Test the continuity for the Ethernet cables with test equipment consisting of a main and a remote unit. The termination for these interfaces is specified within the datasheets for the interfaces. The specification for both cables should be CAT5 - 4 pair, screened cable, recommended Alcatel LANmark-5 F2TP or equivalent. Notes: Points to remember when installing Category 5 cables for the Node B 1000Base T Ethernet Backhaul. 1. Do not kink the cable as the pairs are twisted to support 100MHz operation and splitting the pairs could reduce the performance of the cable. 2. When installing the RJ45 plugs onto the cable ensure pairs are untwisted to the minimum and that the cable sheath is clamped within the connector. Again this is to ensure the performance of the cable is not reduced. The pin-outs for the external Ethernet interfaces are given in the following table & figure.

V5 Node B Installation Guide Version 1.0.6 Page 35 of 44 Step 10 Antenna Cabling - Installation Antennae and coaxial cable should be available at the site, and are part of the construction checklist and general assumptions. Two antennae per Node B Radio Equipment Shelf are optimum, allowing receiver diversity and transmit diversity (note: if option fitted), therefore two coaxial cables per Node B are needed. Diversity can be via polarization, in which case two feeder runs to the same antenna are needed, feeding oppositely polarised sectors in the same physical enclosure. Cables should be properly marked to indicate what antenna the coaxial cables are to be connected to the Node B serving the sector or area. In the case where only one feeder / antenna is being used, this must be connected to the top connector when viewed from the front of the Node B. The unused port shall be terminated with a 50 load. The following installation describes the position of the antenna ports and designations. Figure 5-15 : Antenna Connections & Routing

V5 Node B Installation Guide Version 1.0.6 Page 37 of 44 Alarm Inputs There are five external alarm inputs are connected via the 15wayD male type located on the Control Card of the Control shelf. The maximum input voltage is restricted to 12V and 2.5mA with a minimum working voltage of 6V. All five input circuits are the same. The external alarm inputs are opto-isolated current loops. The voltage and currents shall be supplied by the external source. The pin-out for the alarm inputs are shown in the table below. Table 5-8 : Alarm Inputs & Outputs Pin # Signal 4 ALARM_IN_A0 + 11 ALARM_IN_B0 - 5 ALARM_IN_A1 + 12 ALARM_IN_B1 - 6 ALARM_IN_A2 + 13 ALARM_IN_B2 - 7 ALARM_IN_A3 + 14 ALARM_IN_B3 - 1 ALARM_OUT_A0 + 9 ALARM_OUT_B0 - 2 ALARM_OUT_A1 + 10 ALARM_OUT_B1 - 15 Earth GND D-Shell /Chassis GND Alarm Outputs The external alarm outputs are connected via the same 15wayD male located on the Control Card of the Control shelf. The external alarm outputs shall be isolated normally-open relay contacts capable of switching 100mA DC. The pin-out for the alarm inputs are shown in the table above.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Version 1.0.6 Page 38 of 44 Step 12 GPS Installation & Operation The Node B has an external/remote GPS antenna and receiver. The connection for the antenna (N-Type) is located on the Control Shelf, Figure 5-17. The GPS timing signal is used by the Node B for the TDD frame timing, so that all Node B's in a network are synchronized. The GPS signal is also used by the master oscillator for a frequency reference. The Node B can operate for two hours after a loss of GPS timing but a gradual drift of the frame timing will result in system interference and a loss of Node B selection / reselection capability. A suitable Node B GPS antenna is shipped with every Node B. This antenna should be used with a total cable attenuation of minimum 8dB to maximum 25dB with male N-type connectors at each end. By example cable RG6 8dB  30m and 25dB  90m. For long runs, the cable losses will affect signal strength and could impede GPS signal performance. For proper operation of the GPS receiver, the Node B GPS Antenna must have a clear southern view of the sky (northern hemisphere installations). A site survey should be done before Node B installation to verify that the Node B installation location is suitable for GPS reception. A simple survey method is to take a handheld GPS receiver to the site and verify that GPS lock is obtained in the location of the Node B installation. The handheld GPS should be able to obtain a "locked" condition within 2 minutes of power-on, and should be able to see a minimum of 4 satellites at all times. The GPS receiver, integral to the Node B Control shelf, is automatically enabled when the Node B is powered and there are no adjustments or settings to be made by the user. Note: When the Node B installation is on or near a tower or building wall, the GPS survey should replicate the configuration. Figure 5-17 : GPS Antenna GPS Antenna Field of Vision No Obstructions
