MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X12-8 ©2007 RadioFrame Networks, Inc. MC-SeriesCONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARYNote: The default is +36 dBm per carrier, assuming that the datafill parameter defaultTxPower is set to 9.5. If necessary, adjust the datafill parameter (refer to section 2.3.5 (defaultTxPower)). 12. Measure the SQE and frequency error for the control channel to see if they are within specifications. 13. Verify that all BRs have the same output power. For each channel, enter the frequency into the R2660 and verify that the SQE, frequency error, and power level are all within specifications.14. Repeat steps 7 through 13 as needed for each sector.15. Review the Active Alarm Manager for any un-cleared alarms.Refer to the section (System Manager Alarms) for more information. 2.3 Management—Datafill, Configuration and OptimizationThis section describes configuration techniques that affect the behavior of the MC-Series OPM system. The Datafill section covers the datafill parameters as they differ from the Motorola EBTS. Section System Manager, Configuration, and Optimization covers configuration options using System Manager, with sections Navigating System Manager and Configuring the MC-Series OPM System introducing basic operations and Optimization Procedures presenting optimization procedures.The MC-Series OPM system is designed for compatibility with the Motorola EBRC and QUAD Base Radios (BRs). However, due to architecture differences between the two systems, not all datafill parameters apply equally to the MC-Series OPM system.2.3.1 DatafillThis section describes only those datafill parameters that need to be taken into consideration when used with the MC-Series OPM system. Any datafill parameter not described here can be assumed to behave identically to the Motorola EBTS. This section includes: • 2.3.2 (Parameters that Do Not Apply to the MC-Series OPM System) Parameters that have no effect on the MC-Series OPM system• 2.3.3 (Recommended Datafill Parameters) Parameters that RadioFrame Networks supports, but which need to be setup differently from the typical setup for a Motorola BR2.3.2 Parameters that Do Not Apply to the MC-Series OPM SystemThe following parameters have no effect on the MC-Series OPM system. There is no functional equivalent in the MC-Series OPM system, and as such the parameters can be ignored.
MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide998-5005-01 Rev X1MC-Series ©2007 RadioFrame Networks, Inc. 2-9CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARYA. combinerTypeThis parameter specifies the type of combiner used to connect the cells Base Radios to the antenna. The options are hybrid and cavity. The MC-Series OPM system is similar to a cavity type combiner physically but it does not have the same frequency limitations as the cavity combiner that this parameter is used for.2.3.3 Recommended Datafill ParametersThe following parameters need to be set differently than what is currently set with Motorola BR. These settings are not required but recommended for best operation.A. PCC The power control constant is broadcast on the BCCH and is used by the MS to calculate a target value for its transmit power. For Indoor Pico and Micro-Cell applications this value will vary depending upon the RF environment (i.e., if used outdoors the value will be quite different from an indoor scenario). For the MC-Series OPM system, the setting of this parameter depends on what is connected between the MC-Series OPM system and the antenna. The default value should be calculated in accordance with Motorola guidance detailed in the Datafill Parameter Guide. Lowering this parameter forces the mobile to operate at fairly low Tx level thus conserving battery life. In cases where the MC-Series OPM system is connected to a DAS, the gains and losses of the paths should be taken into consideration. Additionally the level of uplink interference should be considered when determining this value.B. Pto (transmit power)The Cells outbound transmit power referenced at the output of the RF Distribution System Antenna Port. It is used as a reference point value when computing the link budget of the system. RadioFrame Networks recommends that the value of this parameter be set appropriate to the TOR output power, which is determined by the defaultTxPower parameter (see below).2.3.4 rxTxGain = 0This parameter is the difference in gain between the receiver and transmit antenna paths expressed in dB. The MC-Series OPM system does not use this parameter directly. 2.3.5 defaultTxPowerNote: Refer to release notes for the proper range information.This is the average output power of the PA, measured at the RF connector of the BR. For the MC-Series OPM system, this parameter can be used to adjust the output power of the system. The gain at the shelf is fixed and cannot be altered.
MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X12-10 ©2007 RadioFrame Networks, Inc. MC-SeriesCONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARYThe MC-Series OPM system has a different range of output levels than a standard Motorola EBTS, and as such, these values will map to a different set of actual Tx output power levels.

For these reasons, only if the blade continues to generate these faults under normal operating circumstances is an alarm generated.The RadioBlade transceiver faults are listed in Table 5.9.Table 5.9 Faults by the Transceiver If a RadioBlade transceiver generates enough errors such that it crosses the Bounce and Duration threshold for that particular error, an alarm will be generated. This alarm will also cause the RadioBlade Locking Policy to lock that RadioBlade transceiver.

This could be the result of an alarm, insertion, removal or intervention (the user specifically locking the RadioBlade transceiver).In general, the policy is that if a blade is taken out of service and a standby RadioBlade transceiver is available, then the standby RadioBlade transceiver will go into service. If no standby RadioBlade transceiver is available then the associated BR(s) will be locked. (For the Multi-Channel RadioBlade transceiver, the locking event locks all carriers.)The RadioBlade locking policy is enabled by default and in effect at all times. 5.6.2 Standby BladeA Standby Blade is an extra RadioBlade transceiver that is installed in the system but does not have a configured BR with which to register. To setup Standby Blades, make sure that there are more RadioBlade transceivers for each DRBS Group than Base Radios configured in the iDEN configuration page.In all the conditions described below, if RadioBlade transceivers are present in the system that are in the hot-standby state, then locking the RadioBlade transceiver (due to alarms, removal of a RadioBlade transceiver or administratively locking RadioBlade transceivers) will result in the hot Standby Blade transceiver being assigned to the BR that de-registered the locked RadioBlade transceiver.5.6.3 Locking Policy for RadioBlade Transceiver with ErrorsIf the RadioBlade transceiver generates enough faults such that it crosses the Bounce and Duration threshold for that particular error, an alarm will be generated. The RadioBlade controller then notifies the associated BR, which then locks the RadioBlade transceiver. This will result in disabling the BR.If there is a faulty RadioBlade transceiver in the system (generating error alarms), it is prevented from coming up after a commanded reset/system reset, but the operator could manually unlock the RadioBlade transceiver, at which point the RadioBlade transceiver would be assigned to a BR. (This would not prevent the system from locking it again if an excessive error condition recurs).

Removal of RadioBlade TransceiverWhen a RadioBlade transceiver is physically removed, an event is generated in the System Manager Event Log notifying the user about the RadioBlade transceiver removal. The RadioBlade controller will then de-register the RadioBlade transceiver from the BR(s), which will result in locking the BR(s). A RadioBlade transceiver Insert event is generated when the RadioBlade transceiver is inserted into the system.B. Administrative Locking of a RadioBlade TransceiverBy definition, administrative locking of a RadioBlade transceiver is in effect if the RadioBlade transceiver lock icon on the RadioBlade Transceiver Status page is changed to “locked”. The Multi-Channel RadioBlade transceiver is treated as a unit (single RBID) with respect to administrative locking. The following rules apply to locking a RadioBlade transceiver. • The BR(s) associated with the administratively locked RadioBlade transceiver will go into a Disabled state. Only that RadioBlade transceiver will lock, and its icon will change to “locked”.• If an administratively locked RadioBlade transceiver is replaced, the new RadioBlade transceiver will be considered unlocked upon insertion. (Administrative locking applies to a particular RadioBlade transceiver and not to a particular DRBS Slot).• Upon unlocking an administratively locked RadioBlade transceiver, the BR that was previously disabled due to the locked state will go into the enabled state.The lock policy will be preserved through a system reset. Locking of the RadioBlade transceiver will also be preserved through a system reset. Locking of RadioBlade transceivers in the disabled state will not be preserved through a system reset. However, after a system reset, those blades that were originally in the disabled state due to the effects of a) the locked RadioBlade transceiver and b) the locking policy will likely return to the disabled state.The RadioBlade Control page of System Manager has a “Lock All / Unlock All” feature. Refer to Figure 5.2. With an MCRB, locking the top padlock as shown on the RadioBlade Control page will lock all carriers for that MCRB while selecting the padlock on the individual carrier will lock only that carrier.

MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide998-5005-01 Rev X1MC-Series ©2007 RadioFrame Networks, Inc. A-1CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARYAppendix A General Safety InformationA.1 Static Sensitive PrecautionsElectrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.• Prior to handling, shipping, and servicing equipment, always put on a conductive wrist strap connected to a grounding device to discharge any accumulated static charges. All RadioFrame Networks FRUs ship with a disposable anti-static wrist strap. • Place FRUs only on an anti-static mat when removed from the system. The conductive surface must be connected to ground through 100 k.• Do not use non-conductive material for packaging FRUs for shipment or storage. Wrap all FRUs with anti-static (conductive) material. Replacement FRUs shipped from the factory are packaged in a conductive material.• If possible, retain all original packing material for future use.Warning!Use extreme caution when wearing a conductive wrist strap near sources of high voltage. The low impedance provided by the wrist strap also increases the danger of lethal shock should accidental contact with high voltage sources occur.

MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide998-5005-01 Rev X1MC-Series ©2007 RadioFrame Networks, Inc. F-1CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARYAppendix F BER Test ProcedureF.1 Bit Error Rate (BER) Diagnostic TestThe Bit Error Rate (BER) Diagnostic Test is used to execute BER tests of the MC-Series OPM System. The Diagnostic Test supports multi-channel RadioBlade (MCRB) transceivers in the 800E MHz band. BER testing gives a pass/fail determination for each blade and should be performed on all blades in the Diversity RadioBlade shelf (DRBS).The most common testing scenario involves acceptance-test plan (ATP) execution during incoming inspection and commissioning. The MC-Series OPM System can be taken out of service for testing during a maintenance window. The RadioBlade transceivers can be locked as a group and then unlocked one-by-one for the BER tests. F.2 Prerequisites for TestingThese procedures presume that the MC-Series OPM System is in place at its site of service and operational. Therefore, the prerequisites for operation will already have been satisfied: • The T1 is live and has been tested. • The datafill has been completed, including BR Cabinet and position assignments, and conforms to the recommended datafill. • All site cabling and installation work has been completed and all punchlist items corrected.• The system is powered and operational.• The software is at least Revision 14.x.xxx.In addition, the following conditions are required for BER testing:• The BER test requires that the RadioBlade Shelf be connected to an ISC.
MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X1F-2 ©2007 RadioFrame Networks, Inc. MC-SeriesCONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY• The RadioBlade transceiver under test must be in the active state and unlocked (UEA). F.3 Test Tool• Signal generator (sig gen)A Motorola R2660 Communications Analyzer can be used as the source of the test signal for the MC-Series OPM System during the BER test. F.4 Testing StrategyIn the MC-Series OPM System as in the Motorola Enhanced Base Transceiver Station (EBTS), BRs are identified by Cabinet and position, with frequencies assigned in the datafill. BRs in the MC-Series are logical instances that map to physical RadioBlade transceivers. The MCRB transceivers can be mixed in a system (on a single DRBS) and the MCRB can operate in a Quad BR configuration. Like the EBTS, the MC-Series OPM System can be organized as a single sector (Omni), or as two or two sector site.The basic BER testing strategy is to record the Base Radio (BR) and corresponding RadioBlade configuration of the MC-Series OPM System, and then test each blade across the power spectrum in its assigned range(s) of frequency. F.4.1 BER Test on an MCRBBecause the MCRB supports up to six carriers, the BR to RadioBlade transceiver ratio can range from one-to-one up to six-to-one. BER testing confirms the functionality of the blade hardware itself at selected frequencies and sensitivity levels, allowing you to check functionality specifically in the assigned ranges. The MCRB can be viewed as a broadband RadioBlade transceiver in which up to six iDEN carriers are set up in a 1.25 MHz band centered at an optimal frequency. When testing an MCRB transceiver, the BER test start page allows an optional center carrier to be entered. By default, if only a carrier (no center carrier) is specified for the BER test, the test will be done at that specified carrier, with the band centered on the specified carrier. Entering both a carrier and a center carrier allows BER testing to be done at non-center carriers.The procedures in this guide cover BER testing of the full complement of RadioBlade transceivers. The BER testing methodology proceeds from sector to sector, testing each Cabinet shelf and position in succession. Figure F-1 summarizes the process.

If the test is to be performed on a production system, the system must be taken out of service during a maintenance window.For your notes during the BER tests, there is a test notes master form, Table F.1, from which you can make copies. This form is useful both to organize your testing strategy and preserve the record of test results.

To lock a RadioBlade transceiver, select its open lock icon, and, when prompted, select Accept. Or you can use the lock all hot link to administratively lock all blades with one command.F.7.1 RadioBlade Transceiver BER TestThis section covers the method to use to measure receiver BER and determine whether each RadioBlade transceiver passes. Testing is organized by sector to minimize the need to move the Sig Gen leads. Because you are testing an MC-Series OPM System that is not in service, you can simply leave the leads connected to the sector Rx port at TOR for the duration of the tests on that sector. The testing method follows a nested loop (summarized in F.4 (Testing Strategy)) until all blades either pass or fail. Once testing on a given RadioBlade transceiver has been completed (step 7) you repeat the test steps for the next transceiver. Once a given sector is completely tested, you move the leads to the next sector input port and repeat the test for each blade in the next sector.1. Set the Motorola R2660 to generate an in-bound 1 x 6 test signal at the desired frequency and signal level into the Rx port that corresponds to the RadioBlade transceiver to be tested. 2. Determine the receive sensitivity threshold. Start at –120 dBm, and then increase in 2 dB increments until the BER drops below 2%. The receive sensitivity value should be less than –106 dBm at 2% BER. 3. Determine the max. level threshold. Start at –48 dBm and increase in 2 dB increments until the BER goes above 2%. The maximum input power should be greater than –40 dBm at 2% BER. 4. If either of the values called for in steps 2 and 3 is not attained, the RadioBlade transceiver has failed specifications and should be replaced.5. Display the RadioBlade Control page (Figure F-3), and make sure the RadioBlade transceiver that is to be tested is not locked. If it is locked, unlock it.6. If you are unlocking the blade, refresh the page every 30 seconds until the State of the RadioBlade transceiver has changed to ‘UEA’, approximately 3 minutes.7. Select the Diagnostics tab (Figure F-4), and then select Bit Error Rate Test.
