1. Safety Precautions
PLEASE READ THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
Do not turn on power before reading Moseley’s product documentation. This device has a
-48V DC direct current input.
1.1 RF Energy Health Hazard
This symbol indicates a risk of personal injury due to radio frequency
exposure.
The radio equipment described in this guide uses radio frequency transmitters.
Although the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a directional
antenna may pose a health hazard. Do not allow people to come in close proximity to the
front of the antenna while the transmitter is operating. The antenna will be professionally
installed on fixed-mounted outdoor permanent structures to provide separation from any
other antenna and all persons.
WARNING: FCC RF exposure compliance requires a minimum separation distance of
33.9cm maintained between the user and antenna when the product is used with a 9dBi
antenna. For point-to-point use with a 26dBi antenna, this distance must be increased to
a user separation distance of 240cm.
Appropriate warning signs must be properly placed and posted at the equipment site and
access entries.
1.2 Protection from Lightning
Article 810 of the US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996
specifies that radio and television lead-in cables must have adequate surge
protection at or near the point of entry to the building. The code specifies that
any shielded cable from an external antenna must have the shield directly
connected to a 10 AWG wire that connects to the building ground electrode.
1.3 Protection from RF Burns
It is hazardous to look into or stand in front of an active antenna aperture. Do not stand
in front of or look into an antenna without first ensuring the associated transmitter or
transmitters are switched off. Do not look into the waveguide port when the radio is
active.
1.4 Risk of Personal Injury from Fiber Optics
DANGER: Invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to the end of a fiber, fiber
cord, or fiber pigtail. The infrared light used in fiber optics systems is invisible, but can
cause serious injury to the eye.
WARNING: Never touch exposed fiber with any part of your body. Fiber fragments can
enter the skin and are difficult to detect and remove.
1.5 This is a Class A product
WARNING: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause
radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures to
remedy the interference.
1.6 Turn off all power before servicing
WARNING: Turn off all power before servicing.
Event 5800 Installation & Reference Manual 1-2

1.7 Power Supply Safety Requirements
Safety requirements require a switch be employed between the external DC power
supply and the EVENT 5800 power supplies. The switch must disconnect both poles of the
power supply. A single-pole disconnect device can be used to disconnect the line
conductor where it is possible to rely on the identification of an earthed conductor in a
DC MAINS SUPPLY. The supplied AC to DC converter alleviates this requirement since
the AC MAINS connector can be unplugged to disconnect the power.
1.8 Battery must be replaced correctly
CAUTION: There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of
used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Panasonic (or equivalent) is the manufacturer of the battery (Part Number: 2032).
Disposal instructions are available on the Panasonic website. Please dispose in
accordance with local regulations.
1.9 Proper Disposal
The manufacture of the equipment described herein has required the
extraction and use of natural resources. Improper disposal may contaminate
the environment and present a health risk due to the release of hazardous
substances contained within. To avoid dissemination of these substances
into our environment, and to lessen the demand on natural resources, we
encourage you to use the appropriate recycling systems for disposal. These
systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials found in this equipment in a sound
way. Please contact Moseley or your supplier for more information on the proper disposal
of this equipment.
1.10 Equipment RF Protection
CAUTION: Do not operate the EVENT 5800 without an antenna, attenuator or
load connected to the antenna port. Otherwise, damage may occur to the
transmitter module due to excessive reflected RF energy.
CAUTION: Always attenuate the signal into the receiver antenna port to lest than
–20 dBm ( 22.4 mV / 10 mW ). This will prevent overload and possible damage
to the receiver module.

All modules are inserted from the back panel of the chassis. All modules are hot
swappable. The modularity allows for future upgrades via new hardware modules
without a full replacement of a complete chassis. In addition, repair and maintenance
costs are minimized since individual modules can be repaired or replaced.
2.3.3 Back Panel Connectors
The following illustration shows EVENT 5800 back panel connector locations in a typical,
basic unit.
2.3.3.1 Power Supply Module Connector
-48V Power Input: -48V (Non-isolated Input); 2-pin captive power connector. EVENT
5800 requires an input of -48 Volts DC ±10% at the back panel DC Input connector. The
total required power depends on the option cards and protection configuration (1+0,
1+1). Back panel power connector pins are numbered 1-2, from left to right, when facing
the unit back panel. Pin 1 is the power supply return and is connected to chassis ground
internally. Pin 2 should be supplied with a nominal -48V DC, with respect to the unit
chassis (ground). A ground-isolated supply may be used, provided it will tolerate
grounding of its most positive output.
The recommended power input is -44 to -52V DC at 2 Amps minimum. Any power supply
used must be able to supply a minimum of 125 W to the EVENT 5800.
A mating power cable connector is supplied with EVENT 5800. It is a 2-pin plug, 5 mm
pitch, manufactured by Phoenix Contact, P/N 17 86 83 1 (connector type MSTB 2, 5/2-
STF). This connector has screw clamp terminals that accommodate 24 AWG to 12 AWG
wire. The power cable wire should be selected to provide the appropriate current with
minimal voltage drop, based on the power supply voltage and length of cable required.
The recommended wire size for power cables under 10 feet in length supplying -48V DC
is 18 AWG, minimum.
EVENT 5800 unit does not have a power on/off switch. When DC power is connected to
the unit, the digital radio powers up and is operational. There can be up to 5 W of RF
power present at the antenna port. The antenna should be directed safely when power is
applied. The EVENT 5800 is normally supplied with an external power supply that has an
on/off switch.

Controller Status LED: This LED is the primary back panel indicator of alarms. An
alarm is generated when a specific condition is identified and is cleared when the
specified condition is no longer detected. When an alarm is posted,
1) The controller status LED turns orange for 5 seconds
2) The controller status LED turns off for 5 seconds
3) The controller status LED flashes orange the number of times specified by the first
digit of the alarm code
4) The controller status LED turns off for 3 seconds
5) The controller status LED flashes orange the number of times specified by the second
digit of the alarm code
Steps 2-5 are repeated for each alarm posted. The entire process is repeated as long as
the alarms are still posted.
For all modules, a green LED indicates normal operation and a red LED indicates mdule
fault. Alarms are also shown in the Web Interface, Command Line Interface (CLI), and .

Figure 2-9. EVENT 5800 Block Diagram
The functional partitions for the I/O, Modem/IF, power supply modules, up/down
converters, and internal RF duplexing partition are shown. EVENT 5800 comes with the
standard I/O capability which can be upgraded. The Modem/IF function is modular
allowing the addition of a second Modem to support protection or ring architectures. The
power supply is similarly modular. In addition, the radio transceivers are interchangeable
allowing use of a single EVENT 5800 in licensed, unlicensed, and short-haul applications
by swapping the RF component.
The Radio Transceiver RF Up/Down Converter provides the interface to the antenna. The
transmit section up converts and amplifies the modulated Intermediate Frequency (IF) of
350 MHz from the IF Processor and provides additional filtering. The receive section down
2. System Description 2-11

converts the received signal, provides additional filtering, and outputs an IF of 140 MHz
to the IF Processor.
The EVENT 5800 digital radio modem performs QPSK, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM, 128-
QAM and 256-QAM modulation and demodulation of the payload and forward error
correction using advanced modulation and coding techniques. Using all-digital processing,
the IF Modem uses robust modulation and forward error correction coding to minimize
the number of bit errors and optimize the radio and network performance. The IF Modem
also scrambles, descrambles and interleaves/deinterleaves the data stream in accordance
with Intelsat standards to ensure modulation efficiency and resilience to sustained burst
errors. The modulation will vary by application, data rate, and frequency spectrum. The
highest order modulation mode supported is 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
(QAM). Table 2-5 summarizes the TCM/convolutional code rates for each modulation type
supported by EVENT 5800.

The major functions of the EVENT 5800 include:
I/O Processing – EVENT 5800 comes with a standard I/O capability that includes
support for up to 16xT1/E1 and 2x100Base-TX user payloads, 2x100Base-TX for
SNMP. In addition, option cards for DVB-ASI, DS-3/E3/STS-1, 1-2 x STM-1/OC-3, and
4xDS-3/E3/STS-1 may be added. The EVENT 5800 architecture is flexible and allows
for the addition of other I/O types in the future.
Switch/Framing – EVENT 5800 includes an Ethernet Switch and a proprietary
Framer that are designed to support 1+1 protection switching, ring architecture
routing, and overall network control functions.
Network Processor – EVENT 5800 includes a Network Processor which performs
SNMP and Network Management functions.
Modem/IF – The EVENT 5800 modem performs forward-error-correction (FEC)
encoding, PSK/QAM modulation and demodulation, equalization, and FEC decoding
functions. The IF chain provides a 350 MHz carrier and receives a 140 MHz carrier.
Two modems can be used for 1+1 protection or ring architectures.
Power Supply – The EVENT 5800 power supply accepts 48V DC and supplies the
EVENT 5800 and radio transceiver with power. A second redundant power supply may
be added as an optional module.
For the OC-3 configuration, a user rate clock is recovered from clock recovery NCO and
provided to the OC-3/STM-1 I/O card. The Modem Processor and its associated RAM,
ROM, and peripherals control Modem/IF operation. It also provides configuration and
control for both the IF and I/O cards. EVENT 5800 interfaces with the internal Radio
Transceiver to receive and provide modulated transmit and receive waveforms.
The 256-QAM Modem performs the modulation and demodulation of the
payload/wayside/SNMP data and forward error correction using advanced modulation and
2. System Description 2-12

coding techniques. Using all-digital processing, the 256-QAM Modem uses robust
modulation and forward error correction coding to minimize the number of bit errors and
optimize the radio and network performances. The 256-QAM Modem also scrambles,
descrambles and interleaves/deinterleaves the data stream in accordance with Intelsat
standards to ensure modulation efficiency and resilience to sustained burst errors. The
modulation will vary by application, data rate, and frequency spectrum. The highest
order modulation mode supported is 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM).
The EVENT 5800 digital radio also provides the physical interface for the user payload
and network management. In transmit mode, the Framer merges user payload (ASI, OC-
3 or Fast Ethernet) with radio overhead-encapsulated network management data. This
combined data stream is transmitted without any loss of user bandwidth. In the receive
mode, the Framer separates the combined data stream received from the 256-QAM
Modem. The EVENT 5800 supports Scalable Ethernet data rates, such as 25 or 50 Mbps
via the 100BaseT data interface port. EVENT 5800 provides network management data
on 10 Mbps ports accessible via the 10/100BaseTX port. The Central Processor Unit
(CPU) provides the embedded control and network element functionality of the OAM&P.
The CPU also communicates with other functions within EVENT 5800 for configuration,
control, and status monitoring.
The power supply converts -48V DC to the DC voltage levels required by each component
in the system.
2.5 Consecutive Point Architecture
The consecutive point network architecture is based on the proven SONET/SDH ring.
Telecommunications service providers traditionally use the SONET/SDH ring architecture
to implement their access networks. A typical SONET/SDH network consists of the
service provider’s Point of Presence (POP) site and several customer sites with fiber optic
cables connecting these sites in a ring configuration. This architecture lets providers
deliver high bandwidth with high availability to their customers.
2. System Description 2-13
© 2012 Moseley, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 602-16620-01, Rev. A
Figure 2-10. Ring Configuration
SONET/SDH rings are inherently self-healing. Each ring has an active path and a standby
path. Network traffic normally uses the active path. If one section of the ring fails, the
network will switch to the standby path. Switchover occurs in seconds. There may be a
brief delay in service, but no loss of payload, thus maintaining high levels of network
availability.
The consecutive point architecture implemented in the Moseley Digital Radio family is
based on a point-to-point-to-point topology that mimics fiber rings, with broadband
wireless links replacing in-ground fiber cable. A typical consecutive point network consists
of a POP and several customer sites connected using a EVENT 5800. These units are
typically in a building in an east/west configuration. Using east/west configurations, each
unit installed at a customer site is logically connected to two other units via an over-the-
air radio frequency (RF) link to a unit at an adjacent site.
Each consecutive point network typically starts and ends at a POP. A pattern of wireless
links and in-building connections is repeated at each site until all buildings in the network
are connected in a ring as shown in the following illustration for an Ethernet network. For
2 x 1+0 and 2 x 1+1 nodes, payload and NMS connections need to be jumpered between
two EVENT 5800 units. For 1 x 2+0 nodes, there is no need for jumpers as there is a
single EVENT 5800. For SDH or SONET payloads, the configuration is similar but an
external add/drop mux is required.

Figure 2-11. Consecutive Point Network
2.6 Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) keeps Ethernet loops from forming in a ring architecture.
Without STP, loops would flood a network with packets. STP prevents loops by creating
an artificial network break. In the event of a network outage, STP automatically removes
the artificial break, restoring connectivity.
2.7 1+1 Protection
EVENT 5800 supports 1+1 protection as an option for a critical link. In this configuration,
EVENT 5800 contains two power supplies and two modems. The power supply, radio
transceiver, IF/telemetry and modem are protected. The digital framing and LIUs are not.
One modem is referred to as the west modem and the other as the east modem. 1+1
protection can be run in two modes: Protected Non-Diversity and Protected Diversity.
2.7.1 Protected Non-Diversity (Hot Standby)
The following illustration shows operation in Protected Non-Diversity mode, also called
Hot Standby. In this mode, one EVENT 5800 at each location transmits to two EVENT
5800 units at the other location. This mode does not require the extra bandwidth or
interference protection. It provides hitless receive switching and hot standby. EVENT
5800 automatically switches between the two units when an appropriate alarm or
interface error occurs, minimizing transmit outage time.

2.7.2 Protected Diversity
This arrangement requires bandwidth for both links and non-interference between the
links, but it provides hitless receive and transmit switching. EVENT 5800 supports both
frequency and spatial diversity.
Figure 2-13. 1+1 Diversity Mode Protection
2.7.2.1 Frequency Diversity
In frequency diversity, two frequencies are used to achieve non-interference. The
proprietary framer chooses the best, or error-free, data stream and forwards it to the
Line Interface Units (LIUs).
2.7.2.2 Spatial Diversity
In spatial diversity, two non-interfering paths are used. The proprietary framer chooses
the best, or error-free, data stream and forwards it to the Line Interface Units (LIUs).
Single Transmitter: Protected Non-Diversity, or Hot Standby, is also referred to as
Single Transmitter Spatial Diversity.
Dual Transmitter: When using Dual Transmitter Spatial Diversity, two active
transmitters are physically isolated to avoid crosstalk.

2.9 Data Interfaces
The primary interface for video and broadcast applications is the DVB-ASI interface
located in the mini-I/O card slot. Alternatively this interface can be replaced with STM-1
Optical/OC-3 or STM-1 Electrical interfaces. The optical interface is single mode at 1300
nm. Consult factory for availability of Mini-I/O STM-1/OC-3 Module.
The I/O card has 2x100BaseTX interfaces that can be configured as either primary
payload, or secondary wayside channels. The Over-the-air channel has a data-bandwidth
capacity that is set by the frequency-bandwidth, modulation, and coding. The data-
bandwidth may be allocated to various I/O card interfaces, including 155.52 Mbps for
DVB-ASI or STM-1, 2 Mbps per E1, up to 100 Mbps Ethernet, and up to 1 Mbps NMS.
Only up to 100 Mbps of data-bandwidth may be allocated for either net data, and the two
I/O card 100BaseTX interfaces will share that 100 Mbps data-bandwidth.
2.10 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
Scalable Ethernet data rates up to 100 Mbps can be achieved with the Standard,
Enhanced and Super PDH (i.e., 42xE1/T1) Master I/O cards. Higher data rates can be
achieved using the 155FE (Fast Ethernet) capability.
2.10.1 155Mbps Fast Ethernet
Ethernet payload rates over 100 Mbps (such as 155 Mbps) can be achieved on a Fast
Ethernet EVENT 5800 by using both 100Base-TX payload ports. In this configuration, two
Ethernet channels are provisioned in the payload frame. The maximum traffic rate for
each Ethernet channel to the framer is defined in the modes file. This mode is not
supported for 2+0 configuration.
2.10.2 Two Network Operation
This mode can be used to provide access to two separate Fast Ethernet users, and
guarantee the throughput level for each. Different rates for each port are supported, as
configured in the modes file. In this mode, each channel operates as a single channel
would in a single port mode.
Figure 2-17. Two Network Operation
2.10.3 Single Network Operation
This configuration is an extension of the Two Network mode described above. There are
no changes in the programming or operation of EVENT 5800. This mode allows a user to
transmit data from a single network at a rate greater than 100 Mbps. The external router
is required to handle the management of the trunk. The router must ensure that the
same MAC address is not delivered to both ports.
Figure 2-18. Single Network Operation
2.11 Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps)
Scalable Ethernet data rates up to 300 Mbps can be achieved with a Gigabit Ethernet
scalable EVENT 5800. Data rates up to 155 Mbps are available with the Standard
Modem/IF module. Data rates up to 300 Mbps are available with the Wideband Modem
I/F module. EVENT 5800 can be configured to aggregate Ethernet bandwidth across two

or four links when operating as 2+0 or 4+0, allowing for a total throughput of up to 600
Mbps or 1000 Mbps, respectively.

2.11.1 GigE Port Based VLAN
The Gigabit Ethernet Port Based VLAN configures the EVENT 5800 to provide two
independent Gigabit Ethernet networks with aggregate data rate up to 300Mbps. In this
mode the Gigabit Master I/O module ports 1 and 2 are allocated to Network #1 and ports
3 and 4 are allocated to Network #2. The SFP port can be assigned to either network.
Each network will be allocated a guaranteed bandwidth which is configured as part of the
modes file. This capability is only available when operating as 1+0 or 1+1 and is not
available when operating as 2+0.

2.12 Ethernet Quality of Service (QoS)
EVENT 5800 provides for Ethernet Quality of Server (QoS) configuration. Incoming
packets are assigned to a weighted priority queue based on one or more of the following
criteria:
Incoming Port: Packets are assigned to a priority queue based on the port the
packet arrived on.
802.1Q VLAN Tag Priority: Packets are assigned to a priority queue based on the
priority tag field in the VLAN TAG.
IPv4 TOS: Packets are assigned to a priority queue based on the TOS field in the
IPv4 header (not available with GigE Master I/O or Enhanced Master I/O)
DiffServ: Packets are assigned to a priority queue based on the value of the DS field
of the IPv4 header (not available with GigE Master I/O or Enhanced Master I/O)

2.13 Gigabit Ethernet Link Aggregation
Configuration
2.13.1 2+0 East/East Configuration
EVENT 5800 is capable of aggregating link bandwidth in 2+0 mode to achieve up to 600
Mbps Ethernet throughput when used with the Wideband Modem/IF modules in 56MHz
with 128-QAM capable Radio Transceivers. The 2+0 East/East configuration allows for the
doubling of the throughputs.
When configured for 2+0 East/East, EVENT 5800 balances the traffic between the two
links based on the source and destination MAC addresses of the Ethernet packets.
Sufficient diversity of MAC addresses is required to achieve full usage of the 2+0
East/East configuration.
In the event of a link failure, throughput will only be reduced by one-half, and traffic on
the failed link will be automatically re-routed to the remaining link.
2.13.2 4+0 East/East Configuration
In addition to aggregating two links, EVENT 5800 is capable of pairing with another
EVENT 5800 to aggregate a total of four links to achieve a maximum throughput of 1000
Mbps when used with Wideband Modem/IF modules in 50MHz with 128-QAM capable
Radio Transceivers.
As with 2+0 East/East, EVENT 5800 balances the traffic between the four links based on
the source and destination MAC addresses of the Ethernet packets. Sufficient diversity of
MAC addresses is required to achieve full usage of the 4+0 East/East configuration.
In the event of a link failure, throughput will only be reduced by one-quarter, and traffic
on the failed link will be automatically re-routed to the remaining links

2.14 Crosspoint Switch
The EVENT 5800 crosspoint switch provides any-to-any E1/T1 routing between back
panel ports and RF links. Flexible channel mapping allows selection from predefined
routings or custom routing. Custom routings are uploaded to EVENT 5800 via FTP.

example, the crosspoint switch connects E1/T1s from the modems to the back-panel
ports.

2.15 STM-1 Specifications
EVENT 5800 meets G.703, G.957 (S-1.1), G.825 standards for the STM-1/OC-3 signals
passed across the RF link. Performance monitoring is not provided as the EVENT 5800
does not act as a regenerator. The EVENT 5800 does not support add/drop MUX (ADM)
capability. The EVENT 5800 does support terminal MUX capability.
2.16 STM-1 Mux/Demux (Optional)
EVENT 5800 provides the ability to demultiplex 63xE1 or 63xT1 PDH signals from the
SDH signal. The demultiplexed E1/T1s are routed via the crosspoint switch to the east
modem, west modem, or . EVENT 5800 can act as an STM-1 Terminal Mux/Demux. In
this case the STM1 transmit timing is slaved to the STM-1 receive timing at the STM-1
port. The STM-1 Mux/Demux feature requires an Enhanced Standard I/O Module.
Figure 2-24. STM-1 Mux/Demux
2.17 Power Management
RF power management is a radio design feature that controls the power level (typically
expressed in dBm) of the RF signal received from a transmitter by a receiver. The
traditional goal of power management is to ensure that the RF signal at a receiver is
strong enough to maintain the radio link under changing weather and link conditions.
The Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is not a constant envelope waveform.
Therefore, the average power and peak power are different. The difference in peak and
average power depends on the constellation type and shaping factor, where spectral
efficiency such as more constellation points or lower shaping factor leading to peak
powers higher than average powers. The peak power is typically 5-7 dB greater than the
average power and never exceeds 7 dB. Regulatory requirements are sometimes based
on peak EIRP which is based on peak power and antenna gain.
Traditional power management techniques such as Constant Transmit Power Control
(CTPC) and Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) transmit at a high power level to
2. System Description 2-22

overcome the effects of fading and interference. However, these techniques continue to
operate at a higher power level than needed to maintain the link in clear weather.
Because transmit power remains high when the weather clears, the level of system
interference increases.
Radios operating at high transmit power will interfere with other radios, even if the
interfering source is miles away from the victim. High interference levels can degrade
signal quality to the point that wireless radio links become unreliable and network
availability suffers. The traditional solution to system interference is to increase the
distance between radios. However, the resulting sparse deployment model is
inappropriate for metropolitan areas.
In response to the need for a high-density deployment model, EVENT 5800 uses a unique
power control technique called AdTPC. AdTPC enables EVENT 5800 to transmit at the
minimum power level necessary to maintain a link regardless of the prevailing weather
and interference conditions. EVENT 5800 is designed and manufactured to not exceed the
maximum power allowed. The purpose of power management is to minimize transmit
power level when lower power levels are sufficient. AdTPC also extends the concept of
power management by controlling not only the power (dBm) of the RF signal, but its
quality (signal-to-noise ratio) as well.
In contrast to ATPC, the AdTPC technique dynamically adjusts the output power based on
both the actual strength and quality of the signal. Networked radios constantly monitor
receive power and maintain 10-12 BER performance under varying interference and
climate conditions. Each EVENT 5800 unit can detect when there is a degradation in the
received signal level of quality and adjust the transmit power level of the far-end EVENT
5800 unit to correct for it.
AdTPC provides maximum power in periods of heavy interference and fading and
minimum power when conditions are clear. Minimal transmit power reduces potential for
co-channel and adjacent channel interference with other RF devices in the service area,
thereby ensuring maximum frequency re-use. The resulting benefit is that operators are
able to deploy more EVENT 5800 units in a smaller area.
2.18 Network Management
EVENT 5800 parameters can be accessed using:
a standard web-browser via HTTP to access the built in web server.
an SNMP Agent using the fully featured MIB, allowing for automation of data
collection and network management.
a command line client accessible from a terminal client connected to the serial port,
or telnet over the NMS Ethernet.
the
These user interfaces are described in the EVENT 5800 User Interface Guide (Moseley
Document #602-15173-01).
2.18.1 IP Address
Each EVENT 5800 radio is configured independently for network parameters such as IP
address, subnet, and gateway. However, the radio can also be configured as a DHCP
client. In this configuration, a DHCP server assigns an IP address to the radio. A specific
IP address may be associated with a particular radio by configuring the DHCP server to
assign IP addresses based on the Ethernet MAC address.
2. System Description 2-23

2.18.2 Network
EVENT 5800 uses an Out-of-Band NMS network that is separate from the payload
Ethernet network. Each EVENT 5800 contains a managed Layer 2 Ethernet switch that
supports Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) for managing NMS traffic. This allows EVENT 5800
to be configured in a protected ring configuration where the STP will prevent an Ethernet
loop in the ring. This will also allow the ring to re-configure in the event of an outage.
EVENT 5800 acts as a network bridge via the Ethernet switch and STP. EVENT 5800 does
not currently support NMS routing capability.
2.18.3 NMS Network Operational Principles
EVENT 5800 does not provide routing capability. Therefore, all radios must be on the
same subnet as the PC being used to access the radios. If EVENT 5800 radios and/or the
PC are on different subnets, a router must be used with the gateway addresses set
appropriately. The following illustration shows the PC and both EVENT 5800 units in the
same subnet. In this case, no router is required.

2.18.4 Third Party NMS Support
EVENT 5800 supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 protocols for use with third party
network management software. The SNMP agent will send SNMP traps to specified IP
addresses when an alarm is set or cleared. Information contained in the trap includes:
IP address
System uptime
System time
Alarm name
Alarm set/clear detail
EVENT 5800 can also be managed via HTTP, TELNET, and SSH protocols.
2.19 System Loopbacks
EVENT 5800 supports system loopbacks that can be used to test and verify a unit, link,
and/or network. A variety of loopback points, including LIU selection, are available.
Loopback points and duration can be selected through the Web Interface or .

3. Pre-Installation Procedures
3.1 Site Evaluation
A site evaluation consists of a series of procedures for gathering specific information
about potential installation locations. This information is critical to the successful design
and deployment of a network. Site evaluations are required to confirm whether or not a
building meets network design requirements. The main objectives are as follows:
Confirm
o Line of sight for each link
o Site equipment locations
o Cable routes
o Any other potential RF sources
Prepare site drawings and record site information
Required Tools: The following tools are required to perform a site evaluation:
RF and network design diagrams (as required)
Binoculars
Global positioning system (GPS) or range finder
Compass
Measuring tape and/or wheel
Digital camera
Area map
Aerial photograph (if available)
List of potential installation sites (targeted buildings)
Pre-Site Evaluation Tasks: The following tasks must be completed prior to performing
a site evaluation:
Prepare the initial network design by performing the following:
o Identify potential buildings by identifying targeted customers (applicable if you’re
a service provider)
o Identify potential links by selecting buildings based on the high probability of line
of sight
Arrange for access with the facility personnel into the buildings, equipment rooms,
and architectural plans to become familiar with the location of all ducts, risers, etc.
Site Evaluation Steps: The following steps must be completed to perform a successful
site evaluation:
1) Ensure RF Safety compliance: Ensure that appropriate warning signs are properly
placed and posted at the equipment site or access entry. For a complete list of
warnings, refer the Safety Precautions listed at the beginning of this manual.
2) Ensure Compliance with Laws, Regulations, Codes, and Agreements: Ensure that any
installation performed as a result of the site evaluation is in full compliance with
applicable federal and local laws, regulations, electrical codes, building codes, and
fire codes.
3) Establish Line of Sight between antennas: The most critical step in conducting a site
evaluation is confirming clear radio Line of Sight (LOS) between a near antenna and
a far antenna. If LOS does not exist, another location must be used.
3. Pre-Installation Procedures 3-2
© 2012 Moseley, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 602-16620-01, Rev. A
Antennas must have a clear view of each other, or “line of sight”. Binoculars may be
used evaluate the path from the desired location of the near antenna to the desired
location of the far antenna. To confirm Line of Sight:
o Ensure that no obstructions are close to the transmitting/receiving path. Take into
consideration trees, bridges, construction of new buildings, unexpected aerial
traffic, window washing units, etc.
o Ensure that each antenna can be mounted in the position required to correctly
align the antenna with its link partner.
The antennas must also have a clear radio line of sight. If a hard object, such as a
mountain ridge or building, is too close to the signal path, it can damage the radio
signal or reduce its strength. This happens even though the obstacle does not
obscure the direct, visual line of sight. The Fresnel zone for a radio beam is an
elliptical area immediately surrounding the visual path. It varies in thickness
depending on the length of the signal path and the frequency of the signal. The
necessary clearance for the Fresnel zone can be calculated, and it must be taken into
account when designing a wireless links.
As shown in the picture above, when a hard object protrudes into the signal path
within the Fresnel zone, knife-edge diffraction can deflect part of the signal and cause
it to reach the receiving antenna slightly later than the direct signal. Since these
deflected signals are out of phase with the direct signal, they can reduce its power or
cancel it out altogether. If trees or other 'soft' objects protrude into the Fresnel zone,
they can attenuate (reduced the strength of) a passing signal. In short, the fact that
you can see a location does not mean that you can establish a quality radio link to
that location. Consult factory for a link planner spreadsheet that calculates the
Fresnel ratio and helps determine link feasibility.
4) Determine Antenna Mounting Locations: Antennas can be mounted on an antenna
mast, brick, masonry or wall.
5) Determine EVENT 5800 Installation Locations: A EVENT 5800 can be installed on a
tabletop or cabinet or rack mount. The site must provide DC power.
6) Document Potential Sources of Co-location Interference: When antennas are located
on a roof or pole with other transmitters and receivers, an interference analysis may
be required to determine and resolve potential interference issues. The interference
analysis needs to be performed by an RF engineer. The specific information required
for each transmitter and receiver includes the following:
o Transmitting and/or receiving frequency
o Type of antenna
o Distance from EVENT 5800 (horizontal and vertical)
o Polarity (horizontal or vertical), if applicable
o Transmit power level
3. Pre-Installation Procedures 3-3
© 2012 Moseley, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 602-16620-01, Rev. A
o Antenna direction
7) Measure the Link Distance: The two ways to measure link distance are as follows:
o GPS: record the latitude and longitude for the near and far installation sites and
calculate the link distance. Record the mapping datum used by the GPS unit and
ensure the same mapping datum is used for all site evaluations in a given
network.
o Range finder: measure the link distance (imperial or metric units may be used).
Once the link distance has been measured, verify that the link distance meets the
availability requirements of the link.
8) Select the Grounding Location: The EVENT 5800 must be properly grounded in order
to protect it and the structure it is installed on from lightning damage.
9) Determine the Length of Interconnect Cable from IDU to the ODU. For a stand-alone
EVENT 5800, this cable is included and is normally 8” long. For a EVENT 5800 with a
secondary RF ODU unit the following applies. The primary consideration for the
IDU/ODU interconnect cable is the distance and route between the primary EVENT
5800 and the secondary RF ODU unit. This cable should not exceed 330 feet using
Times Microwave LMR-200 cable. Guidelines are provided in Table 3-1.

*Does not account for connector loss.
10) Determine the optimum transmission line between the EVENT 5800 and the Antenna.
This is normally part of the link analysis calculations.
11) Confirm the availability of Power for the EVENT 5800.
12) Ensure Building Aesthetics: For building-mounted units, ensure that the Antenna can
be mounted so that it is aesthetically pleasing to the environment and to the
property owner. Aesthetics must be approved by the property owner and the
network engineer.
13) Take Site Photographs
14) Sketch the Site
3.2 Critical System Calculations
3.2.1 Received Signal Level (RSL) and Link Budget
The received signal level (RSL) can be estimated using the following formula:
3. Pre-Installation Procedures 3-4
© 2012 Moseley, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 602-16620-01, Rev. A
Where:
PTX is the transmitter output power (in dBm)
GTX ANT is the gain of the transmit antenna (in dB)
GRX ANT is the gain of the receive antenna (in dB)
LPath is the Path loss, defined by: LP (dB) = 36.6 + 20log10 (F*D)
Where:
F is the Frequency in MHz, D is the Distance of path in miles
This link budget is very important in determining any potential problems during
installation. The expected RSL and measured RSL should be close (+/- 5 to 10 dB)
3.2.2 Fade Margin Calculation
The fade margin is the difference between the actual received signal and the digital
radio’s threshold for the modulation mode selected. The fade margin can be used to
determine availability and should be at least 10 dB for most cases but is ultimately
determined by required application reliability.
3.2.3 Availability Calculation
Availability of the microwave path is a prediction of the percent of time that the link will
operate without producing an excessive BER due to multipath fading. Availability is
affected by the following:
Path length
Fade margin
Frequency
Terrain (smooth, average, mountainous, valleys)
Climate (dry, temperate, hot, humid)
Depending on the type of traffic carried over the link and the overall network design
redundancy, fade margin should be included to support the desired availability rate.
Critical data and voice may require a very high availability rate (99.999% or 5.3 minutes
of predicted outage per year). To improve availability, the fade margin can be increased
by shortening the path length, transmitting at a higher power level, or by using higher
gain antennas. Availability can be computed using the following formula, which is known
as the Vigants-Barnett Method.
Where:
F is the frequency in MHz
D is the distance in miles
FM is the fade margin in dB
C is the climate/terrain factor: C=4 for Humid/Over Water (worst case channel), C=1 for
Average Conditions, or C=0.25 for Dry/Mountains (best case channel)
Example: Assume 21 dB fade margin, over 5 miles with average climate/terrain. The
availability comes out to be 99.9986. This corresponds to the link being unavailable for
7.6 minutes per year.

3.3 Frequency Plan Determination
When configuring EVENT 5800 units in a point-to-point or consecutive point
configuration, careful engineering of the frequency plans and antenna locations should be
performed in order to minimize potential interference between nearby radios. Nearby
radios should operate on different frequencies, transmitting in the same band (high side
or low side). Local frequency coordination efforts are a requirement for broadcast
auxiliary service applications. When designing multi-radio configurations, antenna size,
antenna polarization, and antenna location are critical.
The frequency plan is selected based on the band being used. Data rate and capacity is
selected based on expected link conditions or fixed based on application. In a high
interference environment or with lower gain antennas, higher bandwidth, more robust
modulation formats must be employed. The available frequency plans are shown in the
following illustrations based on application frequency.
The channel assignments shown in the figures correspond to the channel numbers
assigned via the Web Interface or SNMP.

3.4 Facility Requirements
The site selected to house the DTV LINK should follow conventional microwave practice
and should be located as close to the antenna as possible. This will reduce the RF
transmission line losses, minimize possible bending and kinking of the line, and allow for
the full range potential of the radio link.
The building or room chosen for installation should be free from excessive dust and
moisture. The area should not exceed the recommended temperature range, allow for
ample air flow, and provide room for service access to cables and wiring.
3.5 Antenna Planning
Larger antennas have the advantage of providing narrower beam widths and high
isotropic gain, which yields better link performance (higher fade margin, better
availability), and improves immunity to spatial interference (due to the smaller beam
widths). However, larger antennas are more costly to purchase and install than smaller
antennas and in some cases, they require special equipment for installation due to
narrower beam widths. They are also more easily affected by wind.
Select where the cable will enter the building from the outside.
Determine the length of cable required. Allow three extra feet on each end to allow
for strain relief, as well as any bends and turns.
3.6 Transmit Power Setup
Setting the transmit power is conditional on the band and application. The
installer of this equipment is responsible for proper selection of allowable
power settings. If there are any questions on power settings refer to your
professional installer in order to maintain the FCC legal ERP limits.
This warning is particularly true for the 5.3 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands and special
instructions are provided below for these bands. For the broadcast auxiliary service (BAS)
applications the power should not exceed that necessary to render for satisfactory
service.
It is also noted that as QAM mode order increases the linearity requirements also
increase. As a rule to maintain requisite signal quality the transmit power should be
lowered 1 dB for every order increase in QAM mode order. For instance, the maximum
power for the EVENT 5800 is 27 dBm in QPSK mode. Therefore the maximum power
backoff would follow Table 3-2 below:

3.6.1 5.8 GHz Band
For fixed point-to-point applications in the United States the maximum EIRP (Effective
Isotropic Radiated Power) is unlimited when using directional antennas in accordance
with FCC part 15.247b(3). The EVENT 5800 5800 can be operated at its maximum output
power, +23 dBm, for maximum system gain. For external antennas, EIRP is calculated as
follows:
EIRP(avg) dBm = External Antenna Gain (dBi) + 23 dBm
For internal antenna (23 dBi) EIRP is calculated as follows:
EIRP(avg) = 46 dBm
3.6.2 5.3 GHz Band
In the 5.3 GHz U-NII band the peak EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) is limited
to +30 dBm at the antenna for bandwidths above 20 MHz and is reduced for narrower
bandwidths in accordance with FCC part 15.407a(3).
The installer is responsible during set up of transmit power to not exceed FCC limits on
transmission power. These maximum power levels are provided in Table 3-3 for both
internal antenna and external antenna configurations.
Note that though regulatory limits are stated in terms of peak power, the system
transmit power levels are calibrated as averaged power readings. Average power is used
for link calculations. Therefore the levels provided in the following table is average power
levels that have been certified to correspond with the maximum peak EIRP allowed.
3.6.2.1 Internal Antenna
Table 3-3 indicates the maximum average transmit power setting that may be selected
EVENT 5800 5300 with internal (23 dBi) antenna.
The number of supported channels per band (low band or high band) is shown in the link
configuration wizard. The greater number of channels supported the lower the emission
bandwidth for each channel.
For link budget,
EIRP(Avg) = 23 dBi + Tx Power Setting (dBm).
3.6.2.2 External Antenna
When using external antennas with gains greater than 23 dBi, the transmit power must
be reduced in dB from that given in Table 3-3 by the antenna gain difference above 23
dBi for the mode that is being used.
For example, using a 6 foot dish antenna with 37 dBi gain, the output power would be
dropped by:
Antenna Gain (External) – 23 dBi = Antenna Gain Difference
Example:
37.6 dBi – 23 dBi = 14.6 dB
For mode 100FE1 (single channel configuration with 30MHz emission bandwidth) the
power would be lowered from:
Tx Power (Internal Antenna) – Antenna Gain Difference = Tx Power (External
Ant)
Example:
3. Pre-Installation Procedures 3-8
© 2012 Moseley, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 602-16620-01, Rev. A
+5 dBm – 14.6 dB = -9.6 dBm (-10 dBm).
Table 3-3 also shows transmit power settings for various antenna dish sizes.
For link budget,
EIRP(Avg) dBm = 37 dBi + Tx Power Setting (dBm)

*NOTE: Many antenna manufacturers rate antenna gain in dBd (dB referred to a dipole
antenna) in their literature. To convert to dBi, add 2.15 dB.
Power settings for other modes of operation can be calculated as follows:
EIRP(Avg) dBm = Antenna Gain (dBi) + Tx Power
Transmitter radiated power is limited in the receiver benefits from gain of larger
antennas.

4.7 Ground Connections
1) The EVENT 5800 should be connected to a system or building electrical ground point
(rack ground or power third-wire ground) with a cable of 36” or less.
2) Connect the grounding wire to either grounding point (Controller I/O or Master I/O)
on the back panel. Use 6-32x5/16 maximum length screws (not provided) to fasten
the lug of the grounding cable.
3) Connect the other end of the ground to the local source of ground in an appropriate
manner consistent with local electrical regulations.
4.8 Antenna/Feed System
4.8.1 Antenna Mounting
The antennas used as part of the EVENT 5800 system are directional. The energy
radiated is focused into a narrow beam by the transmitting antenna and must be aligned
towards the receiving antenna. The type of antenna used in a particular installation will
depend on frequency band and antenna gain requirements. These parameters are
determined by the path analysis.
4. Installation 4-6
© 2012 Moseley, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 602-16620-01, Rev. A
The antenna is usually mounted on a pipe mount or tower, on top of a building, on a
tower adjacent to building where the DTV LINK is installed, or on some structure that will
provide the proper elevation. If the tower or antenna mounting mast is to be mounted
on a building, an engineer should be consulted to ensure structural integrity. The
antenna support structure must be able to withstand high winds, ice, and rain without
deflecting more than one tenth of a degree. The optimum elevation is determined by the
path analysis.
Mount the antenna onto its mounting structure but do not completely tighten the
mounting bolts at this time. The antenna will need to be rotated during the path aligning
process.
Information on how to perform a site survey and path analysis can be found in the
Appendix, Path Evaluation Information.
4.8.2 Transmission Line
Run the transmission line in such a manner as to protect it from damage. Note that
Heliax™ transmission line requires special handling to keep it in good condition. It
should be unreeled and laid out before running it between locations. It cannot be pulled
off the reel the same way as electrical wire. Protect the line where it must run around
sharp edges to avoid damage. A kinked line indicates damage, so the damaged piece
must be removed and a splice installed to couple the pieces together. At frequencies
above about 2 GHz, waveguide is the preferred transmission line due to its lower-loss
characteristics.
4.8.3 Environmental Seals
The connections at the antenna and the transmission line must be weather-sealed. This
is best accomplished by completely wrapping each connection with Scotch #70 tape (or
equivalent), pulling the tape tight as you wrap to create a sealed boot. Then, for
mechanical protection over the sealed layer, completely wrap the connection again with
Scotch #88 (or equivalent). Tape ends must be cut rather than torn—a torn end will
unravel and work loose in the wind. Use plenty of tape for protection against water
penetration and the premature replacement of the transmission line. Waveguide uses
pressure seals and is usually pressurized to resist water intrusion.
4.8.4 Antenna & Transmission Line Testing
It is important to test the antenna and transmission line before attaching it to the EVENT
5800 to ensure that the maximum amount of power is being transferred to or from the
antenna.
4.9 Connect the Power Source
1) Use the supplied power cable connector. Pin 2 (labeled -V) should be connected to
the power supply terminal that supplies –48V DC. Pin 1 (labeled RET) should be
connected to the power supply return. Use of a power supply with an inappropriate
ground reference may cause damage to the EVENT 5800 and/or the supply.
4. Installation 4-7

Figure 4-5. DC Power Cable Connector
2) Connect the EVENT 5800 power cable to the –48V DC power supply, and place the
voltmeter probes on the unconnected EVENT 5800 end of the power cable, with the
positive voltmeter probe on pin 2 (-V) of the cable connector and the negative probe
on pin 1 (RET). The connector terminal screw heads may be used as convenient
monitor points.
3) Turn on the –48V DC supply. Verify that the digital voltmeter reads between –44V DC
and –52V DC when monitoring the cable points specified above. Adjust the power
supply output voltage and/or change the connections at the power supply to achieve
this reading.
4) Turn the –48V DC supply off.
5) Plug the power cable into the back panel DC Power connector (DC Input). Place the
voltmeter probes on the cable connector terminal screw heads as per step 2 above.
Note that the EVENT 5800 does not have a power on/off switch. When DC power is
connected, the digital radio powers up and is operational. There can be up to 5W of
RF power present at the antenna port. The antenna should be directed safely when
power is applied. The external power supply provided usually has a power on/off
switch.
6) Turn on the –48V DC power supply, and verify that the reading on the digital
voltmeter is as specified in step 3 above.
4.10 Link Alignment
The Receive Signal Level (RSL) connector is a tool to aid antenna alignment.
4.10.1 EVENT 5800 RSL Output
To use the built-in tuning of the EVENT 5800, a complete link is required, with both ends
of the link roughly pointed at each other, and transmitting.
Connect a voltmeter to the RSL (Receive Signal Level) BNC connector on the EVENT 5800
back panel. This mode outputs 0 to +2.5 Volts. Adjust the antenna for maximum voltage.
The RSSI voltage is linearly calibrated from 2.5 Volts for maximum RSL (received signal
level) at –20 dBm to 0 Volts for minimum RSL at -90 dBm. This mapping characteristic is
plotted as shown in the following illustration.

6. On-Site Service
At times, it may be necessary to service the EVENT 5800. This may include installing,
removing, or replacing a EVENT 5800 module. There may be up to 8 modules installed in
a single EVENT 5800 chassis. The following illustration shows the back panel of the
EVENT 5800 with each module labeled. The basic procedure for removing and installing a
module is common to all the modules, with slight variations for the Power Supply Module,
Controller Module, and Mini I/O Module.
Figure 6-1. EVENT 5800 Modules
6.1 Removing a Module
1) Modules are static sensitive and should only be handled in an ESD-safe environment.
When packaging modules for shipment or storage, place in an ESD bag.
2) Remove back panel connections to the module.
3) Remove the two thumbscrews on either side of the module and install them in the
adjacent threaded empty screw holes. The following illustration shows the locations of
these thumb screws.
a) The thumbscrew for the Standard I/O Module is located on the right side of the
Mini I/O Module slot.
b) If a Mini I/O module is installed and the Standard I/O Module is to be removed,
both modules will be removed as one unit.
c) When removing only the Mini I/O card, remove the corner screw indicated in the
following illustration and one thumb screw.
Figure 6-2. Thumbscrew and Corner Screw Locations
4) Remove the module by grasping the thumbscrew(s) and pulling the module straight
out of the chassis. Both thumbscrews should be used for all modules except the
Power Supply and the Mini I/O Modules.
5) The Power Supply and Mini I/O Modules have only one threaded hole each.
a) When removing the Standard I/O Module, the ground lug shown in the following
illustration is used as the second threaded hole. If the EVENT 5800 is to remain
powered on and the ground lug is being used to ground the unit, first move the
ground connection to the ground lug located on the Controller Module.
The EVENT 5800 retains its current configuration when a module is removed, unless that
module is the Controller Module. In which case, the IP addresses will need to be
reprogrammed.

Figure 6-3. Threaded Hole Locations
6.2 Installing a Module
1) Modules are static sensitive and should only be handled in an ESD-safe environment.
When packaging modules for shipment or storage, place in an ESD bag.
2) Line up the module board with the guides in the chassis and slide the module into the
EVENT 5800. The following illustration shows a photo of the guides. As the module
face plate comes flush with the face of the EVENT 5800, connectors on the rear of the
module will engage with the EVENT 5800 backplane. It is possible to encounter
interference from adjacent module rear panels. If this occurs, loosen the
thumbscrews holding the neighboring panels and shift them as necessary to ensure
fit.
a) The Mini I/O Module only has one guide on the right side. Take care to insert the
Mini I/O module carefully and correctly engage the rear connector with its mate
on the Standard I/O Module.

3) Install thumbscrews on either side of the module as shown in Figure 6-2. The Mini I/O
card has a corner screw, which should be installed. This corner screw is shown in
Figure 6-2.
4) Make rear panel connections to the module and power on the EVENT 5800 if
necessary.
5) Verify proper operation of the unit. If the Controller Module has been changed,
reprogram the IP addresses.

bytes
VLAN Support: VLAN tagged packets are passed through without modification. Port
based VLANs are supported, but not user-configurable as they are used to implement
155FE and Port-based VLAN modes. EVENT 5800 uses VLAN TAG Priority (802.1Q-203
Section 9 Tagged Frame Format) for QoS.
Operation Full duplex / Half Duplex / Auto sensing: Auto Sensing and manual
configuration
Support for routing: Support for IP based routing is not provided at this time
Quality of Service (QoS): QoS is implemented using weighted priority queues.
Incoming packets are assigned to a priority queue based on one or more of the following
criteria:
Incoming Port: port based priority allows assignment to a priority queue based on the
port the packet arrived on
802.1Q VLAN Tag Priority: packets are assigned to a priority queue based on the
priority tag field in the VLAG TAG
IPv4 TOS (Standard Master I/O & Enhanced Master I/O only): packets are assigned to
a priority queue based on the TOS field in the IPv4 header
DiffServ (42xE1/T1 Master I/O only): packets are assigned to a priority queue based
on the value of the DS field of the IPv4 header (the DS field is the redefined IPv4 TOS
field)

NOTE: The weighted ratios are fixed for 802.1Q VLAN TAG priority and for IPv4 TOS
priority even though they are selectable via the Web Interface. The Low priority queue
flows may be starved under some traffic conditions (Standard Master I/O & Enhanced
Master I/O only).
Flow Control: Flow control is supported in both full-duplex and half-duplex. Full-Duplex
is implemented with respect for PAUSE packets as well as generation of PAUSE packets.

Appendix D. Customer Service
Moseley Associates will assist its product users with difficulties. Most problems can be
resolved through telephone consultation with our technical service department. When
necessary, factory service may be provided. If you are not certain whether factory
service of your equipment is covered, please check your product Warranty/Service
Agreement.
Do not return any equipment to Moseley without prior consultation.
The solutions to many technical problems can be found in our product manuals;
please read them and become familiar with your equipment.
We invite you to visit our Internet web site at http://www.moseleysb.com/.
D.1 Technical Consultation
Please have the following information available prior to calling the factory:
Model number and serial number of unit;
Shipment date or date of purchase of an Extended Service Agreement;
Any markings on suspected subassemblies (such as revision level); and
Factory test data, if applicable.
Efficient resolution of your problem will be facilitated by an accurate description of the
problem and its precise symptoms. For example, is the problem intermittent or constant?
What are the indications? If applicable, what is your operating frequency?
Technical consultation is available at (805) 968-9621 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. During these hours a technical service
representative who knows your product should be available. If the representative for
your product is busy, your call will be returned as soon as possible. Leave your name,
station call letters if applicable, type of equipment, and telephone number(s) where you
can be reached in the next few hours.
Please understand that, in trying to keep our service lines open, we may be unable to
provide “walk-through” consultation. Instead, our representative will usually suggest the
steps to resolve your problem; try these steps and, if your problem remains, do not
hesitate to call back.
After-Hours Emergencies: Emergency consultation is available at (805) 252-2133
from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Pacific Time, Monday to Friday, and from 8:00 a.m. to

us fix the problem and get the equipment back to you as fast as possible. Include your
RA number inside the carton.
If you are shipping a complete chassis, all modules should be tied down or secured as
they were originally received. On some Moseley Associates equipment, printing on the
underside or topside of the chassis will indicate where shipping screws should be installed
and secured.
Ship equipment in its original packing, if possible. If you do not have the original box,
contact Technical Services and have them send you a complete shipping box. If you are
shipping a subassembly, please pack it generously to survive shipping. Make sure the
carton is packed fully and evenly without voids, to prevent shifting. Seal it with
appropriate shipping tape or nylon-reinforced tape. Mark the outside of the carton
"Electronic Equipment - Fragile" in large red letters. Note the RA number clearly on the
carton or on the shipping label, and make sure the name of your company is listed on the

D.3 Field Repair
Some Moseley Associates equipment will have stickers covering certain potentiometers,
varicaps, screws, and so forth. Please contact Moseley Associates technical service
department before breaking these stickers. Breaking a tamperproof sticker may void your
warranty.
When working with Moseley’s electronic circuits, work on a grounded antistatic surface,
wear a ground strap, and use industry-standard ESD control.
Try to isolate a problem to a module or to a specific section of a module. Then compare
actual wave shapes and voltage levels in your circuit with any shown on the block and
level diagrams or schematics. These will sometimes allow the problem to be traced to a
component.
Spare Parts Kits: Spare parts kits are available for all Moseley products. We encourage
the purchase of the appropriate kits to allow self-sufficiency with regard to parts.
Information about spares kits for your product may be obtained from our sales
department or technical service department.
Module Exchange: When it is impossible or impractical to trace a problem to the
component level, replacing an entire module or subassembly may be a more expedient
way to correct the problem. Replacement modules are normally available at Moseley
Associates for immediate shipment. Arrange delivery of a module with our technical
services representative. If the shipment is to be held at your local airport with a
telephone number to call, please provide an alternate number as well. This can prevent
unnecessary delays.
Field Repair Techniques: Moseley recommends that you do NOT attempt to repair your
equipment at the component level. Surface-mount technology is small and fragile, and
