SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Zinwave 3000 Distributed Antenna System is a
wideband in-building system that provides excellent RF
coverage for a multitude of wireless services, irrespective
of carrier frequency or signal protocol.
•
•
•
Different services are carried without multiple infrastructure overlays, or specific band
units. New services can be easily integrated without adding more components to the
infrastructure.
The 3000 DAS double-star architecture (Primary Hub Unit, Secondary Hub Unit and
Remote Units) provides enhanced scalability; a single-star configuration supports small
site solutions.
Modular system design means the same equipment can be used for a wide variety of
applications.

1.2
Simple 3-stage fibre-optic DAS: one Primary Hub Unit (PH) distributes to eight
Secondary Hub Units (SH), each of which distributes to eight Remote Units (RUs). This
gives a maximum of 64 RUs fed by one PH (when more RUs are required, more than
one PH can be used)
The same components support a 2-stage, single star configuration: one Primary Hub Unit
(PH) distributing to eight RUs
Wide frequency range: 136 - 2700 MHz, with both FDD and TDD systems supported
Each Hub has four inputs. All four are used as service inputs in the Primary Hub; In the
Secondary Hub, one input is used for optical connection to the Primary Hub (with a
second for service distribution flexibility or redundancy if required) and the remainder
can be used for local service signal injection (such as WiFi)
Only system to deliver truly broadband solution over multimode fibre (MMF), but can
also be used over singlemode fibre (SMF)
Optional Coax or Fibre link connection to the RUs
Remote Units are remotely powered from the hub
Maximum total supported cable distances: 100m (Coax LMR400), 550m (MMF), 2000m
(SMF)
Self calibrating system, gain levels adjusted automatically to accommodate different cable
lengths
Hot-pluggable Optical & Coaxial transceiver modules used in PH and SH
Web-based and SNMP network management, plus local command interface
Unique service distribution matrix on the hubs.
Multimode fibre technology
The 3000 DAS is the only system that provides a truly wideband solution based on
multimode fibre (MMF). Zinwave's technology extends the bandwidth of in-situ MMF optic
cables to conduct multiple radio frequency signals, at original carrier frequency, over long
distances.
1.3
System architecture
The 3000 DAS system is built from Hub Units and Remote Units (RU). Smaller systems
comprise a single Hub and up to 8 RUs. Larger systems comprise one or two Primary Hubs,
each of which can serve up to eight Secondary Hubs (and hence up to sixty-four RUs).
The RUs can be:
• wideband coaxial or fibre fed
• band-specific coaxial or fibre fed.

Overview
Rather than trying to cover every possible network topology in this guide, we’ll explain how
to install each type of unit in a simple dual-star configuration.
Fig. 2-1
Simple dual-star configuration to illustrate installation procedures
Generally, you should install Zinwave 3000 DAS hardware in the following order:
• Install the Primary Hub:
– Install into a 19" rack.
– Provide mains power to Primary Hub and switch on.
– Populate the Primary Hub with Service, Drive and Link Modules.
• Install the Secondary Hub into a 19" rack, provide power and populate with Modules.
• Install Remote Units (RU) and Antennas
• Make optical and RF connections:
– Connect Primary and Secondary Hubs via fibre infrastructure.
– Connect Remote Units (RU) to Hubs.
– Connect Antennas to Remote Units (RU)
That’s the main part of the hardware installation process. Once complete, later chapters
explain how to:
• Configure and test the network before you connect your services.
• Connect service inputs to Hubs.
Once you’ve got this far, you’re ready to configure your system using the pre-installed
software, via a web browser. This is explained in Configuration and Control on page 23.

2.2
Installing the Primary Hub
Caution: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Leave sufficient space
around ventilation holes in the top and bottom of the Hub casing.
2.2.1
Install the Hub into a rack
Caution: 3000 DAS Hubs are heavy 3U units (18kg) which must be supported front and
rear when installed into a 19" rack.
There are many 19" rack systems on the market of various depths. It is essential that the
weight of the hub is supported front and rear. If it is not possible to use both sets of
brackets, alternative supports mechanisms must be used such as front-to-rear chassis
runners or fully supported shelves. Once installed, the unit should be fixed into the rack
using the supplied rack-mount brackets.
It is beyond the scope of this manual to cover all rack depths and mounting systems. Here
we give an example installation using the supplied rack-mounting brackets.
2.2.1.1
Installing using the supplied rack-mount brackets
You’ll need the following tools and equipment before you start:
• 4 x rack-mount brackets
• 8 x (screws to fix brackets to Hub)
•
•
•
•
•
•
8 x M6 cage nuts
8 x M6 nylon cup washer
8 x M6 x 16 pozi pan head screw
M6 pozi-driv screwdriver
Flat-bladed screwdriver
Cage nut insertion/extraction tool
To install the Primary Hub:
16
Fix the four rack-mount brackets to the Primary Hub.
Adjust the position of the brackets to suit the depth of the 19" rack being used. If using
a 455mm (18inch) rack depth when complete, the brackets should be flush with the
front and rear of the Hub.

Ha rdware I n s ta l la t ion
2.2.2
Install the eight cage nuts into the rack using a cage nut
insertion/extraction tool.
You’ll need to take the rack-mount bracket size and Hub
size into account when fitting the cage nuts (you need
clearance above and below the brackets, as shown).
Fit the Hub into the rack using the pan head screws and
nylon washers.
Provide mains power to Primary Hub
Caution: Unit operating voltage is factory set at either 120V or 230V and cannot be
changed by an operator. Check which variant is supplied and only operate at the rated
voltage.
Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (O) position.
Connect the AC power cord to the Hub.
Plug the AC power cord into an outlet providing AC power (either 110V or 230V,
50-60Hz).
Switch on the Primary Hub.
Check the LED status indicators show correct operation.

Populate the Primary Hub
Follow the instructions below to install any Service modules into the rear of the Primary
Hub.
Follow the instructions below to install any RU Drive and Optical Link modules into the
front of the Primary Hub.
Caution: Optical Link Modules must be installed on the front panel in a Primary Hub, or
the unit will not function as expected.
2.2.3.1
Installing a Module (general instructions)
In order to make a good signal connection, all modules are a very snug fit when you install
them into a hub.
If necessary, remove any blanking panels from slots that you want to populate. To do
this, remove the retaining screw using a flat-bladed screwdriver.
Carefully align and slide the module into the hub.
Once the module is in place, press it home firmly with your thumbs at the top and
bottom to ensure the internal contacts mate correctly.
Replace the retaining screw and tighten using a flat-bladed screwdriver.
It’s good practice to fit blanking plates (supplied) to any unused slots in the hub.
When you install a module into a slot, the three LEDs on the front of the module will
indicate operational status:

Installing the Secondary Hub
Essentially, this is very similar to installing the Primary Hub, described in Section 2.2. The only
differences are in the modules you install:
Install the Secondary Hub into the 19" rack.
Provide mains power to the Secondary Hub and switch on.
Caution: Unit operating voltage is factory set at either 120V or 230V and cannot be
changed by an operator. Check which variant is supplied and only operate at the rated
voltage.
Ethernet connection to Secondary Hub (optional).
Rear panel: Install Optical Link Modules and any Service Modules (optional).
Caution: The Optical Link module must be installed on the rear panel in a Secondary Hub,
or the unit will not function as expected.

2.4
Installing Remote Units and Antennas
You should mount the RUs and Antennas in the locations assigned in your system installation
plan. Antennas are supplied with 1m N-type (female) tails. For most installations, you will
need to supply longer coaxial cables to extend the distance between an RU and Antenna.
You’ll need the following tools and equipment before you start:
• Any extra coaxial extension cables (N-type male to N-type female).
2.4.1
Mounting an RU
Caution: RUs must be vertically-mounted to ensure optimum cooling effect.
Often, RUs are sited in equipment rooms, out of sight. This also allows for easier cable
routing to the Antenna (which must exit from a hole in the ceiling).
Note which way up the bracket goes.
Offer the RU mounting bracket up to the wall.
Mark the four holes using a pencil.
Drill four M3 holes.
Fix the bracket to the wall using four M3 screws and
appropriate fixings such as rawl plugs (not supplied).
Position the RU above the bracket, then slide it down
onto the bracket.

2.4.2
Mounting an Antenna
Caution: This section relates to Zinwave antenna units, which are dual-port (Tx/Rx)
devices. If you are using a third-party antenna unit, you must ensure there is adequate
isolation between Tx and Rx.
Caution: Antennas must be ceiling-mounted, horizontally, for correct operation.
An Antenna is supplied with 1m coaxial tails. You need to make a suitable hole in the ceiling
and feed the coaxial tails up into the space above, so that they are out of sight. Ensure that
any coaxial extension cables can reach from the RU to the Antenna.
Separate the Antenna casing from the mounting bracket.
Offer the Antenna mounting bracket up to the ceiling.
Mark the eight screw holes and the large cable entry hole using a pencil.
Drill eight M4 holes.
Cut out the cable entry hole.
Fix the bracket to the wall using eight M4 screws and appropriate fixings such as rawl
plugs (not supplied).
Feed the 1m Antenna coaxial tails through the cable entry hole.
Offer the Antenna up to the bracket. The Antenna will only fit one way round on the
bracket: Ensure the two locating screws in the Antenna mounting fit into the two holes
at one end of the mounting bracket.
20
Lower the other end of the Antenna onto the mounting bracket and fix in place with the
screw (supplied).

2.5
Making the signal connections
Caution: Observe safety precautions when working with fibre cables and devices (see
Optical Safety Precautions on page 6).
2.5.1
Connect Primary and Secondary Hubs to the fibre infrastructure
Follow these instructions for each Optical Link Module in the Primary and Secondary Hubs.
Caution: Zinwave Optical Link Modules use Single Mode on Transmit (APC) and Multimode
on the receive direction (PC). Both transmit and receive are SC Connectors.
All optical devices require a Zinwave patch cord irrespective of the existing or installed fibre
and connector type.
2.5.2
Remove the protectors from the SC connectors on the
Optical Link Module and the Zinwave patch cord.
Plug the green/blue end of the Zinwave SC optical patch
cable into the Optical Link Module. It is vital that you fit
this connector the right way up (blue tag at the top, as
shown). Incorrect installation will damage the ends of the
fibre.
Connect the other end of the patch cable to your fibre
infrastructure (this will usually be via a fibre patch panel).
Connect Hubs to Remote Units (RUs)
Caution: Power and data is carried over the co-axial cable between the RU Drive Module
and the RU. The power carried is 16VDC, so you must not connect other equipment (e.g. a
spectrum analyzer) directly into the output of an RU Drive Module.
Connect two coaxial cables (N-type male connectors) to the female connectors on the
RU Drive Module.
Connect the other ends of the coaxial cables to the N-type female connectors on the
underside of the RU.

If you’re not using extension RF cables:
Connect the 1m coaxial tails of the Antenna to the top of
the RU.
If you are using extension RF cables (N-type male to N-type
female):
Connect the two N-type male connectors to the top of
the RU.
If you haven’t already done so, feed the RF extension cables through from the RU to the
Antenna.
Connect the two N-type female connectors to the Antenna RF tails.

Overview
The Zinwave 3000 DAS provides a built-in Element Management System (EMS), for
centralised monitoring, and configuration. With a user friendly web interface, the
management features can be accessed using a standard internet browser, and standard alarms
management tools – no proprietary equipment or software is required. An SNMP interface
supports integration with higher order NMS applications. Security features such as separate
user classes and secure communications via SSH & SSL are provided, along with support for
secure SNMP v3. Local diagnostics are also available via LEDs indicating equipment status on
the hubs for rapid fault isolation.
In brief, the steps you need to follow are:
• Make some initial configuration changes via a direct Ethernet connection to a standalone
PC:
– Configure a standalone PC so it can communicate directly (over Ethernet) with
factory-default Hubs
– Make an Ethernet connection to each Hub in turn from the standalone PC and set up
IP addressing (DHCP or fixed IP address) and Hub status (Primary or Secondary)
– Make final Ethernet connections as necessary to each Hub
• Configure each Hub via a web interface to the Primary Hub.
3.2
Before you start
Before you start to configure your Zinwave 3000 Distributed Antenna System, you should
have a firm idea of your final system architecture and any operational parameters (for
example, you may have used Zinwave’s Design Guide documentation, and planned your RF
strategy using Zinwave’s Link Budget spreadsheet.
You will need to have the following information to hand:
• Input power from each Service
• Composite power settings
• Results of any coverage calculations for each RU.
You’ll enter this information as part of the system configuration process described in this
chapter.

3.3
Initial Hub configuration
You need to set up a standalone PC so that it can communicate over Ethernet with your
Primary Hub in its factory default state, to make some initial configuration changes. After
this, you will be able to make any other configuration changes via a local network connection
to the Primary Hub.
• Every Primary Hub is supplied from the factory with exactly the same IP address
(192.168.0.2). You need to change this so that it will operate on your enterprise network
(using static IP addressing or DHCP as appropriate).
• Secondary Hubs do not normally need an Ethernet connection to the local network; all
communications are via the fibre-optic link to the Primary Hub.
Since 3000 DAS configuration is web-based, you can use any type of PC (e.g. Macintosh,
Windows, Linux) to make these changes.
3.3.1
Change the standalone PC’s IP address
3.3.2
On the standalone PC, change the IP address so that it is on the same subnet as a
factory default Primary Hub. For example, set the standalone PC’s IP address to
192.168.0.1 (the default Hub IP address is 192.168.0.2).
Connect the standalone PC
Make an Ethernet connection from the standalone PC to the Primary Hub (you can use a
crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable):
Connect one end of a CAT-5 Ethernet cable to
the network (RJ45) port on the front of the
Primary Hub.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to
the standalone PC.

Start the web configuration GUI
On the standalone PC, start a web browser and
enter the following URL:
https://192.168.0.2
Note the ‘s’ in https, as this is a secure page.
Since this is the first time you’ve connected to a
Hub, you’ll need to step through three screens to
accept a security certificate (you’ll need to do this
every time you connect a different computer for the
first time):
– Click Continue.
– Click the first radio button to Accept this certificate
permanently and click OK.
– Click OK to establish the connection.
At the Login screen, enter the username and
password for the level of access you need (see
Table-3-1; for this session you need to be an
Advanced user) then click OK.
Note: Once logged in, you can only change user login
type by closing the browser window and logging in
again.

Note the MAC address of the Primary Hub
You only need to follow the steps in this section if you want your Primary Hub to be
allocated its IP address by a DHCP server. In the next section, we’ll be setting up IP
addressing, and once you change the IP address of the Primary Hub you will lose contact
with it from the standalone PC. You will need to know its new IP address so that you can
continue the initial configuration from the standalone PC, and so that subsequently you’ll be
able to configure and monitor the Hub from any network-attached PC on your LAN.
• If you’re going to allocate the Primary Hub a static IP address, there’s no need to
discover its MAC address (although it won’t hurt to note it down anyway)
• If you’re going to be using DHCP, knowing the Hub’s MAC address will allow you to
interrogate the DHCP server and discover which IP address it has allocated to the Hub.
Proceed as follows:
3.3.5
On the System Status page in the web configuration GUI, click the link for the Primary
Hub (labelled PH) to display its module status page.
Make a note of the Hub’s Ethernet MAC address.
Set up Primary Hub IP addressing

Display the LAN Setup screen.
– If your enterprise network uses DHCP, select
Enabled in the DHCP Client drop-down
menu.
– If you are using static IP addresses, select

Detailed Hub configuration
Your Primary Hub should now be using its new IP address. From this point on, you can
• Continue to configure the Hub from the standalone PC (don’t forget to change the
standalone PC’s IP address to be on the new subnet)
• Connect the Hub to your LAN and access the web configuration GUI from any networkattached PC.
3.4.1
Log back in to the web configuration GUI
3.4.2
Set the date, time and passwords
3.4.3
In the web configuration GUI, display the Hub Setup
page.
Set the date and time and click Update.
Change the default passwords for basic and advanced
users and click Set Password.
Set up the operating parameters and switching matrix
28
Knowing the Hub’s new IP address, log back into the web configuration GUI.
For example:
– If you gave the Primary Hub the static IP address 10.10.10.5, you log in from the URL
https://10.10.10.5
– If you changed the Hub to be a DHCP client, you need to discover its IP address from
the lookup table on your DHCP server (you’ll need to know the Hub’s MAC address;
see page 27). DHCP server instructions are beyond the scope of this manual.
For now, log in as the advanced user with the default password (supervisor).
Display the System Setup page.
This shows the switching matrix for your system (which Service inputs are connected to
which outputs on the Primary Hub. Lower down the page there are configuration
options for the Secondary Hub and any RUs. Initially, all settings are defaults.

Tell the system which of the available Service inputs you want it to use by setting them
to Enabled.
For each Service, select the Input power in dBm. This is the value that you know you
should be getting from the donor Service. We assume 0dB, but change this if necessary.
Caution: The Input power must not exceed the safe operating limit of +25dBm.
Set the Overload margin.
This is in effect an alarm threshold for input power. If, for example, you had your system
all set up then added another Service, your input power might rise by 3dB. You might set
the Overload margin to 3dB to flag this. Alternatively, you might want to know whenever
the input power level changed, for any reason, in which case you’d set the Overload
margin to a very low threshold.
5 Set the Relative Power per Service.
Here you are setting the relative power level for each Service, based on values you
should have calculated as part of your system design. This should take into account all
Service inputs that contribute to the composite power level.
The maximum that all Services can add up to is 18dBm in Europe and 20dBm in the USA
& Canada (the maximum power that an RU can handle). The maximum EIRP is 20dBm
for WLAN in Europe and 28dBm for all approved services in USA & Canada. This
corresponds to antenna gains of 2dBi for WLAN in Europe and 8dBi for USA & Canada.
6 Set the Uplink/Downlink balance.
Set the relative gain according to your system design parameters.
7 Enter a label (name) for each Service (e.g. Tetra, or DCS 1800).
8 Set the number of carriers for each Service.
9 Enable or disable the links to the Secondary Hub as appropriate.
10 Click to tick (enable) boxes in the switching matrix. This is where you tell the system
which Services are output on which link.
11 Enter a label (name) for the Primary Hub.
12 Click Load Primary Hub Settings below the Primary Hub table to make your settings
take effect.

Set up the Secondary Hubs
Note: You’ll need to follow the steps in this section for each Secondary Hub in turn.
On the System Setup page, scroll to the Secondary Hub table.
Enter a label (name) for the Secondary Hub.
Set up your switching matrix (which Optical Link Modules are connected to which RU
Drive Module).
Enter a label (name) for the Secondary Hub.
Click Load Secondary Hub Settings below the Secondary Hub table to make your
settings take effect.
Repeat steps 1 through 5 for other Secondary Hubs (each will have their own table).
3.4.5
Set up the RUs
On the System Setup page, scroll to the RU table.
There is one row per RU in this table. Set up all the RUs before loading the settings.
Enter a label (name) for the RU.
Set the Downlink power.
Set the upper limit for the Uplink power.
This value should come from your system design. It limits the power back from the RU,
and is also an alarm threshold.
Set the RU Tx state (Enabled or Disabled).
If necessary, repeat steps 2 through 5 for other RUs in the table.
Click Load Remote Unit Settings below the RU table to make your settings take
effect.

Run Autosetup
So far, we have applied configuration changes to the Hubs, but the system has not made any
automatic gain calculations or ‘switched on’ the RF.
At the bottom of the System Setup page, click Validate.
The system will automatically make gain calculations, based on the
values you’ve supplied. It will take into account any path losses due
to cable lengths.
When you calculations are complete, you’ll see the downlink power available to each RU.
If there are no errors, click Apply.
If there are errors, click Go Back to return to the System Setup page and check the
settings. Click Validate again once you’re sure they’re OK.
Once the settings have been applied and there are no errors, the System Setup page will
redisplay. Note that, now the settings are correct, you can’t edit them (as the system is
operational, with those values in operation):
Once you’ve finished, take a look at the System Status page. Click on the links to see
detailed status information for a particular unit.
