Figure 3: System Diagram
On the DL, signals from the BTSs or BDA are converted into optical signals after amplification in the
MU.Then the optical signals are transmitted to the RU via optical fiber. The Optical TX/RX Module of RU
converts the DL optical signals into RF signals. After amplification, the signals are transmitted at the MT
port to the service antenna.
On the UL, the signals transmitted by the mobile are converted into optical signals, and then via the UL
optical fiber, the signals are transmitted to MU, which then converts the optical signals back to RF signals.

to enter to [Finish] page after finishing RU setup.
Note:
As the system calibration process is calibrated for single channel, so if there is more than one same band
input, because of the power superposition, the band total output power will higer than target DL output
power after the calibration is complete.
The calibration work is mainly to set device to reach it’s theoretical gain, so when there are two or more
same bands access into and they have the same input power level, each channel will reach it’s rated
power, so the total output power will be (input A+gain) + (inputB+gain)+…+(inputN+gain). For example, if
there are two 1900MHz bands acess to MU, each has 10dBm input power, the total output power of RU
1900MHz will be 30dBm+30dBm=33dBm.
Refer to the method below for the gain adjustment:
Suppose a band with N independent inputs, each input signal power are all X dBm. Apparently, there
exists the following relationship between input and output after finished auto communication on WEB GUI:
X dBm + Gain = 30dBm, then the total output power for N channels access is X dBm + Gain + 10*Log(N)
= 30 + 10*Log(N), so Users need to set 10*Log(N) RFU ATT on WEB GUI for each channel.

6.2 TROUBLESHOOTING
Following installation and commissioning, occasional operation tasks to handle alarms may be required:
Table 16: MU Alarms Diagnosis
Alarm condition
Diagnosis
Check temperature on WEB GUI
If device temperature is over threshold, make sure environment temperature is within the
envireonment temperature range that MU supported (0~40℃). Apply climatic protection to
the system under severe environment.
Optical TX Alarm
Test MU transmit optical power
Replace FOU if transmit optical power is less than -7dBm
Optical RX Alarm
Clean optical cable connector with pure alcohol first , reconnect and see if alarm disappears
Use Optical Power Meter to test received optical power
If received optical power is lower than -10dBm, test whether RU transmit optical power is
normal (3~5dBm)
Check if optical loss of fiber link is higher than 6.5dBo
OverTemperature
alarm
DL Input Power
Overload Alarm
Test DL input power of MU, if it is higher than +33dBm, lower the power below 30dBm by
decreasing source output power or adding an external attenuator with proper attenuating value.
Table 17: RU Alarms Diagnosis
Alarm condition
Diagnosis
External Alarm
Check to make sure if the external device connected is working normally
OverTemperature
alarm
Check device temperature on WEB GUI
If device temperature e is over threshold, make sure environment temperature is within the
envireonment temperature range that RU supported (-20~50℃). Apply climatic protection to
the system under severe environment.
Test RU transmit optical power
Replace FOU if transit optical power is less than 0dBm
Clean optical cable connector with pure alcohol first, reconnect and see if alarm disappears
Use Optical Power Meter to test received optical power
If received optical power is lower than -14dBm, test whether MU transmit optical power is
normal (-4~-2dBm)
Check if optical loss of fiber link is higher than 6.5dBo
Check PA Service Status on WEB GUI RU page,
If it is [Recovery], reset PA on WEB GUI Management page, then read RU output power: If
output power is exceed threshold, need to reduce gain or input power; if output power is
normall, check whether antenna port VSWR is too high.
If it is [Shutdown], Refer to PA Shutdown Alram
DL Output Power
Overload Alarm
Check if output power is exceed the threshold (32dBm for LRU, 39dBm for MRU)
Decrease the gain to reduce the output power
PA Shutdown
Alarm
Make Sure the environment temperature is -20~50℃
Reset PA, if PA service status turns to [Recovery], and then refer to DL PA Alarms. If PA still
shutdown, the PA module maybe damaged, please contact with Comba to replace the RU.
LNA Alarm
Uplink LNA modual damaged, please contact with Comba to replace the RU.
