This quick card describes how to connect to a CPRI Remote Radio Unit (RRU) and configure a VIAVI T-
BERD 5800v2 for basic CPRI Testing, without BBU Emulation (C5RRHA) or RF over CPRI (C5RFOCPRI)
options.
Equipment Requirements:
• RRU with power
• T-BERD/MTS-5800v2 equipped with:
o BERT software release V27.0 or greater
o CPRI test options:
▪ C512GCPRI for CPRI Rate 2 (1228.8M)
▪ C524GCPRI for CPRI Rate 3 (2457.6M)
▪ C549GCPRI for CPRI Rate 5 (4915.2M)
▪ C598GCPRI for CPRI Rate 7 (9830.4M)
• SFP or SFP+ optical transceiver that supports
the CPRI rate for the interface under test
• Single mode jumper cable to connect the
T-BERD/MTS to the interface under test
• Fiber optic inspection microscope
(VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe)
• Fiber optic cleaning supplies
Information Requirements:
•
CPRI Line Rate of the RRU
Fiber Inspection Guidelines:
• Use the VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe
microscope to inspect both sides of every fiber
optic connection being (bulkhead connectors,
patch cords, etc.)
• Focus the fiber on the screen. If dirty, clean
the connector.
• If it appears clean, run inspection test.
• If it fails, clean the fiber and re-run inspection test.
• Repeat until it passes.
