    2. Installation Installation Cabinet The SkyWay-Mobile BTS is typically installed in a standard 19 inch cabinet. The outer dimensions are: Height x Width x Depth – 1550 mm x 600 mm x 722 mm The following is a diagram of the cabinet, as an example. Fig 2-1: SkyWay-Mobile BTS cabinet 2.2 Position and Installation of Cabinet Layout of Cabinet...
  • Page 5 It is recommended to position the BTS cabinet as shown in Figure 2-2 in accordance with the following guidelines. The spacing between the rear side of the cabinet and the wall should be at least 600mm. In the front side of the cabinet, at least 600mm spacing should be reserved as a work area.
  • Page 6 accessories to move the U-shape opening on the corresponding round steel bar of the cabinet support, as show in Figure 2-5. Figure 2-4 Bottom of the cabinet Position the cabinet, make it sit flat by using a level and then tighten the expansion bolts. Check the insulation impedance with a meg-ohmmeter between the cabinet and the floor and make sure that the value is greater than 5MΩ.
  • Page 7 Figure 2-6: Rack-mount BTS Enclosure 2.4 Connection of Ethernet Cable The following diagram (Fig 2-7) shows the connections between the BTS and a network switch. The data interface on the BTS is Ethernet with standard RJ-45 connector, as shown below in Figure 2-7. Figure 2-7 RJ-45 Ethernet Connector Fabricate the Ethernet cable using the RJ-45 connectors shown in Fig 2-7.
  • Page 8 The BTS uses a DC+24V power supply. A +24V power source may be locally available as part of telco closet facility. Solectek supplies either of the following power supply options in case that the user needs to use a separate stand-alone power supply.
  • Page 9 Fig 2-9: An example of a stand alone power supply to be installed in the cabinet In case of an AC installation, first use a standard electrical cord to bring 120/220V AC to the power supply’s AC input, connect the equipment’s DC output to the cabinet’s circuit breaker and then the grounding to the cabinet’s pooling current bar.
  • Page 10 Use flame retardant cables as base station power cables, press them out through Ф6 copper lug, and screw down on the base station power wire posts, as shown in Figure 2- Connect one end of the DC+24V power cable to the air switch at the cabinet’s bottom, the red is connected to the positive pole, and the blue is connected to the negative pole.
  • Page 11 air switch +24V end, if measurement value shows 24（±3） V, connection is correct. And then close designated branch switch. WARNING: Do not bundle power cables with other cables. They must be cabled separately. 2.6 Cabling Requirements in the Equipment Room The following installation requirements must be followed in order to prevent accidents or damages to the equipment.

  • Page 28 Second, there is a “Reset” switch on the front panel. Press this button for several seconds and the base station will reset and enter into the reboot sequence; A hard reboot (disconnect main switch at the back of base station rear panel) is not recommended in all circumstances except for severe equipment malfunction that causes other reset options to be unavailable.
  • Page 29 4. Calibration When BTS is successfully started, some of its initializing data can be configured via EMS client so that BTS is calibrated for normal work. During base station calibration, the inter-antenna phase difference can be measured and the all output power from RFS to antenna can be matched. The calibration should be conducted at least three times to ensure its effectiveness.

  • Page 42: Operating Status

    5. Operating Status Any communication equipments must work within a certain range of temperatures because over-high and over-low temperatures will affect its performance. For SkyWay- Mobile BTS system the working temperature is between 0 and 50 centigrade degree. At the digital panel of the base station there is temperature sensor for real time monitoring of digital chipset board and transmitting detected temperature to EMS network management system.
  • Page 43 Fig 5-2: BTS Status Display Current user number: the amount of CPE currently registered. Satellites visible and satellites track: usually if the number of tracing satellites is greater than 3, synchronization can be conducted. BTS boot source: start data source of current base station. SyncCard temperature: the temperature of frequency synthesizer board in the base station.
