LINKnet™ ! USER MANUAL DCM000000008 Printed: 00.03.22,09:08 Revision Date:3/22/00 3 Congratulations on your purchase of the LINKnet™ platform. Successful operation of the LINKnet™ in any installation depends upon sound system design. Service personnel should be aware that most problems experienced with LINKnet™ systems are due to failures or inadequacies in equipment outside the LINKnet™ platform. This manual pertains to the LINKnet™ Platform. It describes how the user should install, set-up and use the LINKnet™ Card-cage, Power Supply Module, and Plug in RF and Controller modules, for proper operation and safety. The scope of this manual is generally limited to the LINKnet™ circuitry itself; no attempt is made to thoroughly discuss all aspects of system or applications design. KAVAL TELECOM INC. would be pleased to discuss the engineering aspects of LINKnet™ installations and can undertake overall LINKnet™ system design and installation. The LINKnet™ encompasses the functionality of most of KAVAL TELECOM INC.’s current electronic product line. All OFR and BDA products are harmonized into a single modular and adaptable system. The intention is to incorporate the functionality of most or all of KAVAL TELECOM INC.’s product line into a single modular family. Newer technology allows implementation of additional features such as Digital Control, Self-alignment, and Extensive Diagnostics, which make the modules in this new generation of products more capable than their predecessors. The product is made up of at least one Card-cage, RF Modules, and a Power Supply. The Modules in the Card-cage interconnect via a back plane that supplies power and digital control signals. A single Card-cage can be mounted into a 6 unit standard EIA 19 inch rack, with multiple Card-cages interconnected using a Card-cage Interconnect Harness. An optional Control Module may be used to program and monitor the independent RF Modules. By daisy chaining Card-cages together, a single control module can be used to run up to 110 RF Modules in a single, integrated, system. 2. INTRODUCTION Document Scope What Is The LINKnet™ Platform?
LINKnet™ ! USER MANUAL DCM000000008 Printed: 00.03.22,09:08 Revision Date:3/22/00 4 SPECIFICATION VALUE Basic Construction 19” Rack based Card-Cages Card-Cage Features Each Card-Cage may contain up to 7 RF Modules without a Controller Module, or up to 5 RF Modules with a Controller Module. Modules inserted into the Card-Cage are auto-identified as to type, and which card slot they are in. Card-cages are identified by a rear-panel switch setting (0-15). Card-Cage Connections DB-15 Connector provides for extra Card-Cages to be cascaded via an Expansion cable. The connector also provides a common Fault Relay. Size Standard 19” Rack Mount, 6U (10.5”) High, 14.00” Deep Weight TBD The LINKnet™ Model OFR1000 card-cage is a standard 19-inch rack mounted box, 6U high (10.5”), and 14” deep. The unit comes with a Power Supply Module (PS400A), and will hold up to 7 modules. All modules slide in on pre-installed tracks, and their faceplates together with the front flange form the front cover when the system is assembled. OFR000 Spacer (blank) modules must be used to fill un-used module slots. The surrounding flange completes the unit while protecting the mounting screws, allowing for an air grill, and covering any sharp edges. Front view of a card-cage showing from left to right: Four spacer modules, a RF module, one spacer module, another RF module and a power supply module. 3.

LINKnet™ ! USER MANUAL DCM000000008 Printed: 00.03.22,09:08 Revision Date:3/22/00 6 In installations where one or more module slots are not used, OFR000 Spacer Modules will be installed in the un-used slots. These modules close the front panel and ensure the proper flow of air around the heat sinks. Should additional modules be required at some future date, the spacer module(s) may be removed and the new module placed into the open space. The power inside the card-cage is limited to low voltage. The spacer module is not intended as an electrical safety feature. It is recommended that spacer modules remain installed while the system is operational, and that the preventative maintenance outlined in the maintenance section of this manual be followed. The LINKnet™ card-cage requires little or no maintenance once it is assembled. During routine inspection of the system, it is recommended that excessive dust be removed, especially from all fans, filters, and cooling fins. It is also recommended that all external cables be inspected for damage. OFR000 Spacer Module Card-Cage Maintenance

LINKnet™ ! USER MANUAL DCM000000008 Printed: 00.03.22,09:08 Revision Date:3/22/00 10 Battery Requirements: • One 24V Battery is required for each Card-cage (usually consisting of two 12V batteries). • The battery must be a Sealed Lead Acid type (often called Gel Cell). • Batteries must be installed in a ventilated area in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. • If a longer cable assembly is required, contact the KAVAL TELECOM INC. factory by E-mail: info@kaval.com. • For battery capacity in Amp Hours (A-H) see section “Battery Sizing” below. • For charging time for batteries, in hours, see chart below. • If batteries are stored (not connected to the system) they should not be left in a low state (discharged) for more than a few days, or they will permanently lose capacity, and no longer be able to run the system. • If it is desired to be able to recharge the batteries at a rate faster than is inherent in the power supplies internal system, then it is possible to use an external charger. Consult the KAVAL TELECOM INC. factory for details at E-mail: info@kaval.com Battery Sizing The size or capacity of the external lead acid batteries is dependent on two variables: The number of modules installed in the Card-cage and the desired back up period in hours. The relationship is defined by the following equation: 15...)3215( ++++×=pppTC Where: C IS The required battery capacity in Amp Hours (A-H) Note: the calculation is for each of the two 12V batteries required to make up the 24V requirement T IS The desired back up period in hours Px IS The power consumption in watts for each plug in module in the Card-cage, (Not counting the Power Supply Module) Example of calculating the battery capacity: To find the capacity in Amp Hours (C) for a system with three OFR800 modules, where a 3-Hour reserve (T) is required. Let: T = 3 hours Px = 45 watts (the power requirements of the OFR800 Module from its spec sheet) Therefore the required battery capacity in A-H would be:

LINKnet™ ! USER MANUAL DCM000000008 Printed: 00.03.22,09:08 Revision Date:3/22/00 12 Battery Charge Time The time required to charge the batteries using the internal battery charger, is dependant on the capacity (C) of the battery connected to the system. To calculate the Recharge time in hours (T), multiply 1.2 times the Amp Hour Capacity (C): CT ×= 2.1 Example of calculating the recharge time: The time required charging the batteries in the example system above, Where: C = 28 AH From the above example Therefore: the required time to recharge the batteries in hours would be: CT ×= 2.1 282.1 ×=T 6.33=T Hours It would take 33.6 hours (33 hours and 36 minutes) to recharge a system that had three OFR800 modules, and required a 3-hour battery power reserve. Battery Maintenance In order to ensure the proper functioning of your LINKnet™ system, it is very important to follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for routine and preventative maintenance. KAVAL TELECOM INC. recommends that all sealed lead acid batteries be replaced at least once every 5 years.
LINKnet™ ! USER MANUAL DCM000000008 Printed: 00.03.22,09:08 Revision Date:3/22/00 13 Install the LINKnet™ card-cage into an EIA 19” rack using 4 screws. Ensure that no cables or other equipment rests on top of the LINKnet™ and places an excessive downward force on the rear of the unit. The RF Antenna connections are designed for the specific RF unit. They may be different for each RF module, so they are described in the chapter specific to each RF module. These instructions must be followed precisely in order to ensure the safe functioning of the radio transmitter. Ensure that airflow around the rear panel heat sink is unobstructed. In high duty cycle installations, it is recommended that one rack unit of clear space be left both above and below the LINKnet™. If several units are installed in the same rack, an external fan blowing air past the heat sinks is recommended. The LINKnet™ is intended for indoor use only, in an environment suitable for electronic equipment. Do not expose to excess humidity Slide the power supply module into the right hand slot of the LINKnet™ rack. Make sure that the Module is aligned with the guide tracks on the Card-cage, and sliding in straight. The edge connector at the rear of the module must be seated securely and evenly. Tighten the retaining screws to secure the module, and connect the AC power to the appropriate connector in the upper left of the Card-cage back plane. ALERT: Do not force the module into position. It should slide in with little or no force. If the module resists, remove it and inspect the slides and the connectors. If still unable to insert the module contact KAVAL TELECOM INC. 6.

(See section on sizing Batteries) Slide the modules into any of the vacant card-cage slots. Make sure that the module is aligned with both of the upper and lower guide tracks on the card-cage, and that the module is sliding in straight. The edge connector and the antenna connectors at the rear of the module must be seated securely and evenly. Tighten the retaining screws to secure the module. The Module is now ready for testing. (See Power On Self-Test) It is not necessary to power down the system to insert or remove RF modules, as each module is designed with “Hot Swap” capabilities. Do not force the module into position. It should slide in with little or no force. If the module resists, remove it and inspect the slides and the connectors. If still unable to insert the module contact KAVAL TELECOM INC. Additional Modules Additional modules may be added to the LINKnet™ card-cage at any time. It is not necessary to power down the system to insert or remove modules. Additional LINKnet™ card-cages RF Modules Expanding the System
LINKnet™ ! USER MANUAL DCM000000008 Printed: 00.03.22,09:08 Revision Date:3/22/00 16 Additional card-cages can be cascaded or “Daisy Chained” together with a Kaval Model # CAB000000056 Expansion cable. Up to 15 cables can be used to connect up to 16 LINKnet™ card-cages. The nominal maximum cable length is 150 feet but, under certain conditions, a longer span may be possible, contact KAVAL TELECOM INC. for assistance. If 16 LINKnet™ card-cages are connected together the total system capacity is 110 RF modules without the optional Controller Module. A separate power supply module (PS400A) and battery reserve (if desired) must be installed for each card-cage as well. Only one (optional) Controller Module per system is necessary. Card-cage ID number Each enclosure must have a unique Card-cage ID number; set by the rotary switch located on the lower left hand side of the back plane. If the system has only one card-cage this switch can be left at the default setting (zero). Group Termination The first and last LINKnet™ card-cages must have the termination switch set to ON. The switch is located in the lower left hand side of the back plane. If the system has only one or two card-cages the switch can be left at the default setting (ON). Pins 2 & 3 of the DB15 “Control Port connector & Expansion cable connector” connect to a dry, normally open, relay contact rated for 1 Amp at 28 Vdc. The contacts will close if any of the modules in any of the LINKnet™ card-cages fault, and will remain closed until the fault is corrected. Because the LINKnet™ Expansion cable uses the same connector, this signal must be taken from the un-used connector on either the first or last panel. External fault indication
LINKnet™ ! USER MANUAL DCM000000008 Printed: 00.03.22,09:08 Revision Date:3/22/00 17 Battery connection Installing the software Each RF module has a number of built in changeable parameters that may be changed in the field directly by using the optional Controller Module. If the Controller Module is not used, then these parameters may be changed by running custom software on an external PC running Windows 95/98/NT, connected through the CONTROL PORT CONNECTOR for each module, on the rear of the LINKnet™ card-cage. The software will be shipped on a disk, (optionally, it may be delivered electronically over the internet), with its own install program. From the Windows START button’s RUN Menu, Use the BROWSE button to find the SETUP program on the disk, and follow the on screen instructions. When set-up is complete, there will be a KAVAL TELECOM INC. icon on the desktop. Cable connections The rear of the LINKnet™ card-cage has a CONTROL PORT CONNECTOR for each of the plug-in module bays. In order to change the parameters of a specific card, the CONTROL PORT CONNECTOR for that card must be located. The optional KAVAL TELECOM INC. # CAB000000057 cable will connect the desired female DB15 CONTROL connector with the RS-232 Serial Port on the PC. CONTROL connectors are NOT DIRECTLY RS-232 compatible. Use only KAVAL TELECOM INC. supplied cables to connect with them. Using standard RS232 adapters may cause damage to the module or PC.
