Numerals are allowed, but cannot be the first character of the name. b In the DART Pass Band (Timeslots) list, select the DART Pass Band to be supported by this DART.
Initial Prism System Setup For dual DART configurations, such as dual-pcs, smr800/smr900 and dual-aws, both DARTs must have DART Diversity Status set to nonDiversity. The diversity status of the Host DART will extend to the Remote DART connected to it. For further information, see “Link the Host and Remote DARTs.” on page 159. e In the DART Forward Gain list, set this value (0 to 31 dB) based upon the fully loaded forward path signal level from the Base Station.
Configure the Host DARTs When setting the DART Reverse Gain value, the following rules must be observed: n The DART Reverse Gain setting can be used to overcome losses from the Host DART to the BTS. If you want unity reverse path gain and the losses to the BTS are 20 dB, then the Reverse Gain should be set to 20 dB. n If you want to match the URH noise floor to the BTS noise floor, then the noise floors for both the URH and the BTS must be known.
Initial Prism System Setup 6.7 ENTER A REMOTE NAME A Remote becomes known to the EMS when an optical fiber is connected from the Host to the Remote and IP has been enabled as described in “Provision the Host SeRF Optical Ports” on page 151. The Remote appears as Remote_Unknown_RmtName in the the EMS Function Explorer Tree of functions and can be renamed using the following procedure. Remotes are assigned a number from 1 through 8 that correspond to the physical SFP port assignment on the Host.
Enter a Remote Name 28 8 In the Remote Name box, enter a name for the Remote. The Remote Name must be between 5 and 40 characters with no spaces. The only special character allowed is an underscore, but it cannot be the first character of the name. Numerals are allowed, but cannot be the first character of the name. 29 9 Click Apply. The new Remote Name is shown in the in the Function Explorer Tree and the Remote Unit view. FlexWave Prism Host, Remote and EMS 5.
Initial Prism System Setup 6.8 CONFIGURE THE REMOTE SERF OPTICAL PORTS 30 0 In the Function Explorer Tree, select System View, Remotes, Remote#-x, SERF, Optical Ports (where Remote# indicates the Remote number that corresponds to a Host SFP port number and n is the Remote name). The Optical Ports view for the selected Remote opens in the EMS View Frame. For information on the optical port indicators, see “Viewing Remote SeRF Optical Ports” on page 248.
Link the Host and Remote DARTs. 6.9 LINK THE HOST AND REMOTE DARTS. If you are setting up a multi- host system, go to “(Optional) Configuring Multi-Host Systems for Manual Mode” on page 168. “Linking” establishes an association in software between a particular Host DART and a particular Remote DART, enabling the two DARTs to act as an operational unit in providing one RF band.
Initial Prism System Setup When a Host DART is linked to a Remote DART in a multi-fibers configuration, the EMS uses the first fiber (in numerical order) on which the required number of timeslots is available for the passband being linked. The EMS will not divide up the timeslots between two fibers.
Link the Host and Remote DARTs. Figure 6-2. Alarm Summary of RF Groups View Figure 6-3 provides a close up view of the Slot 2 panel in the Alarm Summary of RF Groups view where: • a: DCS FULLBAND12 indicates that a 12-slot DCS FullBand DART is plugged into band1. • b: An expander for the DCS FullBand DART is plugged into band2 and therefore is represented with a White indicator to indicate that a configurable DART is not present. Figure 6-3.
Initial Prism System Setup 6.9.3 Link a Remote DART to a Host DART This procedure requires that the antenna has been connected and the system is ready to transmit RF. For information on connecting the antenna, see “Antenna Cable Installation” on page 123. 33 3 Verify that the Host DART is configured as described in “Configure the Host DARTs” on page 152.
Link the Host and Remote DARTs. The Configuration Details table has the following columns: • Host DART Id—Slot number of slot occupied by the Host DART card. The Host has eight slots numbered from 1 to 8, read from top to bottom. If the Host DART is a 12-Timeslot DART, then only the first of the two slots it occupies will be shown (for example, if the Host 12-Timeslot DART occupies slots 1 and 3, only slot 1 will be shown).
Initial Prism System Setup 37 7 Click Apply. The following example shows the completed link (in this case, Host DART SFP Id 8 has been selected). If multi fibers are connected between the Host and Remote, the system will try the fibers in numerical sequence until a link can be established for the identified passband. If no fiber is available providing the number of TDM timeslots required for the passband, an error message is returned indicating that “DART linking failed due to a problem on the host.
Link the Host and Remote DARTs. 39 9 In the DART Forward Gain list, select the dB (0 to 31), which is the actual gain, not attenuation, that will be applied to the RF forward path signal (where 0 = 0 dB gain, 1 = 1 dB gain, and so forth) The DART Forward Gain is based on the EIRP desired at the antenna. You therefore need to know how much cable, insertion, and any other loss (such as splitters) exist between the Remote and the antenna.
Initial Prism System Setup 40 0 In the DART Forward Delay box, set in microseconds the actual delay that will be applied to the RF forward path signal. The minimum delay required is calculated. The acceptable range of delays is 88us. If you attempt to set the delay to a value outside the allowed range, the DART uses either the minimum or maximum, dependant on whether the DART is exceeding the set delay (too high or low). Be aware of simulcast links.

Initial Prism System Setup FWD/REV path signal and the other DART will be configured Diversity. This selection therefore determines whether the DART card being configured will carry the primary or secondary RF path. For dual DART configurations, such as dual-pcs, smr800/smr900 and dual-aws, both DARTs must have DART Diversity Status set to nonDiversity. The diversity status, fiber, and timeslots of the Host DART must match the Remote DART linked to it.
(Optional) Configuring Multi-Host Systems for Manual Mode • Remotes are set to Cellular A"/A Band which has 8 usec of system delay. The delay ranges will therefore be: – Remote 1 delay (48-136) – Remote 2 delay (88-176) The system calculates these delay values—this is a typical example based on the fiber lengths provided. You select a delay value that’s within the range calculated by the system.

Using the EMS to Manage a Prism System • FPGAMon SWVer—Software Version of the FPGA Monitor process running on the Host or Remote The Host table provides the following information: • Title—Name of the Host in the format of Host: HostName (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) where: – HostName is the default or user-assigned name for the Host – xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the Host IP address • Module Type—Type of module (such as SeRF, DART).
Working with the System Inventory The Remote Inventory tables, of which there can be up to eight, comprise the following information: • Title—Name of the Remote in the format of Remote: RemoteName (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), where – RemoteName is the default or user-assigned name for the Remote – xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the Remote IP address • Module Type—Type of module (such as LNA, SeRF, DART).
Using the EMS to Manage a Prism System 7.4 WORKING WITH PRISM SYSTEM NETWORK INTERFACES You use the EMS to configure the Prism system for one of the two different modes listed below, which affects how you configure the network interface of the Network and Craft ports and how you access the system through the EMS. In each mode, the Host and its subtended Remotes require the same configuration. Both modes require a DHCP server, which assigns an IP address to the Host and its subtended Remotes.
Working with Prism System Network Interfaces Table 7-1. Prism System Modes and IP Addresses Host IP Addresses Remote IP Addresses Mode External Network Craft Port Network Port Craft Port DHCP server assigns IP addresses in the 192.168.0.x range. The Host Network port is a DHCP client and must be connected to a network with a DHCP server to obtain an IP address. Remote Craft port IP address is 192.168.0.1.
Using the EMS to Manage a Prism System 7.4.1 Changing to Built-In Network Mode Only a user logged in under the admin or a Network Manager account can change Prism settings through the EMS. Built-In Network mode allows all Remotes to be assigned an IP address to allow communication without the need for an external DHCP router. You therefore set the Prism system to Built-In Network mode if there is no network to connect to or if the network does not have a DHCP server.
Working with Prism System Network Interfaces 4 In the confirmation dialog, click OK. Your current EMS session will close down as the IP addressing and configuration will have been modified. 5 Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Host Craft port and connect it to the Host Network port.
