input will produce +43 dBm at the output then start with -5dBm)
2. The resultant Downlink output power of the RU can be observed in two ways:
a. In the topology window the Downlink Output power is displayed next to the specific RU (e.g.
30.7 dBm indicated in the topology diagram by the 800MHz RU in Figure 52 – Up/Down Link
Verification)
b. Downlink Output Power: In the component window
3. Variations in filtering, amplifiers, and optical loss may cause the actual system gain to vary +/- 6 dB.
All paths can be normalized by adjusting downlink attenuation settings in the BIU.
4. This procedure should be repeated for each frequency band in the system

Figure 52 – Up/Down Link Verification
5.4.4.2
Using Uplink Pilot Tone Generator
Each RU in the remote node is equipped with an Uplink Pilot Tone Generator which will generate a CW RF
tone out of the RU back towards the FIU and BIU.. By measuring the RF power at the RXout port of the BIU
the end-to-end uplink system gain can be verified, and band-to-band / node-to-node, variations calibrated
without additional test equipment required at the Remote Node.
Verify the end-to-end Uplink Gain for each frequency band as follows:
1. Click on the RU for the desired frequency band. The component window ;will pop up as shown in
Figure 52 – Up/Down Link Verification
a. Uplink Pilot Frequency: Set the frequency to the center of the spectrum to be used in the
system (if the operator licensed bands are not known set the frequency to center of the band
– e.g. 1732.5 MHz for AWS band)
b. Uplink Pilot Frequency Switch: select ON from the drop-down box
c. Click Save to turn the Uplink Pilot generator ON
2. Connect an RF power meter to the corresponding RXout port of the BIU
a. A -6 dBm value in the Uplink Pilot Frequency Output Power field of the RU corresponds to an
equivalent signal of -60 dBm at the input to the RU
MBSC0800-040-RU
April 15, 2013

MBSC0800-040-RU
b. Variations in filtering, amplifiers, and optical loss may cause the actual system gain to vary
+/- 6 dB. All paths can be normalized by adjusting uplink attenuation settings in the BIU.
3. This procedure should be repeated for each frequency band in the system
Note: Uplink Pilot Frequency Switch should be off during normal operations. This function is intended for testing, verifying,
and adjusting uplink performance and will interfere with normal operation of the system.

6 Maintenance
Note: Check your sales order and equipment warranty before attempting to service or repair the mBSC-C system. Breaking
the seals on equipment under warranty will void the warranty. Do not return equipment for warranty or repair until proper
shipping instructions are received from the factory.
6.1
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
The mBSC-C system modules contain assemblies and components which are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Carefully observe the precautions and recommended procedures to verify that system
reliability is not compromised due to component damage from static electricity.
The following precautions will significantly reduce the risk of system failure or malfunction due to ESD:
1.
Always wear a grounded wrist strap while working around the system
2.
Consider all assemblies, components and connections to be ESD sensitive
3.
When unpacking circuit boards, interfaces and modules that are packaged separately from the
system, keep them in their conductive wrapping until they are ready to be installed.
4.
Before removing or replacing any components, select a work area where potential static sources
are minimized
5.
Handle circuit packs and boards by the grounded housings, avoiding contact with the connectors
6.2
Preventative Maintenance
The mBSC-C system requires minimal regular maintenance to ensure continuous and satisfactory operation.
Maintenance includes diagnosing and correcting the service problems as they occur. When an alarm is
reported, it is necessary to follow a troubleshooting procedure to identify the source of the problem.
The following are recommended routine maintenance procedures:
„
Check the indicator status LEDs (normal or alarm).
„
Prevent dust or grime from accumulating on the surface of heat sinks.
„
Check power output.
6.3
Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
The mBSC-C on-board embedded firmware detects unit and system faults and reports them as system
alarms. The following methods may be used to report alarms:
„ Dry-contact alarm points
„ Status LEDs on system components
„ NMS (Local GUI, remote NMS, and SNMP Alarms)
MBSC0800-040-RU
