VERTICALITY OF THE BEARING: + – 0.5 º FOR STANDARD ANTENNAS. + – 0,25 º FOR LARGE GAIN ANTENNAS. NEVER INSTALL THE BEARING AXIS HORIZONTALLY; THE ODU MUST BE ABOVE THE POLE MOUNTING AND NOT PROJECT LATERALLY. Considerations – Installation can be carried out on an existing or newly installed tube or pole. – The external diameter of the tube or pole is 114 mm in standard configuration. Nota : Other tube diameters may be used depending on the loads to be supported: minimum diameter 76 mm.
3.4.3 – Installation of the RBS radio antenna All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from ALCATEL Considerations – The form of the sectored antennas may vary. Always refer to the “TOP” marking on the antenna when installing on the pole mounting. – The orientation of the waveguide is not linked to the polarization for this type of antenna.
1. Take the ODU by the handle and place the two bosses in the “nose” of the unit against the two slots in the “nose” of the antenna (the ODU–IDU link cable should be towards the base of the ODU). Nota : According to the RBS antenna used, the ODU unit should be installed in horizontal or vertical handle position. This installation is not within polarization control. Refer to the antenna installation kayways. 2.

Crimp a lug (ref. 16–6 CT) on to the grounding cable of the pole–mounting and RBS assembly. 4. Connect both grounding cables to the one of the holes on the support back panel.
– Installation of the link between RBS and DBS Considerations – The electrical link between RBS unit and DBS rack of the Base Station is by one single coaxial cable per T/R (Figure 20). This cable, using double–shielding, is of the ET 390998 type. USE ONLY THE ET 390998 CABLE. – Physical cable characteristics: S diameter = 11 mm, S maximum installed cable length = 200 meters, S minimum bend radius: 60 mm.
All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from ALCATEL Nota : Avoid a too long parallel walk between RBS/DBS coaxial link and electrical cables. NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE CABLE TIE ON THE CABLE; THIS COULD CAUSE DEFORMATION OF THE DIELECTRIC AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF PERFORMANCE. 5. Note the length of the cable installed.
– Base Station indoor equipment installation Considerations Nota : This manual deals with the DBS sub–rack and the DC/DC power supply units (PSU) installed in a rack (standard 20U 19” rack or other standardized 19”–wide rack). – The rack containing the DBS sub–rack assembly and DC/DC PSUs is for indoor installation only. – The 9900BS indoor rack will be positioned according to user needs and technical constraints (e.g.

–The installation of rack and subrack must enable the ventilation shown here. Do not obstruct the air inlets and outlets. 1. Choose the location where the equipment is to be assembled and unpack the standard rack. If its top cover is fitted, remove it (quarter–turn screw). Nota : Place the rack in such a way that the cable connections are accessible before the rack is installed definitively. 2. Unpack the DBS sub–rack assembly and install it inside the rack. Screw into place. 3.

The grayed out fields are for consultation only: their content cannot be modified; The fields on a white background can be modified: left–click to make the cursor appear inside the field, then enter the character string required. According to the same principle, the buttons, icons and items in the pull–down menus become grayed out when they are inactive. 4.1.2.3 – Confirmation, closing a window, canceling an entry In the lower part of the windows there may be buttons (which may or may not be active; cf.
4.1.2.5 – Title, menu, button and status message bars All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from ALCATEL The various information and functionalities of the 9900LT are accessible in several forms of MMI: Title bars (at the top of the main window): for information only; this is the title of the window. Menu bar (below the title bar): each menu contains items.
– Running and quitting the software 4.2.1 – Installation of the 9900LT software The 9900LT is either loaded on the PC which came with the BS, or comes on an installation medium (e.g., CD–ROM). If you need to install the 9900LT software, refer to the “A9900 Craft installation” Appendix; otherwise, go directly to the next paragraph to run the already installed software. 4.2.

– Connection and Disconnection 4.3.1 – BS Connection The BS connection process consists partly in the NE “Agent” identifying the “Manager” and partly in the retrieval of data for the NE assembly on the 9900LT software by manual request: this involves the updating of site information. ONLY ONE LT SESSION IS OPERATIONEL ON ONE BS.FOR EXEMPLE A LOCAL LT CONNECTION AND A REMOTE LT CONNECTION AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SAME BS,IS NOT POSIIBLE.

Once the update is completed, two new windows are displayed: – one screen providing a global view of the base station (cf. § 4.5); – and one screen summarising the current alarms (cf. § 4.10) 4.3.
– Supervision Principles The 9900LT can be used for supervising the whole A9900 Network Element (NE) system. The NE comprises of: – a Base Station (9900BS) which mainly includes a Radio unit (RBS) and a MODEM rack (DBS) – one or more Terminal Stations (9900TS) which mainly include a Radio unit (RT) and a User connection unit (NT). Nevertheless the 9900LT software does not manage RT units. The display allows system control; alarms are activated in particular to signify any intervention.

To access the synchronization parameters, click on the button shown here (in the button bar of the BS screen). This involves defining the setup rules for the synchronization sources used . There is one default sync source (internal oscillator) and six configurable sources: ATM, external clock and the four TNT boards. The TNT boards have 16 E1 ports and 4 can be used as synchronization ports: these are ports 1, 5, 9 and 13.

For service traffic supervision, refer to § 4.7. For synchronization, refer to § 4.9.3. 4.11.1 – Leased lines (E1) The purpose of this section is to explain the use of the 9900LT to carry out E1 type cross–connection (up to 2 Mbits/s), i.e.

All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from ALCATEL The implementation stages for an E1 cross–connection are as follows: 1. Ports configuration: BS side and NT side: cf. § 4.11.1.3; 2. Selection of configured ports for cross–connect: cf. § 4.11.1.4; 3. Cross–connect between time–slots of selected ports: cf. § 4.11.1.5; 4.

In this case, 31 time–slots can be cross–connected for each port; the maximum bitrate is 31*64 kbits/s, with the first time–slot (grayed out) reserved for synchronization. To implement the cross–connect, proceed in the same way as for non–structured ports, but this time selecting the time–slots individually.
