3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 0417/302 30 2 Equipment overview 2.1 Overview of the A7390 system The Alcatel 7390 is a multi-service broadband wireless local loop system designed to provide telecom services to small and medium-sized enterprises. Broad band WLL (Wireless Local Loop) system, Alcatel 7390 allows operators to offer rapid provision - to a large number of client sites - of a comprehensive range of telephone and data transmission services. For cellular phone network operators, Alcatel 7390 offers the possibility of linking base stations to base station controllers. This makes Alcatel 7390 an economical transmission solution, for the implementation or extension of high traffic density areas coverage. For mixed network operators (fixed and mobile), Alcatel 7390 enables to connect, with the same system, fixed professional end user as well as base stations of cellular telephony.

To avoid interference with the building the antenna should not be too low: vertical clearance must be a view angle of at least ± 20° from the antenna axis. –For an installation involving initially less than 4 RBSs, select the location of the first RBSs leaving space for other RBSs that may be added later in the event of extension to the installation. –Several configurations are possible depending on the site and the number of radios; the installa- tion should be the best compromise possible between: number of masts/radio performance. If the different configurations possible - in the case of four radios to be installed on a building - are con- sidered, the configuration giving the best compromise corresponds to figure 16, where 2 masts have been installed with 2 RBSs per mast. –However, it is allowable to install up to 4 RBS, equipped with the standard 90°/15 dBi antenna, on the same mast (90° angle between each sector, see Figure 19 – Example of multi-RBS configu- ration: 4 RBS on the same mast (not advisable)). This configuration can’t be upgraded to the 1+1 configuration. We strongly recommend to use 2 different tubes to allow 1+1 extension. –In the case of use of several RBSs equipped with standard antennas on the same mast, the ins- tallation restrictions are as follows: •the lowest radio must avoid the highest point of the building (obey the 20° minimum clearance angle specified above), •the radios must be stacked at the same distance from each other, the minimum distance between two consecutive antenna axes being 0.5 m (see Figure 16 – Clearances for adjacent sectors).

3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 0451/302 76 3.3.4Installation of the RBS antenna on the pole mounting Considerations –The antenna must be installed before the RBS unit. –The form of the sectored antennas may vary. Always refer to the "TOP" marking on the antenna when installing on the pole mounting. Storage (Figure 27 – Installing the RBS unit antenna) 1. Position the RBS antenna against the pole mounting support (ref. 2), and install it at the opposite side of the RBS unit. 2. Secure the RBS antenna using seven M6 x 25 screws (ref. 3) and onduflex washers. Figure 26 – Antenna nose WHATEVER THE TYPE OF ANTENNA, WHETHER FOR VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL POLARIZATION, ALWAYS POSITION THE ANTENNA WITH THE "TOP" MARKING UPPERMOST. THE ORIENTATION OF THE ACCESS GUIDE DOES NOT DEFINE THE POLARIZATION. TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE O-RING SEAL ON THE NOSE OF THE ANTENNA CONNECTION: SEE Figure 26 – Antenna nose. IF THE RBSs ARE NOT TO BE MOUNTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE MOUNTING OF THE ANTENNA, PROTECT THE CONNECTION NOSE (FROM WATER, DIRT AND IMPACT).

Remove the two transparent plastic protective caps : that of the antenna and that of the RBS unit. Figure 28 – RBS and antenna nose 2. Take the transceiver by the handle and place the two bosses in the "nose" of the unit against the two IMPORTANT: THE RADIO UNIT ASSEMBLY MUST ALWAYS BE MANIPULATED BY ITS HANDLE ONLY. IMPORTANT: REMOVE THE CAP WITH CARE, TAKING CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE SEAL WINDOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GUIDE. IMPORTANT: THE O-RING SEAL (SEE Figure 26 – Antenna nose) SHOULD BE COATED BEFORE SETTING (SILICON GREASE PROVIDED WITH THE ANTENNA).

Note:the RBS-DBS link cable (N point) should be towards the base of the transceiver. Note:the sectored antenna must be placed with the TOP marking uppermost, the antenna "nose" slots coinciding with those of the RBS. The waveguide needs to be positioned so that it is aligned with the antenna’s rectangular orifice. 3. While holding the radio unit, begin by locking (See Figure 29 – Locking the Radio unit) the two side snap-locks on the support, then that at the bottom, followed by that at the top. Figure 29 – Locking the Radio unit REMINDER: The RBS/antenna assembly requires no additional seal on the SHF flanges; the two ends are smooth. Sealing is provided by the O-ring seal around the male "noses" (see Figure 26 – Antenna nose). NEVER USE THE EXTERNAL KAYWAYS TO LOCK THE RADIO UNIT.

Tilt UP:the antenna points upwards. Tilt 0:the antenna is horizontal. Tilt DOWN:the antenna points downwards. 3.3.6.3 Coarse azimutal alignment of the antenna The azimutal coarse alignment has to be carried out when installing the pole mounting. Figure 30 – Azimutal alignement of antenna REMINDER: THE RADIO UNIT/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY MUST ALWAYS BE MANIPULATED BY THE RADIO UNIT’S HANDLE ONLY. CAUTION: THE BRACKET NUTS MUST BE FASTENED TO TORQUE OF 3 mdaN, ± 10%. THE TUBE AND THE BRACKETS MUST BE CLEAN AND WITHOUT GREASE, EXCEPT ON THE THREADS. ƒ ƒ    3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 0455/302 76 3.3.6.4 Coarse azimutal alignment of the antenna The elevation alignment is performed only with the elevation turnbuckles. If the elevation angle is higher that (+ 5°) or lower than (- 5°), it is necessary to: –remove completely one of the 2 screws fixing the antenna support on the azimut support and, –insert it in the third hole accessible as shown in the Figure 31 – Elevation coarse alignement of antenna. Figure 31 – Elevation coarse alignement of antenna CAUTION: IN ALL CASES, THE SUPPORT MUST BE FIXED WITH 3 SCREWS, 2 PUT IN THE WINDOW AND 1 CORRESPONDING TO ITS AXIS OF ROTATION. ALL SCREWS MUST BE TIGHTENED AND SECURED ONLY AFTER THE END OF THE ALIGNMENT OF ANTENNA. CAUTION: TAKE CARE TO PUT THE 2 SCREWS IN THE WINDOW WITH THE FLAT WASHERS POSITIONED AS SHOWN IS THE FIGURE BELOW. Put the screws in the holes. Put the screws holes i.e. the the window, in the 2 and the visible hole. through external two external middle α = 25° α = 25° If: -5° < α < 5° If: α > 5° or: α < - 5°

Horizontal position : using a control system (graduated level or inclinometer, Figure 33 – Checking antenna positioning) positioned on the straight part of the antenna, ensure that it is perfectly horizontal (tilt 0°). 2. Coarse alignement around the pipe : make a bearing alignment in the direction intended by the radio planners (compass, "TopoChaix", etc.) see Figure 30 – Azimutal alignement of antenn a. 3. Fine alignement (see Figure 32 – Pole mounting 9900UXI102): using the 8 mm Allen key. Slightly loosen the 3 screws ref. 1 and the 4 screws ref. 2, just enough to allow movements of the different parts of the pole mounting and to ensure the precision of the fine alignement. Then, fine tune the elevation and azimuthal settings with the 2 turnbuckles ref. 3 & 4 and the 16 mm flat wrench. 4. End of alignement : tighten the 3 screws ref. 1 and the 4 screws ref. 2, to lock the assembly in position, with a torque 3 mdaN ± 10%. 3.3.6.6 Checking the alignement of antenna Check the bearing and elevation of the antenna once the assembly has been firmly secured. If a shift is noted, repeat the adjustement(s) in question. Refer to the documentation "Installation and Pointing Procedure for an RBS with a Built-in 15 dBi Sectoral Antenna" - Ref. 3CC12087Axxx . Note:Checking must be done with…
