Note 1: Per Industry Canada Section 5.3 - The rated output power of this equipment is for single

carrier operation. For situations where multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have

to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause

interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or

gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION 1.2 Readiness Check Before starting the turn-up process, inspect the complete Digivance system to verify that all components of the system are ready to be powered-up. This will ensure that no units of the system will be damaged during turn-up and that all existing systems will continue to function properly. 1.2.1 Host Unit Installation Checks Complete the following checks at the HU prior to starting the turn-up process: 1.
PAGE 9
ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION Each Digivance system must be turned-up separately before being networked together with multiple systems through the CAN interface. Use the following procedure to turn-up each Digivance system: 1. Temporarily disconnect the external alarm system or notify the alarm system provider that testing is in progress. 2.
PAGE 10
ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION 9. Start up the EMS software program. The EMS main window will open as shown in Figure 3-1. The EMS software should be installed on a PC-type computer and the PC’s COMM port should be configured to interface with the HU. For information about installing the EMS software and configuring the PC’s COMM port, refer to the Digivance Element Management System User Manual (see Related Publications section).

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION 11. New Control program software and FPGA program software will be provided separately on a “as needed” basis. If new Control and FPGA software is not provided with the system, proceed to step 12. If a Control and FPGA software upgrade is required, contact the ADC Technical Assistance Center (see Section 5) for help with the download procedure. 12. Click on the HOST Config tab and on the REMOTE Config tab (see Figure 3-2).

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION 24. If a separate laptop computer loaded with the EMS software was used to initially configure the system, disconnect the laptop computer from the SERVICE connector. Note: When two or more HU’s are connected together through the CAN interface, only one EMS computer is required to manage the networked Digivance systems. The EMS computer may be connected to the SERVICE port on any one of the HUs in the network. 25.

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION 2.3 Reference Procedure: Enter Host Forward Attenuation The HU internal forward path attenuator setting determines the maximum composite output signal level at the RU antenna port. The appropriate attenuation value for any particular system is based on the number of channels the system is transporting and the signal level of the composite forward path signals input at the host units RF IN ports.
PAGE 18
ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION Figure 3-8. Host Fwd Att Pop-Up Screen 4. Determine the appropriate value to enter for the Host forward path attenuator by subtracting the required system output level (per system design plan) from the system gain (77.5 dB for 800/900 MHz SMR, 78.1 dB for 800 MHz, and 78.3 dB for 1900 MHz) and then adding the composite input signal level. The result (see sample calculation) is the amount of attenuation required.
PAGE 19
ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION 7. Calculate the total composite signal power using the following formula: Ptot = Pc + 10Log N Where, Ptot is the total composite power in dBm Pc is the power per carrier in dBm as measured in step 6, and N is the total number of channels. 8. Record the result measured in step 5 or calculated in step 7. 9. Place the AC circuit breaker switch (at the RU power panel) in the open (OFF) position. 10.

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION 2.6 Reference Procedure: Enter Host Reverse Attenuation The level of the RF signal that should be input to the EBTS will vary depending on the type of EBTS, the receive distribution, and the number of channels present. To interface with the EBTS, the reverse path signal level must be adjusted to provide the signal level required at the EBTS input port(s). The HU provides from –1 to +30 dB of gain in the reverse path.

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 4: MAINTENANCE 2 FAULT DETECTION AND ALARM REPORTING The Digivance LRCS on-board embedded software detects various unit and system faults which generate ether a Major or Minor alarm. A Major alarm indicates that the system has failed in a way that directly affects RF transport performance. When a major alarm occurs, all RF functions are disabled and the system is out of service.

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 4: MAINTENANCE 3 FAULT ISOLATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING Alarm information may be accessed using the HU and RU LED indicators, the EMS software GUI, the NOC-NEM interface, or the SNMP manager. When an alarm occurs, use the unit LED indicator(s) and any one of the specified software tools to determine which Digivance system is affected, which unit (HU or RU) reported the alarm, and the fault that generated the alarm. Then refer to either Section 3.

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 4: MAINTENANCE 3.1 Host Unit Troubleshooting Use this section to troubleshoot alarms that originate with the Host Unit. When a Minor alarm occurs, one (or more) of the Host Unit LED’s with turn yellow and the EMS software will indicate a minor fault/alarm. When a Major alarm occurs, one (or more) of the Host Unit LED’s will turn red and the EMS software will report a major fault/alarm.
