1 Get Ready Unpacking your boxes The ZinWave 2700 system is a modular system so your delivery may arrive as a collection of boxes. Carefully unpack each box and locate the following items: 2700 Hub (without optical modules fitted) 930x Mains lead D-sub 9 way null modem cable.
Install the ZinConfig software. Follow these steps. 1 Insert the ZinWave CD. This CD contains the required configuration software. 2 Your system may have autostart or go to the Start button, click Run and type D:\setup (where D is your CD drive). The installation dialog box appears (see below).
Verifying your software installation To launch ZinConfig double click on the desk top icon or click Start >Programs>ZinConfig. Figure 4 below shows the default view with no devices connected. Figure 4 Issue 3 Page 9 of 31 15/11/2006...
3 Installing the Hardware Hub Installation Mount the Hub onto the rack in the assigned equipment cabinet using the four screws supplied. (Figure 6) Firmly hand-tightening the screw is adequate. If the Hub is be shelf mounted ensure that the rubber feet supplied are in place to prevent blocking the ventilation holes on the underside.
4 Set Up Your System Overview This chapter explains how to connect and set up the hardware that forms your 2700 system. The ZinWave 2700 DAS is a simple 2-stage DAS, utilising either multimode optical fibre (MMF) or Singlemode optical fibre (SMF) to connect the two system units together.
How to connect the Hub Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (O) position before you connect the AC power cord to the Hub. (Figure 9) Plug the power cord into an outlet providing AC Power (100-250VAC, 50-60Hz) Figure 9 Connect the PC RS232 port or external serial adaptor to the Hub Serial port using the D-sub 9 way null modem cable.
How to connect the Antenna Unit (AU) Connect the antennas, using the coax cables, to the corresponding ports on the AU. Figure 12 CAUTION When connecting to the SMA connectors on the Antenna Unit, DO NOT over-tighten the connectors. Use a dedicated torque wrench pre-set to 0.8 to 1.1 Nm. If a torque wrench is not available, firmly hand-tightening the connector is adequate.
Installed Fibre and the SFP on the AU. (Figure 12)The optical connectors are keyed and care must be taken when inserting them. Figure 17 Figure 18 NOTE Using patch cords other than those specified by ZinWave can affect the overall performance of the system. Issue 3 Page 14 of 31 15/11/2006...

5 Use Your System Overview This chapter tells you how to start configuring and using your system. Prepare your PC Turn on your PC and set the Network connection TCP/IP properties to: static ip address and enter the corresponding subnet mask and default gateway. Turning the power on Power up the Hub by moving the power switch from position O to position I.
Command Line Interface (CLI) This interface is in the form of an RS232 interface. This uses the following settings: 57600 Baud, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity and no flow control. This interface uses keywords in a fairly natural way to enter data. The interface is driven by commands entered and edited on a single line, each command consisting of a command mnemonic followed by a number of command parameters.
Starting the software To launch ZinConfig double click on the desk top icon or click Start >Programs>ZinConfig. Identifying Hubs Enter the start and end IP address range of the attached Hubs and click on the “Find Hubs” button. All attached Hubs should now be displayed showing their IP address and description.
Configuring devices The uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) attenuation for the Hub and AU can be selected using the drop down lists. The AU Uplink AGC (ULAGC) and the Downlink AGC (DLAGC) are enabled by ticking the respective boxes. Click on the “Send Changes” button to implement the changes.
Alarms A red SFP indicates that an alarm is present. The nature of the fault can be investigated by right clicking on the red SFP and selecting Alarms from the pop-up list. (Figure 24) Figure 24 A box will appear displaying the cause of the alarm. (Figure 25) Figure 25 Issue 3 Page 20 of 31...
