    1.2. HEALTH AND SAFETY WARNINGS 1. Only suitably qualified personnel is allowed to work on this unit and only after

    becoming familiar with all safety notices, installation, operation and maintenance procedures contained in this manual.

    2. Read and obey all the warning labels attached to the unit. Make sure that the

    warning labels are kept in a legible condition and replace any missing or damaged labels.

    3. Obey all general and regional installation and safety regulations relating to work on

    high voltage installations, as well as regulations covering correct use of tools and personal protective equipment.

    4. Keep operating instructions within easy reach and make them available to all

    users. 5. It is the responsibility of the network provider to implement prevention measures to

    avoid health hazards which may be associated to radiation from the antenna(s) connected to the unit.

    6. The antennas of the repeater (integrated and / or external) have to be installed in a

    way that the regional and national RF exposure compliance requirements are met. 7. For US and Canadian installations: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance

    requirements, the following antenna installation and device operating configurations must be satisfied: A separation distance of at least 4 m must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons. RF exposure compliance may need to be addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s), including antenna co-location requirements of 1.1307(b)(3). Maximum permissible antenna gain is 17 dBi.

    8. Make sure access is restricted to qualified personnel. 9. Only licence holders for the respective frequency range are allowed to operate this

    unit. 10. Corresponding local particularities and regulations must be observed. For national

    deviations please refer to the respective documents included in the manual CD delivered.

    11. Use this equipment only for the purpose specified by the manufacturer. Do not

    carry out any modifications or fit any spare parts which are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer. This could cause fires, electric shock or other injuries.

    12. Before opening the unit, disconnect mains.

  • Users Manual for

    ION-M Optical Master Unit

    Page 14 M0106A9AH.doc

    13. Due to power dissipation, components of the Master Unit may reach a very high

    temperature.

    14. The bottom of the cabinet does not fulfil the requirement of a fire enclosure. Therefore, it has to be installed in a room made of fire-resistant material like concrete.

    15. Caution: High-leakage current for systems with more than one PSU (Power supply unit). Connect to ground before mains is applied.

    16. ESD precautions must be observed! Before commencing maintenance work, use the available grounding system to connect ESD protection measures.

    17. This unit complies with European standard EN60950. 18. IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements,

    the following antenna installation and device operating configurations must be satisfied: A separation distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons. RF exposure compliance may need to be addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s), including antenna co-location requirements of 1.1307(b)(3). Maximum permissible antenna gain is 12 dBi.

    19. Make sure the repeater settings are according to the intended use (see also

    2. INTRODUCTION

    2.1. PURPOSE Cellular telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between base transceiver station (BTS) / Node B or eNB and mobile stations (MS) / UE within the signal coverage area. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distribution system. Such a system contains an optical Master Unit (consisting of up to 13 racks) and several Remote Units (RUs). The number of the RUs depends on the hardware and software configuration. The RUs are connected to the Master Unit with optical links. Optical loss up to 10 dB can be managed. The Master Unit is the connection to the BTS / Node B. The configuration of a Master Unit depends on the number of the RUs and the frequency range.

    2.2. THE ION-M MASTER UNIT The Master Unit (MU) is the link between BTS / Node B and the corresponding ION-M RUs connected to the MU via optical-fiber lines. It is the conversion unit from RF to fiber-optic. One MU can support up to 124 RUs in point-to-point connections or 124 RUs in a cascaded system with up to four RUs per link (cascaded system). The Master Unit controls the complete system and also the auto-leveling function. The fiber-optic distribution system is designed for GSM, AWS, UMTS and LTE services as well as for AMPS/ PCS or iDEN/ PCS or Tetra services. Multiple operation bands can be connected to up to three frequency paths independently accessible per optical link. Each optical link will also be able to operate services of up to four providers. An auto-leveling function for compensating different fiber losses and a comprehensive supervision concept are implemented. Auto-leveling in DL works with optical power measurement; in UL a 10.7 MHz signal is used for measuring the optical loss. Thus, a (so-called cascaded) backbone structure can be used in the optical network, i.e. up to four RUs can be connected to the Master Unit via only one fiber and optical couplers. WDM (Wave Division Multiplex) filters are integrated in the optical modules. For the UL, a wavelength within 1540 nm 1562 nm is used. For the DL, a wavelength of 1310 20 nm is used. The maximum output power for the UL and DL is 5.7 mW.

    Page 20 M0106A9AH.doc

    The system is designed for both SISO and for MIMO applications (depending on the individual customer configuration). Since MIMO utilizes the same frequency range for two different data streams, a simple electrical-to-optical conversion is not sufficient. For this reason frequency conversion modules (FCM) are required. FCMs shift one of the spectrally overlapping MIMO bands to another unused frequency range. This is necessary to transport the spectrally overlapping multiple data streams over one single fibre link in the ION-M system.

    3.2. GENERAL

    E0975B9 figure 3-2 Overview of the ION-M Master Unit, first rack

    In a typical configuration, the ION-M Master Unit comprises two signal chains per optical link. In the uplink direction, the optical signals from the RUs (transmitted via optical fibers) are converted into RF signals by the transceiver. Then, they are forwarded via a frequency separation unit denominated as duplexer and the four-way combiner or BTS connect (one for each band) to the connector, which transmits the signals to the BTS / Node B. In the downlink direction, the signals from the BTS / Node B are forwarded to the four-way combiner. After passing through the duplexer, the RF signals are converted into optical signals by the transceiver and finally are transmitted via optical fibers to the RUs. This typical configuration can vary depending on the respective ION-M system.

    3.3. COMPONENTS OF THE MASTER UNIT In order to be able to use individual applications, such as LTE and MIMO functionalities, the following description distinguishes between different subrack versions. Various available subrack types are described from sections 3.3.2.1 LTE Subrack EMEA onwards to 3.3.2.7 Subrack Three-Sectors Three OTRxs. The configuration and layout of an individual unit may vary from figure 3-4, in chapter 3.3 Components of the Master Unit, depending on customer requirements. The actual configuration of each Master Unit can be seen at the configuration list, which is part of the delivery. The basic sections of a Master Unit for multi-user and multi-operator are as follows: An optical and combining section consisting of subracks for OTRxs with

    combiners, splitters, or BTS connects providing attenuation setting, and - in case of ION-Mxx EP systems - plug-in modules like adapter cards, TPX modules, or frequency conversion modules (FCMs).

    In the first rack, the optional system alarm board (SAB) is equipped in this section; depending on the individual customer configuration, optical splitters may also be equipped.

    A duplexer unit located behind the optical and combining sections.

    A master control unit consisting of the RMC / MMC Plus for supervising the system and alarm forwarding to the OMC as well as an optional monitor and keyboard.

    All subracks are connected via an RS485 bus starting at the Master Controller (MC) and continuing from subrack to subrack (see chapter 3.3.2.7 Subrack Three-Sectors Three OTRxs). The last subrack in a cabinet is connected to the first subrack of the next cabinet in the system.

    A power supply section, which is usually located below the RMC1600 / MMC Plus controller (see chapter 7.1 Illustrations).

    F Note: The POI subrack CANNOT be operated in the Andrew standard outdoor MU rack! It is only meant for usage in INDOOR cabinets with perforated doors (see following figure)!

    The POI subrack available with passive modules (p-POI) and/or active modules (i-POIs) - has various functions. For better transparency, these are described in two separate POI manuals (M0146A0x and M0146A1x). For detailed information please refer to the p-POI manual and/ or i-POI documentations, respectively.

    3.3.2. Optical and Combining Section The optical and combining sections are located above the RMC1600 of a Master Unit. Depending on the configuration, subracks of 3 HUs, which are intended for 19" rack mounting, are used for two up to four optical transceivers. From the front, the subracks provide plug-in space for combiners and splitters, BTS connect (see also chapter 4.4 Commissioning the RF and Optical System), frequency conversion modules and optical transceivers . Behind each optical transceiver the UL and DL band ports required for leveling the individual bands are located. Thus, in case no frequency conversion module is equipped, the transceiver has to be removed for the leveling procedure (see chapter 4.4 Commissioning the RF and Optical System). Additional space is available for an alarm board, power supply or controller. Duplexers and splitters can be mounted behind the backplane. For subracks containing and supporting the MMC Plus Controller, which will replace all old subracks, the backplane of the subracks is moved 10 HP to the left-hand side and the MMC Plus (with appropriate plug-in backplane) is mounted on the right-hand side, see e.g. figure 3-16 Subrack two OTRxs with MMC Plus and/ or figure 3-19 Subrack three OTRxs with MMC Plus.

    3.3.2.1. LTE Subrack EMEA Full MIMO functionality for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (shortly abbreviated by EMEA) is only given by the LTE subrack EMEA described as follows. One subrack contains up to 2 optical transceivers (OTRx 4-9/18/21-26 MU-G). Each OTRx requires either two adapter cards, two TPX modules (i.e. one triplexer and one diplexer module), or two frequency conversion modules (FCMs) in which one of these modules covers the lower bands (4-9) and the other covers the upper bands (18-26). When one of these modules is not assembled, an alarm will be generated. Another major component of this subrack is the backplane with adequate power supply and communication interface for the adapter cards, TPX modules, or FCMs mentioned before. These plug-in modules give the opportunity for an easy system upgrade to MIMO or extend the frequency range of the system. A short description can be found in the following sections.

    ... 1. Adapter Cards

    The adapter cards in the Master Unit are assembled when no additional frequency to the 900 MHz / 1800 MHz / 2100 MHz bands and no frequency conversion (MIMO) is needed. Both adapter cards need to be equipped, otherwise an alarm will be generated by the Master Controller.

If no FCM (MIMO application) is needed and the frequency range of the adapter cards is not sufficient, both the diplexer and the triplexer modules have to be installed in the Master Unit. Otherwise, an alarm will be generated.

    ... 3. Frequency Conversion Modules (FCMs)

    The Frequency conversion modules (FCM) of the MU are required to shift one of the spectrally overlapping MIMO bands to another unused frequency range. This is necessary to transport the spectrally overlapping multiple data streams over one single fibre link in the ION-M system. It is possible to transport one lower MIMO signal (e.g. 8 or 9) and up to two upper MIMO signals (e.g. 18, 21, 26, 18 & 26 or 21 & 26) at the same time. In a MIMO application, always two FCMs have to be installed, one for the lower bands and one for the upper bands, also when only one MIMO band is used.

    3.3.2.2. Legacy Applications with OTRx 4-9/18/21-26 MU-LG If the LTE Subrack EMEA is not available at the Master Unit with ION-Mxxx EP Remote Units, a different optical module has to be used: OTRx 4-9/18/21-26 MU-G LG. "LG" is the abbreviation of legacy, indicating that the OTRx is only allowed to be used in legacy systems where no adapter card / diplexer module / FCM can be installed. Hence it is a precondition that only an ION-M9/18(P)/21(P) EP (and derivates) can be connected to this kind of Master Unit. Please note that a MU upgrade to support additional EUs, e.g. MIMO, is not easily feasible on site.

    3.3.2.3. LTE Subrack US Full MIMO functionality for the United States is provided for by the LTE subrack US described as follows. This subrack can manage up to three optical transceivers (OTRx 70-85/90/17-21 MU-G) with the according frequency conversion modules (FCMs). Each conversion module has 4 UL & DL connectors. It provides the 700 MHz/ 700 MHz MIMO, 850 MHz and 1900 MHz bands. There are also variants of the US LTE Subrack which only hosts one ore two optical modules and FCMs. In these configurations the space left can be used for e.g. combiners and MMC Plus with optional BBU-kit. The following illustration shows a configuration example for a US LTE700 subrack with 3 OTRx and 3 according FCMs:

    3.3.4. Master Controller - Overview The first master rack in a system contains a master controller for system control, either an RMC1600 controller (see section 3.3.5) or the MMC Plus controller (see section 3.3.6).

    3.3.5. Master Controller: RMC1600 F Note: The RMC1600 is available as a configuration for Linux and/ or

    Windows operating systems. As only the software differs, there is no difference in layout of the hardware.

    Optionally the ION-M MU is equipped with monitor, keyboard and mouse which are used for local access to the RMC1600. F Note: A graphical user interface (GUI) for Linux operating systems of the

    RMC1600 is available from deliveries (only with pre-set factory settings) of the ION Master Controller SW V4.20.3 onwards.

    Local access to the RMC1600 can be granted either via monitor, keyboard and mouse (optional ION-M MU equipment) when equipped or via the LAN interface provided for local connection at the front panel. For locations of LAN ports please refer to chapters 3.3.5.2 RMC1600 Front Side. Two minutes after the respective power-supply switch of the mains supply has been set to ON, the RMC1600 will boot automatically; i.e. the required voltage (11.0 Vdc) must be stable for two minutes. To avoid the 2-minute-delay, press the ON/ OFF/ Reset button after a waiting time of 10 seconds. For details see chapter 3.3.5.2 RMC1600 Front Side. If the RMC1600 is delivered separately, ensure sufficient airflow at the air inlet and air outlets (positions see figure 3-23 RMC1600 front) when mounting the unit. The RMC1600 is provided with an automatic shutdown function to prevent over-temperature. At 70 C, the system will send out an according alarm message via modem, and then shut down into standby mode. The software is factory-set to initiate a reboot as soon as the temperature has fallen to 40 C. If this function is disabled, the system can only be rebooted locally using the ON/OFF/ Reset button (see chapter 3.3.5.2 RMC1600 Front Side) or via webpages (see software manual for the ION-M Master Controller).

  • Page 38 M0106A9AH.doc

    3.3.5.1. RMC1600 Battery Backup (BBU) The RMC1600 is equipped with a battery-backup drawer (BBU) to keep up system operation and transmit alarm information in case of power failure. The battery pack (hot-pluggable) is located in the RMC front side drawer. The battery type is Ni-MH, 8.4 V (nominal). When fully charged, the battery backup can support system operation for approximately 1.5 hours under normal environmental conditions. A shutdown will be carried out after max. 30 minutes or less in case of low battery charge status. The BBU cannot be used to boot the system after a shutdown. For this purpose, mains supply via the mains connector (see chapter 3.3.5.3 RMC1600 Rear Side) is required. The battery-backup drawer comprises a rechargeable battery pack, which has to be replaced after 2 years of usage at the latest as a preventive maintenance measure in order to safeguard that maximum capacity is provided. For replacing the BBU, please refer to chapter 6.7 Replacement of the RMC1600 Battery Pack & Battery Fuse. Furthermore, an automatic battery refresh is generally factory-set to an interval of 10 weeks. This interval may be changed by the customer via software to an interval in the range from 8 to 12 weeks. For details regarding interval setting, please refer to the software manual of the Master Controller, which is also part of the delivery. However, it is not recommended to deactivate the refresh function, since this may considerably impair the lifetime of the battery.

    3.3.5.4. RMC1600 Modem Optionally, one of the following four modem types can be used as internal modem for the RMC1600: MC75/ MC88 (EGS5 Cinterion)/ HC25/ TRM3. The RMC modem automatically adjusts the gain. Via the battery backup, the modem is supplied with power, even when mains power fails, alarms will continue to be sent. Additionally, one up to four of the external modems listed above can be connected to one or more of the four ports COM1, COM7, COM8, COM5 at the RMC1600 rear side. For detailed information please refer to chapter 3.3.5.3 RMC1600 Rear Side, Section 4 COM Ports. The customer has to decide and select which modem type is required. Each of the modem listed above is automatically reset when it is not communicating any longer.

    3.3.6. Master Controller: MMC Plus Locally, system control of the MMC plus may be accessed via the Ethernet connector for local access (locations see illustration in chapter 3.3.6.1 MMC Plus Front). For further details on the local connection please refer to chapter 4.5.3 System Startup of MMC Plus. The MMC plus will boot automatically two minutes after the respective power supply switch of the Master Unit has been set to on, i.e. when the required voltage has been fed for two minutes. To avoid the two-minute-delay, press the ON/OFF button after having waited for five seconds. For details see chapter 3.3.6.1 MMC Plus Front. The MMC plus is provided with an automatic shutdown function to prevent over-temperature. At 70 C the system will send out an according alarm message via modem, and then shut down into standby mode. The software is factory-set to initiate a reboot as soon as the temperature has fallen to 40 C. The system can also be rebooted locally using the ON/OFF button (see chapter 3.3.6.1 MMC Plus Front) as soon as the temperature has fallen below 40 C.
