The 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 that 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.

Introduction to HX System System Architecture
MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 3
1.1 System Architecture
MobileAccessHX provides a complete solution consisting of HX remote units at the remote
locations and head-end elements that are shared with any existing MA1000/MA2000 system that
is either installed or being installed at the site.
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 MobileAccessHX Remote Unit consists of a compact enclosure that houses the RF module
(supporting up to four services), power elements, and the required interfaces. At the remote
end, the optical signal is reconverted to RF, amplified, filtered and distributed over the
broadband antenna infrastructure through a single antenna port.
The HX unit is remotely managed from the SC-450 Controller installed at the head-end. The SC-
450 connection to the HX is indirect – via the (host) Base Unit to which the HX is connected. SC-
450 provides a central point for management of MobileAccessHX, MA2000 and MA1000 systems.

Introduction to HX System Application Topologies
MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 4
1.2 Application Topologies
MobileAccessHX can be installed in various site topologies, where the setup procedure varies
accordingly:
• High power coverage via a single antenna – installation is usually on pole or mast – used for
open area, stadium, parking lots, etc.
• RF signal is distributed over several antennas via splitters
• Special coverage requirements using directional antennas
1.3 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.
1.4 HX Unit Interfaces
The HX
antenna port
is located
externally
. All other interfaces such as F/O connections, power
connections, etc. are located inside the cabinet and are accessed by opening the cabinet door.
Introduction to HX System HX Unit Interfaces
MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 5
The HX model consists of the following main components – open door view:
• Quad-band Service Module – connects to the Base Unit using a single fiber pair and supports
up to four services
• External Amplifiers blade – 2 External Amplifiers are mounted on each of the 2 blades and
provide the additional amplification on the DL signals coming from the Quad-band Service
Module top the Multiplexer
• 8:1 Multiplexer – combines UL & DL signals of the 4 bands, while providing the proper
filtering, into a single duplexed antenna port
• Power supply – local AC or Remote DC power feed (model depended)
• Duplexed antenna port – interface to RF antennas
Note: More information on the components and LEDs is provided in the tables in the next page.

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 consists of two simple steps: assign the unit name (Module
Info tab) and click 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.
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
• RF Parameters – service control options.

4.2 Basic Setup Procedure
To perform basic setup
1. Verify that the alarms show green in the following tabs:
• HX Cabinet Alarms – displays system level alarms
The following table provides a description of the device alarms shown above.
Table 4-1. HX Alarms Description

DL Output Power Low DL Output Power < “Target Adjustment value” 1
15dB
Over Temperature Ambient temperature inside the HX unit >65°C
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.
Provisioning the MobileAccessHX Basic Setup Procedure
MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 27
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.
3. Assign the unit a recognizable name (i.e. corresponding to its location):
In the Module Info tab, click the Modify button, enter the required text and click OK. The
assigned name will be displayed.
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

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.

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.

• 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 C: Site Preparation
MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 39
• 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.

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 4-2, 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.

Appendix C: Site Preparation
MobileAccessHX Installation and Configuration Guide 42
The following figure illustrates fiber optic routing to Remote Cabinets.
Figure 4-1. 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.
