Introduction to the MA 850 System
This chapter provides a description of the MA 850 system, its architecture, installation
configurations, operation and required commissioning procedures.
1.1
About MobileAccess MA 850
Figure 1-1. MobileAccess 850
The MA-850 Wi-Fi Module enables 802.11b/g Wi-Fi signals to be combined with other wireless
services for simultaneous distribution over the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network. It can
be deployed in a stand-alone mode, for distribution of Wi-Fi only, or it can be connected to
other MobileAccess elements (MA-1000/2000) to deliver Wi-Fi along with other wireless services
including cellular/PCS, public safety, and WMTS.
Unlike traditional Wi-Fi deployments, where 802.11 Access Points (APs) are installed on ceilings
and walls throughout the facility, the MA-850 enables organizations to cluster their 802.11 APs
together in secure telecom closets. With the clustering approach, IT managers can more easily
access APs, which ultimately reduces the operational costs of managing the Wi-Fi network and
minimizes disruption within the facility.

Signal Distribution in the MA 850
1.5
Signal Distribution in the MA 850
The MA 850 distributes the 802.11b/g signals from each AP port to the corresponding antenna
port. For example, the signals from an AP connected to MA 850 b/g-1 are routed to antenna1; signals from an AP connected to MA 850 b/g-2 are routed to antenna-2, etc.
Note: Mobile services (in installations where MA 850 units are integrated into MA 1000/2000
installations), the mobile services are distributed over the antenna ports corresponding to the
SMA connection ports.
Figure 1-8. Example of 802.11 Signal Distribution
1.6
Commissioning and Monitoring
MA 850 requires no local commissioning. The unit is assigned a default IP address (labeled on its
network port) which can be remotely redefined using the procedure in section 4.2.1. No other
setup procedure is required: after the unit ports and cables are connected, the unit can be
remotely accessed for monitoring and management.
In addition, MA 850 provides MIBs that enables viewing traps and configuring the unit through
standard SNMP (Version 2.0) managers such as HP OpenView (see Chapter 5 ).
NOTE: MA service personnel can perform setup procedures on the MA 850, through a
connection from a computer running the Configuration Tool application supplied by MA.

Infrastructure Preparation
This chapter contains information on the cabling and power requirements for the MA 850
system, as well as the antenna types and access points that can be used.
2.1
Installation Requirements
The infrastructure preparation consists of two main phases:
1. Floor Planning: Planning the distribution of the antennas on each floor to provide the
required coverage. This phase varies depending on whether the coverage is only for WLAN
or includes voice coverage through the existing infrastructure:
•
For voice and WLAN 802.11b/g coverage- Use only antennas listed in section 2.4.1
table I
2. Telecom Closet Planning: Planning the layout of the devices and cables in the telecom
closet or shaft. This includes the MA 850, 802.11 Access Points, cabling and other voice
service distribution systems such as MA 1000/2000 that are relevant to the specific
installation.

Coaxial Cable Connections
2.2
Coaxial Cable Connections
2.2.1
General Cable Installation Procedures
•
Observe the general cable installation procedures in accordance with the building codes in
your area.
•
The building code requires that all cabling be installed above ceiling level (where applicable).
Each length of cable from the risers to each antenna must be concealed above ceiling.
•
The cable must be properly supported and maintained straight. This is done either by using
tie wraps or cable trays and clamps or hangers every 10 feet (where practical above ceiling
level). Where this is not obtainable, the following should be observed:
•
2.2.2
•
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 mechanical structures
that are suitably located.
The cables should be supported only from the building structure.
RF Rules
•
Use coax ½”, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type, (6-7dB for 1Ghz, 11dB for 2Ghz) for
connecting to RHU and RHU ports.
•
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 only antennas listed in section 2.4.1.
•
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 MA 850 ports with a 50 ohm load

Error indication:
Red AP – an AP is not connected or faulty.
Red antenna – antenna not detected by antenna sense
mechanism
Red Amp – channel malfunction identified in the MA 850 unit
Purple
Location (not status) of backup AP in one-AP or two-AP
configurations with in which the redundancy option is enabled.
Only if the backup AP is activated (upon failure of a default AP),
does its color indicate status (green, red).
Gray
4.3
Not relevant in current configuration – whether an AP is
physically connected to the specific port or not.
Gain Setting
The default gain for each channel is set to 0dB. MA 850 enables the authorized user (admin
level) to adjust the gain for every channel to counteract changes in the environment.
For example, you may want to reduce the coverage area of a channel to prevent interference.
Or, the output of an AP with a low power (<20dBm) can be increased using the gain value.
To change the gain setting of a channel
1. Click the Setting button in the Main window. The Gain Setting options appear.

Monitoring Alarms
MA 850 provides the following alarms, which may be viewed by clicking the Alarms button in
the Main window:
•
Access Point Sense – senses the connection of configured APs
•
Low power – internal channel operation status
•
Antenna sense – senses connected antennas. This option can be disabled for antennas
that are not connected

Traps List
SNMP Management Using Any Standard
SNMP Manager
The MA 850 packages provide MIBSs that enable standard SNMP (Version 2.0) managers such
as HP OpenView to view event traps sent by the MA 850 unit and to configure the unit.
One MIB file is provided: MA-XPORT850-MIB– describes the architecture of the managed
elements and contains the events in the system
NOTE: These traps provide a general indication of the type of failure. The MA 850 enables
identifying the source of the problem and system monitoring parameters.

Traps List
NOTE: Traps are only sent to defined trap destinations (section 4.2.1.4).
The following traps are provided:

Traps List
To view the traps using any standard SNMP manager
NOTE: It is assumed that the IP Address of at least one destination is already defined.
From a computer configured as a trap destination (configured to receive the traps), load the two
MIB files to the SNMP manager. The following figure shows the MIB tree that includes the
loaded MobileAccess 850 file.
