Page 21: Purpose And Function
Quick Start Purpose and Function Purpose and Function The S9165A Transceiver Control Unit acts as an RF interface between an IF Base Unit (IBU) and 1 to 8 remote radio heads (RRHs). Figure 2-1 S9165A as an RF interface (example with 8 channels) - Page 22 Purpose and Function The S9165A routes Tx and Rx signals between the IBU and the RRH, and controls the RRH (by way of a USB connection). One S9165A can support 1 to 8 channels, with each channel driving one RRH.

IBU, and six to the RRH (by way of the RF cable bundle). The USB connection between the S9165A and the RRH is not "plug-and-play". It should be connected before the S9165A is powered up. If it is disconnected during use, the S9165A will have to be rebooted after the connection is re-established. -
Page 24: Multiple-Channel Connections
Figure 2-4 S9165A connections for multiple channels The USB connection between the S9165A and the RRH is not "plug-and-play". It should be connected before the S9165A is powered up. If it is disconnected during use, the S9165A will have to be rebooted after the connection is re-established. -
Page 25: Turn-On Procedure
Turn-on Procedure Turn-on Procedure The S9165A is usually controlled by the connected IBU, rather than directly by the user. However, it does have user-interface features which can be accessed by connecting a monitor to the front-panel display port (item 1 in the illustration below), and also connecting a keyboard and mouse to the front-panel USB ports (items 2 or 3 in the illustration below). -

The bottom part of the window also shows constantly-updated temperature data for the RRHs and the "LO" modules behind the front panel of the S9165A (see item 2 in the illustration below). If you have made changes using the Configuration Tool, and want them to take effect, click Restart Services (see item 3 in the illustraton below). - Page 28 Quick Start Turn-on Procedure Hardware identification Channel numbers represent the RF ports on the front panel of the S9165A, in scending in numerical order from left to right. Slot numbers represent the physical position of channel modules within the S9165A chassis (this positioning is not visible from the exterior).

Page 40: Location And Mounting
Connection Procedures Location and Mounting Location and Mounting If possible, suspend the RRH above the DUT, so that heat given off by it will rise away from the DUT. Leave a minimum clearance of 2.5 inches (7 cm) around the RRH. Ensure that there is enough room to attach all necessary cables between the transceiver and other devices. -
Page 41: Connecting To The Rrh
One end of the cable bundle connects to the S1965A front panel, and the other end connects to the RRH. A quick way to tell them apart is to compare the cable endings with an orange collar: it is labeled "4.8 GHz Out" on the S9165A end, and "Ref In" on the RRH end. -
Page 42: Making Connections In Tight Spaces
Connection Procedures Connecting to the RRH Making connections in tight spaces When attaching cables to threaded connectors, use a torque wrench (90 N-cm, 8 in-lb). Because the ports on an RRH are closely spaced, it is not always easy to tighten connections properly. -

Connecting to the IBU Connecting to the IBU The IBU is typically the Keysight F8820A/F8820B PROPSIM Radio Channel Emulator FS16, which is available in two versions; because the connections are slightly different for these models, they are described separately in the following pages. -
Page 46: Model F8820A
Cable connections to the IBU (Model# F8820A) The USB connection used here is not "plug-and-play". It should be connected before the S9165A is powered up. If it is disconnected during use, the IBU and the S9165A will have to be rebooted after the connection is re-established. -
Page 47: Model F8820B
— Because this IBU model has two LAN ports, it is usually not necessary to use a USB/LAN adpater to connect the S9165A to the IBU. Figure 4-11 Cable connections to the IBU (Model# F8820B) - Page 48 Connection Procedures Connecting to the IBU Getting Started Guide...
