Overview
Models
Theory Of Operation
The SatelLink RF to Fiber Modules provide a multi-band, multi-service link from a
main distribution center to multiple local antennae. RF Signals are distributed in runs
of three pairs of
Fiber Pair #1: 1.9 GHz PCS Services
Fiber Pair #2: 800 MHz Cellular Services
Fiber Pair #3: 800 MHz iDEN & Paging Services
Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Distribution Lines, organized as...
There are two models....
SatelLink
DESCRIPTION
MODEL
This is a 1U high, 19" Rack-Mount Module providing low signal
LNKFIB-H01
LNKFIB-R01
level interfacing between Head-End RF Modules and Single-Mode
Fiber-Optic Distribution Lines. One is used for each of the three
Fiber Pair Groups, and can service up to four Remote Modules.
This is a Wall-Mounted Remote Module that connects to the SingleMode Fiber-Optic Distribution Lines and provides eight local
Distribution Antennae for Signal Extension.
Printed: 01.05.11,14:10
NOTE:
With these Modules, there is always a grouping of three (3) of LNKFIB-H01's to
every four (4) LNKFIB-R01's.

The Single-Mode Fiber-Optic interconnections between the Head-End and Remote
Modules are based upon the Head-Ends being organized on a "per Fiber-Pair"
system. This fundamentally means that an installation requires three Head-Ends for
every four Remote Modules. It also means that if you have a fully optimized system
with all Head-End ports in use, and you add one more Remote Module, then another
three Head-End Modules are required.

Carrier De-Rating
! USER MANUAL
DCM000000052
All signals that fall within a given Pass-Band range will “share” power amongst them.
A multiple channel effect is Intermodulation - signals produced from non-linear
effects between the intended channel signals. This intermodulation may cause
interference to receiving equipment. In order to minimize Intermodulation signals,
Power de-rating must be applied. In the USA there are FCC Intermodulation
Specifications published in the EIA Standard PN2009. The Tables below gives the
maximum per channel Output Levels allowed as a function of the number of
channels. Note that depending on the actual input levels, the gain may need to be
reduced to comply with the above regulat ions.

Operation
! USER MANUAL
Normal Operation
The SatelLink Head-End Module has one LED on the faceplate:
1. OPERATING - Normally this LED will be GREEN.
The SatelLink Remote Module has three LED’s on the faceplate:
1. OPERATING - Normally this LED will be GREEN.
2. FAULT – Red LED, If the internal diagnostics for the module detect a
problem, then this LED will remain on
3. LASERS ON - This LED will be GREEN when any one of the three Lasers
are operating.
DCM000000052
Configuration
It is possible to re-configure the LNKFIB-R01 Remote Module in the field, either
with a Personal Computer (PC) or via the optional LinkNet Control Module. To
use a PC it is necessary to connect the DB9 RS-232 connector on the Module to a
standard DB9 RS232 Connector on the PC. On the PC a terminal emulation
program such as HyperTerminal is used to communicate to the LinkNet Module.
The settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Commands are one or
two words followed by pressing Return. Commands may be given in upper or lowercase. Available commands are...
ACCESS USER: Required as a simple password to gain access to customer
settable parameters and diagnosti cs; This w ill time-out after 10
minutes, and may have to be re-typed.
HELP or ?: Displays a list of Available Commands.
LIST: Displays Current Settings and Status Faults, Etc.
VER: Display the current Version of Software.
ENABLE 1 or 0: Enables or Disables the Module.

Laser Safety
•
Both the Head-End and Remote Modules have Class IIIb Laser Devices as
Fiber-Optic Transmitters.
•
Under normal installation both Modules are intrinsically-safe (Class I) since the
Fiber-Optic cabling will be i nst alled.
•
Only qualified service personnel should remove / install the Fiber-Optic
cabling!

Antenna Installation
•
All Antenna Installation to be performed by Qualified Technical Personnel only.
•
Antenna Installation Instructions and locations below are for the purpose of
satisfying FCC RF Exposure Compliance requirements.
•
The In-Building Antenna connection is via a coaxial cable distribution system
with Signal Taps at various points connected to the fixed-mounted Indoor
Antennae. This is shown in the figure in the Introduction. The Indoor Antennae
are simple 1/4 Wavelength (0 dB Gain) types. They are used with KAVAL
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES 12, 16, or 20 dB Cable Taps. As such the
maximum EIRP will be at the first Tapped Antenna, which will be 12 dB below
the maximum signal level of the SatelLink (+40 dBm); +28 dBm, or 0.63 Watts
EIRP. If multiple SatelLink Modules are used with output combiners, then
the composite power output of all Modules transmitting simultaneously
must meet this maximum EIRP requirement. Please consult Kaval Wireless
for assistance as required. These Antennae are to be installed such that no
person can touch the Antenna, or approach with in 0.2 Meter s.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
WARNING
ALL ANTENNA INSTALLATION IS TO BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED
TECHNICAL PERSONNEL ONLY.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND LOCATIONS ARE FOR THE
PURPOSE OF SATISFYING FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE
REQUIREMENTS, AND ARE NOT OPTIONAL.
ALL IN-BUILDING ANTENNAE INSTALLATIONS MUST BE SUCH THAT NO
PERSON CAN TOUCH THE ANTENNAE, OR APPROACH CLOSER THAN 0.2
METERS.
