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)
1.1.3Unpacking 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.

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.
1.2Electrostatic 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.

Connecting E1 or T1 Trunk Cables
2.6Connecting 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.
2.6.1E1 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

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.
2.6.4Direct 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.
50UltraWAVE 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.

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
58UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B
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.

2.8Connecting 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.
60UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B
This terminal block provides a plug connection for up to 17 external alarms. The
plugs supplied with the Micro BTS provide an alarm loop for connection to a
normally open alarm mechanism. The plug identifiers correspond to the alarm
codes sent to the OMC. See Table 2-18 for Terminal Block pin assignments, and
see Figure 2-28 for external alarm terminal block details.
62UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B
Connecting External Alarms
To connect the external alarm contacts to the external alarm terminal block:
Only the EP1 through EP17 plugs shown in Figure 2-28 use the
signal and ground alarm input pins. DO NOT connect EP1
through EP17 plugs to FC, TTL, 27V, VCC or DR connection
pins, or you can cause serious damage to the system.
1Route the external alarm input cables from the external equipment through
the cable gland on the external interface to the external alarm terminal block.

Figure 2-29: External Alarm Plug
2Using the details provided in Figure 2-29, connect the normally-open alarm
inputs from the external equipment to the external alarm plug.
3Connect the alarm plug to the terminal block. Note the plug identifier and
using Table 2-18 inform the OMC operator which alarm code corresponds to
the external alarm that you have just installed.
Inputs from external alarms should be normally open. When the
external contacts close, the Micro BTS sends an alarm to the
OMC.

3.2.4Power-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:
1Turn 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.
2Verify that the front-panel LEDs flash in the sequence shown in Figure 3-4.
