3. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
3.1. I
NTRODUCTION
The ISUG-01 is an RF uplink spectrum analyzer that enables users to consistently
monitor and analyze uplink noise and RF signals. With the increase in wireless data
usage, the network is experiencing a rise in uplink noise levels, ultimately leading to the
noise floor quickly nearing or at alarm levels. The ISUG-01 eliminates the need to wait in
order to diagnose spectrum health.
The ISUG-01 is designed to perform regular analysis of the RF uplink spectrum health.
The system is capable of wideband analysis from 700 MHz to 2.7 GHz. Bands can be
customized for multiple carriers or to suit the needs of one mobile service provider
without any software or hardware modifications.
Users have 24/7 access to the system once it is properly installed. Multiple personnel
can access the real-time RF uplink waveform simply by using an Internet connection to
log onto the Web-based guided user interface (GUI). Users can view channel power,
port status, modify configuration settings and set alarm threshold levels.
The ISUG-01 sends out SNMP based alarm notifications. The ISUG-01 can support
SNMP polling. The system generates two types of alarms: power and spurious alarms.
These alarms can be set by users via upper and lower threshold limits. Users can
choose to set these threshold values for early detection of noise floor rise or for alarming
status. The ability to consistently view the spectrum enables users to take a proactive
approach to diagnosing the uplink spectrum and maintaining overall spectrum health.
The ISUG-01 was designed to give users a proactive tool for analyzing the RF uplink
spectrum. Once properly installed, the ISUG-01 will undoubtedly improve maintenance
and troubleshooting procedures before or during an alarm.
All information necessary to properly use the ISUG-01 will be described in the following
chapters. The steps required to install and configure this system will be described in
detail, however if information or assistance is required, please contact:

LANCE
The ISUG-01 is a system designed to monitor and analyze RF waveforms of elements
within the DAS system. The ISUG-01 has the capability to display real time spectrum
waveforms and track interference sources of uplink frequencies. With a frequency range
of 700 MHz to 2.7GHz and 24 input ports, the ISUG-01 can be a fundamental
component of the network. It can be widely used in a DAS environment to monitor and
analyze spectrum waveforms and create appropriate SNMP alarm notifications to a
designated IP address.

OUNTING
The ISUG-01 is a 19 inch rack mountable unit. It can be mounted into a 4 post rack
utilizing faceplate mounting. The faceplate with side securing can be placed at the front,
rear or both ends of the unit. The unit also requires a supporting mounting shelf as
shown below.
a. 4 post mounting
The variable depth of shelving between front and rear posts in the 4 post rack
system require a supporting shelf for the ISUG-01.

When the ISUG-01 is installed in a 2 post rack system, a 19 inch supporting shelf
will not be required. A detachable side mounting bracket can be mounted at the
middle of the ISUG-01 as shown below.

4.2.1 RF cable connection
The ISUG-01 needs to be installed between BTS (or in cases where applicable DAS
conditioner) and DAS head end unit for monitoring uplink noise and RF signals.
If the DAS head end unit has a test ports or extra uplink ports available, it is
recommended to connect those ports to the ISUG-01 for monitoring the uplink spectrum
in real time.
RF input signal level should be in the normal operating range: -50 to -100 dBm/30kHz.

4.2.2 Ethernet connection
The Ethernet ports are located on front of the ISUG-01 as shown in section 3.3.
LAN Ethernet Port (for laptop connection)
The ISUG-01 can be configured locally with the built-in web-based graphical user
interface. Using a standard Ethernet cable, connect your laptop to the “LAN” port on the
ISUG-01. The LAN connection is simple to set up. The LAN connection should be used
for initial setup and whenever the operator is at site.
Before you connect your laptop to the LAN port, verify your laptop’s Local Area
Connection setting. For more detail information, please refer to section 6 laptop network
setting”.
After a proper connection is made, the red and green LEDs near the ISUG-01 Ethernet
connector will flash. The network hardware will determine the highest speed supported
by both devices. With most PCs, the operating system will automatically establish the
hardware and software network connection.

4.2.3 Power connection
The ISUG-01 needs +27VDC power through using AC/DC power adaptor. If rack system
has +24V to +27VDC power available, it can be directly connected to the ISUG-01. If
ground is needed, ground port (ground cable is not included) can be connected to the
rack system.

6.2.4.1. Network
A WAN Ethernet connection should be used to obtain an IP address automatically as
this port works as DHCP client mode. Once a DHCP server is connected to the WAN
port, the ISUG-01 will be assigned with an IP address automatically. This IP address
should be identified and accessible for remote access.
It is highly recommended to use a static IP address rather than “Obtain an IP Address
Automatically (IPV4)” as shown below.

ISUG-01 User Manual
If there is no valid wired internet connection, a wireless modem (ex. UWMS-03) can be
connected to the ISUG-01. By configuring the port forwarding table on the wireless
modem, users will be able to access the ISUG-01 remotely using the modem’s PPP IP
address and port forwarding number.
An SNMP Destination IP address must be input for alarm notification. The Site ID should
be labeled and the rate for receiving notification of the ISUG-01’s status can be chosen
using the drop down menu from 1 to 60 minutes. The location section will require the
latitude and longitude of the location. Date and time settings for the unit should be set
based on the location of the site install. At the completion of each section the set button
should be clicked to save these settings.
6.2.4.2. Update
Firmware Updates will be sent out if necessary and can be installed by opening them.
The Factory Set button will reset all settings to default factory settings. All configuration
settings will be lost. The Reboot button will restart the system through power cycling,
information will be saved. If the unit is damaged or needs replacement, the current
configuration can be saved onto a computer using the save configuration key. The same
configurations can then be loaded onto a new unit using the load configuration key.
The Event Log contains all activites that have occurred on the GUI excluding alarm
information. The date time and type of event, such as configuration change, login, etc
will be displayed as a file to be saved to your computer.
