Fiber-Span Rev A Page 5 of 25 1. Summary This document is intended to cover the operation of the Fiber-Span Dual Band Outdoor DAS FS42R-1719E. It provides the reader with a general description of the product and its interfaces. It contains information intended for engineers, technicians and operators working with the Dual Band Outdoor DAS. 2. General Description The Fiber-Span fiber fed Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is a wireless optical network which can be used to expand network and capacity needs and to overcome site location constraints involving zoning issues, limited space availability or prohibitive BTS based site lease costs . It provides connectivity between a BTS site and several Remote Antenna sites through a fiber optic link. The DAS is made up of two main components; one FTU and three Remote Fiber Nodes. Shown below are the FTU and the three Remote Fiber Nodes. The FTU is located near the BTS site and the Remote Fiber Node is located at the antenna site.

Fiber-Span Rev A Page 8 of 25 3.3 Remote Fiber Node Detailed Description The Remote Fiber Node is a dual band duplexer/amplifier system. On the UL path, the Remote Fiber Node amplifies the RF signal (low noise amplifier) and converts it to optical. On the DL path (TX), the Remote Fiber Node converts the input optical signal to RF and amplifies the signal to 20Watts (power amplifier). Following is a brief description of each module. OP/RF Module: Converts RF to optical and optical to RF. One is used for the PCS band and a second one is used for the AWS band. MCPA: Multi-carrier Power Amplfiier. The MCPA amplifies the RF output power to 20Watts (43dBm). Both MCPAs are multicarrier, thereby insuring optimal ACP performance. DLNA: Duplexer/Low Noise Amplifier. The DLNA duplexes the Rx and Tx signals and is designed to amplify the RX path and improve the sysem’s noise floor. Controller: The Controller provides power, control and monitoring to the various modules of the Remote Fiber Node. The controller also provides communication with the unit, via a GUI based application, that can be used to display information on the operating conditions and alarm conditions of the Remote Fiber Node. 3.4 Remote Fiber Node (RFN) External Interfaces (Standard Configuration) 3.4.1 Remote Fiber Node Interface Description Interface Description Limits, Max.

Fiber-Span Rev A Page 10 of 25 4.2 Fiber Transceiver Unit Detailed Description The Fiber Transceiver Unit (FTU) has two different functions: it converts the input optical signal to RF on the UL path (Rx), converts the RF input signal to optical on the DL path (Tx) and it also monitors and controls the network (FTU and RFN) via the Element manager. The FTU has two different input configurations: • Separate Tx & Rx: For low power compact base station with separate Rx and Tx signals, input power –5dBm to 5dBm. • Optional Diplexed Tx/Rx: For Tx/Rx diplexed signal from base station, input power 0- 43dBm. In this configuration, the FTU attenuates the RF input to a suitable level for the fiber optic link (0dBm) on the DL path (Tx). Following is the block diagram of the FTU and a brief description of each module. OP/RF Module: Converts RF to optical and optical to RF. RF Board: On the BTS port, duplexes the Rx and Tx signals and attenuates the RF input signal to 0dBm. On the RX separate path (Rx out), it sets the gain of the Rx path. On the TX separate path ( Tx in), it sets the gain of the Tx path. Controller: The Controller provides power, control and monitoring to RF Board and OP/RF modules. The controller also provides communication with the unit via a GUI based application that can be used to display FTU information. The controller also provides communication with the Remote Fiber Node via the fiber optic link. Communication to the controller is established by an RS485 local Ethernet port.

Graphic User Interface (GUI) A Fiber-Span GUI is provided to control and monitor the performance of the Dual Band Outdoor DAS. The GUI can be used to monitor 1 FTU and 3 Remote Fiber Nodes using a local connection. The GUI that needs to be installed on the computer to monitor both the AWS and PCS FTUs.: DAS GUI vX.YY.exe Following are the steps required to install and run both GUIs. Create a folder for each AWS and PCS and copy the corresponding GUI inside along with a copy of DAS-Profile.ini file Install WinPcap software Connect each FTU to a hub and to PC Run both GUI from their new folders GUI Interface – 1 FTU In order for the GUI to communicate with the Dual Band Outdoor DAS, a cable needs to be connected between a PC/Laptop and the FTU communication port – ETHERNET port. The FTU controller uses RS485 protocol on its ETHERNET port. The FTU communicates with the Remote Fiber Node through Fiber Optic Link, no other connection is required to the Remote Fiber Node to communicate with the GUI. The PCS GUI is required to connect to the PCS FTU and the AWS GUI is required to connect to the AWS FTU. Therefore, there are two instances of the Fiber-Span GUI running at the same time to monitor both FTUs. Following is the snapshot of the GUI, there are two pages which are displayed on the screen: 1. Settings Page: This is the page where all the settings for the network, e-mail server, and dialy logs are entered. This is the first page to come up every time the user starts-up the GUI. It is also available from the Display Page using the “Settings”button. 2. System Performance Page: This is where the DAS system performance parameters are displayed for 1 FTU.
