The SeRF board on each Host and Remote contains the master clock for that unit. At the Remote, the reference is a clock derived from the Host clock. The 10 MHz Reference Clock external setting allows you to frequency lock the master clock to an external 10 MHz reference.You may need to click in the Function Explorer Tree frame and then click Refresh before the new name appears.When using the 10 MHz external reference clock, the signal must be connected to the Host before enabling the clock in the software. If an external 10MHz reference clock is selected for operation, but is not present or outside of the frequency range of 10MHz + /- 5ppm, communication between the Host and Remote over the optical fiber will fail.

This is in effect a Master/Slave setting in that the Host in a multi-Host system with the highestClock Priority Level (CPL) will provide the Master Clock on the fibers. All other Hosts and Remotes will recover clocks from higher levels. The highest level is1, the lowest level is 14.0 and 15 are “no level” settings that results in a zero pattern being played on the fiber, which effectively shuts it down. The default is 14.In a Multi-Host system, each Host must have a unique CPL. If one or more Host is set to the same CPL, an alarm will be generated.188 Click Apply.For information on the SeRF alarm indicators, see “Viewing the Host SeRF Summary” on page 222.

The Optics Namemust be between 5 and 32 characters with no spaces. The only special character allowed is an underscore, but it cannot be the first character of the name. Numerals are allowed, but cannot be the first character of the name.211 Select Ip Enable to configure the Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) for exchange of management traffic. By default Ip Enable is not selected. If Ip Enable is left unselected, the SFP cannot exchange management traffic. How you set Ip Enable is dependent on the system configuration:•• In a multifiber scenario, do not enable IP on both SFPs from the same Host to the same Remote. Typically, the first SFP on the Host that goes to that Remote is used as the IP enabled port for management communications.•• In a Multi-Host system, multiple fibers connected to a Remote come from different Hosts. However, a Remote can accept an IP connection from only one Host and only one Host can “own” the Remote for the purposes of provisioning and monitoring. When a second Host attempts to establish an IP connection, this second connection fails and an IP Conflict alarm is triggered.

Each DART is configured in hardware to operate within a specific RF band such as PCS or Cellular; the passband is a software-defined sub-band of the hardware-defined band. Forward and reverse path gain, diversity status, and operating mode may also be set when a Host DART is configured. The same settings are applied to the Remote DART when linked to the Host DART. The Host has eight slots for DART cards.233 In the Function Explorer Tree, select System View,Host-x,SERF,DARTS (where -x is the Host name) to open the DART’s Alarm Summary view in the EMS View Frame.

The Host DART expects signal levels from -25 to +5 dBm. If the fully loaded signal is +5 dBm, then the DART forward gain should be set to 0 dB, if the fully loaded signal is -25 dBm, then the DART Forward Gain should be set to 30 dB. The equation is: DART Forward Gain = 5 - fullyLoadedBasestationSignal.ff Set the DART Reverse Gain value to achieve the required gain from the input to the Remote to the output of the Host DART. The range is:•5 to 36 dB for Cellular, SMR800, SMR900, Narrowband PCS & Narrowband AWS DARTs•0 to 31 dB for Fullband GSM1800, UMTS, Fullband AWS, and EGSM900The diversity status of the Host DART will extend to the Remote DART connected to it. For further information, see “Link the Host and Remote DARTs.” on page 159.If you are setting up the system when no calls are going through, you must allow headroom for a fully loaded forward path. For CDMA protocols, the difference from unloaded to fully loaded is typically 8dB, so if the unloaded signal is - 15dBm, then the fully loaded input would be - 7 dBm and the Host Forward Gain should be set to 5- (- 7) = 12 dB. The same rules applies for GSM carriers, except that the unloaded to loaded is determined by the equation 10*log10(# RF Channels). So if there are 4 GSM RF Channels, then the loaded forward path is 6 dB above unloaded.If sufficient headroom is not present, then the LPA can be over- powered causing a Loss Of Service.When configured correctly, the Host DART Forward input can handle peaks of 14dB above the BTS signal level. For example, if the fully loaded CDMA carrier is - 25dBm, then peaks up to - 11 dBm can be handled (CDMA peak to average is typically 10- 12 dB). If the peaks exceed the 14 dB of headroom, then Automatic Level Control (ALC) will occur to prevent over- driving the A/D Converter.
Configure the Host DARTsFlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference Page 155ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/2009 © 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc.When setting the DART Reverse Gain value, the following rules must be observed:nTheDART Reverse Gain setting can be used to overcome losses from the Host DART to the BTS. If you want unity reverse path gain and the losses to the BTS are 20 dB, then the Reverse Gain should be set to 20 dB.nIf you want to match the URH noise floor to the BTS noise floor, then the noise floors for both the URH and the BTS must be known. Use the DARTReverse Gain to match these to optimize the reverse path. For example, if the BTS has a noise floor of -114 dBm/30 kHz and the URH has a single Remote noise floor of -124 dBm/30kHz, and there is 2 dB of loss from the Host DART to the BTS, then the Reverse path gain should be set to 12 dB.nSimulcast changes the actual REV gain level by 20log(n) where n = the number of simulcast links. For example, if REV gain is set to 10dB in a 2:1 simulcast configuration, the actual REV gain is only 4dB (10dB - 6dB). If REV gain is set to 20dB in a 4:1 simulcast, the actual gain is 8dB (20dB - 12dB).The Noise Floor of the URH goes up of 10*log10(n), where n = simulcast #. For example, the single node Remote noise floor is -124 dBm/30kHz (Before any Reverse path gain), then the noise floor for two remotes is -121 dBm, for 4 remotes it is -118 dBm/30kHz and for 8 remotes it is -115 dBm.nDual PCS uplink splitting causes a 3 dB degradation in the noise figure.266 Click Applyand then Close.

There are four pre-requisites to this procedure:•• The Host DART and Remote DART must be connected through the optical fiber and be communicating with each other.•• The Host DART card must be configured as described in “Configure the Host DARTs” on page 152.•• The Host and Remote DARTs must be of the same type (such as, Cellular or PCS).•• There must be a sufficient number of fiber timeslots available in order to accommodate the requested passband (for example, PCS A band requires 3 timeslots).In the Remote DART configuration page, all Host DARTs are listed that have the same band as the Remote DART. A link is established by selecting a Host DART to be paired with the Remote DART.6.9.1 Use of Multi FibersThe EMS provides the ability to install “multi fibers” between a Host and Remote. This means that, in addition to the minimum two fibers (RX and TX) in the Host to Remote connection, one or more additional fiber pairs are installed. This is done to increase the bandwidth between the Host and Remote. Each fiber pair can handle approximately 75 Mbps of RF bandwidth. Each fiber is capable of supporting 12 TDM timeslots:•• Classic DARTs or Single SuperDARTs support up to 35 MHz of RF– Cellular–SMR800–SMR900– PCS Narrowband–AWS Narrowband–EGSM900•• Dual SuperDARTs support up to 75 MHz of RF– GSM1800–UMTS–AWS FullbandIf you are setting up a multi- host system, go to “(Optional) Configuring Multi-Host Systems for Manual Mode” on page 168.
Initial Prism System SetupPage 160 FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.1 System Reference© 2009 ADC Telecommunications, Inc ADCP-77-073 • Issue 2 • 11/2009When a Host DART is linked to a Remote DART in a multi-fibers configuration, the EMS uses the first fiber (in numerical order) on which the required number of timeslots is available for the passband being linked. The EMS will not divide up the timeslots between two fibers. So, for example, if the passband requires eight timeslots, and only six timeslots are available on the first fiber, the EMS will bypass the first fiber and assign all eight timeslots to the second fiber, leaving four timeslots unused on the second fiber.6.9.2 RF Groups in the Remote and the EMS GUIThe EMS Alarm Summary of RF Groups view displays up to four rectangles labeled RF Module / Band N (whereN equals A,B,C, or D).

If no fiber is available providing the number of TDM timeslots required for the passband, an error message is returned indicating that “DART linking failed due to a problem on the host.”If adding a link to an existing simulcast connection, the system requires the use of the same timeslots. If the timeslots aren't available, the system returns the following error message: “DART linking failed due to a problem on the host.”As soon as you set the LPA Operating Mode to normal, RF transmission will start. Before you set the LPA Operating Mode to normal, make sure that the antenna has been connected and the system is ready to transmit RF.

You therefore need to know how much cable, insertion, and any other loss (such as splitters) exist between the Remote and the antenna. Set the DART Forward Gain to achieve the required output power level to meet the EIRP of your RF link budget.The following table provides calculations you need to set the gains to achieve the desired Output power for a single-DART configuration.For dual-DART configurations, you need to reduce each path by 3dB at the Remote DART Forward Gain.

The minimum delay required is calculated. The acceptable range of delays is 88us. If you attempt to set the delay to a value outside the allowed range, the DART uses either the minimum or maximum, dependant on whether the DART is exceeding the set delay (too high or low). Be aware of simulcast links. Observe the minimum delay required for the longest link, and set the delay to the same value for all simulcast nodes in the same connection based on this value.Here is an example:•• Fiber has 8 usec per mile of fiber.•• Remote 1 has 5 miles of fiber (40 usec of fiber delay).•• Remote 2 has 10 miles of fiber (80 usec of fiber delay).•• Remotes are set to Cellular A"/A Band which has 8 usec of system delay. The delay ranges will therefore be:– Remote 1 delay (48-136)– Remote 2 delay (88-176)The system calculates these delay values—this is a typical example based on the fiber lengths provided. You select a delay value that’s within the range calculated by the system.Set the delays to the same values for all nodes in the network in order to:•• Optimize simulcast•• Make BTS datafill changes simple (same delay offsets for all nodes)•• Simplify E-911 integration (same delay offsets for all nodes)Delays cannot be shortened; they can only be lengthened. The recommended approach is to normalize all Remotes to the longer minimum delay. In this example the delay would therefore have to be 88 usec.411 In the DART Reverse Delay box, set in microseconds the actual delay that will be applied to the RF reverse path signal. The actual delay of the RF path will be within 1 usec. For E-911 TDOA applications, the reverse path delay must be measured to achieve the +/- 50 nsec delay accuracy specified for DAS networks. The FWD and REV delay values are usually the same because the fiber path between the two is typically the same.422 Click Apply.

This selection therefore determines whether the DART card being configured will carry the primary or secondary RF path.For dual DART configurations, such as dual-pcs, smr800/smr900 and dual-aws, both DARTs must have DART Diversity Status set to nonDiversity.gg In the DART Forward Gain list, set this value (0 to 31 dB) based upon the fully loaded forward path signal level from the Base Station. The Host DART expects signal levels from -25 to +5 dBm. If the fully loaded signal is +5 dBm, then the DART forward gain should be set to 0 dB, if the fully loaded signal is -25 dBm, then the DART Forward Gain should be set to 30 dB. The equation is: DART Forward Gain = 5 - fullyLoadedBasestationSignal.hh In the DART Forward Delay box, set in microseconds the actual delay that will be applied to the RF forward path signal. The minimum delay required is calculated. The acceptable range of delays is 88us. If you attempt to set the delay to a value outside the allowed range, the DART uses either the minimum or maximum, dependant on whether the DART is exceeding the set delay (too high or low). Be aware of simulcast links. Observe the minimum delay required for the longest link, and set the delay to the same value for all simulcast nodes in the same connection based on this value.Here is an example:•• Fiber has 8 usec per mile of fiber.•• Remote 1 has 5 miles of fiber (40 usec of fiber delay).•• Remote 2 has 10 miles of fiber (80 usec of fiber delay).The diversity status, fiber, and timeslots of the Host DART must match the Remote DART linked to it.If you are setting up the system when no calls are going through, you must allow headroom for a fully loaded forward path. For CDMA protocols, the difference from unloaded to fully loaded is typically 8dB, so if the unloaded signal is - 15dBm, then the fully loaded input would be - 7 dBm and the Host Forward Gain should be set to 5- (- 7) = 12 dB. The same rules applies for GSM carriers, except that the unloaded to loaded is determined by the equation 10*log10(# RF Channels). So if there are 4 GSM RF Channels, then the loaded forward path is 6 dB above unloaded.If sufficient headroom is not present, then the LPA can be over- powered causing a Loss Of Service.When configured correctly, the Host DART Forward input can handle peaks of 14dB above the BTS signal level. For example, if the fully loaded CDMA carrier is - 25dBm, then peaks up to - 11 dBm can be handled (CDMA peak to average is typically 10- 12 dB). If the peaks exceed the 14 dB of headroom, then Automatic Level Control (ALC) will occur to prevent over- driving the A/D Converter.

The delay ranges will therefore be:– Remote 1 delay (48-136)– Remote 2 delay (88-176)The system calculates these delay values—this is a typical example based on the fiber lengths provided. You select a delay value that’s within the range calculated by the system.Set the delays to the same values for all nodes in the network in order to:•• Optimize simulcast•• Make BTS datafill changes simple (same delay offsets for all nodes)•• Simplify E-911 integration (same delay offsets for all nodes)Delays cannot be shortened; they can only be lengthened. The recommended approach is to normalize all Remotes to the longer minimum delay. In this example the delay would therefore have to be 88 usec.ii In the DART Reverse Delay box, set in microseconds the actual delay that will be applied to the RF reverse path signal. The actual delay of the RF path will be within 1 usec. For E-911 TDOA applications, the reverse path delay must be measured to achieve the +/- 50 nsec delay accuracy specified for DAS networks. The FWD and REV delay values are usually the same because the fiber path between the two is typically the same.133 Click Apply.

In each mode, the Host and its subtended Remotes require the same configuration. Both modes require a DHCP server, which assigns an IP address to the Host and its subtended Remotes.•External Network mode—is the default mode. The Host and subtended Remotes are DHCP clients and expect IP addresses to be assigned by an external DHCP server through a network Ethernet connector. If there is no external DHCP server, the Host will not be able to communicate with any connected Remotes. The Host Craft port has a DHCP server that you can use to communicate with the Host directly. The IP address for the Host Craft port is 192.168.0.1. You can access the EMS via the Craft port, but if the Network port is not connected to an external DHCP server, the Remotes will not be visible to you.•Built-in Network mode—Built-In Network mode is best suited for when there is no network to connect to or if the Prism network does not have a DHCP server. In Built-In Network mode, the functionality of the Network port and the Craft port are swapped. You connect a laptop to the Host Network port, which is assigned a default fixed IP address of 10.0.0.1 and all subtended network interfaces obtain a DHCP address in this same subnet. Alternatively, in Built-In Network mode you can connect the Craft port to an external DHCP server from which the Craft port obtains its IP address.Table 7-1 describes how the system mode affects the IP address for the Host and subtended Remotes.Static Mode—You also have the option of giving the devices on your Prism system static IP addresses. Contact ADC for further information (see “Contacting ADC” on page 335).There are potential problems in switching between the External Network and Built- In Network modes. If cabled incorrectly your DHCP server could provide private IP addresses on a public network. Set the Prism system mode once and then do not change it.

You therefore set the Prism system to Built-In Network mode if there is no network to connect to or if the network does not have a DHCP server. You would also change the Prism system to Built-In Network mode if you intend to transition to static IP addresses.11 To open the Host Summary view in the EMS View Frame, in the Function Explorer Tree select System View, and then click on the Host name node.22 SetNetwork Interface to Built-In Network. This sets the Network port on the Host to the IP address 10.0.0.1 and starts a DHCP server on the Host that will provide IP addresses to connected Remotes. Built-In Network mode also causes the Host Craft port to run a DHCP client instead of using the IP address 192.168.0.1.33 Click Apply.Only a user logged in under the admin or a Network Manager account can change Prism settings through the EMS.When changing from External Network mode to Built- In Network mode, if the Prism system is cabled incorrectly, the Prism DHCP server could broadcast private IP addresses on a public network. You should therefore only change the mode once, preferably during setup.

In this scenario the Host and the Remote can be configured and monitored through the EMS. This is the default access scenario during initial configuration and commissioning as described in “Access the EMS” on page 144.22 A personal computer with a Web browser connected through the internet or intranet to the Network port on the Host. This method provides a remote user access to the EMS through a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). In this scenario the Host and subtended Remotes can be configured and monitored through the EMS. After initial system setup, this is the default access method.33 A personal computer with a Web browser connected to the Network port on the Remote provides a remote user a LAN connection to the Host network interface, which provides access to the EMS. See “Accessing the EMS Through the Remote Network Port” on page 189.It can take a while for the system to update the interfaces (can be up to 30 minutes, but typically is no more than 10 minutes). If the Remotes already have a DHCP IP address from an external network and you change it to built- in (in a different subnet), it can take 30 minutes for the Remote to request an update from an external IP address to the 10.0.0.x IP address. During this transient period, there will not be communication with the Remotes.The Host will also take awhile to change from an external IP address to the 10.0.0.1 Ip address, so a period of no communication with the Host can be expected as well.EMS Access Methods 1 and 2 are true for the default External Network mode described in this chapter. If your Prism system is set to Built- in Network mode, then the definitions for EMS Access Methods 1 and 2 for the Host Network and Craft ports are are switched.

See “Accessing the EMS Through the Remote Craft Port” on page 192.Figure 7-3. Four Points of EMS Access7.4.2.1 Accessing the EMS Through the Remote Network PortThe Remote provides a Network port allowing communications with the internal processor and transfer of service data to the optical protocol allowing IP servicing between the Host and Remote(s). This port is customer accessible for monitoring the interface with the subtended Host and ENET subtended devices at the Remote. The Network port is 10/100/1000 BASE-T MDI and requires a minimum of CAT 5 cable.The network cable must be terminated with a hardened RJ-45 male connector for connection to the Network port. The maximum cable length is 300 feet (91.4 m). Use the following procedure to install the Network cable and then log in to the EMS. Although the Network port on the Remote is a GigE port, the available bandwidth is only 100Mbps (part of this bandwidth is used for system management services).You cannot dedicate a full 100Mbps of bandwidth for external ethernet services off the Remote’s Network port. For example, if connecting a WiFi access point to the Remote’s Network port, you need to reduce the available bandwidth to less than 100Mbps (such as, 50Mbps).Host Unitwith EMSCraft port Network portNetwork portIPIPIPIP2Network(LAN or WAN)134RemoteUnitCraft port75356-04

User Authentication ensures that only known users have access by providing a method of identifying each user through a user ID and password.•User Authorization, which involves managing the user’s privileges in the Prism network management infrastructure. Authorization is based on the concept of user access system configuration restrictions. There are three user-access levels that can be assigned by the admin:•• admin—the default user account that has unrestricted access to all EMS user accounts and management capabilities.
