IFU
Mounting in Rack
The IFU can be mounted in ETSI, 19" as well as 23" racks. The only difference between the ETSI, 19" and 23" IFU is the mounting brackets. These brackets are
easily changed (3 screws) to fit the actual equipment rack.
The IFU Mounting Kit contains a Multi bracket, consisting of brackets for IFU mounting in the above mentioned racks. In addition a bracket for mid-mount in 19" racks
is included. Snap-off the required bracket. Remove any remaining connection pins (the pins between the different brackets) using pliers, before the bracket is
monunted to the IFU.
Note! Make sure that the mounting brackets are properly secured to the IFU sidewall before mounting in rack (torque 1.25 Nm).
Three and Four Channel Systems
These systems require 2 IFUs. The IFUs have to communicate with each other and must be interconnected. A Sub-rack that can contain two IFUs is available for this
purpose. Connectors for interconnection are placed on the back plane of the Sub-rack. These connectors correspond with connectors on the IFUs.
Sub Rack
Note! Make sure that the mounting brackets are properly secured to the IFU sidewall before proceeding (torque 1.25 Nm).
Note! The IFU interface connector (located on the rear side of the IFU) is protected with a metal cover. This cover must be removed before the IFU is
inserted in the sub-rack.
1. Mount the Sub-rack in the Main-rack by using two screws in the upper mounting holes.
2. Mount the lower IFU in the Sub-rack by sliding it on the bottom guides and carefully enter the back plane connectors.
Note! Do not use excessive force. Make sure that the connectors enter smoothly.
Fasten the IFU with four screws (torque 10 Nm).
3. Remove the two screws in the upper Sub-rack mounting holes.
4. Mount the upper IFU in the Sub-rack by sliding it on the lid of the lower IFU and carefully enter the back plane connectors.
Note! Do not use excessive force. Make sure that the connectors enter smoothly.
Fasten the IFU with four screws (torque 10 Nm).
Note! It is important that the lower IFU is mounted in the Sub-rack before the upper IFU is mounted.
Connecting (Split mount)
Earthing of IFU
Power Cable
Note! If the IFU is mounted in other racks than described in this document, it is important that the earthing is performed using the same principles as described above.
The IFU-ODU Jumper Cable can be connected directly to the IFU-ODU Cable without the use of a Jumper Bracket.

Note! The installation, maintenance, or removal of antenna systems requires qualified, experienced personnel. This installation instruction has been written for such personnel. Antenna
systems should be inspected once a year by qualified personnel to verify proper installation, maintenance and condition of equipment.
Nera disclaims any liability or responsibility for the result of inproper or unsafe installation practices.
Warning! Use protective wear, when handling O-ring grease and anti-seize paste, to avoid eye and skin contact. Keep away from mouth. If skin has been exposed to O-ring grease or
anti-seize paste; wash thorougly with liberal amounts of liquid soap and rinse with water. Do not use or store open near food or food sources. Empty or partially filled containers should be
disposed of after use, according to Govermental Regulations.
The following procedure describes the principle of mounting the equipment on a pole.
The mounting sequence depends on available lifting equipment and the site architecture. Sometimes it is more convenient to assemble the ODU and antenna on the ground and lift as one unit,
for placement on the antenna tower or platform, but the priciple of assembling will be the same.
Note! To avoid water penetration, the RSSI connector cap (bayonet cap) must always be attached to the RSSI connector when the connector is not used for RSSI measurements.
ODU Overview
See ODU overview and marking.
Polarization
Antennas are delivered from the factory with default vertical polarization.
Change of polarization is easiest to perform before the antenna is mounted to the antenna mount.

Diplexer Replacement
Turning of Diplexer
By turning the Diplexer 180° the receiving and transmitting frequencies are changed from High passband to Low passband or vice versa.
The label on the Diplexer (see below), determins the Sub-band and the High passband/Low passband direction.
On the XCVR, the upper coax connector/waveguide flange (towards the handle) is the transmitter interface.
Example: If "High Passband" points towards the handle, the XMTR is in the high half band.
Note! Disassembly and reassembly of XCVR/Diplexer must be performed indoors in a clean environment with low humidity.
Note! Make sure that the ODU power is shut off. The IFU ODU cable must be disconnected.
Note! If the Diplexer is turned or a Diplexer for a different Sub-band is mounted, the Diplexer settings ("Selected diplexer" and "High or Low diplexer orientation") must be updated in the
Evolution Manager; Configuration/Frequency.

Note! In order to transmit and receive signals, the initial system settings must be performed through the built-in web-server; Evolution Manager.
a) Measure the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) voltage from the transceiver
b) Read the received level on a spectrum analyser
c) Measure the received power with a power meter
Note! To avoid water penetration, the RSSI connector cap (bayonet cap) must be remounted when the adjustments are finished.
Cross Polarization Adjustment
After alignment of the antenna, the antenna feed must be adjusted horizontally and vertically. Loosen the flange which secures the feed to the reflector. Align the feed by using a spirit level.
Secure the flange.
Final Control
When all adjustments are performed, check that the
input level corresponds with the one theoretically
calculated. If the input level is too low, adjust the
antennas once more. Finally, ensure that all bolts and
nuts are properly mounted and secured.

Connect the SU Unit to a PC by means of a TP cable. The cable is connected to ETH1 (Universal IFU)/PORT 1 (PDH IFU) and to the LAN port on the PC. See illustration below.
Note! The SU IP address as well as password, should be changed before the system is released for operation. See separate procedures.
Note! The IP set-up can alternatively be set using Hyperterminal and the SU USB interface. This function is useful if NE IP address is unknown or the IP address is accidentally set
to an address outside the subnet.
Log on
Open an Internet browser (supported browsers are Internet Explorer 6.0+ and Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0+).
Type in the default IP address "10.0.0.10" in the Address Bar.
Note! The equipment may be factory pre-configured. In this case only frequency, power settings on the ODU, Sp Div delay (if required) and Backup have to be attended to.
