1 Safety Precautions PLEASE READ THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS! RF Energy Health Hazard The radio equipment described in this guide uses radio frequency transmitters. Although the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a directional antenna may pose a health hazard. Do not allow people to come in close proximity to the front of the antenna while the transmitter is operating.
1-2 Safety Precautions FCC Notice, USA Axxcelera Digital Radios comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. The radios are specifically designed to be used under Part 15, Section 15.247 of the FCC rules and regulations. Operation is subject to following conditions: • • The device to utilize a fixed mount antenna, for use on a permanent outdoor structure. The device to be installed by qualified installation/deployment personnel.
2 System Description 2.1 About This Manual This manual is written for those who are involved in the “hands-on” installation of the CarrierWave Digital Radio, such as installation technicians, site evaluators, project managers, and network engineers. It assumes the reader has a basic understanding of how to install hardware, use Windows based software, and operate test equipment. 2.
2-2 System Description The CarrierWave Digital Radio includes integrated Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P) functionality and design features enabling simple commissioning when the radio network is initially set up in the field at the customer’s premises. Furthermore, a highlight of CarrierComm’s radio products is scalability and the capability to support a ring-type architecture.

User Reference and Installation Manual 2-9 Power Supply DC Input -48 VDC -48v (Isolated Input); 2-pin captive power connector. The CarrierWave Digital Radio requires an input of –37 to –60 volts dc at the rear panel DC Input connector. The total required power is a maximum of 70 W. The IDU rear panel power connector pin numbering is 1 through 2, from left to right, when facing the unit rear panel. Pin 1 is the power supply return and is connected to unit chassis ground internally.

2-12 System Description interleaves/deinterleaves the data stream in accordance with Intelsat standards to ensure modulation efficiency and resilience to sustained burst errors. The modulation will vary by application, data rate, and frequency spectrum. The highest order modulation mode supported is 64 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). Table 2-4 summarizes the TCM/convolutional code rates for each modulation type supported by the Digital Radio. Table 2-4.
User Reference and Installation Manual 2-13 Figure 2-7. Ring Configuration. SONET/SDH rings are inherently self-healing. Each ring has both an active path and a standby path. Network traffic normally uses the active path. Should one section of the ring fail, the network will switch to the standby path. Switchover occurs in seconds. There may be a brief delay in service, but no loss of payload, thus maintaining high levels of network availability.
2-14 System Description Figure 2-8.
User Reference and Installation Manual 2-15 2.7 Power Management RF power management is a radio design feature that controls the power level (typically expressed in dBm) of the RF signal received from a transmitter by a receiver. The traditional goal of power management is to ensure that the RF signal at a receiver is strong enough to maintain the radio link under changing weather and link conditions.
2-16 System Description 2.8 CarrierWave iWareTM Software and Network Management iWareTM is the software suite that is fully compatible with SNMP (v1) and standard NMS software. All of the CarrierWave Digital Radio parameters are accessible through the fully featured MIB, allowing for automation of data collection and network management. iWareTM includes: • iPorterTM: capability to remotely manage the software.

User Reference and Installation Manual 3-5 3.5 Site Evaluation A site evaluation consists of a series of procedures for gathering specific information about potential CarrierWave Digital Radio locations. This information is critical to the successful design and deployment of a network. Site evaluations are required to confirm whether or not a building meets network design requirements.
3-6 • Installation • Identify potential buildings by identifying targeted customers (applicable if you’re a service provider) • Identify potential links by selecting buildings based on the high probability of line of sight Arrange for access with the facility personnel into the buildings, equipment rooms, and architectural plans to become familiar with the location of all ducts, risers, etc. 3.5.2 Site Evaluation Process The following steps must be completed to perform a successful site evaluation.
User Reference and Installation Manual • 3-7 - Transmitting and/or receiving frequency - Type of antenna - Distance from CarrierWave ODU (horizontal and vertical) - Polarity (horizontal or vertical) - Transmit power level - Antenna direction Measure the Link Distance: The two ways to measure link distance are as follows: - GPS: record the latitude and longitude for the near and far CarrierWave ODU sites and calculate the link distance.
3-8 Installation • Confirm the Presence of DC Power for the CarrierWave IDU. • Ensure Building Aesthetics: The CarrierWave ODU’s streamlined exterior is designed to complement building aesthetics. Ensure that the ODU can be mounted so that it is aesthetically pleasing to the environment and to the property owner. Aesthetics must be approved by the property owner and the network engineer. • Take Site Photographs • Sketch the Site 3.5.3 Critical System Calculations 3.5.3.
User Reference and Installation Manual • Frequency • Terrain (smooth, average, mountainous, valleys) • Climate (dry, temperate, hot, humid) 3-9 Depending on the type of traffic carried over the link and the overall network design redundancy, fade margin should be included to support the desired availability rate. Critical data and voice may require a very high availability rate (99.999% or 5.3 minutes of predicted outage per year).
