Conventions This section outlines the conventions used in this guide. Measurement Conventions Measurements in this guide are expressed according to the Systeme International d’Unites (SI) standards for metric units and abbreviation. Equivalent Imperial measurements (used in the United States) are provided in parentheses, except when Imperial is the international standard. Bits and Bytes For clarity, bits and bytes are not abbreviated in this document, but their prefixes are. SOMA Networks follows the common practice of using SI prefixes (base 10) with these terms. Thus, 1 kbit/s (kilobit per second) is equivalent to 1000 bits/s; it should not be confused with 1 Kibit/s (kilobinary bit per second) or 1 x 2 10 = 1024 bits/s.

In NPMs that have less than 12 RFSS modules, the empty slots are covered with filler panels. Figure 4.10 shows the location of the RFSS modules and filler panels in an NPM that supports three sectors. Figure 4.10RF Rack Layout 00393 RF Rack 4-Slot RFSS Filler Panel 2-Slot RFSS Filler Panel RFSS Module 00447 Cable Bracket 74Part 003609A revision 01December 16, 2002 Amosphere NPM Installation Procedures (WCS) Attach the Radio Shelves to the Radio Rack Depending on the configuration of your NPM, there may be one, two, or three radio shelves that need to be installed. The radio shelves are installed in the bottom three bays in the radio rack. If your NPM uses fewer than three radio shelves, you need to add dummy shelves to the empty bays to ensure the required airflow to the occupied bays. To attach the radio shelves to the radio rack 1Remove the radio shelf from its protective bag. NOTE: Each shelf weighs approximately 6.3 kg (14 pounds) before it is filled with cards. You can distinguish the radio shelves from the utility shelf by reading the manufacturer’s label on the chassis. 2Slide the radio shelf into the lowest available radio shelf bay in the radio rack. If the bay is too tight to accommodate the radio shelf, loosen the 5/16-inch screws that hold the cable troughs to the rack. This should provide enough space for you to slide in the radio shelf. If any of the cable brackets interfere with the insertion of the radio shelf, remove them. The cable brackets attach to the rack using 5/16-inch screws. 3Puncture a hole in the grounding tape for each radio shelf screw location. 4Secure the radio shelf to the rack using eight 5/16-inch screws. Torque each screw to 50 inch-pounds. 5Reattach any cable brackets you removed. 6Retighten the 5/16-inch screws on any loosened cable troughs. 7Repeat steps 1 to 6 for the remaining radio shelves. WARNING: Your NPM may arrive with the utility and radio shelves already populated with cards. If this is the case, ensure that you are properly grounded before handling the shelves. Failure to do so may damage the cards. December 16, 2002 Part 003609A revision 0175 Chapter 4: Installation Procedures Cover Empty Radio Bays Depending on the configuration of your NPM, there may be empty bays on the radio rack. Your NPM may arrive with the unused radio bays already occupied with dummy shelves. If this is not the case or if the configuration of your NPM has changed, you need to add dummy shelves to any empty bays to ensure the required airflow to the occupied bays. To cover the empty radio bays 1Slide the dummy shelf into the lowest empty radio shelf bay in the radio rack. If the bay is too tight to accommodate the dummy shelf, loosen the 5/16-inch screws that hold the cable troughs to the rack. This should provide enough space for you to slide in the dummy shelf. 2Puncture a hole in the grounding tape for each dummy shelf screw location. 3Secure the dummy shelf to the rack using eight 5/16-inch screws. Torque each screw to 50 inch-pounds. 4Retighten the 5/16-inch screws on any loosened cable troughs. 5Repeat steps 1 to 4 for any remaining empty bays in the radio rack. 76Part 003609A revision 01December 16, 2002 Amosphere NPM Installation Procedures (WCS) Attach the Utility Shelf to the Radio Rack The utility shelf is installed in the top-most bay in the radio rack. To attach the utility shelf to the radio rack 1Remove the utility shelf from its protective bag. You can distinguish the utility shelf from the radio shelves by reading the manufacturer’s label on the inside of the chassis. 2Slide the utility shelf into the top bay in the radio rack. If the bay is too tight to accommodate the utility shelf, loosen the 5/16-inch screws that hold the upper cooling unit and the cable trough to the rack. This should provide enough space for you to slide in the utility shelf. If any of the cable brackets interfere with the insertion of the radio shelf, remove them. The cable brackets attach to the rack using 5/16-inch screws. 3Puncture a hole in the grounding tape for each utility shelf screw location. 4Attach the utility shelf to the rack using eight 5/16-inch screws.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 January 3, 2003 RE: FCC ID: POZNPMWCS003353A Attention: Juan Martinez I have a few comments on this Application. 1. The internal photos in the file Internal RFSS Module Photos.pdf are unreadable. Please provide clear photos. 2. The drawing of the label is not clear and it does not contain the FCC ID number. Please provide a readable label with the correct FCC ID number. 3. The operational description (theory of operation) is typically a short description of how the device works. You have provided 6 files containing many hundreds of pages, much of what is more adequately defined as user manual information. Can you please provide a shorter description of how the main transmitting device operates? This will make the application process much quicker. 4. I did not find any information in the installation guide about rf exposure, safe distances, or FCC regulatory. Please explain. 5. Please explain your radiated emissions limit calculations in the table on page 32. Perhaps I have miscalculated, but I do not get the same numbers. Dennis Ward mailto:[email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued.

RE: FCC ID: POZNPMWCS003353A 1. The internal photos in the file Internal RFSS Module Photos.pdf are unreadable. Please provide clear photos. Photo has been uploaded 2. The drawing of the label is not clear and it does not contain the FCC ID number. Please provide a readable label with the correct FCC ID number. New FCC label has been uploaded with the FCC number included in it. 3. The operational description (theory of operation) is typically a short description of how the device works. You have provided 6 files containing many hundreds of pages, much of what is more adequately defined as user manual information. Can you please provide a shorter description of how the main transmitting device operates? This will make the application process much quicker. I have gather together the information on how the signal is transmitted through the system. If this still does not provide enough information on how the system works, please let us know. 4. I did not find any information in the installation guide about rf exposure, safe distances, or FCC regulatory. Please explain. Since the system is a Base station transmitter, in the past we have not placed any RF exposure statements. If this is still an issue please let us know. FCC regulatory statement has been uploaded separately, but will be included in the installation guide. 5. Please explain your radiated emissions limit calculations in the table on page 32. Perhaps I have miscalculated, but I do not get the same numbers. The table has been corrected to include the correct limit (55 dBuV/m) -40 dBm + 95.3 = 55.3 dBuV/m so you were correct. If you need further information or clarification please do not hesitate to contact us via [email protected]. Regards Juan Martinez
