SCOPE
This document defines the installation requirements for the TransCell 1900TM, Transcept’s
six-carrier TDMA-over-microwave system. Throughout this document the acronym SCCS
(Self-Contained Cell Site) is used to refer to a base station. The SCCS is a cabinet that
contains a base station. The terms donor and donor site refer to the TransCell 1900TM Hub
units, reflecting their function of “donating” sectors from the SCCS to the Remote unit(s).
The terms repeater and repeater site refer to the TransCell 1900TM Remote units.

NOTE
The maximum allowable gain of the PCS antennas
being used is equal to 16 dBi plus the loss value of the
cabling between the antenna and the antenna terminal
on the Remote cabinet (Typically 3.5 dB). This ensures
that maximum peak E.I.R.P. will not exceed 1640 watts
per FCC 47CFR 24.232.
e. All RF cables that connect to the data link antenna(s). (Cable diameter of 5/8" is
required, Andrew LDF4.5-50 or equivalent. See Appendix A for data link antenna
installation options.) If other cable is used:
1) RF loss must be the same or better than Andrew LDF4.5-50 at 5.8 GHz.
2) VSWR must be the same or better than LDF4.5-50 at 5.8GHz.
f. Materials and Electrician to wire the Hub and Remote cabinets to electrical service
as described in Paragraphs 4.6 and 5.5.
g. Tower crews to mount antenna(s) and RF cables on tower.
h. At each site with a Hub cabinet (donor site), if not already done, the CSU must be
upgraded to a CSU/DSU (Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit), Kentrox 72651
or equivalent.
i.
V.35 cable for CSU/DSU, Kentrox part # 95010054. Note: The ‘010’ in the part
number specifies a 10-foot cable length.
j.
25-pin D-shell extender (straight through, plug to receptacle) to connect part #
95010054 to the Hub V.35 interface 25-pin D-shell via conduit, where necessary.
This cable cut to length per installation and D-shell plug connected after cable
passed through conduit.
k. Router (Cisco 7204, or equivalent) and DSU/CSU/T1 interface (Cisco PA-MC-4T1, or
equivalent) installed at repeater-associated switch to transmit repeater status
information on the customer’s network.
l.
Network configuration that includes two IP addresses for each Hub/Remote Pair
(HRP).
m. Modification of base station parameters where appropriate. See Paragraph 8.1.
n. Removal of all quarter-wave lightning arrestors if in series with PCS RF lines.
o. Labor to install TransCell 1900TM cabinets on site.
p. Executing all other installation procedures included in this document.
Alternatively, Transcept provides installation service packages. For more details,
contact your Transcept sales or field representative.

REMOTE SITE INSTALLATION
The following section covers the site installation requirements for the Remote unit
(repeater site).
4.1
TOWER TOP VIEW
Figure 1 is an overhead view of the Remote site with respect to a highway. The two sectors
shown transmit and receive the same information due to the signals being split in the
Page 2

1000462 A
Remote Assembly. Each antenna is used to transmit and receive RF signals, instead of
having two receive antennas and one transmit antenna. The Remote site shown here
utilizes the same mounting pad as an SCCS. The Remote cabinet has an option that allows
the repeater site to have three-sector capability.

Sector 2
Figure 1. Overhead View of Remote Site
4.2
REMOTE CABLING REQUIREMENTS
Figure 2 is a diagram of the cabling requirements for the Remote sites. The configuration
shown provides corridor coverage. Unlike a standard 3-sector system, which provides a
unique channel for each sector, the TDMA-Over-Microwave system transmits the same
information in both directions. In Figure 2, the Sector 1 and 2 designations are used to
identify the location of components on the tower. Table 4.1 also defines the required
connectors, tower-top LNAs and cable lengths.
Table 4-1 lists the recommended parameters for tower cables, jumper cables, and data link
cables. When selecting tower cables, bigger is better in terms of propagation losses, but not
for weight and wind loading. Table 4-1 defines the minimum diameter of cable required in
order to minimize wind and weight loading on the tower and still meet TransCell 1900TM
system requirements. All RF connections to the Hub or Remote cabinet shall not exceed a
voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.5:1.
When using the 3-sector option, another sector's worth of cable materials must be added.

DATA LINK ANTENNA CLEARANCE
Figure 4 depicts the minimum spacing from the PCS antennas to the data link antenna.
The clearances from the PCS antennas to the data link antenna take into account the
possibility that the PCS antenna may overhang the data link antenna. The clearance from
the top of obstacles to the bottom of the antenna is a requirement that applies to the entire
path from the Remote site to the Hub site. The required clearance is specified in Document
No. 1000143, Table 4, Data Link Requirements.

REMOTE ASSEMBLY OUTLINE DIMENSIONS
Figure 7 is an outline drawing of the Remote Assembly. The main interfaces are the
Emergency Generator Receptacle, 125 Amp Service Panel and eleven RF ports. The Remote
Assembly has its own service panel for distribution of power. The emergency generator
receptacle allows the Remote Assembly to be powered from an external generator. To use
this capability, the generator circuit breaker must be placed in the ON position. When the
generator circuit breaker is ON, the main breaker is turned off, and power flows from the
generator to the Remote Assembly.
The base of the Remote Assembly is depicted in Figure 8. The base is bolted to the cement
pad first and then the cabinet is placed on it and bolted down with 1/2-inch nuts.
The RF ports are used to interface the Remote Assembly to the PCS Antennas and Data
Link Antenna. Even though three connectors are shown for each sector, only the RxP/Tx
and RxD/Tx ports are used in sectors 1 and 2. Sector 3 is an optional sector that is used
when three-sector coverage is needed. The Tx port in each sector is used only when the 12carrier option is implemented. Figure 9 is a diagram that depicts the spacing of the DIN
connectors on the Remote cabinet.

Figure 10 is an overhead view of the Hub site with respect to a highway when an SCCS is
used. The unit can also be installed inside a shelter or outside the shelter. The two sectors
shown transmit and receive the same information due to the signals being combined and
split at the SCCS. One antenna is used to transmit and receive RF signals and the other
antenna is used for receive only. The third sector in the SCCS is utilized to interface to the
antennas at the donor site. The first and second sectors in the SCCS are donated to the
repeater sites.

HUB CABLING REQUIREMENTS
Figure 11 is a diagram of the cabling requirements for the Hub sites. The configuration
shown provides corridor coverage for a non-duplexed SCCS to Hub interface. Unlike a
conventional SCCS system which provides a unique channel for each sector, the SCCS
transmits the same information in both directions via the PCS antennas (Sector 1, Sector
2), meanwhile feeding signals from its other two sectors to the Hub cabinet for data link
transmission.
Figure 11 also defines the required connectors, tower top LNAs and cable lengths. The
customer determines the type of tower cable (Table 4-1 should be used as reference). Also
depicted in the diagram are the duplexer and splitters that the customer must configure
with the SCCS to provide corridor coverage. The customer will also have to ensure that the
SCCS can power the tower-top LNAs.

BIAS TEE ALARMING
The Lucent Base Station will alarm if no current draw is detected at the donor sector's Dx
FRU. To disable this alarm, install a m-f 9-pin D shell plug, with a jumper on pins 3 and 4,
at the Dx FRU J10 receptacle.
The Ericsson base station has current monitoring on each bias tee port. The bias tee port is
used to power a single tower-top LNA. When a sector on the base station is split to run
antennas on two sectors, each bias tee port drives two tower top LNAs as a result. The
doubling of current demand causes an alarm to be reported. One solution to the problem is
to combine two bias tee outputs to drive one bias tee. Figure 13 is a diagram of one of the
options to solve the tower-top amplifier problem.

HUB PRIME POWER FEED
Figure 14 is a diagram of the power distribution for a typical Hub Site. To maintain a single
Emergency Generator Receptacle to power the SCCS and Hub, a main power panel is
required. Contained within the panel will be a 20-amp, 120-VAC breaker for the Hub
cabinet; a 100-amp breaker for the SCCS; a 100-amp or 200-amp main breaker; and a 100amp generator breaker. If a 20-amp circuit is open in the SCCS or in the shelter's circuit
panel, the power panel would not be required.
Along with the main power panel, a surge arrestor is required to protect the Hub's
Assemblies and SCCS from voltage transients on the main power lines.

HUB ASSEMBLY OUTLINE DIMENSIONS
Figure 15 is an outline drawing of the Hub Assembly. One side of the Hub Assembly has
two 4-inch x 4-inch junction boxes labeled PWR and COM. The junction boxes allow the
installer to make all necessary connections to the Hub without having to open the unit.
When the PWR junction box is opened for the first time, the installer will find flying leads
for connection of electronics power and a grounding stud for safety ground. Each lead is
labeled as to its connection point. Table 5-1 defines the label markings.
The COM junction box contains one 25-pin D connector for the V.35 connection. When the
installer routes the communication cable through the conduit to the Hub, the cable will be
terminated with the proper connectors by the installer.
The mounting base for the Hub enclosure is shown in Figure 16. The base is bolted to the
concrete pad, and then the cabinet is placed on it. If the Hub enclosure is mounted inside a
shelter, the base is not required. Figure 17 depicts the DIN connectors on the Hub cabinet.

COMMUNICATION CONCEPT
Figure 18 depicts a concept for communication between a number of Hub sites and the
existing network. The term concept indicates that this is one possible option for connecting
the Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OA&M) interface to the network. The
following are explanations for the major blocks:
1. Hub: Each Hub contains a V.35 interface and a Signal Processing Module (SPM)
Ethernet (10BaseT) interface.
SCCS: Each SCCS contains a CSU as a minimum. The CSU must be updated to a
CSU/DSU to provide the TransCell 1900TM access to a time slot (DS0) selectable by the
customer. A DS0 line is needed for communications from a TransCell 1900TM site to be
seen at the SEM. In order to peel a DS0 off of an existing fiber back-haul at the donor
(Hub) site, a few CSU/DSU parameters must be modified to ensure smooth operation of the
TransCell 1900TM. A typical setup checklist is shown below.

2. MSC (Master Station Controller): All information from the Hub-Remote Pair (HRP)
is transferred in ASCII format over the T1 lines to the MSC. The information for
both the Hub and Remote Assembly in each HRP is sent from the Hub to the
upgraded CSU/DSUs. The outputs of the CSU/DSUs are routed to the MSC for
processing. At the MSC end, the CSU/DSU outputs are combined onto one T1 and
fed into a router. The extracted OA&M data is then sent to an Ethernet Hub and
routed to the OA&M interface (SEM). The SEM processes/displays operational
information and provides a control point for the operation of all the HRPs. If a
problem is detected, alarm information is sent automatically to the SEM, where it is
made available to the Operational Support System (OSS) as tab-delimited ASCII
data via TCP/IP.
NOTE
The customer must assign two IP addresses to each HRP.

the Transcept Enclosure V.35 cable interface (1000389).
After the cable is routed through the conduit into the Hub 4-inch x 4-inch junction box, a
25D connector (plug) will be attached. The Hub Enclosure v.35 interface cable shown below
will be installed at Transcept prior to shipment. For a pin-out of this cable (1000389), see

RF PLANNING
To better understand how to implement the TransCell 1900TM system with regard to RF
planning requirements, the following paragraphs are included to give more detail than has
been covered in previous documentation.

DATA LINK ANTENNAS
The standard antenna that is sold as part of the TransCell 1900TM system is a solid
parabolic dish antenna. See Figure 22. See Appendix A for data-link antenna installation
options.

RF PLANNING MODEL
7.2.1 PCS Link Budget
The TransCell 1900TM system is simple to implement into a link budget. In the forward
path, the repeater is transparent to the link budget. For the six-carrier system, when the
BTS outputs 40 dBm into the Hub cabinet, the remote cabinet will output 40 dBm. In the
reverse path, the repeater amplifies the signal by 10 dB (see Figure 23). If the input to the
remote cabinet is -110 dBm, the power level output from the remote unit will be -100 dBm
nominal. The TransCell 1900TM system can be thought of as a tower-top amplifier with no
forward insertion loss.

7.2.2 Data Link Budget
The TransCell 1900TM system is designed to work with tower spacing up to 12 miles. As
long as the requirements of paragraph 4.3 are met, the data link will operate reliably. If a
Lucent Base Station is used, however, a delay issue must be mitigated at data-link spans
measuring over nine miles. See Paragraph 9.2.4 for details.
7.2.3
Alternate Installation schemes
This section depicts alternate ways to implement the TransCell 1900TM system into a
network. The following paragraphs illustrate how flexible the TransCell 1900TM system is
in solving coverage needs.
The term sector may be confusing when looking at the diagrams. The term sector is used in
the following senses:
a. Each of the three faces of a tower is referred to as a sector. As there typically has
been a one-to-one correspondence between the tower faces and the SCCS
connections, the term sector has carried into the SCCS.
b. When looking at the repeater sites (where the remote cabinet is located), the term
sector represents the side of the tower.

Standard Corridor Coverage
The term standard coverage refers to the original design concept of providing corridor
coverage along a highway. Figure 24 is a top-down view of this implementation. The donor
site is the middle tower and the two end towers are the repeater sites. Two of the sectors in
the SCCS are microwave linked to the repeater sites and the third sector is run to the
antennas on the tower. Figure 25 is a block diagram of the donor and repeater sites. At the
donor site, the primary receive and transmit ports are duplexed together, split, connected to
a tower-top LNA and run to antennas that are in separate sectors. The diversity receive
port is split, connected to a tower-top LNA and run to antennas that are in separate sectors.
At the repeater site, there is a separate cable for each antenna. Prior to the antenna, a
tower top amplifier is used to set the noise figure at the top of the tower. Duplexing and
splitting are done internal to the remote cabinet. Each sector transmits the same PCS
signals in sectors 1 and 2.
The power out of the remote cabinet is 10 watts per cable or antenna. Transmit power out
of the SCCS is typically 10 watts. After splitting, the power is cut in half. The power loss
must be included in the link budget.

7.2.3.2 Single Repeater Installation
In some installations only one repeater will be used due to either ending a stretch of towers
with a donor site or because a higher capacity base station is needed on the next tower.
Figure 26 is a top-down view of a single repeater site. Figure 27 is a block diagram of the
donor and repeater site. This setup assumes that corridor coverage is required. No splitters
are required because the RF lines can be run directly to the PCS antennas.

7.2.3.3 Three Sector Repeater
Figure 28 is a diagram of a three-sector repeater. Implementing this scheme mainly
involves adding another sector’s worth of antennas and LNAs. Even though three sectors
are shown, the same channels are seen by all three sectors. There are not separate channels
for each sector. Even with the added sector, the RF transmit power is still 10 watts per
carrier.

Three Sector Scheme at Donor Site
Figure 29 is a top-down view of the three-sector approach on the donor site. Even though
only the donor site has three sectors, the repeater site could also have three sectors. Figure
30 is a block diagram depicting a three-sector donor site and two-sector repeater site. The
approach in this scheme is to minimize the RF loss from splitting one sector into three
sectors.
This approach splits one sector from the SCCS to two repeaters. Splitting the transmit
power into the Hub reduces the transmit power by 3 dB. This is overcome by having the
capability to adjust the output power of the repeater. A side note from this scheme is that
two repeaters now share the channels from one SCCS sector. To maintain 6-carrier
capability in both repeaters, the SCCS will need 12 radios.

7.2.3.5 Large Radius Coverage
Figure 31 is a unique approach that gives three-sector type coverage without sacrificing any
losses in transmit power. The idea is to locate an SCCS in the middle and to donate the
three sectors to three repeaters. There are no PCS antennas at the donor site.
Figure 32 is a block diagram of the large radius coverage approach. This approach requires
two Hub cabinets because each Hub cabinet can control a maximum of two remote cabinets.
Three sectors are used on each repeater site to optimize coverage. The forward power out of
each of the remote cabinets is 10 watts.
This approach allows for a very large radius of coverage from one SCCS. Figure 33 gives an
idea of what type of coverage can be achieved. The gray area may have degraded coverage.
The limiting factor in this approach would be the sensitivity of the phone. Assuming the
sensitivity of the phone is 6 miles, the radius of coverage from the SCCS would be 12 miles.
This approach would be best for rural areas due to the large radius of coverage, while the
approach in paragraph 7.2.3.1 is best for highway coverage.

neighbor list. Because the TransCell 1900TM system has the ability to significantly change
the RF footprint of its donor base station on a sector by sector basis, the neighbor list of the
donor BTS and of each adjacent BTS (based on RF footprint) will require some tailoring.
For example, in the scenario where a Remote Site is replacing a BTS/SCCS, the
transplanted sector of the donor BTS/SCCS replaces the original BTS/SCCS entry in each
adjacent BTS/SCCS neighbor list. Concurrently, the donor BTS/SCCS neighbor list would
be updated to include these new adjacent BTS/SCCS sectors. Without this modification,
mobile handoff functionality could be degraded or even rendered inoperable. For a quick
cross-check of the Remote Site neighbors, note DCCH channel numbers seen by a mobile as
it is moved out radially from the center of the site. This list should match a network
planning list of DCCH channels and sectors for adjacent BTS/SCCS installations. During
this test, if the call drops due to a low DCCH level in the presence of a large alternate
DCCH level, the neighbor list needs to be updated.

System Installation & Integration Manual
1000462 A
TCPIP/Ethernet Network Layout
During system integration the Transcell 1900 TM system will be configured with
various IP network parameters necessary for OA&M operation. The initialization
and integration of the Transcell 1900 TM System requires the following
information from the customer prior to installation:
•
•
•
Hub and Remote Signal Processing Module (SPM) Network IPAddress assignments
Hub and Remote Signal Processing Module (SPM) Router Configuration (Serial
Interface IP of Router located at switch, one serial port per HRP)
Hub and Remote Site Identification (NOCC/OSS Site Number)
The customer shall provide IP addresses for the configuration of the Transcell
1900 Signal Processing Module (SPM) which will reside on their network. Two
SPMs exist in each HRP, with a maximum of 2 HRPs per SCCS site. The SPM
will provide the Transcell OA&M system capabilities to the operator’s NOCC or
Switch via TCP/IP. For more information regarding the TransCell 1900TM network
layout, see the Transcell 1900TM Sem/HUI User’s Guide.
8.2.1.1 SPM TCP/IP Network Configuration
This procedure must be completed at both the Hub and Remote SPM to allow TCP/IP
connectivity between each SPM in the TransCell 1900TM system and the operator’s Wide
Area Network (WAN).
a. Use a computer to interface to the SPM via Telnet or Console Terminal
b. Login to the SPM at the prompt.
c. Edit the network file located in the /etc directory:

Reboot the SPM by pressing the Reset button on the front panel or type the ‘Reboot’
command at the prompt. The changes will take effect upon re-initialization of the
SPM.
DLM Configuration
The sections below discuss methods of adjusting DLM parameters to reliably achieve a
desirable Bit Error Rate during normal operation of the Data Link.
8.2.2.1 DLM Channel Assignment
The necessity to modify DLM channels is determined by sweeping the 5.8GHz ISM
spectrum for interferers, and selecting channels within the band to avoid any potential
interference. Once this information is determined, the DLM can be configured and the data
link can be brought on-line. The default DLM channels should be adequate for most
installations. However, if it proves to be necessary, the DLM module may be tuned to
several channels within the operating spread spectrum 5.8GHz ISM band using the
following procedure.
a. Login to the local SPM using the HUI software.
b. Type GET HUBDLM FWCHAN at the Hub to ascertain current HUB DLM channel.
Refer to Table 8-2 for the channels corresponding to the vacant target frequency.
Page 33
TRANSCEPT PROPRIETARY - DATA ON THIS PAGE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS CITED ON COVER AND TITLE
TransCell 1900TM
System Installation & Integration Manual
1000462 A
c. If HUB DLM not already tuned to target frequency, type SET HUBDLM
FWCHANNEL XB at Hub, where ‘X’ is the number of the desired channel according
to Table 8-2. By convention, the HUB DLM Forward Channel is always the ‘B’
channel.
d. Repeat steps b and c for the HUB DLM reverse channel.
4 Example: SET HUBDLM RVCHAN YA, where Y is the desired channel. By
convention, the HUB DLM Reverse Channel is always the ‘A’ channel.
e. Repeat steps b and c for the Remote DLM forward channel.
4 Example: SET REMDLM FWCHAN XA, where X is the same forward
channel number as set at the HUB. By convention, the Remote DLM
Forward Channel is always the ‘A’ channel.
f. Repeat steps b and c for the Remote DLM reverse channel.
4 Example: SET REMDLM RVCHAN YB, where Y is the same reverse channel
number as set at the HUB. By convention, the Remote DLM Reverse
Channel is always the ‘B’ channel.
g. Verify DLM lock by typing GET HUBDLM LOCK. A report of ‘1’ means the datalink is locked.

8.2.2.2 DLM Output Power Adjustment
The output power required at the DLM TX/RX port is specified at 27.5 +/- 2.5 dBm. Use the
following procedure to measure and set this output.
a. Using HRP User Interface, get the DLM Forward and Reverse channels for the DLM
under test by typing GET HUBDLM FWCHAN at the HUB or GET REMDLM
RVCHAN at the Remote. For information on how to use the HUI, see TransCell
1900TM SEM / HUI User’s Guide.
b. Using an Agilent E4419B or equivalent power meter, calibrate a high power probe
for the frequency under test (refer to Table 8-2).
c. Connect the power meter to the Enclosure DIN connector corresponding to the active
DLM polarization.
Page 34

d. Using the HRP User Interface (HUI), set the DLM “autosync” off by typing SET
HUBDLM AUTOSYNC 0 at the Hub, or SET REMDLM AUTOSYNC 0 at the
Remote unit.
e. If at the HUB, type SET HUBDLM FWSTATE 1. If at the Remote, type SET
REMDLM RVSTATE 1.
f. Type GET HUBDLM FWATTEN at the Hub or GET REMDLM RVATTEN at the
Remote to get current attenuation values. To set new values, replace “GET” with
“SET” in the preceding commands and adding the new attenuator value at the end of
the line.
4 Example: To set HUBDLM attenuator to 14.5 dBm, type SET HUBDLM
FWATTEN 14.5 at the HUI command prompt.
g. Read power level at power meter. Adjust level until power level falls inside target
window of 27.5 +/- 2.5 dBm by changing the DLM attenuator value via the HUI as
outlined in step f.
h. Once both Hub and Remote DLM outputs are calibrated, set autosync state back to
‘1’ on each DLM. Verify lock by typing GET HUBDLM LOCK. A report of ‘1’ means
the link is locked.
8.2.3
PCS HRP Configuration
The following procedures use the HRP User Interface (HUI) software to configure PCS
parameters within the HRP. For information specific HUI commands and general HUI
operation, see the TransCell 1900TM SEM / HUI User’s Guide.
8.2.3.1 TDMA Channel Assignment
a. Make sure that the connection to the SPM via the Console Terminal is Initiated and
Ping occurs.
b. Use a laptop computer to connect to the SPM via the Ethernet port on the front
panel of the SPM.
c. Ensure the laptop computer is configured for the same network as the SPM address
(customer IP Network).
d. Use the HUI software to set the HTM and RTM PCS band.
4 Example: To select PCS band ‘B’, type SET HTM BAND B and SET RTM
BAND B.
e. Use the HUI software to configure the system TDMA HRP Channel assignments.
4 Ex: set hrp tdmachan n t, where ‘n’ is the HRP assigned carrier # 1
through 6 and ‘t’ is the desired TDMA channel. The HUI will confirm each
channel assignment is set. If the response it not confirmed, refer to the
section on troubleshooting in the TransCell 1900TM Maintenance Manual.
f. If all six carriers are not used, insure that the unused carriers do not interfere by
moving them at least 12 channels away from an occupied TDMA channel.
8.2.3.2 System Gain and Attenuation Settings
1. Make sure that the connection to the SPM via the Console Terminal is
Initiated and Ping occurs.

2. Use a laptop computer to connect to the SPM via the Ethernet port on the front panel
of the SPM.
3. Ensure the laptop computer is configured for the same network as the SPM address
(customer IP Network).
4. Use the HUI software to verify the system forward and reverse gain and attenuation
settings for each TDMA channel match the values shown in Table 8-3. The settings
should be configured (using the ‘set’ command) if there is any mismatch.

Reverse Path Filter Configuration
If the TransCell 1900TM system is being integrated with a Lucent Base Station, then an
alternate set of reverse filters must to be loaded into the HRP to ensure normal operation.
The extra 4 half-symbol delay introduced by Lucent base stations, when coupled with the
TransCell 1900TM delay, can cause call origination problems when the Hub and Remote
are separated by 9 miles or more. The alternate filters trade signal rejection for speed, and
therefore degrade the TransCell 1900TM system’s interference susceptibility as outlined in
note 6 of the Product Specification. Use the following procedure to change the digital
receive filters.
a. Determine the distance between HUB and Remote towers. If less than 9 miles, do
not change the filters.
b. Login to the HRP via the HUI and verify data-link lock.
c. Type SET REMSPM RVFILTER ddcrmt63 and press ENTER.
d. Verify data-link re-locks within ten seconds.
8.2.5 OA&M Interface Configuration
In order to report alarming to the switch and System Element Manager (SEM) via TCP/IP,
the Transcell 1900TM system requires access to the Base Station DSU/CSU installed at
each Donor site and configured with an external V.35 data port interface to the Hub
equipment. This access is typically provided through the operator’s Wide Area Network
(WAN). The general configuration is as follows:
Page 37
TRANSCEPT PROPRIETARY - DATA ON THIS PAGE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS CITED ON COVER AND TITLE
TransCell 1900TM
System Installation & Integration Manual
1000462 A
• V.35 Data Port interface to Fractional T1
• Data Rate is 64 kbps
• Map data port to a single DS0 time slot (typically slot 24)
• DS0 time slot is routed to customer WAN at switch via DAX
• SEM set up as an element of operator’s WAN.
The HRP IP addresses and hostnames must be entered in the SEM’s database to allow
alarm reporting. For this data entry procedure and other SEM setup procedures, see the
TransCell 1900TM SEM / HUI User’s Guide. For information pertaining to regular
maintenance and troubleshooting procedures, see the TransCell 1900TM Maintenance
Manual.
8.3
OPERATIONAL TEST AND VERIFICATION
These procedures are provided in this specific order to enable a smooth and successful
TransCell 1900TM integration into the wireless network. Checklists are provided to
further streamline the verification process and document useful information about the
installation itself for later reference. See Appendix B. See the TansCell 1900TM
Maintenance Manual for information about the test points mentioned in this section. Once
the HRP and support systems are verified by filling in the checklist, the installation process
is complete.
8.3.1 Tower Mounted Amplifier / RF Cable Testing
It is recommended that the Tower Mounted Amplifiers (TMA), used in-line with the PCS
receive antennas, are checked for proper installation prior to connecting the Remote
Enclosure. While the TransCell 1900TM TTAM will indicate a cable short or no-current
condition on power-up (see TransCell 1900TM Maintenance Manual), it is more efficient to
check the RF cables for shorts, opens, and RF loss prior to connecting them to the Remote
Enclosure. The existence of shorts, opens, or losses greater than 4 dB at PCS frequencies
indicates a need for cable replacement.
8.3.2
Data Link Margin Measurement
The test outlined in Table 8-3 verifies the data link margin of the Transcell 1900 TM
system. The data link margin will be measured and compared to the value determined in
the link budget calculation, which is based on tower spacing, tower height, data link
frequency, and antenna gain. The data link margin should range anywhere from 25 dB to a
minimum acceptable tolerance of 12 dB. If a unit fails this test, follow the troubleshooting
procedures outlined in Table 4-3 of the TransCell 1900TM Maintenance Manual for a
HUB_DLM_REVERSE_INPUT_WARNING.

Table 8-4. Data Link Margin Test.
Test Configuration:
HUB
• Connect a laptop computer to the Ethernet port of the SPM module and run the HUI
software. Ensure the data link is locked, and measure the DLM BER in normal
operation. Ideally should be close to 0.00 e ^-11.
BER Test Commands:
get hubdlm lock (DLM lock status; 1 = locked, 0=unlocked)
reset hubdlm bercount (sets the BER accumulator to zero)
get hubdlm beraccum (Reports BER and # of samples)
• Disable the DLM Autosync mode and shut off the DLM Transmitter:
set hubdlm autosync 0 (Autosync = 1, Enabled)
set hubdlm fwstate 0 (FWState = 1, Enabled)
• Disconnect the RF ANT cable from the DLM module that connects to the back of the
Hub enclosure. Install either a variable attenuator or vary the attenuation by
incrementally adding SMA pads. Start with 10 dB of attenuation.
• Re-Enable the DLM Autosync mode:
set hubdlm autosync 1
• Wait for the data link to lock back up, reset the ‘bercount’, and verify the DLM BER is
< 10.00 e^-5 with a sample count greater than 40. Continue to add attenuation and
measure DLM BER until it exceeds the threshold > 10.00 e^-5.
• The data link margin is the amount of attenuation added to the point the DLM BER
threshold of 10.00 e^-5 was exceeded. Note this value on sheet provided in
Appendix B.
Data Point
DLM BER > 10.00 e^-5
Normal Indication
Margin > 12 dB
Abnormal Indication
Margin < 12 dB
8.3.3 HRP Forward/Reverse Path Balancing
The following procedures are used to verify the HRP Forward and Reverse RF paths are fully
functional in preparation for HRP/network tie-in. During normal operation, the automated
functions “Forward Autolevel” and “Reverse Auto-Gain” will negate gradual gain fluctuation
throughout the HRP. Table 8-4 covers Forward path testing, and Table 8-5 covers Reverse
path testing. Sample test data sheets can be found in Appendix B and should be used for data
collection to document system data.

DATA LINK INTERFERENCE
In some service areas, issues may arise with regards to other non-licensed users in the area
interfering with the data link. Depending on the interference source and what access you
have to the other source; interference problems can be solved in the following ways:
♦ If you have a working relationship with the other user of the spread spectrum
unlicensed band, you can work with that user to adjust which channel you both
transmit and receive on.
♦ If you do not have a working relationship with the other user of the spread spectrum
unlicensed band, the interference problem can be solved by:
1) Adjusting the data link channels away from the other user.
2) Using the opposite antenna polarization.

1. INTRODUCTION
This manual is the User’s Guide for the SEM and HUI Subsystems of the TransCell
1900TM System. The manual is organized into the following sections:
Section 1 – General TransCell 1900TM networking information.
Section 2 – Users guide for SEM.
Section 3 – Users guide for HUI.
Section 4 – Installation procedure for the SEM/HUI software.
Section 5 – Operating procedure for the SEM software.
Section 6 – Operating procedure for the HUI software.
Section 7 – Command Line Interface definition
1.1 NOTATION CONVENTIONS
This manual assumes that the user has a basic knowledge of the Windows NT
operating system. Several typographic conventions and standard Windows NT terms
are used in this manual when discussing the HRP user interface software. They are as
follows:
Mouse Commands - The HRP user interface software uses only the left mouse button:
“click” - press and release the left mouse button
“double-click” - press and release left mouse button twice in quick succession
Menu Commands - Menu commands are bolded with each command level separated
from the previous one by a slash (/) mark, e.g., “Select Privileges/Modify Privileges.”
Button Names – Command button names in dialogs are underlined, e.g., “To exit from
dialog, click Close.”
Key Names - Key names are spelled out and appear in small, bold capital letters, e.g.
ENTER, ESCAPE, CONTROL.
Dialogs and Messages - Dialog and message titles are generally referenced exactly as
they are shown on the title bar. However, version numbers appearing in the title bar are
usually not referenced, so a dialog title that actually reads “SEM (Version 1.2)” is
referred to as the SEM dialog.
Dialog Options - Labels for dialog options (text boxes, radio buttons, and drop-down
lists) are shown in italics, e.g., “Select desired IP Address.” All instructions to “select” or
“choose” an option imply clicking on that option (options can be selected via the
keyboard as well).
Keyboard Input - Instructions for keyboard entries start with “Type: ...”, and anything that
should be typed in verbatim is shown in a contrasting font. For example, “Type: set hub
fwdatten 2 12.5 in the HRP Command: text box.”
Displayed Text - Text displayed in a dialog box is shown in another contrasting font, e.g.,
“The HRP Response dialog displays the message CONFIRM: SET HUB FWDATTEN 2
12.5.

1.4 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.4.1 Network Requirements
Figure 1-1 shows a typical configuration for the TransCell 1900TM System.
The System Element Manager (SEM) and Host User Interface (HUI) communicate with a
Hub/Remote Pair (HRP) over the customer’s WAN. The HRPs are connected to a
customer provided CSU/DSU via a V.35 serial connection. The CSU/DSU
communicates over a DS0 slot in a T1 line to another CSU/DSU at the customer’s
switch. The CSU/DSU at the switch is connected to a router over another V.35 serial
connection.
A IP network connection can now be established between the Transcept V.35 Master
SPM in the HRP and the Customer’s Router at the switch. Once this connection has
been established, the SEM can connect to the HRP to monitor its health. Likewise a
HUI located on the customer’s network can connect to the HRP to view or change
system settings. The Router must be programmed to pass traffic for the HRP IPs out of
its V.35 serial port that is connected to the CSU/DSU.

Figure 1-1. Typical TransCell 1900TM System Configuration in a Wireless Network
To operate a Transcept SEM and HUI over a network, the customer must provide the
following items:
•
IP address for SEM (one per switch)
•
Ethernet drop for SEM (to connect to customer’s WAN)
•
POTS line for SEM (allows dial-in access via pcAnywhere)
•
CSU/DSU at Hub site
•
DS0 extraction at SEM site
•
Two IP addresses for each HRP in system (one for each Hub, one for each
Remote)
•
The IP address of the serial interface of the Router at the switch which is
assigned to the HRP
•
Verification of the Circuit Optioning/Conditioning, e.g. 64Kbps throughout ppp
link, external clocking from DSU/CSU to SPM, etc.
•
The cable that connects the CSU/DSU at the Cell Site to the Transcept Hub
25-pin D female connector (See Table-1 below). Note: This connector pinout
matches the ADC Kentrox DataSMART T1 25-pin D. If this type of
CSU/DSU is used a “straight-through” 25 pin D male-to- male cable will work.

Figure 1-2. HRP Intercommunications
The Cell 1 Hub contains the V.35 interface and acts as the gateway into the customer’s
network for all other HRPs in the node. All Hubs communicate with their Remotes via
Point-to-Point protocol (PPP) across the microwave datalink. The Cell 2 and Cell 3 Hub
communicate with the Cell 1 Hub via PPP across a serial CAT5 cable.
The customer supplied IP addresses for the HRP SPMs must be entered into the
network configuration file in each respective SPM. In addition, the IP address of the
serail port of the router at the switch must be entered into the network configuration file
of the Cell 1 Hub SPM. Once configured, the SPMs will automatically setup the network
routing for SEM and HUI access each time they are powered up or reset.
1.4.3 HRP Hostname
Each HRP has two hostnames, one for the HUB and one for the REMOTE. The SPM
hostname is used by system software to create valid routing tables throughout the
TransCell 1900TM system. See the following for an example:
m.h.c1.node1.6cmr.id0.customer.com
This hostname contains several fields which pinpoint its corresponding SPM within the
Transcell 1900TM system as follows:

4. SEM/HUI INSTALLATION
Both applications are installed in the computer designated as the SEM workstation. The
HUI software may be installed in any other suitably configured Windows NT computer as
well. The following procedures are provided for performing common tasks with respect to
SEM/HUI software.
CAUTION
Use the SEM application on the SEM workstation only .
Simultaneous use of the SEM application by two or more
computers connected to the same TDMA network will cause
these applications to constantly contend for control and thereby
render the alarm monitoring function inoperative.
4.1 JAVA RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT (JRE) INSTALLATION
Both the SEM and HUI applications are written in Java. In order for these applications to
run, they require that Sun Microsystems’ Java Runtime Environment (JRE) software be
loaded. The JRE is preloaded on the SEM workstation. Instructions are provided here
in case the software should become corrupted, or if a JRE software upgrade should
become necessary.
a. Insert the CD-ROM provided by Transcept labeled “Java Runtime Environment” into
the CD-ROM drive.
b. Using NT explorer, click on the file jre1_2_2-001-win.exe.
c. An installation program will guide you through the installation process.
d. Accept the license agreement.
e. Accept the default destination folder: C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.2.
f.
The JRE will install and the installation program will exit automatically upon
installation completion.
4.2 HUI SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The HUI software is installed as follows:
•
Insert the floppy labeled “HRP User Interface (HUI)” into A:\ drive. The floppy
contains a self-extracting archive file that will auto-extract the files into the correct
directory structure.
•
Using NT explorer, select the A:\ drive and double click on the .exe file. Accept the
default directory structure.
•
Click on the Unzip button. After the unzip process is complete two directories should
have been created: config and dev_hui. Click on the Close button.

4.3 SEM SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
4.3.1 SEM Application Software Installation
The SEM software is provided by Transcept on a CD-ROM. If this is a first time install,
you will have to set the CLASSPATH variables in order to run the class files.
•
Setting the CLASSPATH variables
•
To set the CLASSPATH, right click on MyComputer.
•
Choose properties from the pulldown.
•
Click on the Environment tab.
•
Type: CLASSPATH in the Variable text field.
•
In the Value text field type: .;c:\dev\mysql.jar;%CLASSPATH%. The
CLASSPATH lets the computer know where to look for java files associated with
the program that is running. In this instance we are telling it to look under
c:\dev\mysql.jar. It is VERY important that the classpath be typed correctly. It
puts the starting directory in the classpath.
•
Click the Set button then click OK.
•
Insert the CD-ROM labeled “SYSTEM ELEMENT MANAGER” into the CD-ROM
drive.
•
Using NT Explorer, select the CD-ROM drive. There should be a folder labeled dev
on the CD.
•
Click and drag the folder labeled dev from the CD-ROM onto the [C:]
•
If this a new install, you will need to create shortcuts pointing to the following batch
files: C:\dev\SEM.bat, C:\dev\Watchdog.bat, and C:\dev\DatabaseBackup.bat.
•
If this a new install, you will also need to put the c:\dev directory on the SEM
workstation’s path. To do this you must have administrator privileges. Right click on
My Computer and select Properties. Select the environment tab. In the System
Variables area find and select path. In the Value box hit the right arrow key to go to
the end of the line. Then type: ;c:\dev and hit the Set button. Then hit the Apply
button followed by the OK button.
4.3.2 SEM Database Software Installation
The SEM software uses a MySQL database to store and process alarm data. Therefore
the MySQL database must be installed prior to using the SEM.
The SEM workstation comes ready with the database installed. If for some reason you
need to reinstall the database follow the instructions below.
•
Insert the CD-ROM labeled “MYSQL DATABASE” into the CD-ROM drive.
•
Using NT Explorer, select the CD-ROM drive.
•
Double click on the MySQLselfExtract.exe file. The contents will be put into
D:\programs\mysql\bin by default if you choose not to specify a different drive. Select
the disk drive that has the most free space on it. Click on the Unzip button.
•
Click on the Close button.

•
Select the disk that you had the files unzipped to. Navigate to the
\programs\mysql\bin directory.
•
Click on Setup.exe to install the database.
•
An installer window will open up to guide you through the MySQL installation.
•
Click Next for the first two windows. On the window titled “Choose Destination
Location” c:\mysql will be the path already in the box. Do not accept this default.
•
Click on the button labeled Browse.
•
At the bottom of the display there is a pull-down menu labeled drives:. Click on it
and select the drive that has the most free space. The letter drive you selected will
appear in the path text area above.
•
After the letter drive you chose, type: mysql. It should read as :\mysql
•
Press OK and click Next.
•
Choose a typical installation. Now press OK.
4.3.3 SEM Database Setup
There are a few simple steps to follow when setting up the database. Special care
needs to be taken to type SQL statements exactly as seen in the steps to follow. SQL is
case sensitive when it comes to database and table names.
•
Open up a command window by clicking on the start menu and selecting the option
labeled Run. Type cmd in the text field and press enter.
•
To get to the proper root directory (the directory where you chose to install MySQL)
type : where letter would be the letter of the drive where MySQL is installed.
•
Now specify the path by typing: cd \mysql\bin
•
At the prompt type: mysql–nt –install
•
Next type: net start mysql
•
For initial login to the database simply type: mysql –u root at the prompt.
•
Note: Later you will login differently by typing something like the following at the
prompt: mysql --user=semuser --password=passwordHere
•
Once you have the prompt that looks like mysql> type: use mysql
•
Typing the above statement will give the root user access to the mysql database.
There is no password for the root user initially.
Setting a Password For the Root User
Once you are logged into MySQL you can perform various tasks among which is
changing passwords. Primarily you may want to set a password for the ‘root’
user. The syntax for doing this follows:
mysql> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD(‘new_password’) WHERE
user=’root’;
If you do not change the password promptly, there is a risk of non-authorized
access to the database.

SEM/HUI User’s Guide
Document No. 1000483 A
User Levels in MySQL Explained
There are mainly two user levels in MySQL: administrator and user. If you log
on as root you are using the administrator level. As an administrator you can
create new users and give those users certain restricted privileges. As an
administrator you can also give a user administrative privileges. Generally you
do not want to give a user administrative privileges because they could
inadvertently delete tables or the entire database.
For the SEM operations, the only privileges you need be concerned about are
update, delete, insert and select. These are the privileges that should be given
to any new users you allocate. You may want to GRANT all privileges to a user if
that user is going to be you. Doing such is unnecessary but you may wish to log
in under a username you more commonly use instead of ‘root’. The syntax for
granting all privileges to a user is:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ‘some username here’ IDENTIFIED BY
‘some_password’ WITH GRANT OPTION;
Giving Database Privileges to the New User
The privileges that we are going to give are the only privileges necessary for the
semuser to get all of the desired information from the database
Type: GRANT update,delete,insert,select ON *.* TO semuser@”%” identified by
‘livefreeordie’;
Type: GRANT update,delete,insert,select ON *.* TO semuser@localhost
identified by ‘livefreeordie’;
Type the above statements exactly. Make sure to include the single quotes
around the password livefreeordie. Once you have done this you have created a
valid user for the database.
Creating the SEMDB
At the mysql> prompt type: CREATE database SEMDB;
You have now created the SEM database shell. Remember that if you want to
access the SEMDB you must type the database name in all capitals just as you
created it.
In order to access any information in the newly created database type: use
SEMDB
Creating and Initializing the Tables
A script file has been previously written and is stored on the SEM machine d:
drive.
At the mysql> prompt type: \. :\sqlscripts\mainsqlscript.sql
To verify that the tables were created type: show tables;
You should see a list of eight tables that were created from the script file.
To verify that the tables were initialized type: select * from systemcontrol; You
should see some values. This indicates that the tables were initialized from the
Page 21
TRANSCEPT PROPRIETARY - DATA ON THIS PAGE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS CITED ON COVER AND TITLE
TransCell 1900TM
SEM/HUI User’s Guide
Document No. 1000483 A
sql Script file. A separate script file exists for all of the tables if you wish to
recreate only one or two of the tables.
Everything should be set up properly at this point. To exit from the database
type: quit at the prompt.
Repairing Corrupted Database
If for some reason the database has been corrupted there are a four procedural
steps to follow in order to restore it to full operational status:
•
Restore systemcontrol table in SEMDB.
•
Reset dbinsertion
•
Drop openalarm and closedalarm tables from the database.
•
Recreate the openalarm and closedalarm tables.
The easiest way to perform all of these tasks is to “drop” the four tables
mentioned above and then run the script file that was used to create the tables:
•
Login to MySQL using the root user and password. (See Section 3.3.2)
•
At the mysql prompt type: use SEMDB
•
To drop the tables type: drop table openalarm, closedalarm, dbinsertion,
systemcontrol;
Note:
Do not drop the dbinsertion table without dropping the openalarms
and closedalarms tables first.
•
Type: show tables; to verify that the tables have been dropped.
•
In order to restore the tables, type: \. :\sqlscripts\mainsqlscript.sql
The tables that were dropped should be restored and the database should be
repaired.
Manually Resetting closedalarm, openalarm and dbinsertion Tables
The process for resetting the tables is the same as described in previously.
4.3.4 Autologin of SEM software
The SEM workstation should be set up so that the SEM software loads automatically
upon power up. No login GUI will appear. Login as SEMUser will happen automatically.
This is done through the Microsoft applications TweakUI and AutoExNT. Autologin
setup instructions are provided here in case the hard disk has crashed or has become
corrupted. You will need administrator privileges to do this installation.
Obtaining and Installing TweakUI and AutoExNT

Log off of the current session as explained in the section above. When the system
tries to login as SEMUser it will fail because the password has changed. You may
now select a different Login name and password, or type in the new password, test,
to login as SEM User.
When you have finished your task requiring the different login name, be sure to log back
in as SEMUser and change the password back to semuser so that if power is lost, the
SEM workstation will autologin and bring back the SEM software. NOTE: To
permanently disable autologin you must log in as Administrator and disable the autologin
service from the Control Panel Services. There should be no need to do this.

5. SEM OPERATION
5.1 SEM
5.1.1 Launching SEM Software
The SEM software should have launched automatically at startup. The SEM software
consists of the SEM GUI application and a Watchdog timer application. The Watchdog
timer converses with the SEM application to ensure that the SEM application is
operational. If the SEM application should crash, the Watchdog application will reboot the
SEM workstation.
Both of these applications should have launched at startup. If autologin has been
disabled, or if you have closed the SEM software and wish to reopen it, double-click on
the SEM icon on the desktop to launch the SEM application. Then double-click on the
Watchdog icon on the desktop to launch the Watchdog timer application.
Once the SEM software is operating the user should enter the IP addresses and specific
node information for each HRP in the network (see section 2.2.2). Once the HRPs have
been entered, the SEM software will automatically contact each HRP and log alarm
information as necessary. Most alarms are closed automatically when the cause has
been corrected. There are some User-closeable alarms. See the OAM manual for alarm
descriptions.
5.1.2 Closing SEM Software
The SEM application has a 24/7 runtime and should be shut down only for administrative
maintenance. To initiate the SEM software shutdown routine, select EXIT in the FILE pulldown menu at the upper left corner of the SEM application window. The EXIT command
will disable the SEM hardware watchdog timer and close the SEM workstation software
without generating a SEM Unsolicited Reset Alarm.
CAUTION
Failure to exit the SEM workstation software properly may result
in problems with software the next time the software is
initialized.
5.1.3 Remote Access of the SEM
The SEM workstation is supplied with Symantec’s pcAnywhere software to provide a
means to access the SEM remotely. The workstation must be connected to a POTS line
to provide dial in access.
5.1.4 Setting up the SEM workstation as a Host
Before a remote SEM session can be established, the SEM workstation must be
configured to accept the call over its 56K modem. To do this you must first add the host
session then set up new caller parameters.
5.1.4.1 Adding a Host Session
a. Click on the Symantec pcAnywhere icon, or select Start/Programs/Symantec
pcAnywhere.

6.1.5 Portable Computer IP Address Change Procedure (For Local HUI Use)
To log into the Hub or Remote SPM at the local cell site, it is necessary to set the IP
address in the TCP/IP setup file on the laptop computer being used as the HUI. (The
computer must also have the HUI software installed.)
Note: If operating a HUI non-locally, i.e. on the customer’s network, DO NOT follow
these steps.
6.1.5.1 Setting Computer TCP/IP Configuration
The computer’s new IP address must be set to be in the same subnet as the SPM’s IP
address. The IP address to be used via the SPM’s ethernet port can be obtained from
the network file located in the /etc directory of the SPM’s filesystem.
To obtain this IP address from the SPM.
•
connect the laptop’s COM1 serial port to the SPM’s console port.
•
Open the Hyperterminal application direct on COM1.
•
Setup the COM1 port for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (9600-8-N-1).
•
Hit the “Enter” key to obtain a login prompt.
•
Login to the SPM with login: user and password: maintain
•
At the # prompt enter cat /etc/network.
•
Check the display for the address next to ETH_IP=. Record this IP address as it will
be what you use to communicate with this SPM.
•
In Hyperterminal type exit to logout of the SPM.
You must now set your laptop to be in the same subnet as the SPM. Before changing IP
parameters on your laptop computer, record ALL settings that are to be changed. These
parameters may need to be re-entered after the SPM has been re-configured. Perform
the following steps to log into a SPM:

7. COMMAND LINE INTERFACE (CLI)
The HRP User Interface software provides a command line interface for the user’s
computer to communicate with any Hub or Remote Subsystem on the user’s network.
Network communications with the HRPs are via a V.35 interface built into the SPM at the
Hub. Portable computers at the tower site may communicate locally with a Hub or
Remote SPM via the SPM’s built-in ethernet interface.
7.1 HRP COMMAND LANGUAGE OVERVIEW
This section describes the Command Line Interface (CLI) protocol which is used to
interface to the SPM software in the TransCell® 1900TM system. The protocol is ASCII
based, with text messages transmitted to and from the SPM via TCP/IP. The CLI
protocol is designed to allow for an orderly flow of information that is easier to
understand when typing commands and when writing code to support the protocol.
This protocol has the following features:
•
•
•
•
The delimiter between all fields is a space. This makes it easier to type commands at
a prompt and also conforms to the Microsoft® Excel standard for reading tablebased text files into a spreadsheet, which will be useful when evaluating message
traffic logs.
Any number of tabs or spaces may be used to delimit the fields in the message.
A conscious effort has been made to eliminate the use of underscores ("_") in the
field names of messages, since these characters can be cumbersome to type.
The text-based fields of the message are case-insensitive.
NOTE
In the following HRP Command Language message
descriptions, the square brackets used to delineate each
field are not part of the actual message format.
Field Types
The following are the field types used in the messages. Keep in mind that not all
messages use all of the fields. The specifics of a given message is dictated by the
message type, the device, and the parameter of the message:
HEADER
The HUI application prefixes a header field to all messages sent to the
SPM for the purpose of synchronizing messages. This HEADER field
is designated by a '$' before and after the header value. The SPM
prefixes the same HEADER to the response message. The HEADER
field is not echoed to any of the user displays.
RESPONSE
This field indicates the type of response to an input message. The
allowable types in this field are "REPORT", "CONFIRM" and "NACK".
All negative responses will be in the form of a “NACK”, requests for
information will be responded to with a “REPORT”, and successful
sets/resets/commands will be responded to with a “CONFIRM”.
TYPE
This field indicates the intent of a request message. The following are
the allowable message types: "SET", "GET", "RESET", "LOGIN",
"LOGOUT", “WRITE”, and “CLOSE” (for alarms).
Page 41
TRANSCEPT PROPRIETARY - DATA ON THIS PAGE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS CITED ON COVER AND TITLE
TransCell 1900TM
DEVICE
SEM/HUI User’s Guide
Document No. 1000483 A
This field indicates the device (one only per message) that affects or
is affected by this message. The only allowable device names are:
“HRP" (Hub-Remote-Pair)
"HUBDLM" (Hub-side Datalink Module)
“HUBSPM" (Hub-side SPM)
"REMDLM" (Remote-side DLM)
"REMSPM" (Remote-side SPM)
"HTM" (Hub Transceiver Module)
"LOCALSPM" ("this" side SPM)
"RTM" (Remote Transceiver Module)
"OTHERSPM" ("that" side SPM)
“PA” (Power Amplifier)
“HUBLVPS” (Hub Low Volt Power Supply)
“AUTOLEVEL”
“REMLVPS” (Remote Low Volt Power Supply)
“TTA” (Tower Top Amplifier)
“PSUPPLY” (Power Supply)
NOTE: “This” side refers to the SPM to which the user is locally connected and “that” side
refers to the SPM that “this” side communicates to across the datalink.
PARAM
This field indicates the parameter that is requested or transmitted in a
given message. The use of this field is completely dependent on the
device type. See the individual message type descriptions for valid
parameter names.
CARRIER
This field indicates the carrier that is requested in a message. For
example, in a six-carrier system configuration, the only valid carrier
values will be 1 through 6. Not all commands/messages use this field;
it depends on the device/parameter that is being controlled.
VALUE
This field indicates the value of the parameter for a given message.
The use of this field is dependent on the message type, and possibly
the parameter type. See the individual message type descriptions for
valid value ranges.
ERROR
This field provides the error codes that can be given in the NACK
message.
EOM
This is the end of message character, which for the HRP User
Interface (HUI) is the sequence "\r\n". The EOM field is not echoed to
any of the user displays.
7.2 COMMANDS
7.2.1 SET Message
The SET message is used to set the following parameters within an HRP:
•
PCS Channel – Settable at HRP, Hub or Remote level
•
Data Link Channel – forward or reverse, settable at HRP, Hub or Remote level
•
Alarm Enable States – settable at HRP level only

7.2.4 LOGIN Message
This message is used to allow the user to log in to the HUI. The software design requires
that a user be logged in before being allowed to monitor and control the system. (The
only exception to this is the use of certain “GET LOCALSPM” type messages). The user
will enter a password in the [VALUE] field. The LOGIN request will take on the following
form:
•
[HEADER]
•
"LOGIN"
•
"LOCALSPM"
•
[VALUE]
•
[EOM]
The VALUE field will contain the password, which will be hard-coded in the SPM, some
alphanumeric string of 6 to 8 characters. There are currently two passwords allowed:
one which allows for “read-only” access and one which allows for “read-write” access.
The response to this message by the SPM will contain the request message with either
a "CONFIRM" or "NACK" field being inserted as the first field. In the case of the
message being NACKed, the [ERROR] field will contain the error code(s) explaining why
the message could not be processed. The following is the response template:
If command successful:
[HEADER] CONFIRM: [ECHO OF REQUEST MESSAGE]
If command unsuccessful:
[HEADER] NACK LOGIN: [ERROR]
7.2.5 LOGOUT Message
This message is used to log-out of the HRP. This command allows the SPM software to
reset the communications port and configure it to listen for a new LOGIN message. The
form of this message will be as follows:
•
[HEADER]
•
"LOGOUT"
•
"LOCALSPM"
•
[EOM]
The response to this message by the SPM will contain the request message with either
a "CONFIRM" or "NACK" field being inserted as the first field. In the case of the
message being NACKed, the [ERROR] field will contain the error code(s) explaining why
the message could not be processed. The following is the response template:
If command successful:
[HEADER] CONFIRM: [ECHO OF REQUEST MESSAGE]
If command unsuccessful:
[HEADER] NACK LOGOUT: [ERROR]
7.2.6 CLOSE Message
This message is used to allow the closing of alarms designated as “user-closeable”. The
form of this message is as follows, where the [VALUE] field contains the alarm ID and
the [MISC] field contains the fault ID:
•

7.2.7 WRITE Message
This message is used to write the logs that are stored in SPM RAM out to SPM flash. It
is not desirable to do this on a persistent basis, as the flash units can only handle a
limited amount of writes. The form of this message is as follows, where the [VALUE] field
contains the alarm ID:
•
[HEADER]
•
"WRITE"
•
"LOCALSPM"
•
[PARAM]
•
[EOM]
Currently, the only allowed parameter is “CMDLOG”, which is a log that stores all
messages sent from/to the HUI to/from the Executive software in the SPM.
The response to this message by the SPM will contain the request message with either
a "CONFIRM" or "NACK" field being inserted as the first field. In the case of the
message being NACKed, the [ERROR] field will contain the error code(s) explaining why
the message could not be processed. The following is the response template:
