1.2 BASIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS
A very basic Prism system consists of a Host Unit (Host) and a Remote Unit (Remote):
•• The Host is a three rack unit high chassis with multiple cards that mounts in a
standard equipment rack.
•• The Remote consists of multiple electronic and optical modules mounted in an
outdoor enclosure.
On an optional basis, the Prism system supports reverse path diversity. In addition,
various accessory items including a passive Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM)
system, Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer (CWDM) system, and expansion
panels are available as accessories.
Control and monitoring functions are provided by the FlexWave Element
Management System (EMS).
Some examples of FlexWave Prism Systems are shown in Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2,
Figure 1-3.

1.3 MULTI-HOST SYSTEMS
ADC’s FlexWave Prism provides a Multi-Host feature that allows a Prism Remote to be
shared by multiple Host Units. To accomplish this:
•• One Host is designated as the IP Manager for a set of Remotes; this Host can serve
as IP manager for multiple Remotes. As the IP Manager, the managing Host
controls the exchange of management data with the Remote(s).
•• There is no Host to Host connectivity.
•• A Prism Remote can receive bands over multiple fibers that originate on different
Hosts. However, only one Host, the IP Manager, can manage the Remote. If a Host
attempts to manage a Remote already under the management of an IP Manager,
the second Host causes an IP Conflict fault (see “Viewing Host SeRF Optical Ports”
on page 224).
•• All the Hosts in a Multi-Host network can be configured to serve as clock master.
Each Host will be configured with a priority level in the range of
with the priority level of
distributes the clock in the network. If the Host
designated as clock master fails or shuts down, the Host with the next highest
priority level takes over. (For information on setting the master clock, see “Set the
Clock Priority Level” on page 150.)

•• The Host that manages the Remote must be able to provision one or more
passbands on that Remote for which the Host does not have a DART card. Remote
DARTs are linked back to one or more Hosts in a Multi-Host system.

1.4.2 DARTs and Remote Units
The Remote DARTs are encased in its RF Module. Each RF Module will have up to two
Classic DARTs or Single SuperDARTs, or one Dual SuperDART, and there can be up to:
•• one RF Module in a Single-Band chassis
•• two RF Modules in a Dual-Band chassis
•• three RF Modules in a Tri-Band chassis
•• four RF Modules in a Quad-Band chassis.
The Remote DART Interface cards (RDI) and the Remote SeRF interface board (RSI)
provide Remote SeRF and DART connectivity for the Prism high speed digital
connections. The configuration of the DART cards provide the RF spectrum.

Fiber Optic Transport
1.6 FIBER OPTIC TRANSPORT
In a typical Prism system the Host is connected to the Remote using two single-mode
optical fibers. One fiber is used to transport the forward pathh optical signal and a
second fiber is used to transport the rev erse pathh optical signal. With the diversity
option, the div ersity rev erse pathh optical signal is sent on the same reverse path
fiber. (However, the diversity signal can also be transmitted on a separate fiber pair
if more than 12 timeslots are required at a single Remote.) Because the optical signal
is digital, the input and output RF signal levels at the Host or the Remote are not
dependent on the level of the optical signal or the length of the optical fiber. A
diagram of the standard fiber optic transport system for both a non-diversity and
diversity system is shown in Figure 1-9.
The maximum length of the optical links is dependent on the loss specifications of
the optical fiber and the losses imposed by the various connectors and splices. The
system provides an optical budget of 25 dBB (typical) when used with 9/125
single-mode fiber. There must be at least 10 dB of optical loss to prevent over-driving
and possible damage to the optical receiver.

The SeRF (Serialized RF) digital protocol consists of digitized RF, Fast Ethernet, and
Host to Remote communication and management. The protocol provides you with
full access to the 100BASE-T (Ethernet) connection between the Host and each
Remote, and the ability to provision the RF spectrum of the DARTs. The digitized RF
portion of the SeRF protocol is divided into 12 timeslots, with each timeslot
representing roughly 5 MHz of digitized RF spectrum. Utilizing the full 12 timeslots
yields between 60 and 75 MHz of total digitized RF on each SeRF Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) laser connection.

Timeslots Versus Bandwidth
1.7 TIMESLOTS VERSUS BANDWIDTH
Ea ch fiber p air supports 12 timeslots, or up to 75 MHz of bandwidth. Table 1-2 shows
the maximum bandwidth versus the number of timeslots.
If more than 70 MHz is required per Remote, up to three additional fiber pairs can be
brought to the Remote to get up to up to 280MHz per Remote (or 300MHz if all four
are GSM-1800). This supports applications where there are two Classic DARTs or
Single SuperDARTs or one Dual SuperDART in a Remote RF Module.
The SeRF (Serialized RF) digital protocol consists of digitized RF, 100BASE-T Ethernet,
and Host to Remote communication and management. The protocol provides you
with full access to the 100BASE-T Ethernet connection between the Host and each
Remote, and the ability to provision the RF spectrum of the DARTs. The digitized RF
portion of the SeRF protocol is divided into 12 timeslots, with each timeslot
representing roughly 5 MHz of digitized RF spectrum. Utilizing the full 12 timeslots
yields between 60 and 80 MHz of total digitized RF on each SeRF SFP laser connection.

1.8 BANDWIDTHS
In the FlexWave Prism system, there are different Bandwidths from which to select,
ranging from 5 to 75 MHz. The different bandwidths allow you to configure the
system to use any contiguous or non-contiguous blocks within the 35 MHz of a single
Host 6-timeslot DART or 60-75 MHz using a 12-timeslot DART. DART bandwidth
options are shown in Table 1-3.
For DART cards, if you need to use non-contiguous blocks within a given 35 MHz,
then the selected bandwidth must span both of these blocks, even if the blocks in
between are not used. For example, if you want to use both PCS DD and EE blocks, select
the BB block is effectively unused.
PCS D and E are only 10 MHz of spectrum, four timeslots are required since the actual
transported spe
, which spans 25 MHz. This allows both PCS DD & EE to be transported and
ctrum is 25 MHz for the PCS D, B, E block, as shown in Table 1-3.

1.9 AWS AND PCS BAND OPTIONS
The Dual-AWS and Dual-PCS DARTs allow you to span non-contiguous bands:
•• the Dual-AWS DART comprises two 6-Timeslot AWS DARTs that span the full 45
MHz of the AWS band
•• the Dual-PCS DART provides two PCS blocks over the entire 70 MHz PCS
spectrum.
In the forward path, the two Remote DARTs are summed together before being sent
to the Linear Power Amplifier (LPA). In the reverse direction, the Low Noise Amplifier
(LNA) is split providing the full PCS or AWS spectrum to each DART. Each DART is
responsible for transporting its own spectrum, as shown in an the following example
for a PCS configuration.
Page 24 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference
© 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/2009
AWS and PCS Band Options
PCS Configuration Example:
If the application requires both the A and C block, in the Remote the forward path of
the PCS A band is combined with the forward path of the PCS C band and these
signals are sent to the LPA to be amplified. In the reverse direction, the Duplexer/LNA
passes/amplifies the entire PCS band. The first DART digitizes the PCS A block
reverse path and the second DART digitizes the PCS C block reverse path and then
sends them back to the Host to be reconstructed back into RF.
The installer needs to provide the separate connections at the Host location either by
splitting already combined signals to/from each DART, or by providing them
independently.
If the tw o PCS reverse path blocks are combined at the Host location, then they must be
separated by
other during the re- combin
at least 5 MHz to insure that the reverse paths do not interfere with each
ing.

2.1 FLEXWAVE PRISM FAMILY OVERVIEW
The ADC FlexWave Prism family of products is a Distributed Antenna System (DAS)
that provides ADC’s patented technology—bidirectional transport of digitized RF
spectrum over fiber. The high-speed digitalization of a wideband portion of spectrum
allows for transport of RF signals over extended distances, without the RF
degradation that normally results when analog systems are impacted by optical
effects. The basic function of the FlexWave Prism platform is to transport via fiber
optic cable RF signals from a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) to an antenna interface
allowing communication to a mobile device. Multiple BTS communication paths are
allowed over a single Prism system. Each link consists of a Host that provides the
interface between the base station RF ports and the optical fiber, and at least one
Remote that provides the interface between the optical fiber and the remote antenna.
A block diagram of the system is shown in Figure 2-1.

2.2 FLEXWAVE PRISM HOST UNITS
The Host is designed for maximum RF flexibility to address Carriers’ changing and
evolving spectrum needs, making the most use of cost efficient resources for serving
multiple remotes such as simulcast architecture and sharing of common functions
such as power, control and management over multiple Hosts. Each Host may be
interfaced with one or more Base Transceiver Station (BTS). Each BTS provides the RF
channel inputs and outputs for a designated sector.
The Host is designed as a compact package that reduces rack space required within
a BTS Hotel. The Host is a three rack-unit high single-unit assembly that mounts in a
standard 19- or 23-inch equipment rack. Its front access interfaces with the BTS for
transport to subtended Remotes, and performs the analog to digital and electrical to
optical conversions for transport to a Host and subtended Remotes. Each Host can
support up to eight Remotes. The Remote is a modular self-contained outdoor
enclosure that houses various electronic components.
2.2.1 Host Front Panel.
The Host is designed for use within a non-condensing indoor environment such as
inside a wiring closet or controlled environment cabinet. All controls, connectors, and
indicators (except the grounding point) are mounted on the Host front panel and
allows vertical cable guides to be installed over the mounting brackets on either side.
The Host user interface on its front panel comprises the connectors, switches,
terminals, and LEDs that are described in Figure 2-3 and Table 2-1.
The Host can be mounted in either a 19- inch or 23- inch EIA or WECO equipment rack.
Unless noted other
brackets in the 23- inch position. The defa
wise, v iew s of the Host in this document show the mounting
ult is the 19- inch position.

2.2.2 Host Network Connection
The SeRF front panel has a Network port that creates a network connection between
the Host and the network to monitor and configure the FlexWave Prism system
through the FlexWave EMS.
The network interface connection between the Host and the network is supported by
a Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) RJ-45 jack with integrated green ACTIVITY and
LINK LEDs. The Network port supports a maximum cable length of 100 meters (328
feet) to a switch or back-to-back nodes. CAT5 or better cable should be used when
making this connection. The Ethernet connection should not be connected to an
Ethernet circuit used outside the building.
For further information on using the Network port and the FlexWave EMS, see
“System Setup and Management.”
2.2.3 Host RF Signal Connections
The RF signal connections between the Host DART cards and the BTS are supported
through two (FWD RF IN and REV RF OUT) QMA-Type female connectors. One
connector is used for the forward path RF signal. The other connector is used for the
reverse path RF signal. In some installations, it may be necessary to install a
Conditioning Panel and/or Duplexing Panel (accessory items) to support the interface
between the Host and the BTS. The Host should be as close as possible to the BTS to
minimize cable losses.

2.2.4 Host System Card
The System Card contains the fan controller, the clocking circuitry (internal or
external), the temperature sensor and the DCC contacts. Its front panel provides
connections for alarm outputs, 10 MHz output, and status LEDs. This card may be
used to provide a 10 MHz clock reference to which the SeRF's Master clock is
frequency locked from the internal crystal oscillator. When the internal clock is not
used the clock can be obtained from an external 10 MHz input.

2.3 PRISM REMOTE UNITS
The Remote, shown in Figure 2-4, controls RF emissions, interfaces with the FlexWave
Host and performs the optical to electrical conversions for transport to the antennas.
The Remote is an environmentally-sealed unit that houses the electronic assemblies
such as the DART board and the Power Amplifier, and seals out dirt and moisture.
The Prism uses fans located on the top of each unit to cool the chassis. The antenna
cable connectors, fiber connectors, AC power connector, and the unit status indicator
are located on the bottom of the unit.

ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/2009 © 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
Prism System Components
The FlexWave Remote supports or provides the following basic functions:
•• Receives on the forward path the digitized spectrum from the Host and converts
the spectrum back into an RF signal to be distributed via an externally mounted
antenna system. On the reverse path, the Remote digitizes the designated RF
spectrum and digitally transports it over single mode fiber or Millimeter Wave
(MMW) to the Host.
•• Provides RF interface (antenna port) for the antennas.
•• Accepts AC power input.
2.3.1 Handset Interface
The Remote interfaces with the handsets (cell phones) through an antenna. In the
reverse path, the Remote receives RF signals from each handset (see Figure 1-3 on
page 9). The Remote digitizes the RF signals and then converts them to digital optical
signals for transport to the Host over the optical fiber link. In the forward path, the
Remote receives digital optical signals from the Host. The Remote converts the
optical signals to RF signals for transmission to the handsets.
2.3.2 Remote Components
Prism Remotes are shipped ready to accept easy to install RF Modules. The following

2.3.2.3 Remote Power Supply and Cable Assembly
The Remote is powered by 100 to 240 VAC (nominal 120 or 240 VAC), 50 to 60 Hz
power. The AC power is supplied through a 15-foot (4.6m) three-wire power cable
that is provided with the unit. The power cable connects to a 3-pin AC power
connector mounted on the bottom of the Remote.
The stub end of the power cable must be routed to an external junction box (not
provided) for connection to the AC power source. A circuit breaker rated at 20 Amps
(120 VAC) should be used to provide over-current protection for the Prism power
circuit. It is also recommended that an external AC outlet (not provided) be installed
near the Remote to power test equipment and tools.
The Remote model determines the number of power supplies.
•• The Single-Band Remote is powered by one power supply.
•• The Dual-Band Remote is powered by two power supplies.
•• The Tri- and Quad-Band Remotes are powered by three power supplies.
There are up to four switches that independently control DC power for each RF
Module. These switches are labeled MOD A, MOD B, MOD C, and MOD D and
correspond to the RF Module shelves, from bottom to top, that are labeled the same.

lice it. Do not use a splicer that uses light to align the cores.
2.3.2.8 Remote Antenna Cable Connections
The TX0/RX0 antenna cable connections are through 50-ohm N-type female
connectors. The Remote includes an internal Duplexer which allows a single antenna
cable to carry both forward and reverse path RF signals between the antenna and the
Remote. The RX1 diversity antenna cable connections are through 50-ohm N-type
female connectors.
2.3.2.9 Remote Grounding
A double-ground stud and ring lug is supplied with the unit. A #6 copper wire
terminated with the provided ring terminal must be provided to link the Remote to
an earth ground source.
For proper and safe equipment operation, an approved earth ground connection must
be provided. The re
commended minimum w ire size is #6 AWG copper wire.
2.3.2.10 Remote Cooling
The electronic compartment of the Prism is sealed to the environment. Prism
conducts its heat to a rear heat sink and the front doors. Two external
environmentally hardened fans are controlled and monitored by the system. When
turned on, these fans pull air over the external surfaces of the enclosure to ensure
the electronics run within their rated temperature. The fans run at three different
speeds depending on the internal temperature of the system. An alarm is generated
if a high temperature condition occurs within the enclosure.
The maximum ambient operating temp is 50°C (122°F).

2.4 PRISM SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
This section provides a brief description of various accessory items that are available
separately. The accessory items may or may not be required depending on the
application.
2.4.1 Lightning Surge Suppressor (Remote Accessory)
An externally-mounted lightning surge suppressor is available separately as an
accessory for the Remote. To reduce the chance of damage to electronic components
should a lightning strike occur, install a lightning surge suppressor at each antenna
port that connects to an outdoor antenna. The surge/antenna connector on the
lightning suppressor is an N-type female connector. The Prism Remote Unit must be
properly grounded for the lighting surge suppressor to function properly.
2.4.2 Uninterruptible Power Supply (Accessory)
Any power interruption without an external Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
system will potentially result in an RF power outage. If a UPS is required it should be
designed into the site plan during the engineering process.
2.4.3 Wavelength Division Multiplexer System
(Accessory)
In some applications, it may be desirable or necessary to combine the forward path
and reverse path optical signals from a single Host/Remote pair onto a single optical
fiber. This can be accomplished by using a passive bi-directional Wavelength Division
Multiplexer (WDM) system. The optical wavelengths used in the Prism 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 application is shown in Figure 2-15.

2.4.4 Course Wavelength Division Multiplexer System
(Accessory)
Prism Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer (CWDM) systems are pre-configured
with the correct wavelength SFPs installed as well as the correct wavelength OADM
module. SFPs installed in the Host provides the following optical wavelengths:
•• 1470 nm •• 1550 nm
•• 1490 nm •• 1570 nm
•• 1510 nm •• 1590 nm
•• 1530 nm •• 1610 nm
FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 51
ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/2009 © 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
Prism System Components
The Host is connected to a CWDM chassis that contains the CWDM Mux/DeMux Units
that multiplex the wavelengths from the transceivers onto a single fiber in the
Forward path and de-multiplexes the wavelengths from the Remotes into their
respective wavelengths. The Remote within a CWDM system requires an internal
Prism CWDM Fiber Cable Assembly. Figure 2-18 on Page 52 shows the CWDM
Mux/DeMux unit and Figure 2-19 shows the CWDM Fiber Cable Assembly. For further
information on the Prism CWDM system, see the ADC FlexWave™ Prism Coarse

3.3.3 OSP Fiber Cable Installation Guidelines
The outside plant (OSP) fiber optic cables should be routed between the Host
distribution panel and Remote outside plant cabinet and terminated before the
equipment is installed. A diagram of a typical OSP cable routing is shown in
Figure 3-1. At the Host, the OSP cable should be terminated at a fiber distribution
panel and spliced to fiber patch cords. Jumper patch cords may then be used to link
the Host 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 Host is provided in “Optical Connections Without
WDM System” on page 74. and “Optical Connections For Systems With a WDM” on
page 76.

Installing the Host Unit
3.3.5 Coaxial Cable Connections
The RF interface between the Host DART card and the EBTS/BTS is supported through
two type QMA female connectors mounted on each DART front panel. One connector
provides the coaxial cable connection for the forward path (downlink) signal and the
other connector provides the coaxial cable connection for the reverse path (uplink)
signal.
In most installations, it is usually necessary to insert an external attenuator into the
forward path link between the Host and the BTS. Before completing the forward path
connection at the BTS, verify that the composite forward path RF signal level at the
Host is between –25 and +5 dBm.
The Host should be mounted as close as possible to the EBTS/BTS to minimize cable
losses. Use the following procedure to route and connect the forward and reverse
path coaxial cables to the Host DART cards:
177 Obtain the required lengths of high performance, flexible, low loss 50-ohm coaxial
communications cable (RG-400 or equivalent) for all coaxial connections.
188 Route the forward and reverse path coaxial cables between the Host and the BTS
interface (per system design plan) and cut to the required length. Allow sufficient
slack for dressing and organizing cables at the Host and for installing an external
attenuator in the forward path link.
199 Terminate each cable with a QMA-Type male connector following the connector
supplier’s recommendations.
200 If required, install an external attenuator in the forward path.
The composite forward path RF signal lev el at the Host must be between –25 and + 5
dBm. Do not connect
lev el is measured and the amount o
the forward path cable until the composite forw ard path RF signal

211 Connect the forward and reverse path cables as shown in the following graphic.
aa Connect the forward path cable to the FWD RF IN connector on the Host DART
front panel.
bb Connect the reverse path cable to the REV RF OUT connector on the Host DART
front panel.

Installing the Host Unit
3.3.6 Optical Connections
Optical connections between the Host SeRF card and the Remote are supported
through Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. The optical interfaces are
standard single-mode duplex LC (flat polished UPC). One SFP comes with the
Host—additional SFPs (up to 7) must be ordered separately as needed.
There are two fiber connections—one FWD and one REV—for each SFP. As the SeRF
holds up to eight SFPs, there is a total of 16 connections: eight FWD and eight REV.
The FWD path is 1550nm (from the Host to the Remote) and the REV path is 1310nm
(from the Remote to the Host).
Each FWD port provides an optical connection for the forward path (downlink) signal.
Each REV port provide an optical connection for the reverse path (uplink) signal. Each
REV port can also provide the optical connection for the diversity reverse path
(uplink) signal.
The optical connections are dependent on whether or not a WDM Host module
(accessory) is installed:
•• If the installation does not include a WDM module, proceed to Section 2.9.2 for
the optical connections procedure.
•• If the installation includes a WDM module, proceed to Section 2.10 for the optical
connections procedure.

3.3.7 LC Attenuator
To meet 3Gbps optical transmission requirements, the long reach transceivers (SFPs)
must be used. SFPs have the following specifications:
•• Launch: 0dBm
•• Normal Operation: -9dBm maximum to -27dBm minimum
•• Overdrive: >-9dBm
•• Underdrive: <-27dBm
•• RX No Light condition: <-34dBm
The receiver’s specification is -9 to -27dBm. Based on typical fiber runs, there's
usually only a few dB of loss, so the 15dB LC attenuator (Figure 3-2) ships with each
Host to put the receive level in the optimum receive range.

3.3.7.1 Optical Connections Without WDM System
Use the following procedure to connect the optical fibers when a WDM is not
installed.
255 Obtain two patch cords that are of sufficient length to reach from the Host to the
fiber distribution panel.
266 Designate one of the patch cords as the forward path link and the other as the
reverse path link and attach an identification label or tag next to the connector.
277 Remove the dust caps from the Host SeRF SFP optical ports and from the patch
cord connectors that will be connected to the SeRF SFP optical ports.
288 Clean each patch cord connector following the patch cord supplier’s
recommendations.
299 Connect the LC attenuator to the patch cord.
300 Plug the FWD and REV path patch cords to the corresponding transmit (FWD) and
receive (REV) connections depending on the remote node SFP position.
