Vecima Networks Inc. 2.0 INSTALLATION CAUTION: This device must be professionally installed. 1 mW/CM2 is the maximum permissible exposure for radio transmitters between 1.5 to 100 GHz for uncontrolled environments. The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF fields in excess of the FCC recommended limits. For more information, refer to the Federal Communications Commission guidelines on radio frequency safety, accessible through their Web site: www.fcc.gov. 2.1 Unpacking the Unit Carefully remove the equipment from its packing material and set it on a solid surface, such as a table or desk. If it appears damaged in any way, notify the carrier, and keep all packing materials for inspection by the carrier’s agent. 2.2 Operating Environment The MA4367 system includes an active cooling fan tray which forces cooling air from the bottom through to the top of the chassis. For adequate ventilation, a space of 1U (1.75”) should be left in the rack, directly above the MA4367 chassis for warm air exhaust. It is designed to operate at temperatures ranging from 10 to 40oC (50 to 104oF). As with all electrical equipment, operation at excessive temperature accelerates the deterioration of components. For this reason, measures should be taken to prevent the build up of excessive heat in the rack. Antenna Requirements The MA4367 is operated with a user-supplied antenna. Please consult table 2.2A for further information. Mount the antenna according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Vecima Networks Inc. 14 3.2 Front Panel Operating Modes 3.2.1 MA4061B Upconverter Modes FREQUENCY When this mode is selected, the display will read: Frq XXXX.XXXX MHz The displayed frequency is the current configured Output Frequency. To adjust the output frequency, use the UP/DOWN buttons. Single stepping will allow 62.5 kHz adjustment, while holding the buttons depressed will change the frequency more quickly. The displayed frequency represents the center of the band. During frequency change, the output is muted and the RF ENABLED indicator is turned off for 5 seconds to avoid undesirable interference. AUTO IF When this mode is selected, the display will read: IF AGC Enabled or IF AGC Disabled Pressing the Up or Down buttons will toggle the display between Enabled and Disabled. When enabled, the MA4061B will automatically optimize the IF level and ensure it is within a pre-set threshold range (default ±0.5 dB). When disabled, the IF level can be manually adjusted as described in the next section. The Auto IF mode should only be used for continuous IF inputs (non-bursty). If the IF level is not within ±4.0 dB of the optimum level during Auto IF mode, the output will be muted to avoid undesirable interference, and the Alarm LED will be on. At the time of shipping, the AUTO IF is enabled. IF LEVEL ADJUST When this mode is selected, the display will read: IFPwr ±XX.X dB The display indicates the approximate IF power level measured at the internal IF power detector. To adjust the IF level, use the UP/DOWN buttons. To configure the MA4061B Upconverter for optimum performance, the IF level should be adjusted to read approximately 0.0 dB (-0.5 to +0.5). An IF level less than 0 dB will degrade noise performance and a level above 0 dB will promote intermodulation products. The IF level can only be adjusted if the Auto IF mode is disabled. RF OUTPUT LEVEL ADJUST When this mode is selected, the display will read: RFPwr ±XX.X dBm The display indicates the approximate RF output power level measured by the internal RF power detector at the output of the MA4061B upconverter. To adjust the RF level, use the UP/DOWN buttons. The RF output level may be set within the range of 15 dBm to +3 dBm. Ensure that the IF level is correctly set before adjusting the RF level. Adjustments of the MA4061B output level will also directly affect the output level of the MA4070C power amplifier. ma4367_ml_03_sd Approved: B.G. Vecima Networks Inc. 15 OUTPUT ENABLE/DISABLE When this mode is selected, the display will read: Output Enabled or Output Disabled Pressing the Up or Down buttons will toggle the display between Enabled and Disabled. When enabled, the RF output from the MA4061B Upconverter is enabled. When disabled, the RF output from the MA4061B Upconverter is disabled. An RF output is only present when there is a valid IF input configured as described in the previous sections. This means that at the time of shipping, the output is disabled until a valid input is applied. IF AND RF ALARM THRESHOLD SETTING The IF and RF alarm threshold can be configured by the user via remote control. Default settings are as follows: IF +4, -4 dB, alarm function enabled RF -15, +4 dBm, alarm function enabled The IF and RF alarms can be independently enabled or disabled via remote control. Refer to Section 6.5, Detailed Command Descriptions and System Responses for instructions on how to adjust these settings. DEFAULT SETTINGS At the time of shipping from factory, the default settings of the MA4061B are: AUTO IF AGC enabled IF & RF Thresholds enabled Output is disabled (until a vaild input is supplied) The default status code at the time of shipping is s0E. Once a valid input is applied, this status will change. 3.2.2 MA4070C Power Amplifier Modes FORWARD POWER When this mode is selected, the display will read: Fwd Pwr XX.X dB The display indicates the approximate RF power at the output of the MA4070C power amplifier. To adjust the RF level, use the UP/DOWN buttons. Note that since the MA4070C is a fixed gain device, the MA4367 transmitter actually adjusts the RF output power of the MA4061B upconverter. Therefore any changes made to the MA4070C output level will also be reflected in the MA4061B output level. The RF level is measured by the internal RF power detector at the output of the MA4367 power amplifier. The detector measures from +20 dBm to +40 dBm. It is recommended to use a calibrated external power meter for accurate setting of the power level. If operating by remote control, adjustments of the forward power level cannot be made directly. The power must be adjusted by altering the MA4061B output level. REVERSE POWER When this mode is selected, the display will read: Rev Pwr XX.X dBm The display indicates the approximate RF power level returned to the card from mismatched connections, etc. The detector measures from +20dBm to +40dBm ma4367_ml_03_sd Approved: B.G. Vecima Networks Inc. 16 OUTPUT ENABLE/DISABLE When this mode is selected, the display will read: Output Enabled or Output Disabled Pressing the Up or Down buttons will toggle the display between Enabled and Disabled. When enabled, the RF output from the MA4070C Power Amplifier is enabled. When disabled, the RF output from the MA4070C Power Amplifier is disabled. TEMP When this mode is selected, the screen indicates the internal temperature of the amplifier. FORWARD AND REVERSE ALARM THRESHOLD SETTING The IF and RF alarm threshold can be configured by the user via remote control. Default settings are as follows: ForwardHigh +41 dB, alarm function disabled ForwardLow +20 dB, alarm function disabled ReverseHigh +40 dBm, alarm function disabled The alarms can be independently enabled or disabled via remote control.

(See Section 4.1, Power/Control Module Rear Panel Connections for the connector pin-out). The input data rate can be 9600, 14400, or 28800 baud. The MA4000 System Controller will automatically determine which data rate is in use and adjust accordingly. There are no user settings relating to baud rate selection. 6.2 Message Format All messages to the MA4000 system controller consist of a sequence of ASCII characters. Messages must meet the following guidelines in order to be correctly interpreted by the controller. • • • • There can be no more than 75 ms between consecutive message bytes. After receiving the entire message, the MA4000 System Controller will require approximately 200 ms to process and respond to the message. Only one message can be processed at a time, consequently the user must wait for a reply before sending a new message. Commands sent to an invalid chassis address will be discarded without a response. 6.3 Command Structure The command structure consists of a sequence of ASCII characters terminated by a carriage return. All ASCII characters are case-insensitive unless otherwise indicated. Commands are to be in one of the following two general formats:ADD MOD CC CRC or ADD MOD CC PARM CRC ASCII Asterisk character ASCII Space character ASCII Carriage Return character ADD = Address (3 ASCII characters) Addresses are 3 digit numbers. Three digits (including leading zeros) are required to correctly define an address. MOD = Module (1 ASCII character) A = Module A (Leftmost module) B = Module B J = Module J (Next to Power Control Module) CC = Command Code (2 or 3 ASCII characters) ma4367_ml_03_sd Approved: B.G.

If the checksum is used, the first character is an ASCII “V” followed by the low and high bytes respectively of the computed CRC 16 checksum (the checksum characters are not necessarily ASCII). The checksum is to be computed on all characters after the initial character up to, and including, the first “V” character in the CRC section. If the checksum is not used, the 3 characters should be ASCII “NNN” (they must be uppercase). PARM is one or more characters, and is command specific. ma4367_ml_03_sd Approved: B.G. Vecima Networks Inc. 28 6.4 Response Structure The response structure will consist of a sequence of ASCII characters, terminated by a carriage return. Responses will be in one of the two following general formats: ADD R RC CRC or ADD R RC PARM CRC There will be one response returned for all commands. ASCII Asterisk character ASCII Space character ASCII Carriage Return character ADD = Address (3 characters) The address of the unit that is responding to the command. R = ASCII “R” character (1 character) Indicates that this is a response to a previous message. RC = Response Code (3 characters) OK = Command Accepted MOD = Command Denied because the addressed module is invalid ERR = Command Denied because of Syntax Error CRC = Command Denied because of CRC-16 error CRC = CRC-16 checksum (3 characters) The response checksum is always valid. The first character will be an ASCII “V” followed by the low and high bytes respectively of the computed CRC 16 checksum (the checksum characters are not necessarily ASCII). The checksum will be computed on all characters after the initial character up to, and including, the first “V” character in the CRC section.

Vecima Networks Inc. 36 6.6 CRC Calculation The CRC calculations are performed using a table driven approach. The polynomial used is X^16+X^15+X^2+1. Only the basic algorithm and lookup table will be described here. Sample code is available on request. For further information, this approach is described in detail in the following paper: Perez, Aram; Byte-wise CRC Calculations, IEEE Micro, June 1983, pp. 40 - 50 The algorithm for the CRC calculation is as follows: Exclusive-OR the input byte with the low-order byte of the CRC register to get X. Shift the CRC register 8 bits to the right. Exclusive-OR the CRC register with the contents of the table, using X as an index. Repeat steps 1 - 3 for all message bytes. Note: The CRC register is 16 bits long, and should be cleared to 0 before beginning the calculations. For the transmit message: After all the message bytes have been processed, the CRC is tagged on to the end of the message with the least significant byte first. For the received message: After all the received message bytes have been processed, the resulting CRC should be zero. If it is not zero, at least one bit error has occurred. If it is zero, it is assumed that no errors have occurred. ma4367_ml_03_sd Approved: B.G.
