Warning: Insulation on electrical wiring can deteriorate with age. Check for brittle or
deteriorated insulation on power cord and all other electrical wiring.
Warning: CLASS I PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT TYPE A as defined in IEC 60950. This
equipment is intended for connection to other equipment or a network, relies on connection
to protective earth and must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.
Country specific warnings:
Finland "Laite on liitettŠvä suojamaadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan"
Norway “Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt”
Sweden "Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag
Warning: Do not excessively bend, twist, or tie the power cable. Do not place any heavy
items on the power cable or place any sources of heat near to the equipment, as damage to
the power cord could cause malfunction or fire.
Caution: The installation of electrical supplies in support of UNItivity products shall be in
accordance with national and local regulations.
Caution: DOUBLE POLE/NEUTRAL FUSING in Primary Hub.
Rack Mounting
Caution: Do not over-tighten the hardware.
Caution: Elevated Operating Ambient – Installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature listed in the specifications.
Caution: Reduced Air Flow – Install the equipment with adequate of air flow required for
safe operation.
Caution: Mechanical Loading – Do not load unevenly.
Caution: Circuit Overloading – Consider equipment nameplate ratings when connecting
equipment to the supply circuit. Overloading of the circuits might have and effect on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Caution: Reliable Earthing – Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to
the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Caution: Disconnect Device – The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment, be
easily accessible, and will act as the main point of disconnect for the Hubs.
Caution: Manual Handling – Installation should be carried out by two competent personnel
as the equipment is heavy.
ii Installation and Configuration
Caution: Hubs are heavy rack units which must be supported at the front when installed into
a 19" rack. To avoid damage to the equipment do not support the whole weight using only 1
handle.
RF Exposure
Warning: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
occupational/ controlled environment. The Remote Unit should be operated with a minimum
distance of 20cm (8 in) between antenna and your body.
Installation
Caution: Incorrect installation, operation, and use of this equipment may cause failure to
product and could cause accidents which may harm personnel.
Caution: Optical Module must ONLY be installed on the front panel of a Primary Hub or the
unit will not function as expected.
Caution: Remote Units should be vertically-mounted to ensure optimum cooling effect and
to achieve the maximum ambient operating specification. If the Remote Units mounted in
the horizontal plane the maximum ambient operating temperature must be relaxed by 8°C
(47 F)
Signal and Input Power
Warning: If the service module is connected directly to the output of a BTS or any RF input
source, maximum power delivered to a service module must not exceed 15dBm. Use
additional equipment to attenuate the power.
Caution: The input power to the Zinwave Remote Unit should not exceed -10dBm. Power
levels greater than 0dBm will damage the unit
Caution: The total broadband composite output power of the Remote Unit is limited to +18
dBm in Europe and +20 dBm in the USA and Canada. The maximum allowed EIRP in the
USA & Canada is +28 dBm which corresponds to an antenna gain of 8 dBi. Contact
Zinwave for the maximum output power in other regions
Caution: Alarm Relays on the Hubs and Remote Unit are intended for low voltage/current
signaling only. Maximum operating voltage 50V, maximum operating current 1A.
Fiber Considerations
Caution: Avoid dust ingress to fiber connectors by mounting the Remote Unit with the fiber
connector facing downwards, or by leaving the dust-caps in place until the fiber is
connected.
Caution: Connector types must match (i.e. SC/APC to SC/APC or SC/UPC to SC/UPC).
Otherwise, there will be an air gap between the connector faces that will create high back
reflection and high optical loss.
Installation and Configuration
iii
Caution: If there is a change in fiber core diameter, light must always travel from a smaller
to a larger core diameter. Otherwise, there will be excessive optical loss. E.g. Singlemode
can transmit into Multimode fiber but Multimode CANNOT transmit into Singlemode
Caution: Fiber handling procedures should be carefully observed so as not to damage or
introduce dirt to fiber interfaces during installation
Caution: Observe safety precautions when working with fiber cables and devices.
Optical Safety Precautions
Warning: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Caution: Do not remove the fiber Port dust covers unless the port is in use. Do not stare
directly into a fiber Port.
Caution: Cover any unconnected fiber ends with an approved cap.
Caution: Do not stare with unprotected eyes at any broken ends of the fiber.
Caution: Use only approved methods for cleaning optical fiber connectors.
Caution: Do not make any unauthorized modifications to this fiber optical system.
Caution: No warning signs are required as it is a Class 1 hazard.
Caution: Use Class 1 test equipment.
iv Installation and Configuration
Software Installation
Caution: When new firmware is being installed it is very important not to break or interrupt
the connection between source file and the Hub. Interrupting firmware installation may put
the Hub into an irrecoverable state that requires factory reset.
Caution: While the system can be configured with poor optical links present, this may affect
the system performance and such links should be examined and brought into specification in
order to obtain optimum performance.

1.1
How Does It Work?
At a high-level, the standard solution provides a complete in-building wireless infrastructure with a few
core components. Radio Frequency (RF) source inputs come into the Primary Hub’s Service Module
directly or through one of the optional POI products. The Primary Hub converts these RF signal inputs
to optical and connects via optical fiber directly to Remote Units or to a Secondary Hub. The
1-1
How Does It Work?
Secondary Hub connects via optical fiber directly to Remote Units. The Remote Units connect to
antennas, taking the optical signal back to RF and amplifying it for wider distribution.
System Overview
1.1.1. Real World Examples

1.3
Network Topologies
UNItivity 5000 supports a number of configuration topologies making it a flexible system that can
support small venues to very large facilities and campuses. This, coupled with UNItivity 5000’s
wideband attributes enables system growth for both coverage of additional areas or buildings, or for
adding support for new frequencies, wireless operators or services. The UNItivity 5000 system can
range from a single Primary Hub and Remote Unit (a 1-1 configuration) to a maximum configuration
consisting of a Primary Hub, 8 associated Secondary Hubs, and 64 Remotes (a 1-8-64).
1-4 Installation and Configuration
1.3.1. Single Star Configuration
Network Topologies
System Overview
In its single star fiber-to-antenna topology, UNItivity 5000 supports a Primary Hub with up to 8 Remote
Units.
1.3.2. Double Star Configuration
In its double star configuration, UNItivity 5000 supports a single Primary Hub connected to up to 8
Secondary Hubs each supporting 8 Remote Units, bringing the system total to up to 64 Remote Units.
The UNItivity 5000 system can also support a mixed topology, such that Remotes can be directly
connected to the Primary Hub (single star configuration) while also supporting Secondary Hubs
connected to the same Primary Hub (double star configuration). A typical mixed topology use case has
a location

System Overview
needing coverage that is in close proximity to the Primary Hub, while also needing to support longer
fiber runs or other buildings from that same Primary Hub such that it would be necessary to deploy a
Secondary Hub. In this case, the total number of Remote Units that can be supported from the Primary
Hub is a function of the number of Remotes which are directly connected to the Primary Hub. For
example, if 4 Remote Units were directly connected to the Primary Hub then only 4 Secondary Hubs
could be simultaneously supported, with the resulting maximum total number of Remotes supported off
the Primary equal to 36 (4 directly connected Remotes + 32 Remotes connected via the 4 Secondary
Hubs).
1.3.3. Network Cabling
All cabling is done via optical fiber. The transceivers within the Hubs and Remote Units are intended
for use with 9/125 µm SMF terminated in SC/APC connectors.
Extensive cable lengths can be delivered, using the same core components. This length of
interconnection is more than adequate to facilitate a high quality, broadband, in-building coverage
extension system for multiple, simultaneous wireless feeds for cellular and public safety as well as
anything from 150 MHz to 2700 MHz.
1.3.4. Support For MIMO Services
The next generation of high data-rate services such as LTE provide various multiple-input and
multiple-output (MIMO) options. Where base stations (BTS) are deployed to provide in-building
coverage, these options can be used to increase the overall capacity or coverage of the system.
Typically, BTS signals are distributed inside buildings via a Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) which
has multiple antenna locations to provide multiple copies of each signal. In the case of MIMO, each
antenna location will require 2 or more independent signals from the same BTS. The standard
UNItivity 5000 single star and double star architectures support a traditional single signal (SISO) BTS.
See “Single Star Configuration” on page 1-5 and “Double Star Configuration” on page 1-5.
1-6 Installation and Configuration
Network Topologies
System Overview
In the case of a single star topology, 8 Remotes would have 16 antennas. For double star at a capacity
of 8 Secondary Hubs, each with 8 Remote Units, you could have 64 Remotes Units with a total of 128
antennas at 64 antenna locations. Each location consists has 1 Rx and 1 Tx antenna.This architecture
has to change to support a dual-transceiver MIMO BTS.
In a full MIMO double star configuration, there would be 1 Primary Hub and 8 Secondary Hubs. Of
these, 4 would be carrying MIMO A and 4 MIMO B. Each Secondary Hub still connects to 8 Remote
Units: however, now 32 of those units have MIMO A and the 32 MIMO B.
If the MIMO installation still uses SISO antennas, the number of antennas remain the same at 128, 64
for MIMO A and 64 for MIMO B. This is because each location now has 2 Remote Units with 2 Tx and
2 Rx antennas. The number of antenna locations is now 64.

1-7
Network Topologies
System Overview
If MIMO antennas (which have 2 RF connections) are used, the number of antennas is 32 for MIMO Tx
and 32 for MIMO Rx. The number of antenna locations is now 32.
Note: The MIMO routing is done via the Signal Routing Matrix in the Primary Hub.
