Page 19: Operation
Until all radios in the transmission link are interconnected, turned on, and operating properly, alarm conditions may exist. Perform the following procedure to turn on the MDR-8000 series radios: On all power supply modules, set power ON/OFF switches to ON.
Page 20: User System Interface (Usi) Provisioning Function/Operation
Verify that power distribution unit rack alarm indicator (if any) is not lighted. If indicator is lighted, troubleshoot as described in the Maintenance section. Verify that no red indicators are lighted. If a red indicator is lit, troubleshoot as described in the Maintenance section. Perform lamp test by momentarily holding OVRD-ACO/LT switch on control- ler to ACO/LT.

Page 25: Mcs-11 Operation
An Operational Support System (OSS) provides a means to remotely monitor and control an MDR-8000 radio via an MCS-11 Monitor and Control System polling master. A Remote Station Summary (RSS), a Remote Detail Scanner (RDS), a Remote Analog Scanner (RAS), and a Remote Control Decoder (RCD) are available at the polling master for each radio network element.
Page 26: Lamp Tests
Lamp Tests 2.4.5 Perform lamp tests by pressing and holding ACO/LT OVRD switch on controller front panel in ACO/LT position. All indicators on controller and indicators on all equipped modules should light. Release ACO/LT OVRD switch. Alarm Checks 2.4.6 The USI Alarm and Status screens provide alarms and status for the radio. Refer to description of alarms and status in the maintenance section.
Page 27: Turn-Off Procedure
It is recom- mended that turn-off be performed only in an emergency. EMERGENCY OPERATION If an emergency occurs, such as a short circuit or a ﬁre, turn off all MDR-8000 Microwave Digital Radio power supplies as quickly as possible. MODEM OPERATION Refer to the attached CD for modem connection and setup procedures.

Page 45: Interconnect
Refer to CD for similar installation information for the Compact radios. POWER CABLE CONNECTION See Figure 3 - 1 for power cable assembly installation procedures. The MDR-8000 is inter- nally wired to accept 20.5 to 60 V dc input power with positive or negative ground. To pro- tect maintenance personnel from lightning strikes, the ground system must be integrated by bonding station ground and dc battery return together.
Page 46 WARNING Possibility of Damage to Equipment Do not apply battery power until it is determined that A and B battery cables with isolated returns and power cables are wired correctly. With power applied, reverse polarity on wir- ing (+batt wired to -batt pin on connector) can cause power supply fuse to blow.

MCS-11 Repeater-to-Spur Daisy Chain Connection (J308/J309) 3.18.2 Note MCS-11 must be provisioned to enable MCS-11 J310 Master/Junction XMT, RCV, and OUTPUT clocks. If an external modem is being used, provision MCS-11 for MCS-11 J310 Modem . This selection disables XMT, RCV,OUTPUT clocks and all MCS-11 clocks must now be pro- vided by the external modem.

RECOMMENDED PERIODIC CHECKS Perform XMTR local oscillator frequency veriﬁcation (Para. 5.18) and XMTR output check (Para. 5.19) 1 year after initial setting and at 5-year intervals thereafter to correct possible drift caused by aging. RADIO TROUBLESHOOTING The digital radio system is equipped with alarm circuitry and automatic switching (in hot- standby, frequency diversity, and space diversity conﬁgurations) to provide protection against loss of trafﬁc.
Page 181: Troubleshooting Performance Screen Errors
Troubleshooting Performance Screen Errors 5.9.3 Path and intermod problems can occur that cause errors to be indicated on the Perfor- mance monitor screens that are not severe enough to generate an alarm on the USI Alarm and Status screen. Errors of this type fall into two categories: burst and dribbling errors. The performance screens can be a useful tool in troubleshooting a radio with and without alarms being indicated on the Status Alarm screen.

Eth Equipment Loopback 6.11.3.3 Eth equipment Loopback is a farend loopback function that can be used to test the over-the-hop performance of radios. Eth Equipment loopback is enabled by selecting A Eth Equipment under SYSTEM LOOPBACK on the USI Control screen. This function loops the radio RCV (RR) input into the radio XMT output.
