ADMONISHMENTS
Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to
persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what
may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers,
Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of
the triangular alert icon (seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or
damage and likelihood of occurrence.
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warn ing: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation
can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not
look directly into the optical transceiver of any digital unit or exposure to laser radiation may
result. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood
MUST be immediately placed over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector to avoid
the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt
particles from entering the adapter or connector.
Danger: Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Exposure to laser radiation may result.
Do not assume laser power is turned-off or the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
Danger: Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing
or using electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use
electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.
Warn ing: The HU is powered by 48 VDC power which is supplied over customer-provided
wiring. To prevent electrical shock when installing or modifying the HU power wiring,
disconnect the wiring at the power source before working with uninsulated wires or terminals.
Caution: Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing of patch cords and pigtails
without severe bends. Fiber optic patch cords or pigtails may be permanently damaged if bent
or curved to a radius of less than 2 inches (50 mm).

1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides basic description, application, and configuration information about the
Digivance SCS system. Throughout this publication, all items referenced as “accessory items”
are not furnished with the basic product and must be purchased separately.
2 SCS SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Digivance Long Range Coverage Solution (LRCS) system is an RF signal transport system
that provides long-range RF coverage to areas where it is impractical to place an Enhanced Base
Transceiver Station (EBTS) at the antenna site. High real estate costs and community
restrictions on tower and equipment locations often make it difficult to install the EBTS at the
same location as the antenna. The LRCS system overcomes equipment placement problems by
hubbing base stations at a central location and placing antennas at remote locations with
minimal real estate requirements. The LRCS system transports RF signals to remote locations to
expand coverage into areas not receiving service or to extend coverage into difficult to reach
areas such as canyons, tunnels, or underground roadways.
The SCS system provides the same functionality as the LRCS system but incorporates a low
profile, low power, low cost remote unit. The SCS system remote unit complements the high
power remote unit used with LRCS systems. The primary application includes urban areas
where multiple, strategically placed, low power remote units provide better coverage than high
power remote units.
2.1 Basic SCS System Components
The basic components of a typical Digivance SCS system and their function are shown in
Figure 1-1. A basic SCS system consists of a Host Unit (HU) and a Remote Unit (RU). The HU
consists of a rack-mountable chassis that is designed for use in an indoor environment. The RU
consists of a sealed enclosure that is designed for use in an outdoor environment. Control and
monitoring functions are provided by the Digivance Element Management System (EMS).

2.2 Enhanced Base Transceiver Station Interface
The HU is interfaced with an EBTS over coaxial cables as shown in Figure 1-2. The EBTS
provides the RF channel inputs and outputs for a designated sector. In the forward path, the HU
receives two RF inputs from the EBTS. The HU digitizes the RF spectrum and then converts it
to digital optical signals for transport to the RU. In the reverse path, the HU receives digital
optical signals from the RU. The HU converts the digital optical signals back to two RF outputs
which are supplied to the EBTS over the coaxial cable interface.

2.3 Subscriber Unit Interface
The RU interfaces with the subscriber units (cell phones) through an antenna. In the reverse
path, the RU receives RF spectrum from each subscriber unit (see Figure 1-1). The RU digitizes
the RF spectrum and then converts it to digital optical signals for transport to the HU over the
optical fiber link. In the forward path, the RU receives digital optical signals from the HU. The
RU converts the optical signals to RF spectrum for transmission to the subscriber units. The RU
is connected to an antenna (not provided) which transmits and receives the subscriber unit RF
spectrum.
2.4 Local Management Interface
Communications with an individual Digivance system is supported through a local management
interface capability as shown in Figure 1-3. A local management interface requires a PC-type
computer loaded with the Digivance Element Management System (EMS) software. EMS
provides the various control and monitoring functions required to locally manage a Digivance
system. The EMS computer connects directly to the HU through the computer’s RS-232 port.
Operation is implemented through the EMS Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI consists
of a series of screens from which the user selects the desired option or function. An RS-232
service port is provided on the HU for connecting the EMS computer.

2.5 Network Operations Center Interface
Communications between a Network Operations Center (NOC) and a networked group of
multiple Digivance systems is supported by a NOC interface capability as shown in Figure 1-5.
To support the NOC interface, a PC-type computer loaded with the Digivance Element
Management System (EMS) software is required. EMS provides the various control and
monitoring functions required to remotely manage multiple Digivance systems through the
NOC interface.
A Controller Area Network (CAN) port is provided on each HU. Up to twenty-four HU’s may
be linked together through the CAN interface and controlled by the same EMS computer. All
the networked HU’s and the associated RU’s may be managed by connecting the EMS computer
to one HU. The EMS computer provides an RS-232 port (#1) to support the interface with the
networked HU’s.
The NOC can be linked to the EMS computer through a T1 system, DS0 with RS232
conversion, or some other medium. The EMS computer provides an RS-232 ASCII interface
port (#2) to support the interface with the NOC.
At the NOC, control and monitoring of the networked Digivance systems is implemented
through a Network Element Manager (NEM) interface which requires only a VT100 terminal/
emulator for operation. The NEM interface language consists of simple ASCII text strings. All
communications are input as either SET or GET commands which result in ASCII text string
responses from the specified system or systems.

2.6 SNMP Interface
Communications between an external Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Manager
and a networked group of multiple Digivance systems is supported by an SNMP interface
capability as shown in Figure 1-6. To support the SNMP interface, a PC-type computer loaded
with both the Digivance Element Management System (EMS) software and the SNMP Proxy
Agent software is required. The EMS and SNMP Proxy Agent software plus the associated
Management Information Base (MIB) provide the various control (Set) monitoring (Get) and
trap functions required to remotely manage multiple Digivance systems using an SNMP
Manager.
A Controller Area Network (CAN) port is provided on each HU. Up to twenty-four HU’s may
be linked together through the CAN interface and controlled by the same EMS computer. All
the networked HU’s and the associated RU’s may be managed by connecting the EMS computer
to one HU. The EMS computer provides an RS-232 port (#1) to support the interface with the
networked HU’s.
The SNMP Manager may be linked with the EMS computer through a Local Area Network
(LAN). The EMS computer provides an Ethernet port to support the interface with the LAN.
The SNMP Proxy Agent supports two versions of the SNMP protocol: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
A facility to Register/Unregister an SNMP Manager for receiving traps is also supported by the
SNMP Proxy Agent. The SNMP Manager is an option and must be ordered separately from
the EMS software.

3 SYSTEM FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES
This section describes various system level functions and features of the Digivance system.
3.1 Fiber Optic Transport
In a typical Digivance LRCS system, the HU is connected to the RU over two single-mode
optical fibers. One fiber is used to transport the forward path optical signal. The other fiber is
used to transport the reverse path optical signal. Because the optical signal is digital, the input
and output RF signal levels at the HU or the RU are not dependent on the level of the optical
signal or the length of the optical fiber. A diagram of the fiber optic transport system for a
typical Digivance LRCS system is shown in Figure 1-7.

REMOTE
UNIT

Figure 1-7. LRCS System Fiber Optic Transport - Typical
The maximum length of the optical links is dependent on the loss specifications of the optical
fiber, the losses imposed by the various connectors and splices, and the RF modulation protocol
response timing limitations. The basic system provides an optical budget of 25 dB (typical)
when used with 9/125 single-mode fiber.
In SCS applications, the forward path and reverse path optical signals from an HU/RU pair are
combined onto a single optical fiber. This is accomplished by using a passive bi-directional
Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) system. The optical wavelengths used in the
Digivance system are 1550 nm for the forward path and 1310 nm for the reverse path. Because
different wavelengths are used for the forward and reverse paths, both signals can be combined
on a single optical fiber. A WDM module (accessory) is installed with the HU at the host site
The SCS RU, which is equipped with an internally mounted WDM, is installed at the remote
site as shown in Figure 1-8.

ADCP-75-187 • Issue 3 • September 2006 • Section 1: OVERVIEW
3.2 Control and Monitoring Software
The EMS software and the SNMP Proxy Agent software provide control and monitoring
functions for the Digivance system through the local, NOC, and SNMP interfaces. The EMS
software package supports the local and NOC interfaces but does not include the SNMP Proxy
Agent software which must be ordered separately. Both the EMS and the SNMP Proxy Agent
software are required to support the SNMP interface. All software files are provided on CDROM’s. Software installation consists of copying the software files from the CD-ROM’s to a
designated directory on the hard-drive of the EMS computer.
The EMS software provides the capability to provision and configure the Digivance system for
operation. This includes selecting a site name, setting alarm thresholds, and setting forward and
reverse path RF gain adjustments. The EMS software also provides the capability to get alarm
messages (individual or summary), obtain data measurements, and to upgrade the HU/RU
system software. All control and monitor functions (except software upgrade which is not
supported by the NOC/NEM and SNMP interfaces and HU/RU pair site number assignment
which is not supported by the SNMP interface) may be implemented using the NOC/NEM
interface, the SNMP interface, or the EMS software GUI.
3.3 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
LED indicators are provided on the front panel of the HU and on the underside of the RU to
indicate if the system is normal or if a fault is detected. In addition, normally open and normally
closed alarm contacts (for both major and minor alarms) are provided at the HU for connection
to a customer-provided external alarm system. All alarms can also be accessed through the
NOC/NEM interface, SNMP manager, or the EMS software GUI.
3.4 Powering
The HU is powered by ±24 or ±48 VDC and must be hard-wired to a local DC power source
through a fuse panel. A screw-down terminal strip is provided on the rear side of the HU for the
power connections.
The RU is powered by 90 to 265 VAC (nominal 120 or 240 VAC), 47 to 63 Hz power. On an
optional basis, the RU may be powered by 60 to 89 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz power. A connector is
provided on the underside of the RU for the AC power connections. A 3-wire AC power cable
rated for outdoor use is included with the RU. The stub end of the cable must be hard-wired to
the AC power source.
3.5 Equipment Mounting and Location
The HU consists of a rack-mountable chassis assembly that is designed for mounting in a noncondensing indoor environment such as inside a wiring closet or within an environmentally-
controlled cabinet. The HU is usually installed within 20 feet of the EBTS and may be mounted
in either a 19- or 23-inch, WECO or EIA, equipment rack.
The RU consists of a sealed aluminum enclosure designed for mounting in either an indoor or
outdoor environment. The RU may be mounted from a pole or the exterior side of a building
with the standard mounting bracket or from a strand with an accessory bracket.

4 DUAL-BAND REMOTE UNIT SCS SYSTEMS
Sections 1 through 3 described the functions and features of a typical SCS system equipped with
one HU and the single-band RU. Each single-band RU is equipped with the electronics to
support one frequency band. If it is necessary to support two frequency bands (such as 800/900
MHz SMR and 1900 MHz) at the same remote location, a dual-band RU can be deployed. A
dual-band RU provides the electronic and optical functionality of two single-band RU’s except
that all the electronic and optical components are housed within a single enclosure.
A dual-band SCS system consists of two standard host units and a dual-band RU that are linked
together over two optical fibers. At the hub site, each HU is connected to a separate EBTS
facility. The dual-band RU supports the frequency bands (such as 800/900 MHz SMR and 1900
MHz) associated with the two connected HU’s. Each HU and the corresponding RU electronics
function independently of each other and may be managed separately using the same element
management system (EMS). Figure 1-9 shows a typical SCS system equipped with a dual-band
RU. One fiber is used to transport the forward/reverse path optical signals for one SCS system.
The other fiber is used to transport the forward/reverse path optical signals for the other SCS
system.

1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the basic components of a typical Digivance SCS system including the
Host Unit (HU), Remote Unit (RU), element management system, and accessories. The system
specifications are provided in a table at the end of this section.
2 HOST UNIT
Two versions of the HU are available. The rear access HU, shown in Figure 2-1, is used with
800/900 MHz SMR systems. The front access HU, also shown in Figure 2-1, is used with 800
and 1900 MHz systems. Connection points for the RF, optical, and alarm cables are provided on
the rear side of the rear access HU and on the front side of the front access HU. Both HU
versions provide the following basic functions:
• Provides a limited adjustable RF interface with the BTS.
• Provides a fiber optic interface with the RU.
• Digitizes the two forward path composite RF signals.
• Converts the two digitized forward path RF signals to a digital optical signal.
• Converts the digitized reverse path optical signal to two digitized RF signals.
• Converts the two digitized reverse path RF signals to two composite RF signals.
• Sends alarm information to an external alarm system through relay contact closures
• Provides an RS-232 interface for connecting the EMS computer.
• Provides a CAN interface for networking multiple HUs.
2.1 Primary Components
The HU consists of an electronic circuit board assembly and a fan assembly that are mounted
within a powder-paint coated sheet metal enclosure. The enclosure provides a mounting point
for the circuit board and fan assemblies and controls RF emissions. The only user-replaceable
component is the fan assembly. The HU is designed for use within a non-condensing indoor
environment such as inside a wiring closet or cabinet. The front access HU is also equipped
with a front cable management tray and vertical cable guides.
2.2 Mounting
The HU is intended for rack-mount applications. A pair of reversible mounting brackets is
provided that allow the HU to be mounted in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO
equipment rack. When the rear access HU is installed, the front panel of the HU is flush with the
front of the rack. When the front access HU is installed, the front panel of the HU is flush with
the front of the rack and the cable management tray extends 3.9 inches (99 mm) beyond the
front panel. Screws are provided for securing the HU to the equipment rack.

2.3 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
The HU detects and reports various internal and external faults including host unit fault, optical
fault, power fault, temperature fault, and RF fault. Various front panel Light Emitting Diode
(LED) indicators turn from green to red or yellow if a fault is detected. A set of alarm contacts
(normally open and normally closed) are provided for reporting an alarm to an external alarm
system when a fault is detected. Both major alarm (system operation seriously affected) and
minor alarm (system operation not affected or only slightly degraded) contacts are provided.

Fault and alarm information may also be accessed locally through the EMS software GUI or
remotely through the NOC/NEM interface or SNMP interface. An alarm history file is
maintained by the EMS software so that a record is kept of all alarms as they occur. This is
useful when an alarm is reported and cleared before the reason for the alarm can be determined.
The status of the HU, the alarm state (major or minor), and other alarm information is
summarized and reported over the service interface, the CAN interface, and the optical interface
to the RU. In addition, the status of the RU is transmitted to the HU over the optical interface
and reported over the service interface and the CAN interface.

ADCP-75-187 • Issue 3 • September 2006 • Section 2: DESCRIPTION
2.4 RF Signal Connections
The RF signal connections between the rear access HU and the EBTS are supported through
four N-type female connectors. Two connectors are used for the forward path RF signals and
two connectors are used for the reverse path RF signals.
The RF signal connections between the front access HU and the EBTS are supported through
two N-type female connectors. One connector is used for the forward path RF signal and the
other connector is used for the reverse path RF signal.
In most installations, it is usually necessary to install external attenuators to support the RF
interface between the HU and the EBTS. The HU should be as close as possible to the EBTS to
minimize coaxial cable losses.
2.5 RF Signal Level Adjustments
The HU is equipped with several attenuators for adjusting the signal levels of the forward and
reverse path RF signals. The attenuators provide an attenuation adjustment range of 0 to 31 dB
and can be set in 1 dB increments. The attenuators are software controlled and are adjusted
through the EMS software GUI, NOC/NEM interface, or SNMP interface.
The host forward path attenuators adjust the level of the input RF signal(s) to the HU. Using
the forward path attenuator, an input signal with a nominal composite signal level of –9 dBm to
–40 dBm can be adjusted to produce maximum power output. Additional external attenuation
is required if the input signal level is greater than –9 dBm.
Note: The optimum composite RF input signal level for 800/900 MHz SMR systems is
–20 dBm.
The host reverse path attenuators adjust the level of the output RF signal(s) from the HU and
will add from –1 dB of gain (attenuator set to 31 dB) to +30 dB of gain (attenuator set to 0 dB)
to the RF output signal(s) at the HU.
2.6 Propagation Delay
The HU forward and reverse path propagation delays may be adjusted in 0.1 μsec increments
within a range of 0 to 63 μs. The propagation delay is software controlled and may be adjusted
through the EMS software GUI, NOC/NEM interface, or SNMP interface.
2.7 Optical Connection
Optical connections between the HU and the RU are supported through two optical ports
equipped with UPC/SC (flat) connectors. One port is used for the forward path optical signal
connection and the other port is used for the reverse path optical signal connection.

2.8 Controller Area Network Interface Connection
Controller Area Network (CAN) interface connections between multiple HUs are supported by
a pair of RJ-45 jacks. One of the jacks is designated as the network IN port and the other jack is
designated as the network OUT port. The CAN interface allows up to 24 HUs to be connected
together (in daisy-chain fashion) and controlled through a single EMS computer.
2.9 Service Interface Connection
The service interface connection between the HU and the EMS computer is supported by a
single DB-9 female connector. The service connector provides an RS-232 DTE interface. When
multiple HUs are networked together, the supporting EMS computer may be connected to the
service connector of any one of the networked HUs.
2.10 Powering
The HU is powered by ± 21 to ± 60 VDC power (nominal ± 24 or ± 48 VDC). The power is fed to
the HU through a screw-down type terminal strip located on the rear side of the unit. Power to
the HU must be supplied through a fuse panel such as the PowerWorx GMT Series Fuse Panel
(available separately). The power circuit for each HU must be protected with a 3 Amp GMT
fuse. An On/Off switch is provided on the HU front panel.
ADCP-75-187 • Issue 3 • September 2006 • Section 2: DESCRIPTION
2.11 Cooling
Continuous airflow for cooling is provided by dual fans mounted on the right side of the HU
housing. A minimum of 3 inches (76 mm) of clearance space must be provided on both the left
and right sides of the HU for air intake and exhaust. An alarm is generated if a high temperature
condition (>50º C/122º F) occurs. The fans may be field-replaced if either fan fails.
2.12 User Interface
The HU user interface consists of the various connectors, switches, terminals, and LEDs that are
provided on the HU front and rear panels. The rear access HU user interface points are
indicated in Figure 2-2 and described in Table 2-1. The front access HU user interface points
are indicated in Figure 2-3 and described in Table 2-2 .

DESCRIPTION
3 REMOTE UNIT
The RU is available in either a single-band or a dual-band version. Both versions of the RU
provide the following basic functions:
• Convert the digitized forward path optical signals to digitized RF signals.
• Convert the digitized forward path RF signals to composite RF signals.
• Digitize the reverse path composite RF signals.
• Convert the digitized reverse path RF signals to digitized optical signals.
• Provide an RF interface (antenna port) for the remote antenna(s).
• Provide an optical interface for the HU.
• Transport alarm, control, and monitoring information to the HU via the optical interface.
• Accept AC power input.
• Provide a visual indication of unit status
3.1 Primary Components
Depending on the version, the RU consists of either two or four electronic assemblies mounted
within an environmentally-sealed cast-aluminum enclosure. The Spectrum Transport Module
(STM) provides optical-to-RF and RF-to-optical conversion and digitizing functions; alarm,
control, and monitoring functions; power conversion functions; RF filtering and interface
functions. The Linear Power Amplifier (LPA) works in conjunction with the STM to amplify

ADCP-75-187 • Issue 3 • September 2006 • Section 2: DESCRIPTION
the forward path RF signal. The aluminum enclosure provides a mounting point for the
electronic assemblies, controls RF emissions, seals out dirt and moisture, and provides passive
cooling. The electronic assemblies are not user replaceable or accessible. All connectors and
indicators are mounted on the bottom of the RU enclosure for easy access.
The single-band version of the RU consists of one STM and one LPA mounted within the same
enclosure. The dual-band version, shown in Figure 2-4, consists of two STM’s and two LPA’s
mounted within the same enclosure. The dual-band version makes it possible to support two
separate frequency bands with a single RU.
Figure 2-4. Dual-Band Remote Unit
3.2 Mounting
The RU may be mounted on a flat vertical surface (such as the side of a building), on a utility pole,
or from a horizontal cable or overhead support. A combination wall/pole mounting bracket is
provided with each unit. A separate strand-mount kit (accessory item) is available if it is necessary
to mount the RU from a cable. Inside-pole mounting and underground vault installations are also
possible. Contact the Wireless TAC (see Section 5) for additional information.
3.3 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
The RU detects and reports various faults including remote unit fault, optical fault, output power
fault, temperature fault, and power amplifier fault. A single bottom-mounted Light Emitting
Diode (LED) indicator turns from off to red if a major fault is detected. The status of the STM
and LPA, the alarm state, and other fault information is summarized and reported over the
optical interface to the HU. Fault and alarm information may be accessed at the HU through the
EMS software GUI or remotely through the NOC/NEM interface or SNMP interface.

3.4 Antenna Cable Connection
The antenna cable connection between the RU and the antenna is supported through either one
(single-band RU) or two (dual-band RU) 50-ohm N-type female connectors. The antenna cable/
cables carry the forward and reverse path RF signals between each antenna and RU. An
externally-mounted lightning protector is available as an accessory. The antenna connector on
the lightning protector may be either an N-type female connector or a 7/16 mm DIN connector.
The RU enclosure must be properly grounded for the lighting protector to function properly. On
an optional basis, the dual-band RU may be equipped with one N-type connector (and internal
diplexor) to support operation with a single antenna.
3.5 RF Signal Level Adjustment
The RU is equipped with digital attenuators for adjusting the signal level of the forward path RF
output signals. The remote forward path attenuators adjust the level of the two output RF
signals at the RU antenna port and will add from 0 to 31 dB of attenuation to the output signal
level. The attenuator can be set in 1 dB increments. The attenuator is software controlled and is
adjusted through the EMS software GUI, the NOC/NEM interface, or SNMP interface.
ADCP-75-187 • Issue 3 • September 2006 • Section 2: DESCRIPTION
3.6 Optical Connection
Fiber optic connections between the single-band RU and the associated HU are supported
through a single hardened optical port. All single-band RU’s are equipped with an internally
mounted Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM). This allows a single optical port to provide
the optical fiber connection for the combined forward and reverse path signals.
Fiber optic connections between the dual-band RU and the two associated HU’s (two HU’s are
required with a dual-band RU) are supported through two hardened optical ports. All dual-band
RU’s are equipped with two internally-mounted WDM’s. One port provides the optical fiber
connection for the combined forward and reverse path signals for HU #1. The other port provides
the optical fiber connection for the combined forward and reverse path signals for HU #2.
Each hardened optical port houses an SC adapter. A standard APC/SC type connector is
connected to the internal side of the adapter. The optical port accepts drop cables that are
terminated with APC/SC hardened connectors. The optical port is also compatible with OptiTap
connectors manufactured by Corning Incorporated.
3.7 Powering
The RU is powered by 90 to 265 VAC (nominal 120 or 240 VAC), 47 to 63 Hz power. On an
optional basis, the RU may be powered by 60 to 89 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz power. The power is
supplied through a 20-foot three-wire AC power cable that is provided with the RU. The power
cable connects to a mini 3-pin power connector mounted on the bottom of the RU enclosure.
The stub end of the cable must be hard-wired to the AC power source. The power cable is rated
for indoor or outdoor use and must not be routed through conduit. Accessory power cables are
also available separately in lengths of 40, 60, or 100 feet.

3.8 Grounding
A grounding terminal (hex socket capscrew and washer) is provided on the bottom of the
enclosure for connecting a grounding cable to the enclosure. A 1.5 meter #6 stranded copper
wire terminated with a ring terminal is provided with the RU for linking the enclosure to an
earth ground source.
3.9 Cooling
Passive cooling of the electronic assemblies is provided by conducting excess heat from the
electronic components to the aluminum enclosure. The heat is dissipated to the outside air by
radiation and convection air flow over the enclosure’s external cooling fins. An alarm is
generated if a high temperature condition occurs within the enclosure. If necessary, the RU may
be equipped with solar shields (accessory) that reduce the effect of solar loading on the
aluminum enclosure.
3.10 User Interface
The RU user interface consists of the connectors, grounding lug, and LED that are provided on
the bottom of the RU enclosure. The user interface points for the single-band RU are indicated
in Figure 2-5 and described in Tab le 2 -3 . The user interface points for the interim single-band

4.3 Solar Shields
A solar shield kit is available if the RU must be mounted in full sunlight for extended periods of
time with extremely high ambient temperatures. The solar shields attach to the exterior of the
RU enclosure and shade the enclosure from direct exposure to the sun. The solar shields are
constructed of sheet metal and are painted to match the color of the RU enclosure. All fasteners
and brackets required for installation are provided with the kit.
5 DIGIVANCE ELEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Digivance Element Management System (EMS) is a software-based network management
tool that provides control and monitoring functions for the Digivance system. The Digivance
EMS is used to provision and configure new systems for operation, set system operating
parameters, get system alarm and status messages, and upgrade the system software. The EMS
supports local control by an on-site service technician and also remote control through either a
Network Operations Center (NOC) interface or an SNMP interface.
5.1 Digivance EMS Primary Components
ADCP-75-187 • Issue 3 • September 2006 • Section 2: DESCRIPTION
The primary components of the Digivance EMS, shown in Figure 2-7, are packaged separately
from the various Digivance hardware items and consist of the following items: User Manuals,
mouse pad, license agreement, and either one or two CD-ROM’s which contain the various
elements of the software. The software installs on a PC-type computer which is not provided. A
cable (DGVL-000000CBPC) for connecting the EMS computer to the HU is available
separately as an accessory item.

Page 2-15
ADCP-75-187 • Issue 3 • September 2006 • Section 2: DESCRIPTION
EMS Software: The EMS software and the Java 2 Runtime Environment software are loaded
on a CD-ROM. The EMS software provides local monitor and control functions through a
Graphical User Interface (GUI) and remote monitor and control functions through the NOC/
NEM interface.
SNMP Proxy Agent Software: The SNMP Proxy Agent software (when included) is loaded on
a CD-ROM. The SNMP Proxy Agent together with the EMS provides for remote monitor and
control functions through a network SNMP manager. When the SNMP interface is required for
system operation, both the EMS software and SNMP Proxy Agent software must be installed on
the same computer. The SNMP Proxy Agent software will not function without the EMS
software.
Control Programs: The host and remote control programs are installed by the factory in each
respective host unit or RU. Updated versions of the host and remote control program software
will be provided by Customer Service on a “as needed” basis.
5.2 Software Installation
Software installation consists of inserting each specified CD-ROM into the computer’s CDROM drive and then running the software install programs. This places the EMS, Java 2
Runtime Environment, and SNMP Proxy Agent (if included) software files in assigned folders
on the computer’s hard drive. Software installation instructions are provided in the Digivance
Element Management System User Manual (See Related Publications section).
5.3 Computer Operation
Permanent control and monitoring functions may be provided by a PC-type desk-top computer
that is permanently connected to a HU. The EMS program must be running in order for the
NOC interface to function. Both the EMS program and SNMP Proxy Agent program must be
running in order for the SNMP interface to function. A PC-type lap-top computer running just
the EMS program can be used as a portable network management tool for service and
maintenance purposes. The laptop computer may be connected temporarily to the HU to
trouble-shoot problems on-site and then removed when the maintenance task is completed. The
specifications for the EMS computer are provided in the Digivance Element Management
System User Manual (See Related Publications section).
5.4 Digivance EMS Computer Interface Connections
The service interface connection between the EMS computer and the HU requires that the EMS
computer be equipped with a DB-9 connector that is configured to provide an RS-232 DCE
interface. A straight-through RS-232 interface cable (accessory item) equipped with a male DB9 connector on one end and a PC-compatible connector on the other end is required to link the
EMS computer to the HU.
The NOC interface connection between the EMS computer and the NOC requires that the EMS
computer be equipped with a connector that is configured to provide an RS-232 ASCII
interface. The link between the EMS computer and the NOC would generally be supported by a
Page 2-16
© 2006, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
T1 system, DS0 with RS232 conversion, or other medium. Cables and equipment (not provided)
to support the RS-232 interface connection between the EMS computer and the NOC interface
are required.
The SNMP interface connection between the EMS computer and the SNMP manager requires
that the EMS computer be equipped with an Ethernet port. The link between the EMS computer
and a network SNMP manager would generally be supported by a Local Area Network (LAN).
Cables and equipment (not provided) to support the connection between the EMS computer and
the LAN are required.
5.5 Digivance Software User Interfaces
The Digivance EMS provides three software user interfaces: the EMS Graphical User Interface
(GUI), the Network Operation Center–Network Element Manager (NOC/NEM) interface, and
the SNMP interface. The EMS GUI, the NOC interface, and the SNMP interface provide the
same basic functions. However, the NOC interface and the SNMP interface cannot be used to
download new system software to the Digivance system. In addition, the SNMP interface
cannot be used to assign a system site number to a HU/RU pair during installation.
ADCP-75-187 • Issue 3 • September 2006 • Section 2: DESCRIPTION
The EMS GUI is used for local control and monitoring operations. The EMS GUI consists of a
series of displays and screens, such as the one shown in Figure 2-8, that provide the user with
alarm and status information and that allow the user to set various operating parameters.
Directives are implemented by pointing and clicking on the desired action and also by entering
text in various dialog boxes. Refer to the Digivance Element Management System User Manual
(see Related Publications section) for additional information.

Page 2-17
ADCP-75-187 • Issue 3 • September 2006 • Section 2: DESCRIPTION
The NOC/NEM interface is a text-based command line interface that is used for remote control
and monitoring operations (except software download). The NOC/NEM interface consists of
defined ASCII text strings that are input as SET or GET commands followed by the action or
information required. A text string response is received from the specified Digivance system or
systems to confirm the requested action or to report the requested information. Examples of
several typical NOC-NEM interface commands and the responses received are shown in
Figure 2-9. The NOC/NEM interface requires only a VT100 terminal/emulator or a PC-type
computer that is loaded with a communication software such as Procomm Plus. While primarily
intended for use at the NOC, the NOC/NEM interface commands may also be input locally
from the EMS computer. Refer to the Digivance Element Management System User Manual
(see Related Publications section) for additional information.
The SNMP interface is used for remote control and monitoring operations (except software
download and site number assignment). The SNMP interface uses a Management
Information Base (MIB) to define a list of identifiers that are supported by the SNMP agent.
The SNMP manager communicates with the SNMP agent over a LAN. Directives, based on the
MIB identifier, are issued by the SNMP manager to the SNMP agent along with instructions to
either get the specified identifier or set the specified identifier. The directive is then executed on
the Digivance system by the SNMP agent. The SNMP agent also has the ability to send
autonomous messages (called traps) to the SNMP manager to report changes in the status of the
managed system. The SNMP manager Stargazer Version 8.0 is available from ADC for use with
the SNMP agent. Other SNMP managers are available from various network management
software venders. Refer to the SNMP Agent Software User Manual (see Related Publications
section) for additional information.
