Installing the IDU in a Rack

Warning! The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building or exposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the eqiupment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 port as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

The FibeAir 1500R IDU is installed in a standard ETSI 19" rack as shown in the following illustration.

As shown in the illustration, four screws, supplied with the installation kit, are used to secure the IDU to the rack.


IDU Dimensions

The following illustration shows the dimensions (in millimeters) of the FibeAir 1500R IDU.


Grounding the IDU

The following illustration shows how the IDU is grounded to the rack.

A grounding wire is connected below the IDU-RFU/ODU interface using a single screw with two washers.

Single Point Stud


IDU Grounding Notes

• The IDU is suitable for installation in a Common Bonding Network (CBN).

• Only copper wire should be used.

• The wire must be at least 6 AWG.

• Connector and connection surfaces must be plated. Bare conductors must be be coated with antioxidant before crimp connections are made to the screws.

• FibeAir provides a ground for each drawer, via a one-hole mounted lug onto a single-point stud. The stud must be installed using a UL-listed ring tongue terminal, and two star washers for anti-rotation.

• For antenna ports, lightning protection is used that does not permit transients of a greater magnitude than the following:

Open Circuit: 1.2-50us 600V

Short Circuit: 8-20us 300A

• The ampacity of the conductor connecting the IDU frame to the DC return conductor is equal to, or greater than, the ampacity of the associated DC return conductor.

Power Supply Notes

When selecting a power source, the following must be considered:

• DC power can be from -40.5 VDC to -57 VDC.

• Recommended: Availability of a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Source), battery backup, and emergency power generator.

• Whether or not the power source provides constant power (i.e., power is secured on weekends or is shut off frequently and consistently).

• The power supply must have grounding points on the AC and DC sides.

Caution! The user power supply GND must be connected to the positive pole in the IDU power supply. Any other connection may cause damage to the system!

Power supply grounding should be in accordance with the following illustration:


Connecting the IDU

This section describes how the IDU interfaces are connected. The interfaces include line, system (IDU-RFU/ODU), and management ports.

For interface specifications, see Appendix A - Line Interfaces and Cables.

For connector pin-outs, see Appendix B - Connector Pin-Outs.

Interface Descriptions

The following photo shows the different IDU ports and their functions.

As shown in the photo above, the IDC (Indoor Controller), in the left section of the FibeAir 1500R front panel, includes two Ethernet ports for management, Wayside channel connectors, user channel connectors, an EOW (Engineering Order Wire) connector, terminal connector, an external alarms port, and a protection cable connector.

In addition, the front panel includes two drawers with internal modems, line interface connectors (STM-1/ OC-3/DS3), an N-Type IDU-ODU connector, and a DC power input connector.

Each modem drawer includes its own independent power supply unit and can be removed/replaced without causing other radio operation interference.

The Indoor Controller (IDC) provides advanced options, such as the Wayside channel, Engineering Order Wire, external alarm interfaces, external protection interface, auxiliary user channels, and Ethernet management interfaces and terminal. The controller is an extractable, hot swappable, and non-traffic-affecting drawer, with two different models to choose from.

Both models include management, Wayside channels, and protection interfaces. Only the type of auxiliary channel may vary in accordance with the specific system configuration.

- Wayside channel - either E1/T1 or 2 Mbps Ethernet (one per carrier)

- External alarms connection.

- Two software-selectable user channels with the following options:

2 x RS-232 Asynchronous 9.6 Kbps, or 1 x RS-232 Asynchronous and 1 x V.11 Asynchronous (both 9.6 Kbps) or 1 x V.11 Synchronous co/contra-directional (64 Kbps). In asynchronous mode, each user channel can be associated with a different carrier. In synchronous mode, the single user channel can only be associated with the right side IDM carrier.

- Engineering Order Wire interface (G.711 CVSD) for point-to-point or concatenated voice connectivity.

IDU-RFU/ODU Coax Cable

The Coax Cable that connects between the IUD and the RFU/ODU should be terminated with N-type male connectors.

Important! Make sure that the inner pin of the connector does not exceed the edge of the connector.

The cable should have a maximum attenuation of 30 dB at 350 MHz.

RFU Cable Monitoring

During installation of the cable, it is important to use the RFU Cable Monitoring utility.

In order to diagnose IDU-RFU cable problems, the following parameters are provided via the terminal and CeraView:

Cable Attenuation Measurement - The cable attenuation is a measurement of the degradation in the power of the signal transmitted from the IDU to the RFU. A change in this value may indicate a problem in the cable, and it is diagnosed by comparing the attenuation value at a given time with the value that was measured after installation or RFU replacement.

Cable attenuation should be measured and saved after installation, RFU replacement, or MRMC modification, as a reference for later measurements.

Cable attenuation measurement and the time at which it was taken, can be saved and read via CeraView or the terminal interface. Since the attenuation depends on the IDU and connected RFU, if either of those was replaced, the comparison will not be valid. Therefore, the serial number of the RFU is saved as well.


When performing a measurement and comparing it with the saved value, the RFU serial number should be examined as well. If the current serial number does not equal the one that was saved, this means that the RFU or IDU was replaced. In such a case, comparing the attenuation values will not yield valid results.

IDU-RFU Communication Errors - The IDU and RFU will monitor the amount of errors measured in the communication interface between them. The amount of errors may point to a problem in the IDU-RFU cable.

Both counters should be cleared after each RFU connection or reset.

RFU Cable Monitoring Window in CeraView

Notes:

When the RFU is disconnected, the serial number reading will remain the same until a new RFU is connected.

A difference between attenuation measurements will occur only if the degradation exists at the time in which the value is read. Therefore, it is suggested to perform a few readings, in case the problem is intermittent.


Chapter 2: Initial System Setup

General After the system is installed and tested, and antenna alignment is performed, the next step is initial IDU setup and configuration.

Initial setup procedures are performed on a craft terminal via a serial port connection.

Note:

Configuration procedures are generally performed using the CeraView® software supplied with FibeAir.

A description of CeraView and how to use it is provided in the CeraView User Guide.

The craft terminal should be used only to perform the initial setup procedures desribed in this chapter. Once the system is up and running, use CeraView to maintain and operate the system on a regular basis.

Initial Setup Steps

The initial FibeAir setup procedure includes the following steps:

Procedures Performed using a Craft Terminal:

- Connecting to the IDU via the terminal port

- Defining IP addresses

- Setup Options

Procedures Performed using CeraView:

- Connecting to the Ethernet port

- Installing the software

- Setting the local Tx frequency channel

- Specifying system information

- Configuring the local/remote transport

- Configuring trap forwarding

- Setting up external alarms

Connecting the Line Interfaces


Initial Setup using the Craft Terminal The following procedures are performed after the RFU and antenna are installed.

Connecting to the IDU via Serial Port

On the front panel of the IDU, the DRWR LED should be lit green.

To set up the HyperTerminal connection:

1. Connect the RS-232 port of your computer to the RS-232 (9-pin) port on the IDU front panel. This port is labeled “Terminal”.

2. Select Start, Programs, Accessories, Communication, HyperTerminal.

3. Double-click the HyperTerminal application icon.

4. For Connection Description, type Terminal, and click OK.

5. In the Connect Using field (Phone Number), select Direct to Com 1, and click OK.

6. In the Port Settings tab (Com 1 Properties), specify the following settings:

Bits per second - 19,200 Data bits - 8 Parity - None Stop bits - 1 Flow control - None

7. Click OK.

8. After you connect to the terminal, to enter the terminal setup program, press Enter.

9. For password, use ceragon.


Defining IP Addresses

Before you can configure the FibeAir system, you need to define IP addresses using the craft terminal.

FibeAir includes two IP interfaces: an Ethernet interface, and a serial interface. Each interface has its own IP address and IP mask.

The IP address is a four digit number separated by decimal points. Each IP address is a pair netid,hostid, where netid identifies a network, and hostid identifies a host on the network. The IP mask separates between the netid and hostid.

For example, if the IP address is 192.114.35.12 (11000000 01110010 00100011 00001100), and the IP mask is 255.255.255.0 (11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000), the netid is 192.114.35, and the hostid is 12.

An IP interface can only communicate with hosts that are on the same net (have the same netid). In the example above, the interface can communicate only with hosts that have netid 192.114.35 (for 1 to 255).

If FibeAir has a frame to send to a host that is not on the Ethernet IP netid or the serial IP netid, the frame sould be sent to an intelligent device (usually a gateway) on the network. Such a device, known as a "default router", will know how to send the frame over the internet. The default gateway should be a host on one of the FibeAir interface netids.

The following illustration shows how FibeAir is integrated in the local network.


To define IP Addresses:

1. In the main terminal program menu, select Configuration.

2. Select IDC.

3. Select Basic.

4. Select IP and define the addresses as described above.

Setup Options in the Terminal Program

The main menu in the terminal setup program includes the following options:

Configuration (1) - the main setup section in which you can configure the IDC, the right and left drawers, protection, SNMP management, in-band routing, and other such parameters.

System Status (2) - used to obtain information about the different software versions currently used in the system.

Maintenance (3) - used to perform software upload, download, and reset.

Diagnostics (4) - used to perform loopbacks and obtain system information.

Logs (5) - used to view alarm and configuration log reports.


Additional Setup Using CeraView Some of the initial setup procedures require the use of CeraView.

Once initial setup is complete, use CeraView to run the system on a daily basis.

Connecting to the Ethernet Port

1. Connect a crossed Ethernet cable from your PC to the Ethernet Port. If the connection is to a LAN (wall connection) use the standard Ethernet cable.

2. Make sure the IP address on your PC is on the same sub-net as you defined in the FibeAir indoor unit (in most cases, the first three numbers of the IP address must be identical, depending on the sub-net mask).

Site Acceptance Checklist Notes

The following notes provide important additional information about the Site Acceptance Checklist.

1. Antenna Mounting

Mounting pole is of sufficient height to clear local obstructions, such as parapets, window cleaning gantries, and lift housings.

Mounting Pole is of sufficient height, and is safely positioned, so as not to cause a safety hazard. No person should be able to walk in front of, or look directly into the path of the microwave radio beam. Where possible, the pole should be away from the edge of the building.

Mounting pole is secure and perpendicular. A pole that is not perpendicular may cause problems during antenna alignment.

Mounting pole is grounded as per site specifications. All operators and site owners have specific requirements regarding the grounding of installations. As a minimum, typical requirements are such that any metal structure must be connected to the existing lightning protection ground of the building. Where it extends beyond the 45 degree cone of protection of existing lightning conductors, additional lightning protectors should be installed.

All steelwork is Galvanized or Stainless Steel, as appropriate to prevent corrosion.


2. Antenna

Antenna is grounded as per site specifications. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting section above.

Antenna sway braces are fitted and installed correctly, where applicable. Typically, for an antenna of 1.2 m or larger, an extra sway brace is fitted to the mounting frame of the antenna. This sway brace should not be mounted to the same pole as the antenna, but should be installed directly back to the tower or an alternative point.

Antenna Water Drain Plugs are fitted and removed, where appropriate. Some antennas have moisture drain plugs installed at various points around the antenna. The purpose of these plugs is to allow any moisture that forms on the inside of the antenna or radome to drip out and prevent a pool within the antenna. Only the plugs at the bottom of the antenna, after installation, should be removed. All other plugs should be left in position.

3. ODU (Outdoor Unit)

The ODU is grounded as per installation instructions. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting section above.

The ODU polarization is as per link requirements and matches the polarization of the antenna.

4. Indoor Unit

The main traffic connections are correctly terminated and crimped as per cable and connector manufacturer instructions. All fiber optic patch leads should be routed carefully and efficiently, using conduits to prevent damage to the cables.

All other user terminations are secure and correctly terminated.

All labeling is complete as per site requirements. Labeling is specific to each customer. At a site with only one installation, labeling may be unnecessary. However, at sites with multiple installations, correct and adequate labeling is essential for future maintenance operations.

Typical labeling requirements include:

Antenna labels - for link identity and bearing ODU labels - for link identity, frequency, and polarization Coax cable labels - for link identity, close to the ODU, IDU, and either end of any joint IDU labels - for link identity


1+0 Commissioning Procedure

2+0 XPIC Commissioning Procedure

Scope

This section describes the recommended commissioning tests for a FibeAir radio link in a 2+0 XPIC Co-Channel-Dual-Polarization configuration.


Important! Since operation of the XPIC system depends on correct installation, make sure the guidelines for XPIC system installation provided below are followed correctly.

Note: FibeAir RFU-C does not require an XPIC cable in the 2+0 CCDP mode of operation.

XPIC Installation Guidelines

Antenna and ODU Installation

1. Install the dual polarization antenna and point it in the direction of the other site.

2. Install the two ODUs on a dual polarization antenna using the appropriate mounting kit, and mark the ODUs with V and H respectively.

IDU-ODU Cable Installation

Note: FibeAir RFU-C does not require an XPIC cable in the 2+0 CCDP mode of operation.

1. Install two cables between the ODUs and the drawers (IDMs). Note that cable length difference should not exceed 10 meters.

2. Mark the cables with V and H respectively, and make sure V is connected to the right drawer and H is connected to the left drawer.

3. Mark the drawers respectively.

Antenna Alignment

1. Power up drawer V on both ends of the link and configure it to the desired frequency channel and maximum power.

2. Align the antennas, one at a time, until expected RSL is achieved. Make sure the achieved RSL is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.

Polarization Alignment

Polarization alignment is required to verify that the antenna feeds are adjusted, to ensure that the antenna XPD (Cross Polarization Discrimination) is achieved.

Polarization adjustment should be done on one antenna only.


1. Power up drawer V on both ends of the link and record the RSL reading on one end.

2. Power off drawer V on that end and power on drawer H.

3. Check the RSL obtained on this ODU on H pol, and compare it to the RSL obtained by the ODU installed on the V pol.

4. Verify that XPI (Cross Polarization Interference) is at least 25 dB

where:

sites.both at used onspolarizati orthogonal with RSLLink RSLsites.both at usedon polarizati same with theRSLLink RSL

XPOL

POL

→→

−= XPOLPOL RSLRSLXPI

5. If XPI is less than 25 dB, adjust the feed polarization by opening the polarization screw and gently rotating the feed to minimize the RSLXPOL.

Note that polarization alignment is not always possible since the RSLXPOL may fall below the sensitivity threshold of the ODU.

It is also recommended to try to maximize the XPI as much as possible, by aligning the polarization.

XPIC Commissioning Tests

Individual Link Verification

Before operating in XPIC configuration, each of the links (V and H) should be commissioned individually in order to verify its proper operation.

1 Power up only drawer V at both ends and verify its frequency channel and Tx power configuration.

2 Verify that the RSL is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.

3 Run BER stability test on the link for at least 15 minutes to ensure error-free operation.

4 Power up only drawer H at both ends and verify its frequency channel and Tx power configuration.

5 Verify that the RSL is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.

6 Run BER stability test on the link for at least 15 minutes to ensure error-free operation.

XPIC Configuration Verification

1 Configure the drawers to work in XPIC mode.

2 Verify that the RSL at all four ODUs is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.

3 Verify that no alarms exist (if a 155 Mbps line is connected).

4 Run BER stability test on each of the 155 Mbps links for at least 1 hour to ensure error-free operation.

Note: In a 2+2 configuration, repeat each step above for each of the four coupled ODU combinations.


XPIC Recovery Verification

In order to verify XPIC operation, simulate the faults described below.

1 Disconnect the IDU-ODU cable for each of the drawers (one at a time), and verify that the other link is operating.

2 Power down each of the drawers and verify that the other link is operating.

3 Swap the V and H cables and check that the relevant alarm is generated.

4 Mute and then un-mute one ODU at a time and verify that the other link is operating.

Note: In a 2+2 configuration, repeat each step above for each of the four coupled ODUs connected to the two standby IDUs.

2+2 Verification

Perform the tests specified in Switching Tests in the 1+1 Commissioning Procedure section earlier in this guide.

In this case, the switch will be from a main IDU connected to the main V and main H ODUs, to the secondary IDU connected to the coupled V and coupled H ODUs.

Four coax cables (COAX.1.0/2.3 TO BNC STR. PLUG CABLE, 25 cm, 75 Ohm, WA-0175-0), and two electrical splitters (ELECTRICAL SPLITTER POWER 75 OHM 2:1 5-600 MHz, AO-0002-0) are included in the kit.

Kits for Unprotected Configurations

For unprotected configurations with STM-1 electrical interfaces, we use a 1.0/2.3-to-BNC adapter (1.0/2.3-to-BNC) (COAX.1.0/2.3 TO BNC STR. PLUG CABLE, 25 cm, 75 Ohm, WA-0175-0).

The number of 1.0/2.3-to-BNC adapters depends on the type of configuration and interface. For example, for a 1+0 configuration with STM-1/OC-3 electrical interfaces, one adapter is required for the site (two for a link).
