x UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B

Welcome!

Welcome to the UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide. This
guide describes how to perform local installation and commissioning of the Micro
BTS at the customer’s site.

Assumptions, Purpose, and Audience

This document is intended for an Alvarion trained field service engineer (FSE) or
operator who performs local installation and commissioning at a customer site.
The FSE or operator should be equipped with the necessary tools for installation
and commissioning, and a basic understanding of the GSM cellular network. The
FSE or Operator should also be familiar with the use of Craft PC and procedures
conducted using the Craft PC.

Alvarion assumes that pre-installation project planning has occurred, and is
documented via a site survey report. This site survey should include items such as
the location of antennas, chassis, power connections and other interface accesses
and temperature control equipment.

Preface

Microwave Radio Radiation Warning

Although Alvarion products do not use microwave radio antennas, the equipment
is often mounted in the vicinity of microwave radio antennas. Under normal
operating conditions, microwave radio equipment complies with the limits for
human exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All Alvarion microwave radio equipment is
designed so that under normal working conditions, microwave radiation directly
from the radio is negligible when compared with the permissible limit of
continuous daily exposure recommended in the United States by ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1991 (R1997), Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

Microwave signal levels that give rise to hazardous radiation levels can exist within
transmitter power amplifiers, associated RF multiplexers, and antenna systems.

Preface

Never look into the open end of a waveguide or any other open RF
connection as eyes are particularly vulnerable to radiation. Do not
disconnect RF coaxial connectors, open microwave units, or break
down any microwave screening while the radio equipment is
operating.

The UltraWAVE Micro BTS is packed with great care, and all containers are
inspected prior to shipment.

Micro BTS components that are shipped separately include:

 Micro subrack assembly

 Power supplies

 Power supply subrack assembly

The Micro subrack assembly includes RF Module(s), processor card, E1 or T1
card, TRX card(s) and the clock module.

Upon receipt of these packages, immediately inspect the outside of the shipping
containers. If there is any visible damage, insist that a representative of the
carrier is present when unpacking the contents.

Carefully inspect the system as it is unpacked. If any damage, such as dents or
broken connections, is noticeable, immediately notify the carrier as well as
Alvarion Customer Service.

Store the shipping containers for future use. If the unit has to be returned for
upgrade or service, the specially designed shipping containers assure adequate
protection for the equipment. If for some reason the containers are not reusable or
if they are misplaced, please contact Alvarion to order new containers.

1.1.1 Unpacking the Cabinet

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

1.1.3 Unpacking and Inspecting the Rack Assembly

The Micro BTS may be shipped in a standard 19 inch rack assembly. Carefully
inspect the system as it is unpacked. Ensure that the required cabling is
included. If you notice any damage such as dents or broken connections,
immediately notify the carrier as well as Alvarion Customer Service.

Store the shipping containers for future use. If the unit has to be returned for
upgrade or service, the specially designed shipping containers assure adequate
protection of the equipment. If for some reason the shipping containers are not
reusable or if they are misplaced, please contact Alvarion to order new containers.

1.2 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Electrostatic discharge is the movement of normally motionless electrical charges
which can destroy common electrical and electronic equipment.

Alvarion recommends that you use an anti-static wrist strap when handling
boards and components.

By using an anti-static wrist-strap, static electricity is constantly dispersed, via
the snug-fitting wrist-band, down the cable and to the grounded connection at the
other end, leaving hands free to work.

 Use either the provided anti-static wrist-strap or an ESD mat.

 Otherwise, touch the metal chassis to drain off any static electricity before

touching the cards.

 Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.

 Dry air can prevent dangerous charges from harmlessly dissipating. Alvarion

recommends a relative humidity of 50-60% when working on this equipment.

 Handle the cards as little as possible and only by the edges.

Before starting any of the following procedures, the Field Service
Technician needs to ensure that anti-static precautions are taken.
