CrossFire iDAS – All-Digital Transport System User Guide 7.1.5. Standby battery connection A plug is connected to a power source on the output wire of the device’s lithium battery. To prevent battery discharge, battery will be unplugged and packaged in component box before shipping. After the device is operating, plug it in to ensure normal reporting in case of device shutting down. © SUNWAVE SOLUTIONS LIMITED 2017 48 Version 1.
CrossFire iDAS – All-Digital Transport System User Guide 8. System Debugging Setup At the point that all devices are powered on after deployment and connection, it is highly recommended to connect a laptop to Master AU to enable system debugging. Check each device’s working status. The optical interface indicator LEDs should stay green and stay lit and the STATUS indicator LEDs should be green and flash every 3 seconds. Now, start the online debugging according to Figure 8-1 and Figure 8-2.
CrossFire iDAS – All-Digital Transport System User Guide Connection & Query Status Alarm Parameter Configuration Completion Figure 8-2 EU-E Debugging Procedures 8.1. Network Management System Setup for SNMP CrossFire system supports Network Management System (NMS) for monitoring the whole system. Each slave devices in system is assigned a unique Site ID automatically by Master AU while Master AU Site ID is default as Device IP Addr in LAN Connectivity on AU WebOMT.
CrossFire iDAS – All-Digital Transport System User Guide Figure 8-3 NMS Setup 8.2. Band Properties Configuration According to the different base station operating frequency bands for each operator, select the passive RF modules for the AU and active RF modules for the NPRU with the corresponding frequency band and set the Band properties in the WebOMT of the Master AU. The limits of the uplink and downlink operating frequency bands correspond to the effective RF range of the selected RF modules.
CrossFire iDAS – All-Digital Transport System User Guide Figure 8-4 Setting Modules Properties 8.3. Band Configuration for Mapping NPRU supports a range of 700 ~ 2700 MHz signal for downlink and uplink. And it is not set any band class as default. Therefore it is most important to set Band Configuration in EU-E OMT to create mapping between AU and NPRU, which should be done before CrossFire system start to operate. This section instructs how to set Band Configuration in EU-E OMT for mapping. 1. 2. 3. 4.

CrossFire iDAS – All-Digital Transport System User Guide 8.5. Isolation Detector Antenna to antenna isolation is a key consideration in the design of Crossfire NPRU System. Sufficient isolation is required to ensure that interference between antennas is kept within acceptable levels (Tx antenna to Rx antenna isolation shall be over 45dBm; higher values are preferred for equipment to operate effectively).
CrossFire iDAS – All-Digital Transport System User Guide Wait 3~5 minutes after completing the setup, query to see if there is an alarm in the device. Figure 8-11 Alarm Parameters Setup 8.6.1. Alarm level Figure 8-12 Alarm Level The alarm level is distinguished to four levels— Warning, Minor, Major, Critical corresponding to the alarm level on NMS.

CrossFire iDAS – All-Digital Transport System User Guide 9. Software Upgrade The Master AU consolidates the management of software upgrades for the entire system and saves the last software package information for AU, EU-E and NPRU shown as Figure 9-1. Slave devices will compare the local software with latest information saved in Master AU by checking CRC at run time. If the CRC is different, slave devices will be synchronized via current software package from Master AU.
