For each channel, enter the frequency into the R2660 and verify that the SQE,
frequency error, and power level are all within specifications.
14. Repeat steps 7 through 13 as needed for each sector.
15. Review the Active Alarm Manager for any un-cleared alarms.
Refer to the section (System Manager Alarms) for more information.
2.3 Management—Datafill, Configuration and Optimization
This section describes configuration techniques that affect the behavior of the MCSeries OPM system. The Datafill section covers the datafill parameters as they differ
from the Motorola EBTS. Section System Manager, Configuration, and Optimization
covers configuration options using System Manager, with sections Navigating
System Manager and Configuring the MC-Series OPM System introducing basic
operations and Optimization Procedures presenting optimization procedures.
The MC-Series OPM system is designed for compatibility with the Motorola EBRC
and QUAD Base Radios (BRs). However, due to architecture differences between
the two systems, not all datafill parameters apply equally to the MC-Series OPM
system.
2.3.1 Datafill
This section describes only those datafill parameters that need to be taken into
consideration when used with the MC-Series OPM system. Any datafill parameter
not described here can be assumed to behave identically to the Motorola EBTS.
This section includes:
•
2.3.2 (Parameters that Do Not Apply to the MC-Series OPM System)
Parameters that have no effect on the MC-Series OPM system
•
2.3.3 (Recommended Datafill Parameters) Parameters that RadioFrame
Networks supports, but which need to be setup differently from the typical
setup for a Motorola BR
2.3.2 Parameters that Do Not Apply to the MC-Series OPM System
The following parameters have no effect on the MC-Series OPM system. There is
no functional equivalent in the MC-Series OPM system, and as such the
parameters can be ignored.

combinerType
This parameter specifies the type of combiner used to connect the cells Base
Radios to the antenna. The options are hybrid and cavity. The MC-Series OPM
system is similar to a cavity type combiner physically but it does not have the
same frequency limitations as the cavity combiner that this parameter is used
for.
2.3.3 Recommended Datafill Parameters
The following parameters need to be set differently than what is currently set with
Motorola BR. These settings are not required but recommended for best
operation.
A.
PCC
The power control constant is broadcast on the BCCH and is used by the MS
to calculate a target value for its transmit power. For Indoor Pico and Micro-Cell
applications this value will vary depending upon the RF environment (i.e., if
used outdoors the value will be quite different from an indoor scenario). For the
MC-Series OPM system, the setting of this parameter depends on what is
connected between the MC-Series OPM system and the antenna. The default
value should be calculated in accordance with Motorola guidance detailed in
the Datafill Parameter Guide. Lowering this parameter forces the mobile to
operate at fairly low Tx level thus conserving battery life. In cases where the
MC-Series OPM system is connected to a DAS, the gains and losses of the
paths should be taken into consideration. Additionally the level of uplink
interference should be considered when determining this value.
B.
Pto (transmit power)
The Cells outbound transmit power referenced at the output of the RF
Distribution System Antenna Port. It is used as a reference point value when
computing the link budget of the system. RadioFrame Networks recommends
that the value of this parameter be set appropriate to the TOR output power,
which is determined by the defaultTxPower parameter (see below).
2.3.4 rxTxGain = 0
This parameter is the difference in gain between the receiver and transmit
antenna paths expressed in dB. The MC-Series OPM system does not use this
parameter directly.
2.3.5 defaultTxPower
Note: Refer to release notes for the proper range
information.
This is the average output power of the PA, measured at the RF connector of the
BR. For the MC-Series OPM system, this parameter can be used to adjust the
output power of the system. The gain at the shelf is fixed and cannot be altered.

The MC-Series OPM system has a different range of output levels than a standard

Changing the iDEN Configuration
The MC-Series OPM System operates as a series of base radios. Each
RadioBlade transceiver in the MC-Series is assigned a BR ID and sector (1, 2
or 3). And, each BR in the MC-Series OPM System is assigned a default
Cabinet position in the site datafill.
To change the default Cabinet position:
1 Select the iDEN Configuration link at the bottom of the System Configuration tab.
2 Enter the Cabinet and Position for the specified BR(s).
3 Select any Quad BRs (only one per group), according to site datafill parameters.
4 In Figure 2.15, one Quad BR has been selected: BR Instance 5 Cabinet 3
Position 5, in the first group. In this example, BRs 5 through 8 make up the Quad
BR.
5 Select the Save Changes button to save the changes.

Voice Loopback Diagnostic Test
The Voice Loopback Diagnostic test provides the ability to loop all inbound
voice traffic back out on the same logical channel for a given BR. This allows a
person with a mobile to do uplink and downlink testing on a given BR without
having to call someone else to monitor voice quality. The person on the Mobile
simply speaks into the mobile and can hear his or her own voice.
Note: This test can also be used to isolate voice quality
issue to the backhaul.
To use the Voice Loopback Test feature:
1.
Click Start Test on the Voice Loopback Diagnostic Test Page to start the
voice packet loopback. The first call, and only the first call, set up after Start
Test is selected will be looped back. If a call other than the tester’s happens
to be set up after Start Test is selected and before the tester has the
opportunity to set up the call, the other call will be looped back.

Speak into the handset, and listen to evaluate voice quality.
3.
Click Stop Test to terminate the test.
The loopback will persist on the selected BR until the Stop Test button is
selected.
The Test Status line will give a brief indication of the test state (Not Started;
Waiting for Call Setup; Started).

System Manager Alarms
The MC-Series OPM System provides fault alarming and isolation within System
Manager for individual components, which consists of detecting catastrophic faults
that prevent a component from responding to a periodic “ping”. Depending on the
severity, alarms are sent to the OMC via the iSCIII.
The Alarms/Events Reference Guide, included on the MC-Series CD and available
on the RadioFrame Networks website, lists the alarms by ID code.
All alarms passed to the OMC use the IIOF Alarm Code 35009, which uses the event
description “Unable to key BR”.

iDEN Alarm Code 4133
The Pole Mount system also introduces a new iDEN alarm (4133). Table 5.7
shows the properties for this alarm code.
In an OPM system with greater than 6 carriers provisioned in a sector, the default
TX power cannot exceed 9.2. It is necessary, therefore, to reconfigure the default
TX power to a value of 9.2 or less.
If more than 6 carriers are provisioned in a single sector AND the defaultTxPower
exceeds 9.2 on any of those BRs, then the maximum allowable TX Power will be
de-rated for the BRs in that Sector as shown in Table 5.8.

The document Alarms/Events Reference Guide lists MC-Series OPM System
alarms numerically by alarm ID (0x01, 0x02, etc.).
MC-Series alarms are based on the X.733 conventions for telecommunications
equipment. The alarms are grouped by service: either “asp” for platform faults or
“iden” for iden application faults. The “cause” field contains the X.733 cause type.
“System reaction” describes the action taken by the system as a result of this
alarm, and “repair actions” provides details on what corrective action should be
taken as a result of this alarm.
The Alarm details on the active alarm manager page of System Manager provides
additional information with respect to the board, slot number, MAC address and
equipment type.
5.5 RadioBlade Transceiver Alarm Handling
The iDEN RadioBlade transceivers Cabinet various faults and reports to the
RadioBlade controller. These faults are monitored, and if the rate at which these
faults occur surpasses a threshold, the RadioBlade transceiver (blade) is locked. The
blade will generate these faults as the result of normal actions such as re-syncing the
MC-Series

998-5005-01 Rev X1
MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide
blade, locking and unlocking the blade and locking and unlocking the BR. For these
reasons, only if the blade continues to generate these faults under normal operating
circumstances is an alarm generated.
The RadioBlade transceiver faults are listed in Table 5.9.
Table 5.9 Faults by the Transceiver

The Phase Lock Loop #1 went out of lock.
PLL2 Errors
The Phase Lock Loop #2 went out of lock.

Tx Overflow
RadioBlade transceiver received too many packets to transmit.
Rx OverFlow

Slot mismatch
Received packets were not consecutive.
CRC errors
Received Ethernet packets had CRC errors.
If a RadioBlade transceiver generates enough errors such that it crosses the Bounce
and Duration threshold for that particular error, an alarm will be generated. This
alarm will also cause the RadioBlade Locking Policy to lock that RadioBlade
transceiver. Table 5.10 lists the fault count and fault period for an alarm to be
generated.

5.6 RadioBlade Troubleshooting
In addition to the above-mentioned errors, if the system loses communication with a
RadioBlade transceiver or is unable to read the EEPROM from the blade, then that
blade is put into an error state and if a standby blade is available it will switch over
automatically.
5.6.1 RadioBlade Locking Policy
The RadioBlade locking policy defines the actions taken by the system when a
determination is made that a RadioBlade transceiver should no longer be allowed
to remain active. This could be the result of an alarm, insertion, removal or
intervention (the user specifically locking the RadioBlade transceiver).
In general, the policy is that if a blade is taken out of service and a standby
RadioBlade transceiver is available, then the standby RadioBlade transceiver will
go into service. If no standby RadioBlade transceiver is available then the
associated BR(s) will be locked. (For the Multi-Channel RadioBlade transceiver,
the locking event locks all carriers.)
The RadioBlade locking policy is enabled by default and in effect at all times.
5.6.2 Standby Blade
A Standby Blade is an extra RadioBlade transceiver that is installed in the system
but does not have a configured BR with which to register. To setup Standby
Blades, make sure that there are more RadioBlade transceivers for each DRBS
Group than Base Radios configured in the iDEN configuration page.
In all the conditions described below, if RadioBlade transceivers are present in the
system that are in the hot-standby state, then locking the RadioBlade transceiver
(due to alarms, removal of a RadioBlade transceiver or administratively locking
RadioBlade transceivers) will result in the hot Standby Blade transceiver being
assigned to the BR that de-registered the locked RadioBlade transceiver.
5.6.3 Locking Policy for RadioBlade Transceiver with Errors
If the RadioBlade transceiver generates enough faults such that it crosses the
Bounce and Duration threshold for that particular error, an alarm will be
generated. The RadioBlade controller then notifies the associated BR, which then
locks the RadioBlade transceiver. This will result in disabling the BR.
If there is a faulty RadioBlade transceiver in the system (generating error alarms),
it is prevented from coming up after a commanded reset/system reset, but the
operator could manually unlock the RadioBlade transceiver, at which point the
RadioBlade transceiver would be assigned to a BR. (This would not prevent the
system from locking it again if an excessive error condition recurs).

998-5005-01 Rev X1
Removal of RadioBlade Transceiver
When a RadioBlade transceiver is physically removed, an event is generated
in the System Manager Event Log notifying the user about the RadioBlade
transceiver removal. The RadioBlade controller will then de-register the
RadioBlade transceiver from the BR(s), which will result in locking the BR(s).
A RadioBlade transceiver Insert event is generated when the RadioBlade
transceiver is inserted into the system.
B.
Administrative Locking of a RadioBlade Transceiver
By definition, administrative locking of a RadioBlade transceiver is in effect if
the RadioBlade transceiver lock icon on the RadioBlade Transceiver Status
page is changed to “locked”.
The Multi-Channel RadioBlade transceiver is treated as a unit (single RBID)
with respect to administrative locking.
The following rules apply to locking a RadioBlade transceiver.
• The BR(s) associated with the administratively locked RadioBlade
transceiver will go into a Disabled state. Only that RadioBlade
transceiver will lock, and its icon will change to “locked”.
• If an administratively locked RadioBlade transceiver is replaced, the new
RadioBlade transceiver will be considered unlocked upon insertion.
(Administrative locking applies to a particular RadioBlade transceiver and
not to a particular DRBS Slot).
• Upon unlocking an administratively locked RadioBlade transceiver, the
BR that was previously disabled due to the locked state will go into the
enabled state.
The lock policy will be preserved through a system reset. Locking of the
RadioBlade transceiver will also be preserved through a system reset. Locking
of RadioBlade transceivers in the disabled state will not be preserved through a
system reset. However, after a system reset, those blades that were originally
in the disabled state due to the effects of a) the locked RadioBlade transceiver
and b) the locking policy will likely return to the disabled state.
The RadioBlade Control page of System Manager has a “Lock All / Unlock All”
feature. Refer to Figure 5.2. With an MCRB, locking the top padlock as shown
on the RadioBlade Control page will lock all carriers for that MCRB while
selecting the padlock on the individual carrier will lock only that carrier.

The MC-Series OPM system supports hot swapping of RadioBlade transceivers.
This means that replacement of a RadioBlade transceiver can be done while the
system is live and does not require a system reset. When RadioBlade transceivers
are hot swapped no alarm is generated. Rather, a RadioBlade transceiver lock and
unlock event is placed in the System Manager Event log.
Each RadioBlade transceiver is shipped wrapped in antistatic packaging, along with
a lock-down strap and screw for securing the RadioBlade transceiver in the
RadioBlade Shelf (DRBS).
Follow the procedure in Section 6.7 (RadioBlade Transceiver Replacement) to add or
remove a RadioBlade transceiver.

General Safety Information
Static Sensitive Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result
in complete or intermittent failures.
• Prior to handling, shipping, and servicing equipment, always put on a
conductive wrist strap connected to a grounding device to discharge any
accumulated static charges. All RadioFrame Networks FRUs ship with a
disposable anti-static wrist strap.
Use extreme caution when wearing a conductive wrist strap near sources of high
voltage. The low impedance provided by the wrist strap also increases the danger
of lethal shock should accidental contact with high voltage sources occur.
Warning!
• Place FRUs only on an anti-static mat when removed from the system. The
conductive surface must be connected to ground through 100 k.
• Do not use non-conductive material for packaging FRUs for shipment or
storage. Wrap all FRUs with anti-static (conductive) material. Replacement
FRUs shipped from the factory are packaged in a conductive material.
• If possible, retain all original packing material for future use.

Safety Warnings
Use extreme caution when wearing a conductive wrist strap near sources of high
voltage. The low impedance provided by the wrist strap also increases the danger
of lethal shock should accidental contact with high voltage sources occur.
Warning!
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws
and regulations.
Warning!
The user is cautioned that changes or modifications made to the equipment that
are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance, could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Warning!
To ensure FCC compliance of this equipment, it is the user’s responsibility
to obtain and use only shielded and grounded interface cables.
Warning!
Warning!
A.3
FCC RF Exposure Compliance: FCC RF exposure compliance must be
addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s),
including antenna co-location requirements of §1.1307(b)(3). The applicable
exposure limits, to demonstrate compliance, are specified in FCC Part 1.1310.
Additionally, the installer of the antenna to be used with this transmitter may be
required to perform an MPE evaluation and an Environmental Assessment (EA) of
the location at the time of licensing per CFR 47 Part 1.1307. Fixed mounted
antenna(s) that are co-located with other antenna(s) must satisfy the co-location
requirements of Part 1.1307 for satisfying RF exposure compliance
Safety Warnings per Cabinet Mount Instructions
The following or similar Cabinet mount instructions are included with the installation
instructions:
Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in the Cabinet should be such that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

998-5005-01 Rev X1
Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the Cabinet should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing
Reliable earthing of Cabinet-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
A.4
Recommendations
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
• Look carefully for possible hazards in the work area, such as moist floors,
ungrounded extension cables, frayed power cords and missing safety grounds.

MC-Series OPM system cables are labeled with their terminuses at each end. They
are routed, dressed and secured along the side of the system Cabinet.
This appendix gives representations of intra-Cabinet cabling for your reference.
Table C.1 through Table C.9 list the connections for each component in the fully
populated MC-Series OPM system. Figure C-1 through Figure C-9 show power, RF
and data path connectivity for the system.
Cables are shown splayed for clarity. The tables, which provide references for all
connections, are keyed to the figures by Index codes. Please note that the Index
codes have significance only within this appendix and do not correspond to cable or
port labeling. Some connections are indicated in the figures only by destination
Index. This is done if cabling is very similar to connections shown, and additional
lines would clutter the diagrams.

The Packet Data service will be tested and verified on the MC-Series OPM System.
Motorola's Packet Data Applet (laptop) will be used to connect to IIOF’s Packet Data
network over the MC-Series OPM System, using a tethered connection with a
Motorola handset.
Several samples of PING requests will be sent to a router in IIOF’s Packet Data
network and average round trip times will be recorded to measure latency. Table D.4
presents the data to be collected for each ping using the MC-Series OPM System.
These tests shall be performed using Windows 2000 OS, and the timeout for each
ping reply shall be set to 2000 milliseconds.

F.1
BER Test Procedure
Bit Error Rate (BER) Diagnostic Test
The Bit Error Rate (BER) Diagnostic Test is used to execute BER tests of the MCSeries OPM System. The Diagnostic Test supports multi-channel RadioBlade
(MCRB) transceivers in the 800E MHz band. BER testing gives a pass/fail
determination for each blade and should be performed on all blades in the Diversity
RadioBlade shelf (DRBS).
The most common testing scenario involves acceptance-test plan (ATP) execution
during incoming inspection and commissioning. The MC-Series OPM System can
be taken out of service for testing during a maintenance window. The RadioBlade
transceivers can be locked as a group and then unlocked one-by-one for the BER
tests.
F.2
Prerequisites for Testing
These procedures presume that the MC-Series OPM System is in place at its site of
service and operational. Therefore, the prerequisites for operation will already have
been satisfied:
• The T1 is live and has been tested.
• The datafill has been completed, including BR Cabinet and position
assignments, and conforms to the recommended datafill.
• All site cabling and installation work has been completed and all punchlist items
corrected.
• The system is powered and operational.
• The software is at least Revision 14.x.xxx.
In addition, the following conditions are required for BER testing:
• The BER test requires that the RadioBlade Shelf be connected to an ISC.
MC-Series

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
F-1
MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide
998-5005-01 Rev X1
• The RadioBlade transceiver under test must be in the active state and unlocked
(UEA).
F.3
Test Tool
• Signal generator (sig gen)
A Motorola R2660 Communications Analyzer can be used as the source of the test
signal for the MC-Series OPM System during the BER test.
F.4
Testing Strategy
In the MC-Series OPM System as in the Motorola Enhanced Base Transceiver
Station (EBTS), BRs are identified by Cabinet and position, with frequencies
assigned in the datafill. BRs in the MC-Series are logical instances that map to
physical RadioBlade transceivers. The MCRB transceivers can be mixed in a
system (on a single DRBS) and the MCRB can operate in a Quad BR configuration.
Like the EBTS, the MC-Series OPM System can be organized as a single sector
(Omni), or as two or two sector site.
The basic BER testing strategy is to record the Base Radio (BR) and corresponding
RadioBlade configuration of the MC-Series OPM System, and then test each blade
across the power spectrum in its assigned range(s) of frequency.
F.4.1
BER Test on an MCRB
Because the MCRB supports up to six carriers, the BR to RadioBlade transceiver
ratio can range from one-to-one up to six-to-one. BER testing confirms the
functionality of the blade hardware itself at selected frequencies and sensitivity
levels, allowing you to check functionality specifically in the assigned ranges.
The MCRB can be viewed as a broadband RadioBlade transceiver in which up to
six iDEN carriers are set up in a 1.25 MHz band centered at an optimal
frequency. When testing an MCRB transceiver, the BER test start page allows an
optional center carrier to be entered. By default, if only a carrier (no center
carrier) is specified for the BER test, the test will be done at that specified carrier,
with the band centered on the specified carrier. Entering both a carrier and a
center carrier allows BER testing to be done at non-center carriers.
The procedures in this guide cover BER testing of the full complement of
RadioBlade transceivers. The BER testing methodology proceeds from sector to
sector, testing each Cabinet shelf and position in succession. Figure F-1
summarizes the process.

F.6
BER Test Procedure
Commonly, the BER test is performed during the process of commissioning an MCSeries OPM System, and the system has not yet been brought online. If the test is to
be performed on a production system, the system must be taken out of service
during a maintenance window.
For your notes during the BER tests, there is a test notes master form, Table F.1,
from which you can make copies. This form is useful both to organize your testing

RadioBlade Transceiver BER Test
This section covers the method to use to measure receiver BER and determine
whether each RadioBlade transceiver passes. Testing is organized by sector to
minimize the need to move the Sig Gen leads. Because you are testing an MCSeries OPM System that is not in service, you can simply leave the leads
connected to the sector Rx port at TOR for the duration of the tests on that sector.
The testing method follows a nested loop (summarized in F.4 (Testing Strategy))
until all blades either pass or fail. Once testing on a given RadioBlade transceiver
has been completed (step 7) you repeat the test steps for the next transceiver.
Once a given sector is completely tested, you move the leads to the next sector
input port and repeat the test for each blade in the next sector.
MC-Series
1.
Set the Motorola R2660 to generate an in-bound 1 x 6 test signal at the
desired frequency and signal level into the Rx port that corresponds to the
RadioBlade transceiver to be tested.
2.
Determine the receive sensitivity threshold. Start at –120 dBm, and then
increase in 2 dB increments until the BER drops below 2%. The receive
sensitivity value should be less than –106 dBm at 2% BER.
3.
Determine the max. level threshold. Start at –48 dBm and increase in 2 dB
increments until the BER goes above 2%. The maximum input power should
be greater than –40 dBm at 2% BER.
4.
If either of the values called for in steps 2 and 3 is not attained, the
RadioBlade transceiver has failed specifications and should be replaced.
5.
Display the RadioBlade Control page (Figure F-3), and make sure the
RadioBlade transceiver that is to be tested is not locked. If it is locked, unlock
it.
6.
If you are unlocking the blade, refresh the page every 30 seconds until the
State of the RadioBlade transceiver has changed to ‘UEA’, approximately 3
minutes.

Dangerous RF Emissions Precautions
The MC-Series OPM System has been approved for antennas up to +20 dBi. At
energy levels within the approved range, operation may present hazards to life
and health.
RF emission level is a function of the installation. Accordingly, it is the
responsibility of the equipment owner, and not RadioFrame Networks, Inc., to
apply signage to the site if it is required under 47 CFR 1.1310.
Please carefully read and observe the following warnings!
This equipment is designed to generate and radiate radio frequency (RF) energy by
means of an external antenna. When terminated into a non-radiating RF load, the
base station equipment is certified to comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) regulations pertaining to human exposure to RF radiation in
accordance with the FCC Rules Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title 47 code
of federal regulations and procedures established in TIA/EIA TSB92, Report on
EME Evaluation for RF Cabinet Emissions Under FCC MPE Guidelines,
Compliance to FCC regulations of the final installation should be assessed and take
into account site specific characteristics such as type and location of antennas, as
well as site accessibility of occupational personnel (controlled environment) and the
general public (uncontrolled environment). This equipment should only be installed
and maintained by trained technicians. Licensees of the FCC using this equipment
are responsible for insuring that its installation and operation comply with FCC
regulations Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title 47 code of federal regulations.
Whether a given installation meets FCC limits for human exposure to radio
frequency radiation may depend not only on this equipment but also on whether the
“environments” being assessed are being affected by radio frequency fields from
other equipment, the effects of which may add to the level of exposure.
Accordingly, the overall exposure may be affected by radio frequency generating
facilities that exist at the time the licensee’s equipment is being installed or even by
equipment installed later. Therefore, the effects of any such facilities must be
considered in site selection and in determining whether a particular installation

meets the FCC requirements. FCC OET Bulletin 65 provides materials to assist in
making determinations if a given facility is compliant with the human exposure to RF
radiation limits. Determining the compliance of transmitter sites of various
complexities may be accomplished by means of computational methods. For more
complex sites direct measurement of power density may be more expedient.
Persons responsible for installation of this equipment are urged to consult the listed
reference material to assist in determining whether a given installation complies with
the applicable limits. In general the following guidelines should be observed when
working in or around radio transmitter sites:
All personnel should have electromagnetic energy awareness training.
