Installation Rack Installation Positioning and Securing Racks Installing Rack in a Suite From the site survey, confirm the position of the CT Rack(s). If the racks are to be positioned in a suite, metalwork will be required to secure it to the overhead structure. Either a proprietary system or fabricated steelwork will be required - see site survey. Manoeuvre the racks into position.
Printed Documentation Typical Overhead Ironwork Support Note: In installations where threaded droprods in excess of 500mm are employed it may be necessary to provide additional support bars to ensure rigidity of the support structure. Securing a Rack to a Wall If the rack is to be positioned against a wall, attach two right-angled wall brackets to the top of the rack and finger tighten with the provided M12 screws. Manoeuvre the racks into position against the wall.
Installation DC Power and Alarm Cabling Rack Earthing Using the site survey, locate the building central [safety] grounding point. Run an earth cable rated at 30A to each rack and connect it to the centre earth stud located at the top or at the side of the rack. (only one external earth per rack) See illustrations below. These points are labelled with the IEC Earth symbol. Rack earthing at top Rack earthing at base Other external safety earth connections must not be made to the rack.
Printed Documentation Terminate the battery feed and return cables at the isolator/fuse positions, and ensure that the AC rack is isolated until the commencement of commissioning tests. DC Power The cables for the negative DC battery feeds, the 0V returns and the Rack Ground are detailed in. Should local requirements specify otherwise, it is acceptable for cables of other colours to be used, however, under no circumstances should the cable sizes be less than that specified in.
Installation Power Supply Configurations Three alternative methods are possible to connect the DC supply to the rack. Secure Supply: This is the preferred method as it provides DC from different sources giving greater resilience of supply than the other methods. (see diagram above and note 2 below) From each Distribution Boards (DB) run and tie in a negative battery feed and a zero volt return to a Dual Pole Isolating switch and then from the isolating switch to the AC/CT rack installed.
Printed Documentation Dual Supply: Both feeds are fed from the same Distribution Boards (DB) and separately fused so that in the event of one fuse failing the rack is supplied via the other fuse. Run and tie in two negative battery feeds and a two zero volt returns from the Distribution Board to a Dual Pole Isolating switch and then from the isolating switch to the to the AC/CT rack installed. These supplies should be rated at 30A. Power cables must be run and tied separate from signal cables.
Installation Remove clear plastic cover protecting the DC input terminals. Trim cables and strip 7mm. Crimp a spade terminal or terminal ring onto the wire and attach to terminals inside the Fuse and Alarm panel at the appropriate connection points. The negative supplies go to Termination Block 1 & 4. The positive battery returns go to 2 & 5. Replace clear plastic cover protecting the DC input terminals. DC Termination on Fuse and Alarm Panel.

Setting up system tests at the Access Concentrator. Create CAS XTU in a spare slot (slot 10 if spare). Create CAS subscriber in Sitespan. Note the timeslot and E1 link used.
Printed Documentation The presence of the loopback should be seen at the BER test set. Inject 1 error into the test signal and observe it on the incoming signal to check that errors are detected. Start and stop the test to clear the injected error. Observe the return signal on the T1/E1 out to establish that the link is error free. Run BER test for 1 Hour.

If the CT is required to operate with a downlink of 64QAM then the output should be backed off by 3dB. Note: This will affect the system coverage and should be taken into account at the radio planning stage.
Setup and Test Set RX sensitivity using a DACU without Calibrated Coupler This procedure should be used to commission the CT if using a DACU. At the end of this test a label with the calibrated value should be attached to the coupler. Calibrated attenuators and cables are provided with the DACU for this test. The RX sensitivity is set according to the required CT RX level. It is important to note that the lower the modulation rate the further the geographical spread.

Printed Documentation Packet System Testing Data Tests To pass Ethernet traffic through the AS4020 system, it will be necessary to transfer data between a Server connected to the “Traffic” Ethernet port of the AS4020 CT, and a PC connected to an ST. To test basic functionality, the following throughput speed tests are performed. Test Method & Results: Windows 2000 has a built-in FTP server.
Setup and Test Configuration of the FTP Server: The FTP Server needs a home directory – this is where the “root” of the FTP server will be located, and where the files will be downloaded from. These steps detail configuring the directory location, and additionally some other required parameters such as access rights: 1. Right-Click on the “My Computer” icon on the desktop, and choose the option “Manage”.
Printed Documentation Creating suitable download / upload test files: Due to the high transfer rates possible with the AS4020 system, suitably sized test files should be transferred. The recommended test file sizes are of the order of 1Mbyte (uploading) and 10Mbyte (downloading). We must also ensure that any file compression does not result in files appearing to be transferred faster than they actually are.
Setup and Test Using the FTP Client, and automating the transfers: To perform the data transfers, an FTP Client running on a PC connected to an ST will download and upload data files to the FTP Server running on a computer connected to the same network as the Traffic Port of the AS4020. To avoid the influence of other network traffic, all other computers on the network should be disconnected.
Printed Documentation 6. The Server will ask for a username and password. Enter the username “ftp”, and the password can be anything, even left blank if the FTP Server is set up as described earlier. Note: A blank anonymous password will not work on all types of FTP server, some may require a correctly formatted email address (e.g. a@b.com) as the password. Also, the username ftp is equivalent to typing the username anonymous. 7. Switch the transfer mode to binary, by entering the command bin; 8.
Setup and Test Please refer to the technical note at the end of this section, explaining why the figure will be less than the theoretical maximum data rate available. 10. To exit from the FTP program, type “quit” at the prompt Creating batch files for automatic File Transfers: As mentioned earlier, it will be much more convenient to have test batch files which will automatically perform a file transfer, and then pause to show the results.
Printed Documentation Therefore the “Ethernet” overhead is 100*1514/1460 = 3.7% Additionally, there is an overhead associated with Airspan’s air interface. The data is sent in small blocks, transmitted every 4ms on multiple RW channels simultaneously. Additionally, an ST can receive up to 4 blocks simultaneously. Each block has a 4 byte overhead.
Setup and Test Voice Option Testing Option Module Test It is only possible to fully test the voice module if the installation of the AC and the backhaul connections to the switch are in place. Netspan also needs to be connected. The card is set for 120ohm or 75ohm dependant on the type of backhaul selected on Netspan. When connected to the AC using the correct impedance port the relevant LED should be green. A red LED signifies link disconnection, and an amber LED signifies link present but faulty.

Printed Documentation Circuit Board Assemblies Circuit board assemblies must be individually boxed in Airspan-approved shipping containers, to properly protect them from static electricity damage. Static Control Rules Airspan uses state-of-the-art semiconductors to obtain the fastest, most reliable operation. These components are highly sensitive, and can be damaged by a static discharge as low as 250V.
General Individually boxed PCBs must be placed into a larger packing case for shipment. Board boxes alone do not sufficiently protect against shipping damage. Empty space in shipping cases must be filled with additional shipping boxes to prevent part movement and damage during handling. Power Supplies And Peripherals Each type of assembly must be shipped in its specifically-designed packing box. Retain individual shipping containers for these items.
