MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X1 Appendix F F.1 BER Test Procedure Bit Error Rate (BER) Diagnostic Test The Bit Error Rate (BER) Diagnostic Test is used to execute BER tests of the MCSeries OPM System. The Diagnostic Test supports multi-channel RadioBlade (MCRB) transceivers in the 800E MHz band. BER testing gives a pass/fail determination for each blade and should be performed on all blades in the Diversity RadioBlade shelf (DRBS).

MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X1 • The RadioBlade transceiver under test must be in the active state and unlocked (UEA). F.3 Test Tool • Signal generator (sig gen) A Motorola R2660 Communications Analyzer can be used as the source of the test signal for the MC-Series OPM System during the BER test. F.

Connect a laptop to port 8 of the ABIC CRIC using an Ethernet (CAT-5) cable. 2. Boot the laptop, start System Manager and log in. 3. Launch a browser session and then enter the MC-Series OPM System IP address (http://192.168.200.5). Select the Performance Monitoring tab to display the login window.

MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X1 F.7 RadioBlade Transceiver Pre-Test This section covers preparation for testing: determining the status of the RadioBlade transceivers in the system, taking the system out of service and preparing the blades and Sig Gen to run the tests. These steps presume that you are logged in to System Manager on the monitor laptop and that the Sig Gen is connected. Refer to F.5 (Equipment Connection/Setup). 1.

MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X1 4. F.7.1 To lock a RadioBlade transceiver, select its open lock icon, and, when prompted, select Accept. Or you can use the lock all hot link to administratively lock all blades with one command. RadioBlade Transceiver BER Test This section covers the method to use to measure receiver BER and determine whether each RadioBlade transceiver passes. Testing is organized by sector to minimize the need to move the Sig Gen leads.

Approximately every second, the page reports the current BER measurement (BER) and the running average of the ten latest BER measurements (BER Avg). Record these results, and then select the Stop Test button. a.

MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X1 b. If the only BER measurements reported are 50%, NO DATA, or both, verify that all procedure steps have been completed. If no problems are found, cycle power to the R2660 and set it up again to generate an inbound 1x6 test signal at the desired frequency and signal level into the Rx port. It may take a few minutes for the R2660 test signal to stabilize. If there's still no change after cycling power to the R2660, select the Stop Test button.

998-5005-01 Rev X1 Appendix G Warning! MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide Dangerous RF Emissions Precautions The MC-Series OPM System has been approved for antennas up to +20 dBi. At energy levels within the approved range, operation may present hazards to life and health. RF emission level is a function of the installation. Accordingly, it is the responsibility of the equipment owner, and not RadioFrame Networks, Inc., to apply signage to the site if it is required under 47 CFR 1.1310.

MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X1 meets the FCC requirements. FCC OET Bulletin 65 provides materials to assist in making determinations if a given facility is compliant with the human exposure to RF radiation limits. Determining the compliance of transmitter sites of various complexities may be accomplished by means of computational methods. For more complex sites direct measurement of power density may be more expedient.

MC-Series Outdoor Pole Mount Users Guide 998-5005-01 Rev X1 Before working on antennas, notify owners and disable appropriate transmitters. Warning! Maintain minimum 3 feet clearance from all antennas. Warning! Do not stop in front of antennas. Warning! Use personal RF monitors while working near antennas. Warning! Never operate transmitters without shields during normal operation. Warning! MC-Series ©2007 RadioFrame Networks, Inc.
