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.

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.

2.5.2 Connecting DC Power

The Micro BTS is shipped from the factory with the internal cabling routed from the DC power supply subrack assembly to a round quick disconnect connector on the top rear of the cabinet.
The input power connector cable is supplied with the cabinet assemblies. This section explains how to assemble the input power connector and cable.
DC Input Power Connector Details
Figure 2-15 shows the DC quick disconnect power connector and cable.
Figure 2-15: DC Round Quick Disconnect Connector and Cable
The cable wires are connected to the input power supply as follows:
Black is connected to the -48 VDC supply.
Red is connected to the -48 VDC supply.
White is a return and typically connected to the cabinet ground.
Green is a return and typically connected to the cabinet ground.
Two wires carry -48 VDC and two wires must carry Return.
44 UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B
Connecting the DC Power Supply to the Cabinet
Use the following procedure:
The power main must be a Safe Extra-Low Voltage (SELV),
-48 VDC supply as defined in IEC950 and EN60950.
1 Verify the ground connection you made in Section 2.4.1 is secure. The cabinet
is grounded through this connection. It is critical that this connection is made properly.
2 Make sure that the power button located on all power supply modules is in the
raised OFF position. See Figure 2-16 for the location of the power supply power buttons.

Connecting E1 or T1 Trunk Cables

2.6 Connecting E1 or T1 Trunk Cables

External trunk cabling depends on the configuration that the customer ordered and the site-specific requirements. These cables will be supplied by the customer. Failure to use electrically compliant T1 or E1 cables may cause transmission errors. Please refer to the appropriate subsections to determine your cable requirements.
The E1 or T1 trunk cables are routed directly to the E1 or T1 trunk card in the Micro subrack assembly. All three types of signaling (E1 75 Ohm, E1 120 Ohm and T1 100 Ohm) are terminated at the cabinet with RJ-48C port connectors.

2.6.1 E1 Cables

E1-75 Ohm
This is coaxial cable with a nominal impedance of 75 Ohm +/-5% at 1 MHz. The maximum allowable cable distance depends directly on the insertion loss of the cable at 1 MHz. In this mode, the E1 trunk card can accommodate up to 6 dB of cable loss.
E1-120 Ohm
This cable is individually shielded twisted pair with a nominal impedance of 120 Ohm +/-5% at 1 MHz. The maximum allowable cable distance depends directly on the insertion loss of the cable at 1 MHz. In this mode, the E1 trunk card can accommodate up to 9 dB of cable loss.
Table 2-10 provides a description of cables required for installation and
connection to an E1 network, but not supplied with the Micro BTS.
Before connecting E1 lines to the Micro BTS, it is assumed that the quality of the lines has been verified. It is recommended that Bit Error Ratio (BER) tests are completed to ensure that the BER is less than 10

T1-100 Ohm
For T1 connections, the proper cable is an individually shielded twisted pair with a nominal impedance of 100 Ohm +/-5% at 772 kHz. The maximum allowable cable distance depends directly on the insertion loss of the cable at 772 kHz. The T1 card can accommodate up to 9 dB of cable loss. When using 22 AWG ABAM cable, 9 dB of loss is approximately 2000 feet. When using Belden type 9729 (with a cable loss of 6 dB per 1000 feet at 772 kHz) the maximum cable distance is approximately 1500 feet.
Table 2-11 provides a description of cables required for installation and
connection to a T1 network, but not supplied with the Micro BTS.
Before connecting T1 lines to the Micro BTS, it is assumed that the quality of the lines has been verified. It is recommended that BER tests be completed to ensure that the BER is less than 10

2.6.3 Connecting E1 or T1 Lines

All E1 or T1 cable routing should be installed per the site survey documentation in conjunction with the information identified in the GSM Network Implementation Manual.
Using the appropriate customer-supplied cables, connect the Abis interface E1
and/or T1 cables to the local E1 or T1 provider.
2.6.4 Direct Cabling Between Multiple UltraWAVE
or WAVEXpress Systems
This section provides information for cabling between Alvarion equipment. The external cabling between your equipment will vary depending on the configuration of the cable management assembly of each chassis. This could consist of any combination of BNC, DSUB or RJ-48C connectors and either E1 or T1 signaling.
The direct cabling between systems requires crossover cables (Tx to Rx, and Rx to Tx), instead of the straight-through cabling used when connecting systems through a radio or telephone provider network.
50 UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B
Using Cross-Over RJ-48C Cables
When connecting a shielded twisted pair crossover cable between two UltraWAVE or WAVEXpress systems, the routing of the pins needs to comply with the cable mapping shown in Figure 2-20. The RJ-48C cable connector may be of the conventional plastic body type with the shield and drain wires of the cable connected to a pigtail to pin 8 (Signal Ground), which is internally grounded to the card. However, a shielded cable plug may also be used, terminating the cable shield to an integral metal shell of the RJ-48 jack which then makes an electrical connection to the front panel when installed. Figure 2-20 provides the pin assignments for the RJ-48C jacks.

2.7 Connecting Antennas

The cabinet assembly provides external access to the male N-type connectors for your external antennas. Your antenna cable should terminate with a 90° N-type female connector or an N-type female to male elbow adapter may be used for a more convenient connection to the cabinet. Insertion loss for the elbow type of connector is typically between 0.1 and 0.2 dBm.
The antenna cabling for the Micro BTS can be configured in several ways depending on a number of factors including the number of TRXs, number of antennas and use of diversity. Your site specific configuration was determined during the network planning stage of implementation.

The UltraWAVE base station may consist of up to six separate transceivers, with each of the transmitters operating at a maximum output power of +47 dBm

Connecting Antennas
(50 W). The UltraWAVE base station transmitters operate in the U.S. cellular band of 869 to 894 MHz.
As the UltraWAVE is intended to be operated in cellular service, each of its transmitters is typically connected to a 65 - 120 degree sector antenna or omni directional antenna. For the purpose of the MPE calculations, it will be assumed that the UltraWAVE is fully equipped with six transceivers, and that two different transmitters are used in each 120 degree sector. For the MPE calculations this would be the worst case radiation levels as the equivalent RF power of +50 dBm (100 Watt) would be transmitted into a 120 degree sector.
The typical gain of 65 - 120 degree sector antenna is in the range of +6 to +18 dBi. However, there is the highest ERP limitation on the Part22 requirement which is 500 Watt (57 dBd).
The duty cycle of the transmitter is 100%. Assuming two transmitters are operating into the same 120 degree sector, a maximum of +47 dBm of RF energy would be transmitted into two antennas, with total EIRP=61 dBi would be the worst case.
RF power density can be calculated with the equation: S = P * G / 4p R
2
, where S = power density in mW/cm, P = power input to the antenna in mW, G = power gain of the antenna, and R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna in cm. By rearranging this equation, the relationship between distance (R) and Power Density (S) can be found.
Rearranging R = sqrt (PG/4pS), and solving for the maximum limits of
2.90 mW/cm
R(2.90 mW/cm
R(0.58 mW/cm
2
, and 0.58 mW/cm2 we have:
2
) = sqrt (1,260,000 mW/4p*2.90) = 186 cm, or 73 inches.
2
) = sqrt (1,260,000 mW/4p*0.58) = 416 cm, or 164 inches.
1,260,000 mW is used to account for two 50,000 mW transmitters operating into each 120 degree sector.
These results show that the general population RF exposure limits are not exceeded as long as the general population is kept 164 inches from the feed point of the antenna.
The propagation characteristics at 870 MHz dictate a line-of-sight type of RF path. As such, typical installation locations are up on rooftops or masts to get above ground level path obstructions. When the UltraWAVE antennas are installed in this manner, the general population will be further than 164 inches from the antenna, and RF exposure limits will be met.

2.8 Connecting External Alarms

The OMC supports many alarms from the Micro BTS. The external alarms are reflected at the OMC operator station, and may be used for site alarms, such as open door, temperature and battery back-up alarms. These customer defined alarms are sampled every two minutes by default and will report an alarm when sent by the Micro BTS alarm controller.
Using the details provided in these sections, make your connections for external alarm inputs.
If you are replacing an existing system which has external alarms connected directly to the processor card, you may connect your existing RJ-45 alarm cable directly into the ICP processor card alarm connector. Optionally, you can re-route your existing alarms to the UltraWAVE alarm terminal block or add additional external alarms.
The OMC operator can set the alarm text as described in the UltraVIEW OMC Setup and System Administration Guide.
Identifying the Terminal Block
The alarms are processed on the alarm interface module located on the rear of the Micro subrack assembly. The alarm interface module has connections for incoming signals from external alarms and the power supplies and an outgoing connection to the ICP processor card through a USB type cable. The interfaces are shown in Figure 2-27.

3.2.4 Power-On LED Tests

This section describes how to power-on the Micro BTS and verify that the cards in the system come up properly by viewing the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the front panel. The purpose of these tests is to verify that the LEDs come up in the correct state, indicating that the system is operating normally.
When you power-on the Micro BTS, it automatically runs its power on self tests (POST), downloads software to the E1 or T1 cards, and then attempts to bring up the cards. While it is bringing up the cards and when it is finished, the LEDs indicate the state of each card.
Use the following procedure to power on the chassis and verify the LEDs:
1 Turn the power to the chassis on by simultaneously switching on two power
supplies. The power supply switches are shown in Figure 2-13 and
Figure 2-16. This will share the start up load across the power supplies.
2 Verify that the front-panel LEDs flash in the sequence shown in Figure 3-4.
