Equivalent Imperial measurement (used in the United States) are provided in parentheses, except when Imperial is the international standard.Bits and BytesFor clarity, bits and bytes are not abbreviated in this document, but their prefixes are. SOMA Net-works follows the common practice of using SI prefixes (base 10) with these terms. Thus, 1 kbit/s (kilobit per second) is equivalent to 1000 bits/s; it should not be confused with 1 Kibit/s (kilobinary bit per second) or 1 x 210 =1024 bits/s.Unless otherwise specified, SI prefixes with bits and bytes in this document refer to a power of 10.Typographical ConventionsTable 3 shows how different fonts are used throughout this guide.Document DescriptionCentral Office Environment Installation/Removal Generic Requirements (GR-1275-CORE) Available from Telcordia Technologies, Inc.

See the follow-ing documents for detailed information about network and backhaul requirements:Network Deployment Planning Guide–describes site, network, and backhaul requirements.System Overview–describes the role and function of equipment in the network core.Edge RoutersThe base station requires a 100-Mbit/s Ethernet connection to at least one edge router configured to direct packets between the base station and the network core. Ensure that your base station site can accommodate the electrical, environmental, and physical requirements of the edge routers.Backhaul CircuitsMultiple T1, DS3/E3, or other interfaces connect the edge routers at the base station site to the net-work core. See your field engineering package information about your site’s backhaul circuits and the configuration of any necessary customer service units (CSUs).NOTE:Backhaul circuits must be tested by qualified personnel before the base sta-tion is placed into operation in order to ensure connectivity with the core serversPSTN GatewayThe base station does not connect directly to the PSTN. A PSTN gateway located in the network core connects the IP-based equipment to the circuit-switched PSTN.NOTE:Ensure that any equipment connecting the base station to the PSTN is UL-listed.
29 Part ####### revision 001 2006/8/3Macro Base Station Installation Procedures (NPM2000)General Site RequirementsEach site has unique requirements and characteristics. The field engineering package contains the site’s floor plan, cabling routing and termination, and other site-specific.Restricted AccessAccess to the site must be controlled by the authority for that location and granted through the use of special tools, locks and keys, or other means of security. Access should be limited to service personnel who have been instructed about the reasons for the access restrictions and about any precautions that must be taken while at the location.Mounting SurfaceThe base station is suitable for mounting on concrete or other noncombustible surfaces only.Equipment Entrance and Unloading AreaA route must be provided between the unloading area and the equipment room where no restrictions will be encountered with a clearance less than 900 mm wide (side-to-side), and 2000 mm high (floor-to-obstruction).All turns along the route must allow sufficient clearance to turn or tilt an object 600 mm wide, 600 mm deep, and 1600 mm high.AC OutletsThe site must have at least two duplex AC receptacles located within a convenient distance to facilitate installation and maintenance of the base station.Fire Protection SystemIt is recommended that a fire protection system is provided for the site.LightingThe site must have sufficient lighting to conduct work in a safe manner. Emergency lighting is recom-mended. Lighting must meet local and other applicable regulations.Tower LightsDepending on its height and applicable regulations, the tower may require aviation safety lights. Con-sult the aviation, environmental, and communication regulations applicable to your site for informa-tion.Antenna Mounting LocationsThe base station uses two antennas (main and diversity) per sector.Cabling RequirementsEnsure that your site has the necessary cable racks and ladders to accommodate the base station and that your site has external cable access ports for the RF antenna cabling.
Site Preparation2006/8/3 Part ####### revision 001 30Isolated Ground Plane EnvironmentEnsure that the base station will be installed in an isolated ground plane environment as defined in Telcordia Technologies GR-1275-CORE.Master Ground Bar RequirementsThe site’s master ground bar (MGB) must be connected to the building principal ground’s electrode system. The building principal ground is the point where grounding conductors of the building (such as air-conditioning, communication systems, and structure) are bonded together.Ground Riser CableThe ground riser cable (the cable connecting the MGB to the building principal ground) must have a minimum conductor sizing of 2/0 AWG. If any equipment cables at the site are larger than 2/0 AWG (such as to compensate for voltage drop), the size of the ground riser cable must be adjusted.Ground ResistanceThe resistance of the building principal ground shall be as low as possible. AN objective of 5Ω is a tele-communications industry standard. In no case should resistance be allowed to exceed the local electri-cal utility limits of 25Ω (NEC article 256-56).

33 Part ####### revision 001 2006/8/3Macro Base Station Installation Procedures (NPM2000)Antistatic PrecautionsTo prevent damage to the base station components from static electricity:Do not handle circuit boards unless you are using the appropriate antistatic protection, such as wrist straps, boot straps, boots, or a conductive mat. Wrist straps must have snug but com-fortable contact with your skin, and they must be connected to a grounding point on the rack.Handle circuit boards by the faceplate, handles, or edges. Do not touch any integrated cir-cuits, connections, pins, or soldered surfaces.WARNING:Components in the base station are highly sensitive to electrostaticdischarges (ESD). Follow the procedures described below to prevent unseen damagefrom occurring.
Pre-Installation Procedures2006/8/3 Part ####### revision 001 34Wrist-Strap Grounding PointThe rack contains a wrist-strap grounding point in the bottom-left corner of the power distribution panel (PDP). The grounding point is connected to the frame ground and provides antistatic protec-tion when technicians work with circuit cards.NOTE:The rack must be grounded for the wrist-strap grounding point to be effec-tive.Figure 3.1 shows the location of the Wrist-Strap grounding point to be connected to the frame ground.Figure 3.1Wrist-Strap Grounding PointF1
