I PRE‐INSTALLATION Chapter 1 Prerequisites Chapter 2 Site Preparation
PREREQUISITES 1 About This Chapter This chapter describes the prerequisites for installing the QuadPAC.
Chapter 1: Prerequisites Test Client Hardware A laptop PC, known as the test client, is required for the installation, configuration, verification, and network integration of the QuadPAC. The recommended requirements for the test client are listed in Table 5. Table 5 Test Client Requirements Component Recommended Processor 1.
Engineering Planning Requirements Engineering Planning Requirements 27 This section includes: ■ IP Address Assignment IP Address Assignment This section includes: ■ Test Client IP Addressing ■ Access Network IP Addressing Test Client IP Addressing The test client is used to connect to the QuadPAC for the initial configuration and must be on the same subnet as the QuadPAC factory default IP (see Table 17).
Chapter 1: Prerequisites Passwords and Usernames The icell EV‐DO software deployed on the QuadPAC has default usernames and passwords configured. Table 9 and Table 10 list the usernames and passwords used to connect to the QuadPAC. Table 9 ssh Login Information RAN Component Default Username RNC rnc Contact Star Solutions support engineering for password information. root Contact Star Solutions support engineering for password information.
2 About This Chapter SITE PREPARATION The QuadPAC has specific structural, electrical, and telecommunications requirements. When selecting and preparing a site, specific personnel and documents must be available to ensure the device is installed correctly and safely. This chapter describes how to prepare the site for the installation of the QuadPAC. This chapter includes: Site Requirements ■ Site Requirements ■ Site Installation Checklist The QuadPAC is designed to be mounted in a 19 inch rack.
Chapter 2: Site Preparation Mounting Options The QuadPAC is designed to be mounted in a 19 inch rach and must be installed in an indoor environment. Power Requirements The AC QuadPAC site must be cabled with sufficient AC power. It accepts voltages of 120 @ 60Hz to 230 VAC @ 50Hz.
Site Requirements 31 GPS Receiver Protection The QuadPAC may connect to the roof‐mounted GPS antenna and should be protected with a surge suppressor that is attached to the exterior of the building and installed in the cabling pathway. This is applicable only when the GPS Module is deployed with the QuadPAC. Space Requirements The QuadPAC requires sufficient area clearance to provide adequate space for the bending radius necessary for the required RF cables.
Chapter 2: Site Preparation Verifying Temperature Control Verify the functionality of the air conditioning units to ensure the QuadPAC will never be subjected to temperatures and humidity levels outside the ranges listed in Table 11.
II INSTALLATION Chapter 3 QuadPAC Installation Chapter 4 Interface Connections
3 About This Chapter Unpacking the Shipment QUADPAC INSTALLATION This chapter includes: ■ Unpacking the Shipment ■ Installing the QuadPAC Inspect the packing container immediately on arrival at the installation site to verify that no damage has occurred during shipment. Warning: Do not open the casing. No user serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. If any damage is observed, notify the shipper immediately to begin the insurance claim process.
Chapter 3: QuadPAC Installation Installing the QuadPAC This section includes: ■ ■ Installing the Mounting Ears Mounting the QuadPAC into the Rack Warning: Remove power to the unit before removing or installing the QuadPAC. Installing the Mounting Ears To install the mounting ears onto the QuadPAC unit: 1 Screw the bracket (80483868GS) to the mounting ear (80483869GS), using the KXX01336GS and KXX01337GS washers and KXX02013GS Phillips pan‐head screws as shown in Figure 4.
Installing the QuadPAC 37 Mounting the QuadPAC into Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 for the following instructions. the Rack To mount the QuadPAC in the rack: 1 Tilt the QuadPAC unit, put the unit inside the rack and ensure the mounting ears are outside the rack. See Figure 6. 2 Lift the QuadPAC unit up to the correct horizontal position. See Figure 7 3 Using a Phillips #2 screw driver, connect the QuadPAC unit to the rack with the flat washer, lock washer and M6 screws. Use 2 screw sets per corner.
Chapter 3: QuadPAC Installation Grounding Ground the QuadPAC iusing the 1U chassis. To ground the QuadPAC: 1 Using the #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove one of the sets of rack mount screws, lock washers and flat washers. 2 Replace the flat washer with the ground cable slug. 3 Using the #2 Phillips screwdriver, re‐install the screw, lock washer and ground cable slug. (See Figure 8.) 4 Using the #2 Phillips screwdriver, screw the other side of the ground cable into the grounding rod.

For example, if you use the right ETH+PP1S port coming from the DO‐BTS, use the right ETH port going out to the switch. See Figure 16.
Chapter 4: Interface Connections “All In One” connection mode The “All In One” connection setup allows a single interface from the QuadPAC to the network. This connection setup is used when the PDSN application is configured on the CPU module or when there is only a single interface available through the network. Figure 17 and Figure 18 show the “All In One” connection setup for the hardware configurations of a QuadPAC with a GPS Module and a QuadPAC with a Clock Module, respectively.

RF Antenna Connections RF Antenna Connections 49 The RF antennas are connected to the Tx and Rx SMA connectors on the DO‐BTS Module. See Figure 20. Figure 20 RF Antenna Connections on DO‐BTS Module TX and RX Antenna Ports MAIN ETH Tx OUT STARSOLUTIONSTM GPS Antenna Connection Rx IN Status BTS MODULE The GPS antenna is connected to the GPS SMA connector on the GPS Module. See Figure 21.
Chapter 4: Interface Connections Power Connection To connect power to the QuadPAC: 1 Ensure the breaker switch on the Power Supply Module is in the "OFF" position. 2 Connect the AC power cable. Warning: Power connections to the QuadPAC must comply with local safety codes. Warning: Power connections must be performed by qualified personnel only. To power the QuadPAC on, toggle the power switch on the Power Supply Module to the "ON" position. (See Figure 22.
Status LED Status LED 51 The QuadPAC has a single external status LED that displays the state of the unit. This allows the user to determine the state of the system before other communication methods, such as an IP connection, have been established. The QuadPAC has status LEDs on the DO‐BTS, Clock and CPU Modules. The LED behavior on each module represents the status of that specific module. Table 16 lists the relationship between the LED behavior and the status of each module.
