Intrductin The ION-U system has embedded intelligence that clearly guides the design, planning, installatin, setup, cmmissining, and ptimizatin f yur DAS with startt-finish simplicity. The System Cnfiguratin Tl r SCT is a key ION-U cmpnent that generates the autmatic dcumentatin required t install, cmmissin, perate, and mnitr an ION-U system based n user input. The utput f the SCT is a cmplete prject package that includes an Equipment List Reprt (bill f materials), a Wrk Order Reprt (ppulating hardware and cabling), detailed Rack Layut and Clr Cded Rack reprts, a Pwer Cnsumptin reprt, a Schematic drawing, and a system cnfiguratin file. The system cnfiguratin file (generated_xml.xml) is then imprted int the ION-U Site Manager sftware. This file prvides all the DAS design infrmatin required by the Site Manager t cmmissin, manage, and mnitr the ION-U system. figure 2-1 SCT input / utput verview Users simply lgin t a server using a standard web brwser and fill in the DAS parameters such as the number f znes and Remte Units, wireless technlgies, and peratr details. The SCT takes that input and builds a cmplete ION-U DAS package based n an extensive built-in set f rules. The Interactive Tl allws yu t edit the system design by mving and/r adding system hardware cmpnents t tailr the design t yur specific site requirements. The utput XML file can then be imprted int the ION-U Site Manager sftware, which will guide the installatin and peratin f the system. Page 14 User s Manual fr ION -U System Cnfiguratin Tl

15 2. ION-U System Cnfiguratin Tl Overview 2.2. Prerequisites The ION-U System Cnfiguratin Tl will create a build f materials based n the users input s a thrugh knwledge f the CmmScpe ION-U system and cmpnents is nt required. Hwever, DAS details such as the number f znes and remte units, frequency bands, technlgies, and pwer allcatin generated by a prgram such as ibwave Design will be needed t prvide the input int the SCT. A cmputer with a netwrk cnnectin and a web brwser are als required ION-U System Overview One f the advantages f the System Cnfiguratin Tl is that it allws an engineer r technician with a gd understanding f DAS systems t build a cmplete ION-U DAS system withut a thrugh knwledge f the CmmScpe ION-U system and cmpnents. Hwever, an verview f the ION-U system is helpful when making Prject Cnfiguratin selectins and fr understanding the reprts generated by the SCT. The fllwing is a brief verview f the ION-U cmpnents. Fr details please see the ION-U Hardware Manual. figure 2-2 ION-U system verview The ION-U is a flexible mdular system that can be tailred t the specific requirements f a DAS.

The Aut calculate functin will calculate the pwer allcatin percentage fr each system based n the fllwing criteria: 1. The SCT lks at each band and determines hw many services are assigned t the band. 2. The SCT divides the number f services fr each peratr per band. S if Operatr A has services fr a band and Operatr B has services fr the band, each peratr will be allcated 50% f the PA s pwer. The SCT will, by default, prvide equal pwer sharing between peratrs. 3. The SCT then divides the allcatin based n the number f services per peratr. S if Operatr A has tw services assigned t the band and Operatr B has ne service assigned t the band, each f Operatr A s services will receive 25% f the pwer allcatin (50% divided by 2 services = 25%) and Operatr B s ne service will receive 50% f the pwer allcatin (50% divided by 1 service = 50%). Hwever, there is a limitatin because the tw paths fr LTE MIMO shuld have the same pwer allcatin percentage assigned. The rder f calculatin is then: 1. Divide pwer equally between the peratrs 2. Divide the allcatin between services taking int cnsideratin that the tw MIMO paths must be equal.

Place checks in the Nde Path-3 and Nde Path-4 checkbxes t enable sectr splitter ptimizatin fr these paths if necessary. In the example belw, path 1 f the sectr will always use a Sectr Cmbiner because the Nde Path 1 checkbx is nt checked, but path 2 will nt use a Sectr Cmbiner when the sectr is assigned t nly ne zne because the Nde Path 2 checkbx is checked. figure Sectr splitter ptins: path example Page 78 User s Manual fr ION -U System Cnfiguratin Tl
