MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 1 1 IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn ttoo tthhee MMAA 22000000 SSoolluuttiioonn The MobileAccess MA 2000 solution provides enterprise level indoor coverage, of a wide range of multi-operator wireless services over a single broadband infrastructure. Front-end wireless RF services are routed, over optic fibers, to MA 2000 series hubs that are securely located in remote telecommunication closets at each remote location. These modular service aggregation platforms precisely combine multiple wireless services including Cellular, Paging and Public Safety signals for simultaneous distribution over a common broadband infrastructure. Two MA 2000 models are available: • MA 2000 Lite– supports the external connection of two emote Hub Units (RHU’s). Allows the capability integrating wireless service Add-ons and 860 WLAN modules with the remote units. • MA 2000 Cabinet (MRC) – internally houses a total of five Remote Hub Units (RHU’s) and add-on units. Allows the capability of externally integrating 860 WLAN module and 700/800 Public Safety units externally. Figure 1-1. MA 2000 Lite (left side) and MA 2000 Cabinet (right side) MA 2000 Lite MA 2000 Cabinet
Introduction to the MA 2000 Solution System Architecture MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 2 The supported units are: • Remote Hub Units (RHUs) – Wireless service specific modules that support up to two services and perform the optic to RF conversion, filtering and amplification at the remote locations. • 700/800 Public Safety Remote Hub Unit – RHU specifically designed to support public safety. • Add On – Service specific module that provides support for an additional service to an existing RHU. • 860 WLAN Module – Module that supports WLAN services Features and Capabilities • Multi-service platform that accommodates virtually any combination of wireless voice and data services eliminating the need for separate overlay networks • Scalable and future-safe – services can be added and removed without affecting existing operators or end-users • MA 2000 Lite components can be migrated to MA 2000 MRC for increased capacity • All active components are located in the communication closet/room • Carrier class operation – MA 2000 advanced signal handling ensures optimal performance for all services within a multi-operator deployment • Local and remote end-to-end monitoring and control through interface to SC-450 (and 410/430) controllers • Conditioning and monitoring of input RF signals at the head-end through interface to MA-RIU NOTE: MobileAccess is in the process of transition to 2000M products that will support both singlemode fiber and multimode fiber. The new Base Unit is designated by WBM (Wide Band M), and the new RHUs will be indicated by 2000M RHUs, where the suffix “M” indicates that the product will support both single mode and multimode fiber usage. The new products have the same packaging and performance and are fully backward compatible. See 3.3.2 for details on multimode fiber use. 1.1 System Architecture At the head-end Mobile Access elements provide interface to the wireless service provider’s network, where the signals can be conditioned through an active interface and transported over optic fiber to the remote end. At the remote end, the optical signal is reconverted to RF, amplified, filtered and distributed over the broadband antenna infrastructure.
Introduction to the MA 2000 Solution System Architecture MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 3 For end-to-end control, controllers installed at the head-end provide direct interface to the MA elements and through them, control over the remote end elements. Figure 1-2. System Architecture Figure 1-2 shows a basic block diagram of the system operation. On the downlink, services from the BTS/BDA are transferred via interface to the Base Units (BUs). The interface, which may be passive (i.e. Interface Box) or active (RIU), is used to attenuate the RF signals to the required levels, converge them and distribute them to the BUs. The BUs are wideband – they are not service specific. At the BUs, the RF signals are converted to optical signals and transmitted over the optic fiber to (service-specific) RHUs at the remote locations. At the remote locations, the RHUs supported by the hub reconvert the optical signal to RF. The hub elements converge the voice services together with 802.11 a/b/g data services (if 860 WLAN units are installed) and distribute them over the coax antenna infrastructure. MA 410/430 (in installations with remote management) provides monitoring and control of all active system elements.
Introduction to the MA 2000 Solution Application Examples MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 4 1.2 Application Examples Figure 1-3 shows an example of an MA 2000 Cabinet based solution. Five services from two different operators are distributed, where services from Operator A conflict with those from Operator B. The converted optical signal is routed from the BUs directly to the corresponding RHUs in each Cabinet over optic fiber. Each BU supports connections to 8 RHUs. Additional BUs are required for connection to more RHUs. Services 1 and 2 are distributed through one of the RHUs supported in each Cabinet. Services 3, 4 and 5 are distributed through the second RHU and the Add-on unit connected to that RU. 860 WLAN converges 802.11a/b/g data services with the voice services to be distributed through a common infrastructure of coax and wideband antennas. Figure 1-3. Example of MA 2000 Cabinet Architecture
Introduction to the MA 2000 Solution Application Examples MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 5 Figure 1-4 shows an example of an MA 2000 Lite based solution. Four services from two different operators are distributed. The converted optical signal is routed from the BUs directly to the corresponding RHUs over optic fiber. Services 1 and 2 are distributed through one of the RHUs supported by MA 2000 Lite. Services 3 and 4 are distributed through the second RU. The combiner and filter provides interface to the antennas.

MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 21 3 SSiittee PPrreeppaarraattiioonn 3.1 Infrastructure Preparation This following installation rules are based on the assumption that site survey and installation planning (including power requirements) have been completed. 3.2 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. This includes the 860 WLAN, 802.11 Access Points, cabling and other voice service distribution systems that are relevant to the specific installation.
Site Preparation MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 22 3.3 Coaxial Cable Connections 3.3.1 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. 3.3.2 Fiber Optic Rules • Either single mode or multimode fiber can be used with MobileAccess 1000M products, while MobileAccess 1000 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
Site Preparation MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 23 • 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. 3.3.3 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. • 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 RHUs in the remote communication rooms • Terminate all unused RHU and RIU ports with a 50 ohm load
Site Preparation MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 24 3.3.4 Coax Cable Lengths and Losses Use coax ½”, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type, for connecting to RHU and antenna ports. NOTE: The required distance between the antennas (installed in the ceiling) depends on the infrastructure and calculated path-loss. For example, if there is free space-loss between the antennas, a minimum distance of 100 ft is required; if there are partitions (loss) between the antennas, a distance of less than 100 ft between them is allowed. Coax Length coax Loss (900Mhz) connector loss Total Loss 30 0.7 1.5 2.2 40 0.9 1.5 2.4 50 1.1 1.5 2.6 60 1.3 1.5 2.8 70 1.5 1.5 3 80 1.7 1.5 3.2 90 1.9 1.5 3.4 100 2.1 1.5 3.6 110 2.3 1.5 3.8 120 2.5 1.5 4 130 2.7 1.5 4.2 140 2.9 1.5 4.4 150 3.1 1.5 4.6 160 3.3 1.5 4.8 170 3.5 1.5 5 180 3.7 1.5 5.2 190 3.9 1.5 5.4 200 4.1 1.5 5.6
Site Preparation MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 25 3.4 Power Consumption, Connections and Power Supplies 3.4.1 Power Safety Instructions SAFETY WARNINGS • When installing or selecting the power supplies: • Be sure to disconnect all power sources before servicing. • MA 410/430 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 – use only the power cords supplied with the units • Battery replacement in units - only the MA 410/430 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 described in section 3.4.2. 3.4.2 Power Consumption of Units Table 3-1.

Site Preparation MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 26 3.4.3 Circuit Breakers Install fuse protections for the system according to the following criteria: • The following system elements require external fuse protection: RIUs, BUs, and 410/430 Controllers. • Referring to Table 3-1, calculate the required fuse protection. • Example: a set of three elements consisting of a BU, RIU and MA 410/430 controller requires a 2A circuit breaker. 3.4.4 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. NOTE: Refer to Appendix II, section 0 for list of power supplies. 3.5 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 2000 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 RHUs. Continued on the following page...

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 2000 Lite system using coax cables.
MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 28 4 SSyysstteemm IInnssttaallllaattiioonn This chapter describes how the communication room and cabinet are installed. The individual system elements and connections are described in the Chapter 2. NOTE: Be sure to read the installation requirements (see 3.2) and Power Consumption related instructions (see 3.3.4) before proceeding with the actual connections. 4.1 Pre-installation Instructions In order to describe the installation process clearly, it will be described as consisting of two logical parts: A. Telecommunications room – installing the RIUs, BUs, MA SC-450 (or 410/430) controllers, and the required passive equipment in the telecommunication room close to the RF signal source. This installation may differ between single and multi-building topologies. B. Remote locations – two types of installations: • MA 2000 Lite • RC Cabinet The installations for two basic topologies are described in detail: for single building and for multi-building. By understanding the two generic installations you will be able to address any variations in system deployment. NOTE: For installations that include the MA NMS: Once the installation has been completed, it can be verified using the MCT application (NMS User’s Guide) and the devices monitored using the NMS Manager (NMS User’s Guide). 4.1.1 Unpacking and Inspection This section provides instructions for opening the shipping boxes, verifying that all parts have been received, and verifying that no shipping damage has occurred. Unpack and inspect the cartons according to the following procedure 1. Open the shipping carton and carefully unpack each unit from the protective packing material. 2. Check for signs of external damage. If there is any damage, call your MobileAccess service representative.

Support for additional bands is implemented by an RHU module and RHU specific hardware designed to prevent interference with other existing bands in the coverage area. For support for additional services, connect the corresponding RHU and hardware (Cavity Filter, Duplexer, etc.) to the 8x4 Module and to the external coax infrastructure. NOTE: It is required to order an Accessory Kit for each new unit to be added to the installation. The kit includes cables for connecting the RHU 2000 or Add-on add on units to the required filters. Because of the differences in cable length requirements, the accessory kit differs for units designated to be installed in 2000 Cabinets and for those designated to be installed with MA 2000 Lite systems.
