MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 1 11 IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn ttoo HHXX SSyysstteemm MobileAccessHX is a high power, Distributed Antenna System (DAS) solution for indoors or outdoors (future option). It is a fiber-fed, compact, scalable multi-service platform designed to provide complete RF open space coverage for large scale public venues, such as campuses, stadiums, convention centers, hotels, airports, and train stations. HX supports multiple wireless technologies and operator services over a single broadband infrastructure. Using low loss fiber optic cabling, remote units can cover distances of up to 2Km from the BTS signal sources at the head-end. Front-end wireless RF services are routed over optic fibers to HX series remote units, which are securely located at each remote location. These modular service aggregation platforms precisely combine multiple wireless service signals for simultaneous distribution over a common broadband infrastructure. The solution can be deployed in new sites or alongside existing MobileAccess1000 (MA1000) and/or MobileAccess2000 (MA2000) systems, sharing a common head-end and element management system (EMS). Alongside MA1000/MA2000 deployments, MobileAccessHX provides a comprehensive indoor and outdoor coverage solution for varying site requirements, supporting everything from high-rise buildings and campus topologies, to stadiums and airports. Figure 1-1. HX Indoor Model and HX Outdoor Model HX Remote Unit – Indoor Model HX Remote Unit – Outdoor Model
Introduction to HX System Features and Capabilities MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 2 1.1 Features and Capabilities • Multi-Service Platform: Accommodates GSM, UMTS, HSPA, LTE, EDGE, EV-DO, AWS, and more. Provides MIMO configuration for LTE700, AWS, and UMTS band. • Cost-Effective High Power: Optimizes and reduces the number of antennas required to cover open areas by offering up to 33dBm (2W) composite power per frequency band. • Indoor Models: Supports either SISO or MIMO service in a single compact enclosure. • Outdoor Models: The outdoor model enclosures are compliant with IP65/NEMA standards. • Carrier-Grade Operation: Advanced signal handling and management ensures carrier-grade performance in multi-operator deployments. • Design and Deployment Flexibility: Remote unit supports both SM and MM fiber connections, and are available in AC or DC power supply options. Antenna splitting schemes are possible due to the higher power output capability. • Backwards Compatible: Connects to an existing MobileAccess1000 or MobileAccess2000 deployment and shares a common head-end and Element Management System (EMS) in a single deployment.
Introduction to HX System System Architecture MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 3 1.2 System Architecture MobileAccessHX provides a complete solution consisting of HX remote units at the remote locations, and head-end elements, which are shared with any existing or new MA1000/MA2000 deployment. In the downlink, at the head-end, the BTS or BDA signal is conditioned by the RIU, ensuring a constant RF level. The conditioned signal is then converted by the Base Unit to an optical signal for transport over single or multi-mode fiber to the HX remote units, which are located at the remote locations. In the uplink, the process is reversed. The SC-450 Controller enables local and remote management, as well as controls all MA1000, MA2000, and HX elements from a single, centralized location. The MobileAccessHX Remote Unit (indoor-SISO/MIMO and outdoor-SISO models) consists of a compact enclosure that houses the RF module, power elements, and the required interfaces. The RF module supports three bands (GSM, DCS, and UMTS) and two types of quad bands (Type 1: LTE700, CELL, PCS, and AWS or Type 2: CELL, EGSM, DCS, or UMTS) All mobile services are combined and distributed through a single antenna port over antennas installed at the remote locations. Figure 1-2. System Architecture MobileAccessHX architecture including existing MA2000 / MA1000, with a common head-end.
Introduction to HX System Application Topologies MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 4 1.3 Application Topologies MobileAccessHX can be installed in various site topologies, where the setup procedure varies accordingly: • High power coverage via a single antenna - used for open area, stadium, parking lots, etc. • RF signal is distributed over several antennas via splitters • Special coverage requirements using directional antennas 1.4 System Monitoring and Management The MobileAccessHX Remote Unit is centrally managed via the MobileAccess SC-450 Controller. Note that MobileAccessHX is not connected directly to the controller. It is connected to the Base Unit (that is connected to the controller). Thus, the controller monitors views and manages the HX via the Base Unit to which the HX is connected. The following shows the Config(uration) tab of the selected HX unit. The system configuration and management is described in Chapter 4. Figure 1-3: Example of HX (Indoor SISO) Configuration Tab

Provisioning the MobileAccessHX Accessing HX Management Options MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 37 44 PPrroovviissiioonniinngg tthhee MMoobbiilleeAAcccceessssHHXX Once the required physical connections have been completed, the HX unit is automatically detected (auto-discover) by the SC-450 and can be remotely monitored and managed. The MobileAccessHX Remote Unit is centrally managed via the MobileAccess SC-450 Controller. Note that MobileAccessHX is not connected directly to the controller. It is connected to the Base Unit (that is connected to the controller). Thus, the controller monitors views and manages the HX via the Base Unit to which the HX is connected. Note: The provisioning procedure is similar for both Indoor and Outdoor HX units and consists of two simple steps: assigning the unit name (Module Info tab) and clicking the Adjust button (Adjustment tab). Additional configuration options are available as well. Each HX unit can be managed via several dedicated panes that are accessed by clicking the relevant HX item in the SC-450 Topology Tree. 4.1 Accessing HX Management Options To access the MobileAccessHX management options In the Network Topology tree, expand the relevant Controller item, expand the relevant Base Unit (to which the HX is connected) and click on the HX. The HX alarms and management tabs appear. Figure 4-1: Example of HX Unit Module Info Tab (Shows Indoor) The HX Cabinet Alarms are continuously displayed (to the left of the tabs). The monitoring and configuration options are distributed over four tabs: • Module Info - device version and identification definitions HX item Host Base Unit HX Alarm status Four management tabs Controller

Provisioning the MobileAccessHX Basic Setup Procedure MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 40 2. Mask irrelevant alarm conditions, in both tabs via the Modify button, to avoid having them reflected overall status of the HX unit (displayed in the HX Alarms area). For Example In the example below, the HX Cabinet Alarms dialog shows the alarm response if the Service 2 DL Output Power Low alarm is NOT masked (enabled). In that case the Service 2 and Overall Status will be RED indicating a fault. If the Service 1 alarm is MASKED (Disabled), then the LED for the alarm will be RED; but, the corresponding Service alarm in HX Cabinet Alarms area will be GREEN – showing NO Fault. Note: The Overall Status alarm will only show green if all of the generated alarms are masked (or if all alarms are green). In the figure above the alarm condition for (Service 1) “DL Output Power Low” actually exists, while the masking prevents this condition from affecting the overall status of the service and therefore the Service 1 led in HX Cabinet Alarms area is green. Unmasked alarm RED - Unmasked alarm reflects on corresponding Service alarm and Overall Status Masked alarm GREEN - Masked DL Output Power Low alarm (for Service 1) alarm does not reflect on corresponding Service alarm in HX Cabinet Alarms area.

Appendix B: Ordering Information MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 51 AAppppeennddiixx DD:: SSiittee PPrreeppaarraattiioonn This following installation rules are based on the assumption that site survey and installation planning (including power requirements) have been completed. Installation Requirements The infrastructure preparation consists of two main phases: A. Floor Planning: Planning the distribution of the antennas on each floor to provide the required coverage. B. Telecom Closet Planning: Planning the layout of the devices and cables in the telecom closet or shaft. Coaxial Cable Connections General Cable Installation Procedures Observe the general cable installation procedures that meet with the building codes in your area. The building code requires that all cabling be installed above ceiling level (where applicable). The length of cable from the risers to each antenna must be concealed above the ceiling. The cable must be properly supported and maintained straight using tie-wraps, cable trays and clamps or hangers every 10 feet (where practical above ceiling level). Where this is not practical, the following should be observed: • The minimum bending radius of the supplied ½” coax cable should be 7”. • Cable that is kinked or has a bending radius smaller than 7” must be replaced. • Cable runs that span less than two floors should be secured to suitably located mechanical structures. • The cables should be supported only from the building structure.
Appendix B: Ordering Information MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 52 Fiber Optic Rules • Either single mode or multimode fiber can be used with MobileAccess2000M products, while MobileAccess2000 products can only be used with single mode fiber. • Only Multimode fiber, 50/125 or 62.5/125um complying with ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B series, EN50173-1 or ISO/IEC 11801 can be used. The fiber length can be up to 300 meters assuming the following qualifications:  All fiber in a given length of fiber must be of the same core diameter.  All Bulkhead adapters must be Single mode SC/APC (Green) adapters.  All terminations cross connections or patches must be direct fusion splice or MobileAccess specified patch cords listed below. 900 microns pathcord for splicing, 2 Meters, 2xSC/APC Diamond p/n ENC/1045341 Beige boots, 62.5/125/900 MA# 500001057 Diamond p/n ENC/1045340 Black boots, 50/125/900 MA# 500001058 Zipcord patchcord, 4xSC/APC, 50/125/900/2000/4500 micron Diamond p/n ENC/1045342 Black/Brown boots, 1Meter MA# 50000105 Diamond p/n ENC/1045343 Black/Brown boots, 3 Meter MA# 500001060 Zipcord patchcord, 4xSC/APC, 62.5/125/900/2000/4500 micron Diamond p/n ENC/1045344 Beige/Brown boots, 1 Meter MA# 500001061 Diamond p/n ENC/1045345 Beige/Brown boots, 3 Meter MA# 500001062 • Use only 8-degree SC/APC connectors (green color). • Use only fusion splice for connecting two fibers. • Use minimum splicing/connectors to achieve minimum losses on the fibers (<0.5dB). • Use precaution while installing, bending, or connecting fiber optic cables. • Use an optical power meter and OTDR for checking the fiber optic cables. • Make sure the environment is clean while connecting/splicing fiber optic cables. • All fiber optic connections should be cleaned prior to attaching to termination points using a dry cleaning device (i.e. Cletop or equivalent). • Fiber connector protective caps should be installed on all non-terminated fibers and removed just before they are terminated. • Verify the Fiber Optic connections. You may use the Optical Test Procedure described at the end of this manual. • Pay special attention while connecting the SC/APC connectors - you must hear the “click” when the connection is made. RF Rules • Use coax RG223, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type for RF connections from the BUs to the BTS/RBS and to the RIU.
Appendix B: Ordering Information MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 53 • When using the MobileAccess system in an environment in which other indoor coverage systems are installed, it is recommended (where possible) that the antennas are placed at least two meters apart • When bending coax cables, verify that the bending radius does not exceed the coax specifications. • Use wideband antennas supporting a range of 800Mhz to 2500Mhz • Use a VSWR meter (i.e. Site Master or equivalent) for checking coax cables, including the antennas. (<2). The VSWR must be measured prior to terminating the RUs in the remote communication rooms • Terminate all unused RU and RIU ports with a 50 ohm load Power Consumption, Connections and Power Supplies Power Safety Instructions SAFETY WARNINGS • When installing or selecting the power supplies: • Be sure to disconnect all power sources before servicing. • SC-450 Controller lithium type battery should only be replaced by MobileAccess service personnel. Risk of exploding if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. • Calculate the required power according to the requirements of the specific installation and then determine the configuration of the power supplies. The required DC cables will then be determined by the selected PS configuration. • Use only UL approved power supplies • AC and DC power supply cables – only use the power cords supplied with the units • Battery replacement in units - only the SC-450 controller has batteries. These should be replaced (when necessary) only by MA Service Personnel. • Install external over-current protective devices for the system according to the requirements. Power Consumption of Units Table 4-3. MobileAccess Power Requirements Unit Type Voltage Input Power Consumption Maximum Current Consumption HX Remote Unit – Indoor Model Local: 90-264V AC or Remote: 36 to 75V DC 350W (max) - HX Remote Unit – Outdoor Model Local: 90-264V AC or Remote: 36 to 75V DC 350W (max) - Base Unit 20 to 48V DC 14W 0.7A SC-450 Controller 36 to 60 V DC 10W 0.2A
Appendix B: Ordering Information MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 54 Circuit Breakers Install fuse protections for the system according to the following criteria: • The following system elements require external fuse protection: RIUs, BUs, and SC-450 Controllers. • Referring to Table 4-3, calculate the required fuse protection. • Example: a set of three elements consisting of a BU, RIU and SC-450 controller requires a 2A circuit breaker. Types of Power Supplies MobileAccess supplies various power supplies that can be installed in a rack or mounted on a wall, depending on your configuration. Installation Conventions Some of the basic installation conventions are listed below for the MA 2000 system: • Base Units – are usually concentrated in the same location, most often in the main communication room. • Remote Cabinet/Lite – usually placed in the communication shaft or closet of a corresponding floor so they can be easily located. Each cabinet (or MA2000-Lite) can typically cover a floor of up to 30,000 sq ft. • Fiber optic cable - bundled fibers are terminated into the Base Units in the main communication room. The fibers are then routed to each coverage locations where individual fibers terminate into splice boxes. The splice box couples the installed fiber into the remote units. Enough spare fibers should be installed to take into account future expansion of the system. For example, for three remote units, six fibers are required. However, to allow for future expansion, it is recommended to install additional optic fibers to be connected to additional RUs. Continued on the following page...
Appendix B: Ordering Information MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 55 The following figure illustrates fiber optic routing to Remote Cabinets. Figure 4-6. Illustration of Fiber Optic Routing • For remote power supply configuration - cable bundles are routed from the main communication room and individual wire pairs are terminated into the power feed of individual units. By providing power from a single distribution point, maintenance can be reduced and UPS backup can be easily provided. The maximum distance from the source to the termination spot is 1000 feet using 18 gauge wires. In many locations local codes do not require power to be run through conduit if 100 watts or less is used. Please consult the regulations in your local jurisdiction prior to deploying remote power. When power cables require distances greater than 1000 feet 14 or 16 gauge wire may be used. • On each floor - the antennas are connected to the Remote Cabinet or MA2000-Lite system using coax cables.
