Select the first file to download and click on the OK button. 5. Click on the HOST Load button (see Figure 4-3) to start the download. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each file that requires downloading. 7. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the REMOTE. 2.3 Determine Forward Path Input Signal LevelThe level of the composite RF input signal at the FORWARD RF IN port at the HU will varydepending on the type of EBTS, the cable loss, the number of channels present, and the requiredforward path composite power. If maximum composite RF output is required, the signal level ofthe composite forward path RF signal at the HU forward path input must be adjusted to fallwithin a range of –20 to –40 dBm. If the signal level is not within this range, it must be adjustedto fall within this range through the use of an external attenuator capable of handling the EBTSforward path output power. If using the SMR Primary Interface Panel or Expansion Panel, refer to the Digivance LRCSInterface Panels User Manual (ADCP-75-143) for the procedures for measuring and adjustingthe input RF signal level at the HU. If connecting a single HU to a single EBTS, use thefollowing procedure to measure and adjust the input RF signal level at the HU: 1. Connect a spectrum analyzer or power meter to the forward path output port of the EBTS.The required signal levels and test points are shown in Figure 4-5. 2. If using a spectrum analyzer, proceed to step 3. If using a power meter, measure thecomposite signal power from the EBTS and then proceed to step 5.3. Measure the RF level of a single carrier, such as the control channel, in dBm. Make surethe resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer is 30 kHz. Maximum power in anychannel should not exceed 5W (+37 dB). Note: Check the input rating of the test equipment and the output rating of the EBTS. Toavoid burning out the spectrum analyzer or power meter, it may be necessary to insert a30 dB 100W (or similar) attenuator between the EBTS and test equipment.
ADCP-75-159 • Issue 1 • August 2003 • Section 4: OperationPage 4-8© 2003, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.4. Calculate the total composite signal power from the EBTS using the following formula: Ptot = Pc + 10Log N Where,Ptot is the total composite power in dBmPc is the power per carrier in dBm as measured in step 3, andN is the total number of channels. 5. Determine the total cable loss that is imposed by the forward path coaxial cable that linksthe EBTS to the HU and also any insertion loss imposed by splitters or combiners. 6. Subtract the total cable loss and any insertion losses from the total composite powercalculated in step 4. 7. Subtract –30 (midpoint of the required range) from the value determined in step 6. Thedifference (which should be positive) equals the value of the external attenuator that isrequired to reduce the forward path signal level to fall within the required range. Thefollowing formula outlines the required calculations for steps 6 and 7: Ptot – (Cable and insertion loss) – (–30) = Value of external attenuator required8. Select an attenuator that is as close to the value calculated in step 7 as possible. Select avalue that will adjust the signal level of the composite input signal to fall within thespecified range. 9. Install the external attenuator in the coaxial cable that is connected to the FORWARD RFIN port at the HU. 10. Subtract the value of the external attenuator used in step 9 from the total composite signalpower (Ptot) and record the result. This value will be required when setting the attenuationof the HU’s internal forward attenuator. Note: If the input signal level is already within the required range of –20 to –40 dBm, thenno external attenuator is required. Caution: The Host Unit can be damaged if it is overdriven by the EBTS. Always install anexternal protective attenuator at the Host Unit FORWARD RF IN port if the forward pathcomposite input signal level is greater than –20 dBm.

Open the Tools menu at the top of the main window and then select Refresh Catalog tomake the new Host and Remote site names appear in the View menu. 2.5 Enter Host Forward AttenuationThe HU internal forward path attenuator setting determines the maximum composite outputsignal level at the STM antenna port. The appropriate attenuation value for any particularsystem is based on the number of channels the system is transporting and the level of thecomposite forward path signal input at the HU’s FORWARD RF IN port. The maximum outputpower that can be provided by the system is 40.5 dBm (11 Watts). The total forward path gainthat is provided by the system (with host and remote forward attenuators set to 0 dB) is 80.5dBm. Use the following procedure to set the forward path attenuation to provide the maximumcomposite output signal level: 1. Click on the HOST RF tab. The HOST RF display will open within the EMS mainwindow as shown in Figure 4-8. 2. Right-click on the Host Fwd Att section of the display (see Figure 4-8). The Host FwdAtt pop-up screen will open as shown in Figure 4-9. 3. Obtain the value of the total composite input signal level as determined in step 10 ofSection 2.3. 4. Determine the appropriate value to enter for the Host forward path attenuator bysubtracting the required system output level (per system design plan) from 80.5 (the totalsystem gain) and then adding the composite input signal level. The result (see samplecalculation) is the amount of attenuation required. Atten Required = 80.5 – (Required System Output Power) + (Composite Input Power)5. Enter the attenuation value and click OK to close the pop-up screen and to make thechanges take effect.
