During Installation LED State Action Impact Off Check AC power; make sure the Expansion Hub power-on switch is on; replace the Expansion Hub. The Expansion Hub is not powering on.
Installing RAUs INSTALLING RAUS CAUTION! Install RAUs in indoor locations only. Do not connect an antenna that is installed in an outdoor location to an RAU. For outdoor installations, a protective enclosure is required. NOTE: The following procedures assume that the system is new from the factory and that it has not been programmed with bands.
Installing Fusion Wideband 800/850 MHz Isolation Requirements When deploying any RF system, give special attention to preventing receiver blocking or desensitization by out‐of‐band transmitters. Typically, sharp filters in the receiver front‐end will reduce the interfering transmitters to tolerable levels. In select cases, the interferers may occupy a frequency band that is directly adjacent to the receiving band and cannot be adequately rejected by filtering.
Installing RAUs 800 MHz iDEN Downlink and 850 MHz Cellular Uplink A 2 MHz frequency gap (851 – 849 MHz) separates the 800 iDEN downlink and 850 Cellular uplink frequency bands. Because of this narrow spacing, 800 iDEN downlink intermodulation products may fall within the 850 Cellular uplink band. In addition, 800 iDEN downlink signals near the lower edge of the band at 851 MHz may cause the 850 Cellular uplink automatic level control (ALC) circuitry in the RAU to engage and thereby reduce uplink gain.
Installing Fusion Wideband Connecting the CATV Cable 1 Verify that the cable has been tested and the test results are recorded. This information is required for the As‐Built Document. 2 Verify that only captive centerpin 75 Ohm Type‐F connectors are used on the solid copper center conductor CATV 75 Ohm cable.
Installing RAUs Troubleshooting Using RAU LEDs During Installation The LINK LED should be green and remain green for longer than 90 seconds. The ALARM LEDs are red when the system band has not been programmed. Table 89. Troubleshooting RAU LEDs During Installation During Installation LED State Action Impact The RAU is connected to the Fusion Wideband Expansion Hub, which is powered on LINK Off Check CATV cable. No power to the RAU.
Installing Fusion Wideband CONFIGURING THE FUSION WIDEBAND SYSTEM Before the system can operate properly, use AdminBrowser to program the Fusion Wideband Main Hub with the frequency bands that are to be distributed. The Hub must be programmed with the same frequencies as the RAU used. The AdminBrowser software, described in the AdminBrowser User Manual (PN D‐620607‐0‐20), must be running on a PC/laptop. NOTE: The frequency bands should automatically be set on power up and this step should not be required.
