Fusion Wideband Installation Procedures
• When both bands are not configured, use the Shutdown check box. The system
will ignore any alarms generated from the shutdown bands.
• Use the pull-down to specify the Uplink and Downlink gain for each band. You
can set system gain within the specified range in 1 dB increments.
• Use the pull-down to set the Uplink Automatic Level Control to either “Single”
or “Multiple” for each band in the system. (The default is “Multiple.”
11. In the Input/Output Alarms area, do the following for each Alarm Sense:
• Enable each Alarm Sense by using the check box.
• Use the pull-down to set the Normal State to Closed or Opened. (The default is
“Closed.”
• Assign a label to each alarm sense.
12. When you have completed inputting the desired information, click Install System
to configure the system.
During configuration all disconnect statuses are cleared for attached RAUs; the
frequency band, gain, and system label are set; logs are cleared; the system test is
performed; and finally the system tree is refreshed. The icons should be:
Indicating that the band is correctly set.
Indicating that communications are OK.
If there are problems, the icons will be different and a message is displayed in the
Messages pane.
13. Connect the Main Hub to the RF source (for example, BTS or BDA).
Do not exceed the maximum input RF power (1 Watt) to the Fusion Wide-
band Main Hub. Exceeding the limit could cause permanent damage to the
Hub.
CAUTION:Only carriers and their approved installers or ADC-authorized
installers are allowed to connect to the RF source. Serious damage to the
equipment can occur if it is over-driven.
The Fusion Wideband system should now be operational. Using a mobile phone,
walk your site and test the signal strength.
14. Make sure to change the TCP/IP setting in your laptop back to their original val-
ues.
NOTE: ADC equipment is designed to operate in the licensed frequency
bands of mobile operators. In the USA, the EU, and most countries this
equipment may only be used by the licensee, his authorized agents or those
with written authorization to do so. Similarly, unauthorized use is illegal,
and subjects the owner to the corresponding legal sanctions of the national
