Chapter 3. System Overview This section overviews features and capabilities of Eclipse with IRU 600 for the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band. Eclipse with IRU600, 5.8 GHz, is compliant with FCC CFR47, Part 15.247. • It has been tested and certified for use with a parabolic antenna with a maximum gain of 46.8 dBi. • The filters used in the IRU 600 RF unit allow for transmission only in the frequency range 5725 - 5850MHz to ensure compliance with Part 15.247.
Chapter 3. System Overview Refer to: • Eclipse Indoor Units • Eclipse IRU 600 • Platform Layout • Protection Options • Eclipse Licensing • Configuration and Management • Eclipse Antennas • Eclipse Power Supply Eclipse Indoor Units There are two indoor units, the INU, and INUe (extended INU). The INU is a 1RU chassis, the INUe is 2RU. Mandatory plug-ins are the NCC (Node Control Card) and FAN (Fan card).
Eclipse Installation Manual INUe The INUe requires one NCC and one 2RU FAN. It has provision for up to ten option cards and supports a maximum of five RFUs for five non-protected links, or two protected/diversity links plus one non-protected link. Figure 3-2. INUe Plug-in Cards Plug-in cards for the INU or INUe enable quick and easy customization on Eclipse configurations. All cards are hot-pluggable. • RACs support the radio modem function.
Chapter 3. System Overview • It incorporates a router function for local and remote network management interconnection. • Eclipse configuration and licensing data is held in flash-memory. • Required power supply is -48 Vdc (-40.5 to -60 Vdc). • FAN (Fan card) provides forced-air cooling. This is a mandatory card. • NPC (Node Protection Card) provides 1+1 protection functions for the NCC power supply and backplane management. • PCC (Power Conversion Card) supports operation from a a +24 Vdc power supply.
Eclipse Installation Manual RAC 6X RAC 6X adds CCDP operation to RAC 60 capabilities. Two RAC 6X cards are operated as a CCDP pair, either in the same INU, or in separate co-located INUs to provide double the capacity over one channel using both the horizontal and vertical polarizations. An XPIC function between the RACs ensures cross-polarization interference is eliminated. Figure 3-4.
Chapter 3. System Overview Figure 3-6. DAC ES DAC 16X DAC 16x supports 16xDS1 tributaries on Mini RJ-21 connectors. Figure 3-7. DAC 16x DAC 4X DAC 4x supports 4xDS1 tributaries on individual RJ-45 connectors. Figure 3-8. DAC 4X DAC 3xDS3 DAC 3xDS3 supports 3xDS3 tributaries on paired mini-BNC connectors. Figure 3-9. DAC 3xDS3 DAC 3xDS3M DAC 3xDS3M supports three operational modes: • Normal DS3 tributary operation (as for DAC 3xDS3) • M13 multiplexer mode.
Eclipse Installation Manual DAC 1x155o DAC 1x155o supports one OC3 single-mode optical tributary on SC connectors. Figure 3-12. DAC 1x155o DAC 2x155o DAC 2x155o supports two OC3 single-mode optical tributaries on SC connectors. Figure 3-13. DAC 2x155o DAC 155oM DAC 155oM multiplexes an OC3 optical tributary to an NxDS1 backplane. The user interface is provided on an SFP optical transceiver. Different SFPs support 1310nm single or multi-mode, or 850nm multi-mode.
Chapter 3. System Overview NCC The NCC is a mandatory plug-in for an INU/INUe. It performs key node management and control functions, and provides various dc rails from the -48 Vdc input. It also incorporates a plug-in flash card, which holds Node configuration and license data. Power input limits are -40.5 to -60 Vdc. The power connector is a D-Sub M/F 2W2. The +ve dc return pin is connected to chassis ground. Figure 3-16. NCC FAN The FAN is a mandatory plug-in. There are two variants, 2RU and 1RU.
Eclipse Installation Manual Eclipse IRU 600 The IRU 600 is a 3RU rack-mounted transceiver unit for co-location with an INU/ INUe as an all-indoor installation. IRU 600 is 1+1 optimized with provision for two RFUs (Radio Frequency Unit) and a companion filter-based ACU (Antenna Coupler Unit). High power and standard power RFUs are available. Both are highly energy efficient. (50W power consumption for standard power, 98W for high power).
Chapter 3. System Overview Platform Layout Eclipse supports flexible customization of traffic type, traffic capacity, and traffic protection. Table 3-1 lists INU and INUe platform support for: • Non-protected and protected/diversity links • Slot availability for option plug-ins • Over-air data types supported • IRU 600 Table 3-1.
Eclipse Installation Manual Table 3-2.
Chapter 3. System Overview Protection Options Eclipse supports link, interface, network, and platform protection options: Link/Path Protection Hot-standby, space diversity, frequency diversity, or dual protection options are available. RACs and their companion IRU 600 are protectable. Rx voting is hitless/errorless; Tx switching is not hitless. The maximum restoration time for a Tx switch is 200 ms. A remote Tx switch is forced in the event of a silent Tx failure.
Eclipse Installation Manual Ring and Mesh Networks RWPRTM (Resilient Wireless Packet Ring) is a fast-switched RSTP link management protocol for layer 2 switches. RSTP, itself a fast switched evolution of the original STP, prevents live network loops and provides path redundancy where two or more paths exist between network nodes. • RWPR represents a particularly effective enhanced RSTP protocol. When configured in Eclipse ring networks, reconvergence times are as low as 50 mS.
Chapter 3. System Overview Power Supply Protection • Protection is hitless for an NCC power supply failure. If the NCC converter or one of its supply rails fails, the NPC will take over without interruption. And vice versa. • With an NPC installed, the NCC can be withdrawn and replaced without further impacting traffic. • For 24 Vdc operation two PCCs are required for platform protection, one each for the NCC and NPC. Eclipse Licensing Eclipse is subject to capacity and feature licensing.
Eclipse Installation Manual Configuration and Management Eclipse is a software-driven product; there are no manual controls. Configuration and management is achieved via Portal and ProVision. • Portal is a PC based configuration and diagnostics tool for Eclipse. • ProVision is the Eclipse network element manager. ProVision also supports other Aviat products, including legacy products.
Chapter 3. System Overview Eclipse Power Supply Eclipse is designed to operate from a -48 Vdc power supply (+ve earth) but will operate to specification over a voltage range of -40.5 to -60 Vdc. A plug-in PCC option provides a voltage conversion function for locations where the power supply is +24 Vdc. It converts + 24 (19 to 36) Vdc to -56 Vdc for connection to the INU -48Vdc input. -56 Vdc represents the typical float voltage for a battery-backed -48 Vdc supply.
Chapter 4. Introduction to Eclipse Installation This section introduces Eclipse installation procedures, from unpacking and checking the equipment to completion of the physical installation. Eclipse has been tested for and meets EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. The equipment was tested using screened cable; if any other type of cable is used, it may violate compliance. Eclipse is a Class A product. In a domestic environment it may cause radio interference: be prepared to resolve this.
Chapter 4. Introduction to Eclipse Installation Equipment Tool/Material Description Eclipse Radios Basic electrician’s toolkit The kit must include a crimp lugs, a crimp tool for attaching the lugs to stranded copper cable, and a multimeter. Torque wrench Capable of 66 N-m or 50 ft-lb, with a selection of sockets for antenna mount fastening Hot-air gun For use on the heat-shrink tubing that may be supplied with some brands of Type N connector.
Chapter 5. Installing the IRU 600 Before installation and commissioning of the IRU 600 and companion INU, its antenna, waveguide, and waveguide pressurization equipment must be installed according to manufacturer’s instructions. For compliance information, refer to Compliance and Notices. For health and safety information, refer to Health and Safety. For information on installing an INU, refer to Installing the INU and INUe.
Chapter 5. Installing the IRU 600 Ventilation Requirement There must be a minimum of 50 mm (2”) of side spacing from the INU/INUe to any rack panels, cable bundles or similar, and 50 mm (2”) of space to the front and back of the RF section to ensure proper ventilation. Grounding The grounding stud as shown in Figure 5-2 will accommodate a wrist strap using the jack at the front. It also will accommodate cable up to 16 mm2 (AWG 6).
Eclipse Installation Manual Safety Requirements for Equipment Grounding 1. Ground wires must provide a direct, low impedance path to the Master Ground bar for the building, which should be located adjacent to the point of waveguide entry to the building. 2. Do not connect other equipment to the same grounding cable as the IRU 600. Each item of equipment in a rack must be separately grounded to the rack ground bar. The rack ground bar is then grounded directly to the building Master Ground. 3.
Chapter 5. Installing the IRU 600 Connect Waveguide(s) to Antenna Ports(s) Connect the ACU antenna port(s) to the main waveguide(s) using appropriate lengths of flexible waveguide. For information on required waveguide flanges, and recommended waveguide type, refer to Table 5-1. Remove and discard any protective flange/port covers before installation. Figure 5-3. ACU and Waveguide Connection Table 5-1.
Eclipse Installation Manual • For a +24 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to +24 Vdc (live), and the black wire to ground/-ve. • For NEBS compliance the battery return connection is to be treated as an isolated DC return (DC-I), as defined in GR-1089-CORE. • An integral DC/DC converter provides polarity protection, under/over voltage shutdown, over-current limit, and thermal shutdown. • NEBS compliant EMI filtering is included. • There are no serviceable fuses.
Chapter 5.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe The INU and the INUe are the Eclipse indoor units. This chapter includes: • INU/INUe Description • INU/INUe Installation Requirements • Plug-in Installation Requirements • Installing an INU For compliance information, refer to Compliance and Notices. For health and safety information, refer to Health and Safety. For information on installing an IRU 600, refer to Installing the IRU 600.

One ear has a combined ESD and IDC grounding stud. The ears can be fitted either side, which provide flush-with-rack-front mounting.
Eclipse Installation Manual Power Consumption and INU Load Maximums Total power consumed is dependent on the number and type of plug-in cards, and the number and type of IRU 600s. • The number and type of RACs and DACs that can be installed in an INU are determined by the load capacity and temperature limits of the DC converter in the NCC, which supplies various DC rails to the plug-in cards. • IRU 600s and FANs are not powered via the NCC converter.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Configuration Power Sourced from INU Power Sourced from External DC Connector Total DC Power 1+1 FD Standard Power (2xRFU) 104W N/A 104W 1+1 FD High Power (2xRFU) 104W 76W 180W Node Card Maximums The following guidelines should be used to determine maximum INU card/power loadings for various node (INUe) configurations. Maximums are primarily determined by operating temperature limits imposed on the DC converter modules in the NCC (and NPC).
Eclipse Installation Manual • When installed in an INUe, the INUe must be fitted with the 2RU FAN module as it provides almost double the air flow of two 1RU FAN modules. • The PCC should always be installed next to the FAN card to get best air flow cooling. • The PCC must be connected to the NCC before applying power to the PCC to avoid a current-inrush trip (overload) on the PCC. • The PCC can be plugged into any INU/INUe option slot.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe This cable is fitted with a D-sub M/F 2W2 connector at each end. Note that a standard power cable is not included for the reason the cable supplied with an NCC (or NPC) is not used when powered from a PCC, or via a power line filter, so the cable is re-used as the power input cable for the PCC or filter unit. Fuses The NCC and NPC are fitted with a fast-acting 25 A fuse fitted on the PCB behind the power cable connector.
Eclipse Installation Manual FAN module removal and replacement does not affect INUe traffic. 2. Fasten in place using the screw supplied. Do not over-tighten - the screw is designed to bite into the unthreaded hole provided in the plastic frame. 3. Replace the FAN module. Installation instructions are included with the fan filter kit. Figure 6-5.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe INU/INUe Installation Requirements Table 6-1. INU Installation Requirements Function/Requirement Details Restricted access The INU/INUe and its associated dc power supply must be installed in a restricted access area such as a secure equipment room, closet, or cabinet. For NEBS compliance, this equates to installation of the INU/INUe in a secure, restricted access central office (CO) or customer premises (CP) location. Required Rack Space The INU requires 44.
Eclipse Installation Manual Function/Requirement Details Power Supply +24 Vdc A PCC is required to provide a +24 Vdc to -48 VDC conversion. The dc power supply supplying the PCC must be -ve grounded. There must be no switching or disconnecting devices in the ground conductor between the dc power supply and the point of connection to a PCC.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Plug-in Installation Requirements The IDC has four universal slots and two dedicated slots. The IDCe has six universal slots, three restricted slots and 4 dedicated slots. A populated IDC/IDCe is called an INU/INUe. Figure 6-7. Slot Numbering for INU and INUe INU Slot 2 NCC Slot 3 Slot 4 Fan Slot 1 INUe Slot 3 Slot 4 Slot 5 Slot 6 Slot 7 Slot 8 Slot 9 NCC Slot 10 Fan Slot 2 Fan Slot 1 Installing or changing out a plug-in is a straightforward process.
Eclipse Installation Manual Function/Requirement Priority NPC Details Only one NPC is required to provide the NCC protection option. An NPC must be installed in slot 4 of an INU, or slot 10 of an INUe. If an NPC is not installed in an INU, slot 4 is available as a universal slot. Installing / Changing Plug-ins ESD grounding strap Always connect yourself to the INU/INUe with an ESD grounding strap before changing or removing a plug-in. Failure to do so can cause ESD damage to the plug-ins.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Function/Requirement RAC combinations for INUe Priority Details An INUe can be fitted with a maximum of: • Five RAC 60s. • Four RAC 6Xs. (The reduced RAC numbers are to ensure temperature limits within the INUe are not exceeded at high ambients. See Node Card Maximums.) DACs DAC combinations DACs can be fitted singly or in combination to provide a mix of interface types and capacities provided they have a common backplane configuration.
Eclipse Installation Manual Installing an INU Procedure 1. Fit the rack mounting ears to the chassis with the grounding stud to left or right side for the most direct ground wire path to the rack ground bar. 2. Locate the INU/INUe in the equipment rack and secure it using four No.12 Phillips dome-head screws from the IDC installation kit. 3. Where NEBS compliance is required, install the power line filter unit. Install immediately below or above the INU.
Chapter 6. Installing the INU and INUe Where a fan air filter is to be installed, install it prior to installing the FAN plug-in. 7. Install the CompactFlash card in the NCC plug-in; withdraw the NCC and insert in the socket on the right side of the PCB. 8. Fit the IF cable between the RAC(s) and IRU 600 RFU(s). IF cables are supplied with the IRU 600. Fit the DAC tributary cables. For a DAC 16x, ensure correct orientation of the Mini RJ-21 connector before pushing it home.
Eclipse Installation Manual Eclipse dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to be routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept away from any AC power lines which cross them. 13. Carry out a complete check of the installation. If all is correct, and the IRU 600 and its waveguide, pressurization and antenna installation has likewise been completed and checked, Eclipse is now ready for power-on.
