![2. INTRODUCTION 2.1. PURPOSE Cellular telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between a base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distribution system. Such a system contains an optical master unit and several remote units. The number of the remote units depends on the hardware and software configuration. The remote units are connected to the master unit with optical links. The optical loss must be less than 10 dB inclusive optical couplers or splitters. The master unit is the connection to the base transceiver stations. The configuration of a master unit depends on the number of the remote units and the frequency range. The optical transmission uses WDM-systems with a wavelength of 1550 nm in the uplink and 1310 nm in the downlink. 2.2. THE ION-M8P S (INTELLIGENT OPTICAL NETWORK; MMR) The Andrew ION-M8P S is a multi-operator remote unit with various extension units. It is used in conjunction with a master unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports the entire 700 MHz public safety and 800 MHz LMR frequency bands simultaneously, providing a cost-efficient solution for distributing capacity from one or more base stations. The ION-M8P S transports signals on the RF layer in a very inexpensive manner. This means that multiple operators and multiple technologies are moved simultaneously from a cluster of base stations to a remote location over the same fiber. The ION optical distribution system is a cost-effective coverage solution for dense urban areas, tunnels, subway, airports, convention centers, high-rise buildings and other locations where physical structures increase path loss. It has been specifically designed to reduce zoning problems and to provide homogeneous coverage. The compact, mechanical design is specifically architected to mount at poles or along side structures in such a way that it has a minimum visual impact. The ION-M8P S performance is available both in single or multi-band configuration supporting 700 MHz, and 800 MHz in parallel. It has been specifically tested and optimized for TDMA, CDMA2000, and WCDMA. Furthermore it is provisioned for future improvements to modulations (e.g. HSPA+, EV-DO and OFDM) and frequency bands. In addition it is backwards compatible to legacy standards such as Analog. 13 of 42](https://usermanual.wiki/Andrew-Wireless-System/IONM8PS.User-Manual/User-Guide-1678754-Page-13.png)
![The ION is easily set-up and supervised via a graphical user interface (GUI). Remote units can be commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment. An auto leveling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and quick. The entire system may be monitored remotely via an Andrew OMC. This is a comprehensive management platform with SNMP protocol and X.733 standard implemented. Should a sophisticated interface not be required, the master unit can be directly connected to the alarm interface of a base station via relay alarming. Features: Multi-band, multi-operator support Reduced visual impact form factor High, efficient power amplifier Single fiber for multiple bands and multiple remotes Comprehensive operations and management system for configuration and alarming OMC with SNMP according to X.733 standard Easy installation and commissioning Redundancy configuration option 2.3.

Make sure to connect the correct voltage to the unit. 19 of 42](https://usermanual.wiki/Andrew-Wireless-System/IONM8PS.User-Manual/User-Guide-1678754-Page-19.png)
![ Note: Do not connect or disconnect the power cord at the mains connector while power is on. Turn off mains * power before connecting the power cord at the remote unit, then, engage mains again. * Mains power must be interrupted with an external mains breaker. For the mains breaker, observe the following recommendation: 120 Volt / 20 Amp max. or 240 Volt / 16 Amp, single-phase, 50 / 60 Hz AC service is needed, i.e. the external AC breaker should be 20 Amps max. for 120-Volt service or 16 Amps for 240-Volt service. For the DC power supply, observe the local regulations of the DC service provider. 3.3. CONNECTION OF THE ANTENNA CABLES The Main Unit has N connectors. For its location, please refer to chapter 3.2.2 Connections. However, the Combining Unit has 7/16 antenna connectors (described in separate manual). For mounting the cable connectors, it is recommended to refer to the corresponding documentation of the connector manufacturer. The bending radius of the antenna cables must remain within the given specifications. For the selection of cable and antenna it should be considered that, on the one hand, a cable with higher loss is less expensive but, on the other hand, it impairs performance. Use an appropriate torque wrench for the coupling torque of N-type connectors (2 N-m / 20 in lb), with 13/16 inch opening to tighten the N-type antenna connectors. For example, use torque wrench of item no. 244379 available from the Andrew e-catalog. Do NOT use your hands or any other tool (e.g. a pair of pliers)! This might cause damage to the connector and lead to a malfunction of the Remote Unit. Use an appropriate torque wrench for the coupling torque (25 N-m / 19 ft lb) of 7/16-DIN connectors with 1 ¼-inch opening to tighten the 7/16-type antenna connectors. For example, use torque wrench of item no. 244377 available from the Andrew e-catalog. Do NOT use your hands or any other tool (e.g. a pair of pliers)! This might cause damage to the connector and lead to a malfunction of the Remote Unit. 3.4. CONNECTION OF THE RF CABLES MAIN UNIT TO COMBINING UNIT To connect RF cables to Combining Unit, connect corresponding ports according to frequency as labelled. For orientation of the location of connectors please refer to the illustrations of Main Unit in chapter 3.2.2 Connections and/ or of Combining Unit in chapter 4.6 Redundancy Relay Configuration. 20 of 42](https://usermanual.wiki/Andrew-Wireless-System/IONM8PS.User-Manual/User-Guide-1678754-Page-20.png)
![3.5. OPTICAL-FIBRE-CABLE CONNECTION - RULES Optical signals are transmitted by use of optical fibres. When connecting these fibres observe the following instructions. Note: Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fibre-optic cables. Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective caps on fibre-optic connectors not in use. In general, optical fibres do not need special protective measures. However, protection against environmental influences e.g. rodents and humidity must be considered. The optical fibre is a single-mode fibre. Type is E9/125 µm with the following minimum requirements. Attenuation: <0.36 dB / km @ 1310 nm / <0.26 dB / km @ 1550 nm Dispersion: <3.5 ps / nm km @ 1310 nm / <18.0 ps / nm km @ 1550 nm The specified bending radius of the optical fibres must not be exceeded. The pigtails for the connection between mini master and remote unit must have a sufficient length. A protection for the feeding into units must be given. For ION-M8P S, the system attenuation of the optical fibres, including the connectors, must not exceed 10 dB. System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. This can be achieved by measuring attenuation and reflection with an appropriate measuring instrument. For pigtails, a total value of < 0.4 dB (measured to a reference plug) can be assumed due to the dead zone of the reflectometer. These measurements must be made with a sufficient length of optical fibre, at the input and output of the device which has to be measured. Fibre-cable connectors have to be of the same type (E2000APC) as the connectors used for the unit. The fibre-optic cables are connected to the optical transceiver. Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors; non-compatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to both connectors. Before connecting the fibre cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized performance.

![ Remove fibre-optic protective caps. Do not bend the fibre-optic cable in a tight radius (< 4 cm) as this may cause cable damage and interrupt transmission. Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of the fibre-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor interface box. Blow out the laser receptacle with clean and dry compressed air to remove any particulate matter. Connect the fibre-optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser receptacle and aligning the key (on the cable end) with the keyed slot. Do not use any index matching gels or fluids of any kind in these connectors. Gels are intended for laboratory use and attract dirt in the field. 3.5.1. Protective Plug Connection: A protective plug is provided for the connection of the fibre-optic cables. figure 3-7 Protective-plug assembly Note: Only high-quality connectors must be used for this type of plug. Qualified brands are Diamond or Huber & Suhner. 22 of 42](https://usermanual.wiki/Andrew-Wireless-System/IONM8PS.User-Manual/User-Guide-1678754-Page-22.png)
![For plug assembly, observe the following instruction: 1. Pass one or two contacts through the backshell and the clamp ring. 2. Place the contact(s) on the lower insulation body by pushing the groove of the contact into the cavity. If there is only one contact, cavity A must be used. * 3. Then, mount the upper insulation body on the lower insulation body. ** 4. Bring the insulator into the plug. The narrow groove of the insulator must be fitted into the stamp of the plug. * To release the contact for disassembling, push the inner snap to the side and pull the contact out. ** To release upper and lower insulation bodies for disassembling, use a small screwdriver and carefully open the snap-connections at the left and the right side of the insulator without damaging them. 5. Fasten the insulator by screwing the backshell tight onto it. Use a spanner with opening 32 to screw the backshell tight (no gap). 6. Place the appropriate seal parts (with one groove for one contact or two grooves for two contacts) over the cable(s) and push them into the backshell.
