Commissioning and Maintenance Figure 2. MetroHopper General Settings page If the transmission unit in use is FXC RRI, define the settings for the Flexbus interface 2 and the connected outdoor unit as described above. If the transmission unit is FC RRI, only one Flexbus is available and you can proceed to step 4 directly.
Configuring identifications and settings This section describes how to view or change outdoor unit related identifications or settings with Nokia BTS Manager or Nokia MetroHub Manager. When you are using Nokia BTS Manager, all Nokia MetroHopper related identifications and settings are accessed through the Transmission menu. In case you are using Nokia MetroHub Manager, these are found under the FXC RRI menu.
Select the required Flexbus interface. In these windows you can enable or disable Flexbus interfaces and set the appropriate capacity. Note that with Nokia MetroHopper the capacity is fixed to 4 x 2 Mbit/s. You can also switch the OU power feed on or off.

Commissioning Nokia MetroHopper Hop end mode One of the terminals forming a hop must be configured as the master and the other as the slave. In order to change the hop end mode, you will need to recommission the hop by using Radio Wizard.
With the Nokia Network Management System (NMS), service measurements can be performed in a centralised manner for the entire network without having to move physically from station to station.
Errored Blocks as specified in G.826 1) G.826 gives two definitions for SES. In Nokia Q1, the definition of SES as “≥30% errored blocks in one-second period" is adopted. To see the signal quality counters, click Transmission / FXC RRI → Statistics on the menu.
Maintaining Nokia MetroHopper Figure 4. Interface loops window Note When a loopback has been set, no other settings will take effect until the equipment is returned to normal state. To force the equipment to normal state, select the Normal radio button and click the Send button.

If the units to be removed or replaced carry important traffic, reroute the traffic before starting the work. The removal or replacement of equipment cuts traffic. To replace or remove the Nokia MetroHopper outdoor unit: Set the OU to Receiving only transmitter mode (see Section ). This ensures that the radio will not transmit accidentally in case it is reinstalled.
Alarm descriptions Appendix A. Alarm descriptions This appendix lists the alarms that a Nokia MetroHopper with FC RRI or FXC RRI network element can give. Each table also gives a short description of the fault generating the alarm and provides some guidelines on how to remedy the fault.
-Use platform interface loop to equipment to check that platform interface locks to its own TX signal. If not, replace the unit. -Use Flexbus loop to equipment and check that platform interface locks to its own signal. If not, replace the unit.

Installing Nokia MetroHopper outdoor unit Installing Nokia MetroHopper outdoor unit This chapter gives instructions for installing and uninstalling the Nokia MetroHopper outdoor unit. Mounting the alignment bracket on a pole To install the alignment bracket on a pole: Place the bracket and the clamp around the pole. The diameter of the pole may vary from 30 to 120 mm.
Installing Nokia MetroHopper outdoor unit Tighten the bolts Figure 2. Installing the alignment bracket on a wall Attaching the optical alignment tool Note The use of the optical alignment tool is strongly recommended in order to attain the required level of accuracy.
Installing Nokia MetroHopper outdoor unit Loosen the locking screws Turn the bracket towards far end Optical alignment tool Figure 3. Coarse alignment (pre-alignment) Fine alignment To fine-align: Loosen the locking nuts with 10 mm spanner. View the far end with the optical alignment tool. Align the bracket towards the far end by adjusting the fine alignment bars shown in Figure 4.
Installing Nokia MetroHopper outdoor unit Finishing alignment To finish the alignment: Tighten the locking screws with a torque wrench to 17 − 20Nm. Tighten first the joint that is closer to the installation pole. Check the alignment with the optical alignment tool.
Attaching the radio section Alignment with AGC voltage In order to obtain maximum alignment accuracy, Nokia MetroHopper can be fine aligned also by measuring the AGC (Automatic Gain Control) voltage which is inversely proportional to the input level of the signal received from the radio hop.
Installing Nokia MetroHopper outdoor unit Adjust the fine alignment bars with a spanner as described in Section 4.5 until you find the minimum AGC voltage value. See Table 1 for approximate voltage values at different Rx input levels. Lock the fine alignment bars.
