4.1 Primary Components
The STM consists of an electronic circuit board assembly, power supply, duplexer, and fan
assembly that are mounted within a powder-coated sheet metal enclosure. The metal enclosure
provides a mounting point for the electronic components and controls RF emissions. Except for
the fan unit, the electronic components are not user replaceable. The STM is designed for use
within the RU cabinet. Except for the LPA interface connector, all controls, connectors,
indicators, and switches are mounted on the STM front panel for easy access. A carrying handle
is provided on the front of the STM to facilitate installation and transport.
4.2 Mounting
The STM mounts on a shelf within the RU cabinet. A runner on the bottom of the STM meshes
with a track on the mounting shelf. The runner and track guide the STM into the installed
position. The electrical interface between the STM and LPA is supported by a D-sub female
connector located on the rear side of the STM. A corresponding D-sub male connector mounted
at the rear of the RU cabinet mounting shelf mates with the STM connector. Captive screws are
provided for securing the STM to the mounting shelf.
ADCP-75-126 • Issue B • April 2002 • Section 2: Description
4.3 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
The STM detects and reports various faults including remote unit fault, optical fault, power
fault, temperature fault, power amplifier fault, and external (door open) fault. Various front
panel Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators turn from green to red or yellow if a fault is
detected. The status of the STM, the alarm state (major or minor), and other alarm information
is summarized and reported over the optical fiber to the HU and also over the service interface.
In addition, the alarm state of the HU is received over the optical fiber and reported to the
service interface. This information may be accessed remotely through the NOC/NEM interface
or locally through the EMS software GUI.
4.4 Antenna Cable Connection
The antenna cable connections between the STM and the antenna are supported through either
one (non-diversity unit) or two (diversity unit) N-type female connectors. On non-diversity
units, a single connector is used for the antenna cable which carries both the forward and
primary reverse path RF signals. On diversity units, a second connector is used for the diversity
antenna cable which carries only the diversity reverse path RF signals. The STM does not
connect directly to the antenna but instead connects to a lightning protector that is mounted on
the bottom of the RU cabinet (see Section 3.5). A coaxial jumper cable is provided (included
with the enclosure) for connecting the STM connector to the lightning protector.
4.5 RF Signal Level Adjustment
The STM is equipped with a digital attenuator for adjusting the signal level of the forward path
RF output signal. The remote forward path attenuator adjusts the level of the output RF signal
at the RU antenna port and will add from 0 to 30 dB of attenuation to the output signal level.

Page 2-13

ADCP-75-126 • Issue B • April 2002 • Section 2: Description
The attenuator can be set in 1 dB increments. The attenuator is software controlled and is
adjusted through the NOC/NEM interface or the EMS software GUI.
4.6 Optical Connection
Fiber optic connections between the STM and the HU are supported through either two (nondiversity unit) or three (diversity unit) SC-type optical connector ports. On non-diversity units,
one port is used for connecting the forward path optical signal and the other port is used for
connecting the primary reverse path optical signal. On diversity units, a third optical port is used
for connecting the diversity reverse path optical signal.
4.7 Service Interface Connection
The service interface connection between the STM and a local laptop computer loaded with the
EMS software is supported by a single DB-9 female connector. The service interface connector
provides an RS-232 DTE interface. The STM service interface connector supports local
communications with both the STM and the corresponding HU.
4.8 Powering
The STM is powered by 120 or 240 Vac (50 or 60 Hz) power which is supplied through a threeconductor AC power cord. The power cord is provided with the RU cabinet. One end of the cord
is hard-wired to the AC power outlet box and the other end is terminated with a molded-on plug
cap. The power cord connects to a 3-wire AC cord connector mounted on the STM front panel.
A switch on the STM front panel provides AC power On/Off control.
The STM (and the connected LPA) may be powered by a 24 Vdc back-up battery system which
is available as an accessory kit. A connector is provided on the STM front panel for connecting
the wiring harness for the back-up battery system.
4.9 Cooling
Continuous air-flow for cooling is provided by a single fan mounted on the rear side of the STM
housing. An alarm is provided that indicates if a high temperature condition (>50º C/122º F)
occurs. If the temperature falls below 32º F (0º C), the fan automatically shuts off. The fan may
be field replaced if it fails.
4.10 User Interface
The STM user interface consists of the various connectors, switches, and LEDs that are
provided on the STM front panel. The STM user interface points are indicated in Figure 2-6 and
described in Table 2-3.

6 DIGIVANCE ELEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Digivance Element Management System (EMS) is a network management tool that provides
control and monitoring functions for the Digivance LRCS system. The 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 both local control by an
on-site service technician and remote control by a Network Operations Center (NOC).
6.1 Primary Components
The EMS, shown in Figure2-9, consists of a PC-type desk-top computer (not provided) that is
loaded with the EMS software. The EMS software is stored on a CD-ROM that is shipped with
the HU. The EMS software must be installed on the EMS computer along with the Java 2
Version 1.3.1 Runtime Environment software which is also provided. Installation consists of
inserting the CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM drive and then running the software install
programs. This places the Java 2 Runtime Environment and EMS software files in assigned
folders on the computer’s hard drive.

ADCP-75-126 • Issue B • April 2002 • Section 2: Description
OR
PLUS
16803-A
The EMS software may also be installed on a PC-type lap-top computer (not provided). A laptop version of the EMS computer can be used as a portable network management tool for
service and maintenance purposes. A laptop EMS can be connected temporarily to a system to
enter the initial configuration data or to trouble-shoot problems and then removed when the task
is completed. Permanent control and monitoring functions would be provided by the desk-top
EMS computer.
6.2 Service Interface Connection
The service interface connection between the EMS computer and the HU or RU 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 DB-9 connector on one end and a PC-compatible connector on the other end is required to
link the EMS computer to the HU. When multiple HUs are networked together, the EMS
computer may be connected to the service connector on any one of the networked HUs.

6.3 NOC Interface Connection
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
data network or dial-up modem. Cables and equipment (not provided) to support the RS-232
interface connection between the EMS computer and the data network or dial-up modem are
required.

6.4 EMS Software User Interface
The EMS software provides two user interfaces: the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and the
Network Operation Center-Network Element Manager (NOC/NEM) interface. Both interfaces
provide essentially the same functionality except only the GUI can upgrade the LRCS system
with new system software. In addition, only the NOC/NEM interface can record and playback
alarm data.
The GUI is presented at the EMS computer or on a laptop computer. The GUI is used for local
control and monitoring operations. The GUI consists of a series of displays and screens, such as
the one shown in Figure 2-10, that provide the user with alarm and status information and that
allow the user to set various operating parameters.
ADCP-75-126 • Issue B • April 2002 • Section 2: Description
Figure 2-10. EMS Graphical User Interface Host/Remote Display
The NOC/NEM interface is a command line interface that is presented at an NOC terminal. The
NOC/NEM interface is used for remote control and monitoring operations. The NOC/NEM
interface consists of ASCII text strings that are input as SET or GET commands which are
followed by the action or information required. A text string response is received from the
specified LRCS 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 2-11. 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 from the EMS computer.

1 BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION
This section provides the installation procedures for the HU, the WDM mounting shelf
(accessory item), and the WDM (accessory item). Installation of the RU cabinet and RU
electronic modules may proceed separately from installation of the HU. The installation
procedures for the single band remote cabinet are provided in the Digivance Long-Range
Coverage Solution Single Band Remote Cabinet Mounting Instructions (ADCP-75-117) which
are shipped with the cabinet. The installation procedures for the STM and LPA electronic
modules are provided in the Digivance Long-Range Coverage Solution Remote Unit
Installation Instructions which are shipped with the STM. When all units of the Digivance
LRCS have been installed, refer to Section 4 of this manual for the system turn-up and test
procedures.
Before beginning the installation, review the system design plan with the system engineer.
Make sure each equipment installation site is identified and located and all cable runs are
mapped out.

1.2 Unpacking and Inspection
This section provides instructions for opening the shipping boxes, verifying that all parts have
been received, and verifying that no shipping damage has occurred. Use the following
procedure to unpack and inspect the HU and any accessories:
1. Open the shipping cartons and carefully unpack each component from the protective
packing material.
2. Check each component for broken or missing parts. If there are damages, contact ADC
(see section 6 at the end of this manual) for an RMA (Return Material Authorization) and
to reorder if replacement is required.
2 OSP FIBER CABLE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The outside plant (OSP) fiber optic cables should be routed between the HU and RU and
terminated before the equipment is installed. A diagram of a typical OSP cable routing is shown
in Figure 3-1. At the HU, the OSP cable should be terminated at a fiber distribution panel and
spliced to pigtails. Jumper patch cords may then be used to link the HU optical ports to the OSP
cable terminations. Whenever possible, a guideway such as the FiberGuide system should be
provided to protect the fiber optic patch cords from damage and to prevent excessive bending.
The procedures for connecting the OSP cable optical fibers to the HU is provided in Section 7.

Figure 3-1. Typical OSP Cable Routing
At the RU, the OSP fiber optic cable should be spliced to a connectorized outdoor-rated cable
(consisting of individual jacketed pigtails) which is routed into the RU cabinet. The individual
pigtails can then be connected directly to the STM optical ports. A connector is provided on the
bottom of the RU cabinet to seal the cable entry point and provide strain relief. The procedure
for routing the fiber cable into the RU cabinet and for connecting the pigtail leads to the STM is
provided in the Digivance LRCS Single Band SMR Remote Unit Installation Instructions
(ADCP-75-122).
When all splices and terminations are completed, test each fiber for optical loss as described in
Section 5 of this document. The optical loss budget for 9/125, single-mode fiber is 25 dB
minimum for an optical BER of 10
-6
. The power level of the received optical signal should not
exceed –15 dBm to avoid overdriving the optical receiver. If necessary, use an in-line optical
attenuator to adjust the signal level.

3 WDM MOUNTING PROCEDURE (OPTIONAL ACCESSORY)
A bi-directional wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) is available as an accessory item for
non-diversity versions of the Digivance LRCS. If the application does not require the use of a
WDM, skip this section and proceed to Section 4.
The version of the WDM that is used with the HU consists of one or two WDM modules and a
WDM mounting shelf. Each WDM module can support two HU’s and each WDM mounting
shelf can hold two WDM modules. A fully loaded WDM mounting shelf can therefore support
four HU’s.
When multiple HU’s require connection to a WDM, the WDM mounting shelf and the HU’s
should be mounted in the equipment rack as shown in Figure 3-2. This configuration allows the
pigtail leads from the two WDM modules to be connected directly to the optical ports on any
one of the four HU’s.

The WDM mounting shelf may be mounted in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO
equipment rack. Four #12-24 screws are provided for securing the mounting shelf to the rack.
Use the following procedure to install the WDM mounting shelf in the equipment rack and to
mount the WDM modules in the WDM mounting shelf:
1. The WDM mounting shelf is shipped with the mounting brackets installed for 19-inch EIA
rack installations. If installing the mounting shelf in a 19-inch EIA rack, proceed to step 5.
If installing the mounting shelf in a 19-inch WECO rack, a 23-inch EIA rack, or a 23-inch
WECO rack, proceed to step 2.

2. Remove both mounting brackets from the mounting shelf (requires Phillips screwdriver)
and save screws for reuse.
3. Locate the extra mounting brackets that are provided with the mounting shelf and select
the brackets that correspond to the rack type. Each mounting shelf includes extra brackets
for installing the mounting shelf in the rack types specified in step 1.
4. Install the replacement mounting brackets as shown in Figure 3-3. Use the screws
removed in step 2 to attach the new brackets to the mounting shelf.

5. Position the WDM mounting shelf in the designated mounting space in the rack (per
system design plan) and then secure the mounting brackets to the rack using the four #1224 machine screws provided as shown in Figure3-4.
6. Install each WDM module in the mounting shelf (see Figure 3-4). A rail on the side of the
module fits into a guide within the mounting.
7. Secure each WDM module to the mounting shelf by twisting the handle on each quarterturn fastener 90º.
8. Carefully store the pigtail leads from each WDM module. The routing and connection
procedures for the pigtails are provided in Section 7.
