On the pole mounting (ref. 1), loosen the four “bearing” locking screws (ref. 6) and the coarse “bearing”locking screw (ref. 7) to facilitate the subsequent RBS unit mounting.2. Fit the pole mounting (ref. 1) on the tube or pole (ref. 2) using the U–bolts (ref. 3). Secure it using flatwashers, “grower” washers, nuts and lock–nuts (ref. 4).3. Roughly orientate the bearing of the pole mounting in the desired topographical direction. The bearingturnbuckle (ref. 8) should remain in mid–position. Use the “top” marking of the antenna and a compass,then tighten the U–bolts (ref. 3). U–bolt tightening torque = 3daN.m.4. Roughly orientate the elevation of the antenna support by loosening the “elevation” locking screw (ref.9).

Always refer to the “TOP” marking on the antenna wheninstalling on the pole mounting.–The orientation of the waveguide is not linked to the polarization for this type of antenna. It isalways necessary to conform you to the “POLAR H” or “POLAR V” constructor’s marking on theantenna and not to the orientation of the waveguide.– The antenna must be installed before the RBS radio unit.Storage (Figure 15)1. Position the RBS radio antenna against the pole mounting support (ref. 2), and install it at the oposite sideof the RBS radio unit.2. Secure the RBS radio antenna using seven M6 x 25 screws (ref.3) and onduflex washers.TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE O–JOINT ON THE NOSE OF THE ANTENNA CONNECTION.IF THE RBS RADIO UNITS ARE NOT TO BE MOUNTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEMOUNTING OF THE ANTENNA, PROTECT THE CONNECTION NOSE (FROM WATER,DIRT AND IMPACT).Figure 15 – Installing the RBS unit antenna213ODU sideantenna side3.4.4 – Installation of the RBS Radio Unit (ODU)IMPORTANT: THE RADIO UNIT ASSEMBLY MUST ALWAYS BE MANIPULATED BY ITSHANDLE ONLY.

Take the ODU by the handle and place the two bosses in the “nose” of the unit against the two slots in the“nose” of the antenna (the ODU–IDU link cable should be towards the base of the ODU).Nota : According to the RBS antenna used, the ODU unit should be installed in horizontal or vertical handleposition. This installation is not within polarization control. Refer to the antenna installation kayways.2. While holding the radio unit, begin by locking (Figure 16 ) the two side snap–locks on the support, thenthat at the bottom, followed by that at the top.Figure 16 – Locking the Radio unitLocking positionNEVER USE THE EXTERNAL KAYWAYS TO LOCK THE RADIO UNIT.REMINDER: The ODU/antenna assembly requires no additional seal on the SHF flanges; the two ends are smooth.

Using a control system (graduated level or inclinometer) positioned on the straight part of the antenna(Figure 18), ensure that it is perfectly horizontal (tilt 0_).2. Make a bearing alignment in the direction intended by the radio planners (compass, ”TopoChaix”, etc.).3. To avoid obstacles during installation, the “bearing” turnbuckle may be mechanically reversed on thepole–mounting. However, the bearing axis must remain vertical.4. Tighten the “coarse” bearing locking screw. Turn the bearing turn–buckle. Tighten the four bearing frontscrews (alternate diagonal tightening) torque of 1.5m daN.5. Check that the rough elevation screw is locked to a torque of 1.5m daN.6. Using the “fine” elevation adjustment on the pole mounting (site elevation turnbuckle), set the tilt angleintended by the radio planners (e.g., tilt down 5_). Check this value with the control system (graduated level,inclinometer, ”TopoChaix”, etc.) positioned on the straight horizontal part of the antenna or the polemounting.Nota : To minimize the unscrewing of the elevation turnbuckle, make careful use of the “coarse” adjustmentin the first stage. The turnbuckle must remain in the mid–position ( 85mm center distance ). Neverexceed a center distance of 94mm.7. Secure the two “elevation” side locking screws. Tighten completely the screws to lock the assembly inposition, to a torque of 3 mdaN. Finish the operation by tightening the turnbuckle counter–screws to anreference torque of 2 mdaN. This ends the antenna alignment.8. Check the bearing and elevation of the antenna once the assembly has been firmly secured. If a shift isnoted, repeat the adjustement(s) in question.

Theminimum cross–section of the conducting wire is 16 mm2.– On the pole–mounting assembly, the ground terminal comprises two tapped holes et the rear of themetal cast supporting the RBS radio (see Figure 19). According to the installation, choose the mostsuitably positioned tapped hole. The grounding screw screws on in one of the two nuts inserted intothe metal cast supporting the RBS. When changing the grounding position block the nut to avoidto lose it.Storage1. Crimp a terminal lug (ref. 16–6 CT) at each end of the cable linking the RBS unit and pole–mounting groundconnections.

The following chapters will make reference to this presentation each time the user needs to access thesoftware for a particular action (commissioning, maintenance or evolution of the configuration). The samescreen may apply for several types of action.4.1.1 – FunctionalitiesThe 9900LT software enables:– supervision of both the system assembly as a whole (the NE (Network Element)), and of itssub–assemblies (DBS, RBS, NT);– configuration of the sub–assemblies (DBS, RBS, etc.) (used when Commissioning, § 5);–setting up services (E1 leased lines, IP cross–connection), (used when Commissioning, § 5);– downloading (used in Maintenance, § 6).Nota : The 9900LT software does not manage the radio part of the terminal stations (ODU). Thesegenerate no alarms, and therefore require no other configuration apart from the installationconfiguration4.1.2 – Principles of the Man–Machine Interface (MMI) of the 9900LTThe user of the 9900LT software is expected to be familiar with the operation of software in the Windows NTtenvironment. There follows a description of some of the basic principles of the Windows NTt MMI along withothers, more specific to the 9900LT.4.1.2.1 – Opening, closing and resizing a windowHere is a reminder of how the boxes at the top right of an active window are used:Click on.... To.........minimize the active window to place the application on the taskbar.Click on the taskbar icon to restore the window....maximize the window to full–screen size....restore a window which was in full–screen size to its original size....close the active window.

Nevertheless the 9900LT software does not manage RT units.The display allows system control; alarms are activated in particular to signify any intervention.The supervision items themselves are by definition grayed out and therefore unmodifiable, whereas thosereserved for configuration can be configured by the user. They will be used in the following chapters concerningcommissioning, maintenance and configuration evolution. For the modifications to be taken into account, twoconditions must prevail: you must be in supervision mode (cf. section 4.4.1) and have write accessauthorization (cf. section 4.4.3).4.4.1 – Supervision activation/ deactivationIt is possible to delete the supervision function for a sub–assembly (BS or NT) or assembly (NE), in order toavoid a stream of data and alarms (e.g. when modifying a sub–assembly).The supervision activation/deactivation buttons are similar for each of the various screens relating to thedifferent sub–assemblies. Supervision is symbolized by an eye:Click on..... To....ou ...activate supervision of the BS or NT respectively.ou ...stop supervision of the BS or NT respectively.4.4.2 – Data retrievalAccording to the same principle as for starting up the 9900LT (automatic data retrieval following connection),this update can be carried out for each individual equipment item; data recovery is symbolized by a redarrow on the screen buttons relative to the equipment:Click on... To...or or ...activate the data recovery function for the NE, BS, and NT respectively.Nota : these operations may take quite a long time (in particular for the NE) since they depend on the allocatedbit rate of the connection between BS and manager.4.4.3 – Local access requestsThe general status bar (cf. section 4.1.2.5) displays in its central part the messages concerning write accessauthorization: “Local Access : Denied / granted”. Where there are two system managers (9900LT and anOperating System (OS : ex:1353)), these access rights are allocated by the OS manager; otherwise, writeaccess is authorized by default for the 9900LT.

An anomaly may or may notaffect the capacity of this item to carry out a required function. Several successive anomalies of the same typeare generally considered a fault.Defect: Limited interruption of the capacity of an item to carry out the required function. A defect may or may notnecessitate maintenance action.Alarm clearance: Clearing an alarm initiation by notifying its end.Board alarm function: For AMD, TNT, IBS, RBS or NT boards, the alarm function is the totality of the “Alarmscontrol” functions of the elements that they manage.Alarm masking: Storage of an alarm without immediate notification of alarm initiation. Masking allows theseriousness of the alarms for a given element to be hierarchically ordered: masking is carried out when a higherorder alarm appears. If on unmasking (carried out at the end of the higher order alarm) the alarm which wasmasked is still present, an alarm initiation must be notified.6.3.1.3 – Abbreviations relating to the alarmsAIS Alarm indication signalCRC Cyclic redundancy checkFAS Frame alignment signalLMFA Loss of multiframe alignmentLOF Loss of frame alignmentLOP Loss of pointerLOPC Loss of polling cellLORF Loss of Radio FrameLOS Loss of signalMSC Message sequence chartOOF Out of FramePAIS Pointer Alarm indication signalRAI Remote alarm indicatorRDI Remote defect indicationREI Remote error indication6.3.2 – Definition of 9900NE alarms6.3.2.1 – Alarms relating to boardsThe actions described are not necessarily controlled by the management software (they can be controlled bythe equipment itself).
