CrossFire – A revolution in RF Transport for In Building Wireless User Manual Connection & Query Status Alarm Parameter Configuration Completion Figure 7-2 EU Debugging Procedures 7.1. Network Management System Setup for SNMP The site number must be set using the WebOMT on the Master AU before connecting to the network management system (NMS). The NMS should identify devices by their unique site number. Network parameters also need to be set up for the specific network.
CrossFire – A revolution in RF Transport for In Building Wireless User Manual Figure 7-3 NMS Setup 7.2. Channel 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 RU with the corresponding frequency band and set the channel properties in the WebOMT of the Master AU.
CrossFire – A revolution in RF Transport for In Building Wireless User Manual 3. Set the uplink and downlink operating frequency band limits for channels 1, 2, 3 and 4. (See step 1 in Figure 7-4.) 4. Set the uplink and downlink centre frequencies and the bandwidth for signals 1, 2, 3 and 4. (See step 2 in Figure 7-4.) 5. Click Set to validate the parameter values. (See step 4 in Figure 7-4.) Ensure the value of CH1~4 info is valid. 6.

Software Upgrade The Master AU consolidates the management of software upgrades for the entire system and saves the last software package for the AU, EU and RU. Slave devices compare the local software with that saved in the Master AU at run time. If the software version is different, the slave device will start the software upgrade progress and reset automatically after the upgrade is complete.

On the software upgrade page, as shown in Figure 8-3, click the Upload button to upload the RU or EU software package file. Figure 8-3 Software Upgrade Step 2 3. When the software upload has completed successfully, select the file that was just uploaded and click the Upgrade button to complete the software upgrade, as shown in Figure 8-4 for an RU upgrade.

As shown in Figure 8-5, set up the FTP server IP address, port number, login name, login password, file storage path and filename to be upgraded. Then, set the FTP File Transfer Control item to “Start upgrade”. To complete the upgrade, click the Set button to download the software from the FTP server.

Regular Maintenance When the IDAS is running, regular inspection is recommended, as follows: 1. Check that RF and power cables are connected securely and that all screws are tight. If any connections pose a safety hazard, deal with them as soon as possible. 2. Check the ground status of the device. 3. Measure the power supply voltage of the devices. 4.
CrossFire – A revolution in RF Transport for In Building Wireless User Manual 10. Application Scenarios This section describes various configuration scenarios for the IDAS. 10.1. Operators Located at Same Site In this example, operators A, B, C, D and E are located at the same site (see Figure 10-1). Operators B and C operate in the same frequency band, which can be combined in one channel in “the RF domain”.

A maximum of four RUs can cascade when RU1 is connected to the EU and a maximum of five RUs can cascade when RU1 is directly connected to the AU. (See Figure 10-4) The maximum bandwidth per operating band should be less than 60MHz and the maximum bandwidth of all operators should be less than 200 MHz.
