Chapter 3. System Overview This section overviews features and capabilities of Eclipse with IRU 600 for the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band. Eclipse with IRU600, 5.8 GHz, is compliant with FCC CFR47, Part 15.247. • It has been tested and certified for use with a parabolic antenna with a maximum gain of 45.4 dBi or a flat panel antenna with a maximum gain of 28 dBi. • The filters used in the IRU 600 RF unit allow for transmission only in the frequency range 5725 - 5850MHz to ensure compliance with Part 15.247.
Chapter 3. System Overview Refer to: • Eclipse Indoor Units • Eclipse IRU 600 • Platform Layout • Protection Options • Eclipse Licensing • Configuration and Management • Eclipse Antennas • Eclipse Power Supply Eclipse Indoor Units There are two indoor units, the INU, and INUe (extended INU). The INU is a 1RU chassis, the INUe is 2RU. Mandatory plug-ins are the NCC (Node Control Card) and FAN (Fan card).
Eclipse Installation Manual INUe The INUe requires one NCC and one 2RU FAN. It has provision for up to ten option cards and supports a maximum of five RFUs for five non-protected links, or two protected/diversity links plus one non-protected link. Figure 3-2. INUe Plug-in Cards Plug-in cards for the INU or INUe enable quick and easy customization on Eclipse configurations. All cards are hot-pluggable. • RACs support the radio modem function.
Chapter 3. System Overview • It incorporates a router function for local and remote network management interconnection. • Eclipse configuration and licensing data is held in flash-memory. • Required power supply is -48 Vdc (-40.5 to -60 Vdc). • FAN (Fan card) provides forced-air cooling. This is a mandatory card. • NPC (Node Protection Card) provides 1+1 protection functions for the NCC power supply and backplane management. • PCC (Power Conversion Card) supports operation from a a +24 Vdc power supply.
Eclipse Installation Manual RAC 6X RAC 6X adds CCDP operation to RAC 60 capabilities. Two RAC 6X cards are operated as a CCDP pair, either in the same INU, or in separate co-located INUs to provide double the capacity over one channel using both the horizontal and vertical polarizations. An XPIC function between the RACs ensures cross-polarization interference is eliminated. Figure 3-4.

Different SFPs support 1310nm single or multi-mode, or 850nm multi-mode.
Chapter 3. System Overview NCC The NCC is a mandatory plug-in for an INU/INUe. It performs key node management and control functions, and provides various dc rails from the -48 Vdc input. It also incorporates a plug-in flash card, which holds Node configuration and license data. Power input limits are -40.5 to -60 Vdc. The power connector is a D-Sub M/F 2W2. The +ve dc return pin is connected to chassis ground. Figure 3-16. NCC FAN The FAN is a mandatory plug-in. There are two variants, 2RU and 1RU.
Eclipse Installation Manual Eclipse IRU 600 The IRU 600 is a 3RU rack-mounted transceiver unit for co-location with an INU/ INUe as an all-indoor installation. IRU 600 is 1+1 optimized with provision for two RFUs (Radio Frequency Unit) and a companion filter-based ACU (Antenna Coupler Unit). Transmit power output is limited to a maximum 29.5 dBm at the antenna port to ensure compliance witt the conducted power limit (1W, 30 dBm) in FCC CFR 47, Part 15.247.
Chapter 3. System Overview • With a Tx mute configured on the offline Tx, its Tx status cannot be monitored. A solution to guard against this leading to a possible unreported standby Tx failure situation will be available in a latter SW release. This will enable periodic activation of the standby Tx for health monitoring purposes - it will be turned on, checked and turned off again.
Eclipse Installation Manual If one of the two FANs becomes faulty (FAN Fault alarm), always replace both FANs. IRU 600 replacement FANs are supplied in a kit of two FANs. Tx Monitoring Port IRU 600v2 Tx filters incorporate a Tx monitoring port (SMA connector) to provide a 30 dB attenuated (nominal) sample for test and measurement purposes. A label on the ACU shows the ex-factory insertion loss of the port. 5.8 GHz Unlicensed Band The RFU for the 5.
Chapter 3. System Overview • Common 5.8 GHz and L6 RFU supports easy migration from one band to the other (from unlicensed to licensed and vice-versa). • RFUs can be retained during migration, but ACU must be replaced (not retuned). • Extensive protection and diversity options. • Output power (at 5.8 GHz) is limited to 29 dBm at the antenna port for IRU 600, and 29.5 dBm for IRU 600v2. This is to ensure compliance with the FCC 1 Watt rule.
Eclipse Installation Manual INUe • Supports up to five 1+0 RAC 60 links or four RAC 6X links • Supports two 1+1 protected links (4xRACs) Slot 3 Slot 6 Slot 8 Slot 9 Slot 7 NCC Slot 10 Fan Slot 2 Slot 5 Fan Slot 1 Slot 4 • Slots 1 to 6 support radio or port options. Slots 7 to 9 support port options only. Port traffic options include: • Ethernet, DS1, DS3, OC3 • Auxiliary data and alarm I/O • Slot 10 is reserved for the NPC option IRU 600 • IRU 600: • QPSK to 256 QAM.
Chapter 3. System Overview 1. Internal (backplane bus) NMS access is only provided on slots 1 to 6. Do not install DAC 155oM or AUX in slots 7 to 9 if an NMS connection is required in their configuration. Data is transported natively over an Eclipse wireless link, whether Ethernet or TDM.
Eclipse Installation Manual Protection Options Eclipse supports link, interface, network, and platform protection options: Link/Path Protection Hot-standby, space diversity, frequency diversity, or dual protection options are available. RACs and their companion IRU 600 are protectable. Rx voting is hitless/errorless; Tx switching is not hitless. The maximum restoration time for a Tx switch is 200 ms. A remote Tx switch is forced in the event of a silent Tx failure.
Chapter 3. System Overview Ring and Mesh Networks RWPRTM (Resilient Wireless Packet Ring) is a fast-switched RSTP link management protocol for layer 2 switches. RSTP, itself a fast switched evolution of the original STP, prevents live network loops and provides path redundancy where two or more paths exist between network nodes. • RWPR represents a particularly effective enhanced RSTP protocol. When configured in Eclipse ring networks, reconvergence times are as low as 50 mS.
Eclipse Installation Manual Power Supply Protection • Protection is hitless for an NCC power supply failure. If the NCC converter or one of its supply rails fails, the NPC will take over without interruption. And vice versa. • With an NPC installed, the NCC can be withdrawn and replaced without further impacting traffic. • For 24 Vdc operation two PCCs are required for platform protection, one each for the NCC and NPC. Eclipse Licensing Eclipse is subject to capacity and feature licensing.
Chapter 3. System Overview Configuration and Management Eclipse is a software-driven product; there are no manual controls. Configuration and management is achieved via Portal and ProVision. • Portal is a PC based configuration and diagnostics tool for Eclipse. • ProVision is the Eclipse network element manager. ProVision also supports other Aviat products, including legacy products.
Eclipse Installation Manual Eclipse Power Supply Eclipse is designed to operate from a -48 Vdc power supply (+ve earth) but will operate to specification over a voltage range of -40.5 to -60 Vdc. A plug-in PCC option provides a voltage conversion function for locations where the power supply is +24 Vdc. It converts + 24 (19 to 36) Vdc to -56 Vdc for connection to the INU -48Vdc input. -56 Vdc represents the typical float voltage for a battery-backed -48 Vdc supply.

Eclipse Installation Manual Power Consumption and INU Load Maximums Total power consumed is dependent on the number and type of plug-in cards, and the number and type of IRU 600s. • The number and type of RACs and DACs that can be installed in an INU are determined by the load capacity and temperature limits of the DC converter in the NCC, which supplies various DC rails to the plug-in cards. • IRU 600s and FANs are not powered via the NCC converter.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Configuration Power Sourced from INU Power Sourced from External DC Connector Total DC Power 2+0 or 1+1 FD, High Power (2xRFU), IRU 600v2 104 76W 180W 1+1 MHSB or SD, High Power (2xRFU), IRU 600v2 104W 76W 180W 1+1 MHSB or SD, Power Save Mode (Offline Tx Mute), High Power (2xRFU), IRU 600v2 82W 42W 124W Node Card Maximums From SW release 5.
Eclipse Installation Manual • If the total power consumption of all cards installed exceeds 85 watts, an NPC must be fitted, a 2RU FAN card must be fitted, and 5.04 or later SW loaded. • With this configuration confirmed (NPC + 2RU FAN + 5.04 SW or later) the maximum INUe loading enabled is 150 watts. The exceptions/conditions to this rule are: • INUe loading is limited to 140 watts if the installed total of DAC GE3 cards exceeds two. • The combined installed total of DAC GE3 cards must not exceed four.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe • The PCC must be connected to the NCC before applying power to the PCC to avoid a current-inrush trip (overload) on the PCC. • The PCC can be plugged into any INU/INUe option slot. It is not connected to the backplane and is its function is not monitored within Portal. • Where an NPC is fitted, two PCCs are required for +24 Vdc operation, one for the NCC, the other for the NPC. This means an INUe must be used for NCC + NPC operation.
Eclipse Installation Manual Fuses The NCC and NPC are fitted with a fast-acting 25 A fuse fitted on the PCB behind the power cable connector. The PCC is fitted with a fast-acting PCB-mounted 20A fuse. NCC, NPC and PCC fuses are not field-replaceable. FAN Air Filter Option A fan air filter option is available for installation with the FAN module in an INU, and with the 2RU FAN module in an INUe.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Installation instructions are included with the fan filter kit. Figure 6-5. Location of Fan Air Filter in INUe Power Line Filter Option An external DC power line filter option is available and must be installed with an INU/ INUe for NEBS compliance.

Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Function/Requirement Priority NPC Details Only one NPC is required to provide the NCC protection option. An NPC must be installed in slot 4 of an INU, or slot 10 of an INUe. If an NPC is not installed in an INU, slot 4 is available as a universal slot. Installing / Changing Plug-ins ESD grounding strap Always connect yourself to the INU/INUe with an ESD grounding strap before changing or removing a plug-in. Failure to do so can cause ESD damage to the plug-ins.
Eclipse Installation Manual Function/Requirement Priority RAC combinations for INUe Details An INUe can be fitted with a maximum of: • Five RAC 60s. • Four RAC 6Xs. (The reduced RAC numbers are to ensure temperature limits within the INUe are not exceeded at high ambients. See Node Card Maximums.) DACs DAC combinations DACs can be fitted singly or in combination to provide a mix of interface types and capacities provided they have a common backplane configuration. The backplane can be set for 1.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Installing an INU Procedure 1. Fit the rack mounting ears to the chassis with the grounding stud to left or right side for the most direct ground wire path to the rack ground bar. 2. Locate the INU/INUe in the equipment rack and secure it using four No.12 Phillips dome-head screws from the IDC installation kit. 3. Where NEBS compliance is required, install the power line filter unit. Install immediately below or above the INU.
Eclipse Installation Manual Where a fan air filter is to be installed, install it prior to installing the FAN plug-in. 7. Install the CompactFlash card in the NCC plug-in; withdraw the NCC and insert in the socket on the right side of the PCB. 8. Fit the IF cable between the RAC(s) and IRU 600 RFU(s). IF cables are supplied with the IRU 600. Fit the DAC tributary cables. For a DAC 16x, ensure correct orientation of the Mini RJ-21 connector before pushing it home.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Eclipse dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to be routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept away from any AC power lines which cross them. 13. Carry out a complete check of the installation. If all is correct, and the IRU 600 and its waveguide, pressurization and antenna installation has likewise been completed and checked, Eclipse is now ready for power-on.
