1. Safety Precautions 1

1.Safety Precautions

PLEASE READ THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!

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. Do not

allow people to come in close proximity to the front of the antenna while the transmitter

is operating. The antenna will be professional installed on fixed-mounted outdoor

permanent structures to provide separation from any other antenna and all persons.

WARNING: RF Energy Exposure Limits and Applicable Rules for 6-38 GHz. It is

recommended that the radio equipment operator refer to the RF exposure rules and

precaution for each frequency band and other applicable rules and precautions with

respect to transmitters, facilities, and operations that may affect the environment due to

RF emissions for each radio equipment deployment site.

Appropriate warning signs must be properly placed and posted at the equipment site and

access entries.

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.

Do not turn on power before reading Moseley’s product documentation. This device has a

48 VDC direct current input.

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 of an ODU (if

applicable) when the radio is active.

2 1. Safety Precautions

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.

Warning – 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.

Warning – Turn off all power before

servicing

WARNING: Turn off all power before servicing.

Safety Requirements

Safety requirements require a switch be employed between the SDIDU™ external power

supply and the SDIDU™ power supplies.

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.

2.1About This Manual

This manual is written for those who are involved in the “hands-on” installation of the

EVENT HD in a microwave point-to-point link, such as installation technicians, site

evaluators, project managers, and network engineers. It assumes the reader has a basic

understanding of how to install hardware, use Windows based software, and operate

test equipment.

2.2Introduction

The Moseley family of digital radios provides high capacity transmission, flexibility,

features, and convenience for wireless digital communications networks. The Moseley

digital point-to-point radios represent a new microwave architecture that is designed to

address universal applications for video, audio, data, PDH and SDH platforms. This

advanced technology platform is designed to provide the flexibility to customers for their

current and future network needs.

The Moseley EVENT HD is a digital microwave radio terminal composed of a Software

Defined Indoor Unit™ (SDIDU™) and Outdoor Unit (ODU). The SDIDU is common to all

product lines whereas the ODU, the radio transceiver unit which establishes the

frequency of operation, is selected by application and model. The ODU is fully

interchangeable covering the licensed 2, 7, 13, 18, and 23 GHz bands as well as the

unlicensed 5.3 and 5.8 GHz ISM bands. Some applications are:

Broadcast STL (Studio-to-Transmitter Link) and BAS (Broadcast Auxiliary Service) for for

licensed half-duplex applications, FCC part 74.602, for data rates to 150 Mbps,

2 GHz band between 1990 to 2110 MHz in 12 MHz and 17 MHz channels.

6.5 GHz band between 6425 to 6525 MHz in 25 MHz channels.

7 GHz band between 6825 to 7125 MHz in 25 MHz channels.

13 GHz band between 12.7 to 13.25 GHz in 25 MHz channels.

6 GHz lower and upper, and 7 GHz ETSI.

18 and 23 GHz, US part 101.

The Event HD digital radios support diversity, 1+0, and 1+1 protection and ring

architectures in a single 1 RU chassis. The modem and power supply functions are

supported using easily replaceable plug-in modules. An additional feature of the SDIDUTM

is provision for a second plug-in modem/IF module to provide diversity, repeater or

east/west network configurations.

The Event HD includes integrated Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and

Provisioning (OAM&P) functionality and design features enabling simple commissioning

when the radio network is initially set up in the field at the customer’s premises.

Furthermore, a highlight of the Event HD is scalability and the capability to support a

ring-type architecture. This ring or consecutive point radio architecture is self-healing in

the event of an outage in the link and automatically re-routes data traffic, thereby

ensuring that service to the end user is not interrupted.

The Event HD digital radios enable network operators (mobile and private), government

and access service provides to offer a portfolio of secure, scalable wireless applications

for data, video, and Voice over IP (VoIP). The overall split mount architecture consists of

a single 1RU rack mount Software Defined Indoor Unit (SDIDUTM) with a cable

connecting to an Outdoor Unit (ODU) with an external antenna.

The controller status LED is the primary rear 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.

12 2. System Description

The standard I/O and modem status LEDs are set to red when certain alarms are posted.

A complete list of alarms is provided in Appendix H6.1.

The alarm description is also displayed in the Graphical User Interface (GUI) as described

in the User Interface Reference Manual.

Power Supply Input

DC Input

-48 VDC

48v (Isolated Input); 2-pin captive power connector. The

Software Defined IDU™ requires an input of 48 volts dc

±10% at the rear panel DC Input connector. The total

required power is dependent on the option cards and

protection configuration (1+0, 1+1). The SDIDUTM rear

panel power connector pin numbering is 1 through 2,

from left to right, when facing the unit rear panel. Pin 1

is the power supply return and is connected to unit

chassis ground internally. Pin 2 should be supplied with

a nominal 48 V 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 52 V dc at 2

Amps minimum. It is recommended that any power

supply used be able to supply a minimum of 100 W to

the SDIDUTM.

A mating power cable connector is supplied with the

Software Defined IDU™. 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 48 Vdc is 18

AWG.

The SDIDUTM supplies the ODU with all required power

via the ODU/SDIDUTM Interconnect cable. The Software

Defined IDU™ does not have a power on/off switch.

When DC power is connected to the SDIDUTM, the digital

radio powers up and is operational. There can be up to

320 mW of RF power present at the antenna port

(external antenna version). The antenna should be

directed safely when power is applied.

The upper RSL LED meter is calibrated to represent exactly 10 dB for each LED, going

from -95 dBm at the far left (red) to -15 dBm at the far right (green). The brightness of

each LED is modulated for levels between 0 to 10 dB such that the far left LED will be

fully extinguished at -95 dBm and the far right LED will be fully illuminated at -15 dBm.

When the RSL is in the red region (<-75 dBm) the signal level is approaching or has

reached threshold (depends on modulation type).

The transmit LED indicates full power will all 8 LEDs illuminated to minimum power with 1

LED illuminated. For simplex applications the both rows indicate either RSL or transmit

power.

2.5System Description

The overall Event-HD digital radio architecture consists of a single 1RU rack mount

Software Defined Indoor UnitTM (SDIDUTM) with a cable connecting to an Outdoor Unit

(ODU). The IF signal between the SDIDU and ODU operates at a relatively low frequency

compared with the RF signal allowing for extensive cable runs in excess of 250 m with

inexpensive coaxial cable with no degradation in radio performance.

The Event-HD ODU is mounted to a fixed or telescoping antenna mast near the desired

antenna location providing a short cable run between ODU and antenna at the RF

frequency. This SDIDU /ODU architecture is advantageous when compared to a single

IDU (no ODU) with external mount antenna as operating at these RF frequencies from

the IDU rack to the antenna will result in significant signal degradation and require

expensive low-loss coaxial cable or waveguide.

Figure 2-5. Event-HD Block Diagram

Figure 2-5 shows the Event-HD digital radio and interfaces from a functional point of

view. The functional partitions for the I/O, Modem/IF, power supply modules, up/down

converters, and internal RF duplexing partition are shown. The SDIDUTM 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 ODUs are interchangeable allowing

use of a single IDU in licensed, unlicensed, and short-haul applications by swapping the

RF component.

18 2. System Description

The Event-HD ODU 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

converts the received signal, provides additional filtering, and outputs an IF of 140 MHz

to the IF Processor.

The Event-HD digital radio modem performs QPSK, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM, and 128-

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 128 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation

(QAM). Table 2-5 summarizes the TCM/convolutional code rates for each modulation type

supported by the Event-HD.

The major functions of the SDIDUTM can be summarized as follows:

•I/O Processing – Event-HD digital radio comes with a standard I/O capability that

includes support for up to 16xT1/E1 and 2x100Base-TX user payloads, 2x100Base-TX

for SNMP, and voice orderwire. 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-

HD architecture is flexible and allows for the addition of other I/O types in the future.

•Switch/Framing – The Event-HD digital radio 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 – The Event-HD digital radio includes a Network Processor which

performs SNMP and Network Management functions.

•Modem/IF – The Event-HD digital radio 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

2. System Description 19

carrier. The multiplexer function is built into an appliqué that resides in the Modem/IF

Module. Two modems can be used for 1+1 protection or ring architectures.

•Power Supply – The Event-HD power supply accepts 48 Vdc and supplies the SDIDUTM

and ODU with power. A second redundant power supply may be added as an optional

module.

The Modem Processor and its associated RAM, ROM, and peripherals control the digital

and analog operation. It also provides configuration and control for both the IF and I/O

cards. The SDIDU interfaces with the ODU to receive and provide modulated transmit

and receive waveforms.

The Event-HD digital radio also provides the physical interface for the user payload and

network management. In transmit mode, the Framer merges user payload (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

SDIDUTM supports Scalable Ethernet data rates, such as 25 or 50 Mbps via the 100BaseT

data interface port. The SDIDUTM 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 the SDIDUTM for configuration, control, and

status monitoring. The CPU passes appropriate status information to the SDIDUTM rear

panel display.

The power supply converts -48 Vdc to the DC voltage levels required by each component

in the system.

2.6Consecutive Point Architecture

The consecutive point network architecture is based upon 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 (see Figure 2-6). This architecture

lets providers deliver high bandwidth with high availability to their customers.

20 2. System Description

Figure 2-6. Ring Configuration

SONET/SDH rings are inherently self-healing. Each ring has both 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 Software Defined IDU™. 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 for an ethernet network in Figure 2-7. For 2 x 1+0 and

2 x 1+1 nodes payload and NMS connections need to be jumpered between two SDIDUTM.

For 1 x 2+0 nodes, there is no need for jumpers as there is a single SDIDUTM. For SDH or

SONET payloads, the configuration is similar but an external add/drop mux is required.

2. System Description 21

Figure 2-7. Consecutive Point Network

2.72 + 0 (East-West) Configuration

The Event-HD supports a 2+0, or east-west, configuration that allows a consecutive point

architecture to be achieved with only a single 1 RU chassis at each location. In this

configuration the SDIDUTM contains two modems and may contain two power supplies.

One modem is referred to as the west modem and the other as the east modem. The

SDIDUTM is connected to two ODUs, one broadcasting/receiving in one directing of the

ring architecture and the other broadcasting/receiving in the other as shown in Figure

2-8.

2.8Spanning 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.

2.91+1 Protection

The Event HD supports 1+1 protection as an option for a critical link. In this

configuration, protection is provided in a single 1 RU chassis. The SDIDUTM contains two

power supplies and two modems. The power supply, ODU, 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 called

Protected Non-Diversity and Protected Diversity.

2.9.1Protected Non-Diversity (Hot Standby)

Figure 2-9 shows operation in Protected Non-Diversity mode, also called Hot Standby. In

this mode, one ODU at each location transmits to two ODUs at the other location. This

2. System Description 23

mode does not require the extra bandwidth or interference protection. It provides hitless

receive switching and hot standby. The SDIDUTM automatically switches transmit ODU

upon appropriate ODU alarm or ODU interface error, minimizing transmit outage time.

In Protected Diversity mode, the link between each pair of modems is the same, as

shown in Figure 2-10, providing complete redundancy. This arrangement requires

bandwidth for both links and non-interference between the links, but it provides hitless

receive and transmit switching. The SDIDUTM supports both frequency and spatial

diversity.

Protected Non-Diversity, or Hot Standby, is also referred to as Single Transmitter Spatial

Diversity. For more information on this mode, see Section 2.9.1.

2.9.2.2.2Dual Transmitter

When using Dual Transmitter Spatial Diversity, two active transmitters are physically

isolated to avoid crosstalk.

2.101 + 1 Multi-hop Repeater Configuration

The Event HD supports a 1 + 1 multi-hop repeater configuration with drop/insert

capability as shown in Figure 2-11. This configuration provides individual 1 + 1 link

protection as described in section 2.7, as well as the full-scale protection inherent in the

consecutive point architecture as described in section 2.6. At each location within the

network, data may be dropped or inserted. In this configuration each SDIDUTM contains

two power supplies and two modems.

2.11Data 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-IO 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.

26 2. System Description

2.12Crosspoint Switch

The SDIDU™ crosspoint switch provides any-to-any E1/T1 routing between rear panel

ports and RF links, as shown in Figure 2-12. Flexible channel mapping allows selection

from predefined routings or custom routing. Custom routings are uploaded to the

SDIDU™ via FTP. Two examples of the crosspoint capability are to use the crosspoint

switch to configure a repeater or an add/drop. These examples are shown in Figure 2-13.

In the repeater example, the Crosspoint Switch is used as a passthrough to send E1/T1s

from the east modem to the west modem. In the add/drop example, the crosspoint

switch connects E1/T1s from the modems to the rear-panel ports.

2.13Power 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

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.

28 2. System Description

In response to the need for a high-density deployment model the Event-HD uses a

unique power control technique called AdTPC. AdTPC enables Event-HD to transmit at the

minimum power level necessary to maintain a link regardless of the prevailing weather

and interference conditions. The Event-HD 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 Event-HD radios constantly

monitor receive power and maintain 10-12 BER performance under varying interference

and climate conditions. Each Event-HD 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-

HD 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-HD units in a smaller area.

2.14Event-HD Software and Network Management

All of the Event-HD parameters are accessible in three ways:

1. Using a standard web-browser via HTTP to access the built in web server.

2. Via SNMP using the fully featured MIB, allowing for automation of data collection

and network management.

3. Via a command line client accessible from a terminal client connected to the serial

port, or telnet over the NMS Ethernet.

The GUI (HTTP), SNMP, and CLI interfaces are discussed in detail in the Software Defined

IDU™ User Interface Manual.

2.14.1IP Address

Each Event-HD radio is configured independently for network parameters such as IP

address, subnet, and gateway. However, the Event-HD also supports acting as a DHCP

client, in which case the IP address can be assigned to the Event-HD radio using a DHCP

server. A specific IP address may be associated with a particular Event-HD radio by

configuring the DHCP server to serve IP addresses based upon the SDIDU™ Ethernet

MAC address.

2.14.2Network

The Event-HD uses an “Out-of-Band” NMS network which is separated from the payload

Ethernet network. Each Event-HD contains a managed Layer 2 Ethernet switch that

supports Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) for managing NMS traffic. This allows the Event-

2. System Description 29

HD 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. The Event-HD acts as a network bridge via the Ethernet switch and STP. The

Event-HD does not currently support NMS routing capability.

2.14.3NMS Network Operational Principles

The Event-HD does not provide routing capability. Therefore, all Event-HD radios must

be on the same subnet as the PC being used to access the Event-HD radios. If the Event-

HD radios and/or the PC are on different subnets, a router must be used, with the

gateway addresses set appropriately. Figure 2-14 shows the PC and both Event-HD

SDIDUs™ in the same subnet. In this case, no router is required. Figure 2-15 shows the

PC and one of the Event-HD SDIDUs™ in one subnet and the other Event-HD SDIDU™ in

another. In this case, a router is required. Note how the GW addresses are set to allow

communication from the PC to the Event-HD SDIDU™ in the other subnet.

3.5Overview of Installation and Testing Process

The installation and testing process is accomplished by performing a series of separate,

yet interrelated, procedures, each of which is required for the successful implementation

of a production Event-HD network. These procedures are as follows:

•Site Evaluation: gathering specific information about potential Event-HD radio™

installation sites.

•Cable and Installation: Testing and installing ODU cables and optional interface

devices at installation sites.

•Event-HD ODU Mounting and Alignment: Mounting ODUs to a pole or wall, performing

link alignment and radio frequency (RF) verification.

•Event-HD Digital Radio Configuration: Using Event-HD Link Manager software to

install network- and site-specific parameters in the radios.

•Event-HD Digital Radio Testing: Performing cable continuity checks and RF tests for

links, the payload/radio overhead channel, and the management channel.

The following diagram shows where installation and commissioning resides within the

Event-HD network deployment life cycle and defines the sequence in which the processes

that comprise installation and commissioning should be performed.

3.6Site Evaluation

A site evaluation consists of a series of procedures for gathering specific information

about potential Event-HD 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:

3. Installation 5

•Confirm

•Line of sight for each link

•Event-HD ODU mounting locations

•Site equipment locations

•Cable routes

•Any other potential RF sources

•Prepare site drawings and record site information

3.6.1Preparing for a Site Evaluation

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”)

The following tasks must be completed prior to performing a site evaluation:

•Prepare the initial network design by performing the following:

•Identify potential buildings by identifying targeted customers (applicable if you’re

a service provider)

•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.

6 3. Installation

3.6.2Site Evaluation Process

The following steps must be completed to perform a successful site evaluation. Each step

in the process is detailed in the following subparagraphs:

•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.

•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.

•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.

Event-HD radios 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:

•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.

•Ensure that each Event-HD ODU can be mounted in the position required to

correctly align the Event-HD ODU 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.

3. Installation 7

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.

•Determine Event-HD ODU Mounting Requirements: Event-HD ODUs can be

mounted on an antenna mast, brick, masonry or wall. Refer to detailed installation

sections specific for each ODU and antenna type.

•Determine Event-HD Software Defined IDU™ Installation Location: Software

Defined IDU™ can be installed tabletop or cabinet, wall mount, or rack mount.

The site must provide DC power. Refer to detailed installation sections.

•Document Potential Sources of Co-location Interference: When Event-HD ODUs

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:

-Transmitting and/or receiving frequency

-Type of antenna

-Distance from Event-HD ODU (horizontal and vertical)

-Polarity (horizontal or vertical), if applicable

-Transmit power level

-Antenna direction

•Measure the Link Distance: The two ways to measure link distance are as follows:

-GPS: record the latitude and longitude for the near and far ODU 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.

-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.

•Select the Grounding Location for both the Event-HD ODU and SDIDUTM: The

Software Defined IDU™ must be properly grounded in order to protect it and the

structure it is installed on from lightning damage. This requires

8 3. Installation

-Grounding all Event-HD ODUs to antenna tower.

-Grounding all SDIDUTM to the rack.

•Determine the Length of Interconnect Cable from Event-HD ODU to SDIDUTM: The

primary consideration for the outdoor interconnect cable from the Event-HD ODU

to SDIDUTM is the distance and route between the Event-HD ODU and SDIDUTM.

This cable should not exceed 330 feet using Times Microwave LMR-200 cable.

Guidelines are provided in Table 3-1. Exact distances should take ODU

requirements into account.

•Confirm the Presence of DC Power for the Event-HD Software Defined IDU™.

•Ensure Building Aesthetics: Ensure that the ODU 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.

•Take Site Photographs

•Sketch the Site

3.6.3Critical System Calculations

3.6.3.1 Received Signal Level (RSL) and Link Budget

The received signal level (RSL) can be estimated using the following formula:

RSL (dBm) = PTX + GTX ANT – LPath + GRX ANT

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:

3. Installation 9

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)

3.6.3.2 Fade Margin Calculation

The fade margin is the difference between the actual received signal and the Event-HD

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.

3.6.3.3 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.

Availability = 100 × (1 – P)

P = 2.5 × 10-9 × C × F × D3× 10(-FM/10)

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 as defined below:

10 3. Installation

Humid/Over Water: C = 4 (worst case channel)

Average Conditions: C = 1

Dry/Mountains: C = 0.25 (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.

3.6.4Frequency Plan Determination

When configuring Event-HD units in a point-to-point or consecutive point configuration,

careful engineering of the Event-HD 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 often 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 band of use. Desired 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 illustrated in

Figures 3-3 through Figure 3-8 based on application frequency.

The channel assignments shown in the figures correspond to the channel numbers

entered via the graphical user interface (GUI) or SNMP.

3.6.5Antenna 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.

1. Select where the cable will enter the building from the outside.

2. 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.

14 3. Installation

3.6.6ODU Transmit Power Setup

Setting the ODU 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 2200 is 37 dBm in QPSK mode. Therefore the maximum power

backoff would follow Table 3-2 below:

3.6.6.1 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 ODU 5800 may therefore be operated at its maximum

output power, +23 dBm, for maximum system gain.

EIRP is calculated for link budget with external antennas as,

EIRP(avg) dBm = External Antenna Gain (dBi) + 23 dBm

For internal antenna (23 dBi) EIRP is,

EIRP(avg) = 46 dBm

3. Installation 15

3.6.6.2 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 3-1 for both

internal antenna and external antenna ODU configurations, along with the operational

bandwidths.

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.

3.6.6.2.1ODU with Internal Antenna

Table 3-3 indicates the maximum average transmit power setting that may be selected

ODU 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).

3.6.6.2.2ODU with 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

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)

+5 dBm – 14.6 dB = -9.6 dBm (-10 dBm).

Table 3-3 also presents transmit power settings for various antenna dish sizes.

16 3. Installation

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 budget calculations,

EIRP(Avg) dBm= Antenna Gain (dBi) + Tx Power

Though transmitter radiated power is limited in the receiver benefits from gain of larger

antennas.

3.7Installation of the Event-HD

The following sections provide installation guides for:

•SDIDUTM Installation

•ODU Installation

3.7.1Installing the Event-HD SDIDUTM

The Event-HD SDIDUTM can be installed in the following three options:

1. Table top or cabinet

2. Wall mount

3. Rack mount

The Event-HD SDIDUTM should be:

•Located where you can easily connect to a power supply and any other equipment

used in your network, such as a router or PC.

•In a relatively clean, dust-free environment that allows easy access to the rear

grounding post as well as the rear panel controls and indicators. Air must be able to

pass freely over the chassis, especially the rear.

•Accessible for service and troubleshooting.

•Protected from rain and extremes of temperature (it is designed for indoor use).

3.7.1.1 Installing on a Table Top or Cabinet

The Event-HD Software Defined IDU™ can be placed on a tabletop or cabinet shelf. In

order to prevent possible disruption, it is recommended to use a strap to secure the

SDIDUTM.

3.7.1.2 Installing on a Wall

An installation option for the Event-HD SDIDUTM is mounting the unit to a wall. Consult

factory for details.

If the wall mount option is being considered, plan to position the Event-HD Software

Defined IDU™ at a height that allows LEDs, the connectors on the rear panel, and the

rear grounding post to be visible at all times and easily accessible. Also, including plastic

clamps to support and arrange the ODU/ SDIDUTM Interconnect Cable should also be

considered.

18 3. Installation

3.7.1.3 Installing in a Rack

To maintain good airflow and cooling, it is preferred that the Event-HD Software Defined

IDU™ is installed in a slot that has blank spaces above and below the unit.

To rack-mount the SDIDUTM, use the supplied mounting brackets (Moseley part number

2734001-0001) to secure the chassis to the rack cabinet. As shown in Figure 3-8, the

brackets can be attached at any of four points on the sides of the enclosure – back, back,

middle facing front, and middle facing back. This flexibility ensures compatibility with

most rack mounting arrangements.

3.7.2Installing the Event-HD ODU

The Event-HD ODU is intended for mounting on either a pole or antenna mast within

close proximity to the antenna.

Each site must be assessed for the mounting method, location, and height. After defining

the mounting location and height for the Event-HD, re-confirm the line of sight.

Note: When operating a 1+1 configured Event-HD, i.e. an SDIDU™ with two power

supplies and two modem modules installed, an ODU must be connected to the modem in

the bottom slot. If the ODU is connected to the modem in the top slot, the SDIDU™ will

not communicate with the ODU, and a link cannot be established.

For proper support the antenna mast or mounting pole must be mounted in a vertical

position (i.e., no tilt), preferably with a plum.

If the ODU utilizes an internal antenna, such as the ODU5300 and ODU5800 with

internal antenna option, vertical tilt of the ODU is accomplished from the tilt

mounting bracket. Also, it is important to note the direction in which the ODU will

point when installing the mounting pole.

The antenna mast or mounting pole must be grounded. Different ODUs may require

different mounting hardware and techniques. The next sections describe mounting

techniques for various ODU families.

3.7.3Routing the ODU/IDU Interconnect Cable

1. Select where the cable will enter the truck or building from outside.

2. 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. Route the cable.

The SDIDUTM is equipped with TNC female connector on the rear of the chassis.

Depending on the ODU type, it will be equipped with either an N-type or TNC female

connector at its interconnecting port. A length of coaxial cable (such as Times Microwave

Systems LMR-400, LMR-300 or LMR-200) fitted with the appropriate N-type or TNC male

connectors is required to connect the ODU to the SDIDUTM. This cable assembly may be

supplied in fixed lengths with the digital radio. Bulk coaxial cable of equivalent

specification may also be used, with terminating connectors applied during cable

installation.

Based on an evaluation of the cable routing path, pull the ODU/SDIDUTM Interconnect

cable from one unit to the other, utilizing cable trays, ducts, or conduit as required. Take

care that the ODU/ SDIDUTM Interconnect cable is not kinked or damaged in any way

during installation. Be sure to protect the TNC connectors from stress, damage and

contamination during installation (do not pull the cable by the connectors). If multiple

ODU/ SDIDUTM Interconnect cables are to be installed along the same route, the cables

should all be pulled at one time. Be sure the installed cable does not have any bends that

exceed the specified cable bend radius. The ODU/ SDIDUTM Interconnect cable should be

adequately supported on horizontal runs and should be restrained by hangers or ties on

3. Installation 23

vertical runs to reduce stress on the cable. Outside the building, support and restrain the

cable as required by routing and environmental conditions (wind, ice).

The Event-HD ODU/SDIDUTM and interconnection must be properly grounded in order to

protect it and the structure it is installed on from lightning damage. This requires that the

ODU, any mounting pole or mast and any exposed interconnect cable be grounded on the

outside of the structure. The SDIDUTM must be grounded to a rack or structure ground

that also has direct path to earth ground.

The ODU must be directly connected to a ground rod or equivalent earth ground. The

ODU/ SDIDUTM interconnect cable should also be grounded at the ODU, where the cable

enters the structure and at intermediate points if the exposed cable run is long (typically

at intervals of 100 ft), with the cable manufacturer’s grounding kits. Lightning protection

devices used with the interconnect cable must be appropriate for the transmission of the

interconnect signals (DC to 350 MHz).

Provide a sufficient but not excessive length of cable at each end to allow easy

connection to the ODU and SDIDUTM without stress or tension on the cable. Excessive

cable length, especially outdoors, should be avoided to minimize signal attenuation and

provide a more robust and reliable installation. If installing using bulk coaxial cable,

terminate the ODU/ SDIDUTM Interconnect cable at each end with a TNC male connector

on the SDIDUTM side and either an N-type or TNC male connector on the ODU side that is

appropriate for the cable type. Use of connectors, tools and termination procedures

specified by the cable manufacturer is recommended.

Once the cable has been installed but before connection has been made to either unit, a

simple DC continuity test should be made to verify the integrity of the installed cable. A

DC continuity tester or digital multimeter may be used to verify a lack of DC continuity

between the cable center conductor and outer conductor, with the opposite end of the

cable unconnected. With a temporary test lead or shorting adapter connected to one end

of the cable, DC continuity should be verified between the center and outer conductors at

the opposite end.

3.8Quick Start Guide

Although configuration of the SDIDUTM does not require a connection to the ODU, it is

suggested that the ODU and SDIDU™ are connected prior to configuring the SDIDUTM.

Each SDIDU™ has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) installed that can be accessed

through a computer connection. The GUI is described in detail in the User Interface

Guide. The section below describes how to get started configuring the SDIDU TM via the

GUI.

3.8.6ODU Antenna Alignment

Receive signal level indication at the antenna/ODU location is a power tool to aid antenna

alignment at the time of installation. The following provides ODU specific information

regarding the receive signal.

3.8.6.1 ODU 2200, 6500, 7200

The ODU 2200, 6500, and 7200 has an externally visible LED meter that provides both

RSL (Receive Signal Level) and transmit power. For full-duplex operation the ODU meter

displays RSL on the top bar and transmit level on the bottom bar as shown in Figure

3-19.

(Top Row)

Figure 3-19. ODU 2200 RSSI Output vs. Received Signal.

The upper RSL LED meter is calibrated to represent exactly 10 dB for each LED, going

from -95 dBm at the far left (red) to -15 dBm at the far right (green). The brightness of

each LED is modulated for levels between 0 to 10 dB such that the far left LED will be

fully extinguished at -95 dBm and the far right LED will be fully illuminated at -15 dBm.

When the RSL is in the red region (<-75 dBm) the signal level is approaching or has

reached threshold (depends on modulation type).

The transmit LED indicates full power will all 8 LEDs illuminated to minimum power with 1

LED illuminated.

3. Installation 31

For simplex applications such as broadcast STL or ENG where the ODU is a receiver or a

transmitter only then both LED bars represent either RSL for receiver ODU or transmit

power for transmitter ODU. For RSL each LED represents 5 dB, with brightness

modulated from off for 0 dB to fully on for 5 dB increments.

3.8.6.2 ODU 5300/5800

To use the built-in tuning of the ODU 5300 or 5800 antenna, a complete link is required,

with both ends of the link roughly pointed at each other, and transmitting.

Once the links are roughly pointed, connect the voltmeter to the RSSI (Receive Signal

Strength Indication) BNC connector seen on the ODU. 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 0Volts for minimum RSL at

-90 dBm. This mapping characteristic is plotted below in Figure 3-20.

Figure 3-20. ODU RSSI Output vs. Received Signal.

3.8.7Quick Start Settings

PC Network Configuration

The Web GUI may be accessed via NMS by connecting a CAT5 patch cable between the

SDIDUTM front-panel NMS port and a PC. The PCs network interface must be configured to

an open IP address within the same subnet. For the default Moseley Event-HD

configuration, the IP address of the PC needs to be 192.168.1.x, where x (between 1 and

100) provides an available IP address. DHCP may also be used to set the PC IP address if

a DHCP server is configured on the same subnet.

32 3. Installation

Event-HD IP Address

The Event-HD system will be configured and tested as link prior to delivery to the

customer. The IP address will be set at the factory to these default values:

Parameter Value

Address

192.168.1.1xx

Netmask 255.255.255.0

environment. When packaging modules for shipment or storage, place in an

ESD bag.

10. Remove rear panel connections to the module.

11. Remove the two thumbscrews on either side of the module. Figure 3-23 shows

the locations of these thumb screws.

a. The thumbscrew for the Standard IO Module is located on the right side of

the Mini IO Module slot.

b. If a Mini IO module is installed and the Standard IO Module is to be

removed, both modules will be removed as one unit.

c. When removing only the Mini IO card, remove the corner screw indicated in

Figure 3-23 and one thumb screw.

Figure 3-23. Thumbscrew and Corner Screw Locations

12. Thread thumbscrew(s) into hole(s) shown in Figure 3-24. Remove the module

by grasping the thumbscrew(s) and pulling module straight out of the

SDIDU™. Both thumbscrews should be used for all modules except the Power

Supply and the Mini IO Modules.

a. The Power Supply and Mini IO Modules have only one threaded hole each.

b. When removing the Standard IO Module, the ground lug indicated in Figure

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 SDIDU™ 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 3-24. Threaded Hole Locations

3.9.2Installing 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 SDIDU™. Figure 3-25 shows a photo of the guides. As the module face plate

comes flush with the face of the SDIDU™, connectors on the rear of the module

will engage with the SDIDU™ 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 IO Module only has one guide on the right side. Take care to insert

the Mini IO module carefully and correctly engage the rear connector with its

FACTORY SERVICE

Component level repair of radio equipment is not recommended in the field. Many

components are installed using surface mount technology, which requires specialized

training and equipment for proper servicing. For this reason, the equipment should be

returned to the factory for any PC board repairs. The factory is best equipped to

diagnose, repair and align your radio to its proper operating specifications.

If return of the equipment is necessary, you will be issued a Service Request Order

(SRO) number and return shipping address. The SRO number will help expedite the

repair so that the equipment can be repaired and returned to you as quickly as possible.

Please be sure to include the SRO number on the outside of the shipping box, and on any

correspondence relating to the repair. No equipment will be accepted for repair without

an SRO number.

A statement should accompany the radio describing, in detail, the trouble symptom(s),

and a description of any associated equipment normally connected to the radio. It is also

important to include the name and telephone number of a person in your organization

who can be contacted if additional information is required.

The radio must be properly packed for return to the factory. The original shipping

container and packaging materials should be used whenever possible.
