Grounding and Bonding This section provides grounding requirements for the ULL-3000. The ULL-3000 bonding conductor shall be a minimum #8 AWG. The grounding and bonding system is a fundamental part of the protection scheme for a radio site and radio equipment. However, other elements, not covered in this section, must be considered including:

Electrical protection of the ac service Electrical protection of all other copper and fiber optic cables (with metallic sheaths) entering the structure by either aerial or underground means The intent of a grounding and bonding system for a radio site and its equipment is to establish low impedance paths to earth and low impedance bonds between nearby metallic objects. This reduces the voltage differential between objects and the earth, and between nearby objects within a structure during a lightning strike. During a lightning strike, extreme voltage differential may develop between points on a conductor. Inductive reactance is the major component of the lightning current path impedance. An increase in the size of a conductor reduces its dc resistance but does not significantly reduce the voltage differential between points along this path. Reducing a path's dc resistance by using conductors larger than #2 AWG results in little reduction in impedance. A #2 AWG conductor carries substantial current without thermal damage, and it is resistant to mechanical damage. Voltage differential can be minimized by ensuring that the path is of lowest practical impedance and/or by providing parallel paths of minimum impedance. A straight conductor of shortest possible length is the path of lowest impedance. Safety Precautions 15 Figure 2-4 Bond to Tower Leg Pole-Mounted Antennas A pole-mounted antenna shall be equipped with a minimum of one down conductor, which may serve more than one antenna or pole-mounted radio equipment units. Protective devices Protective devices are required for the ULL-3000. See the Lightning protection section. Every protective device must be bonded. Conductors Except where expressly stated, grounding and bonding conductors may be either stranded or solid copper. Connectors All terminals should be 2-hole circumferential crimp type. 16 Campbell, CA T 408-558-3300 F 408-558-3301 2012, AOptix Technologies, Inc.. www.aoptix.com. 3 System Overview This System Overview chapter provides detailed information about the implemented ULL-3000 hardware and software components and contains the following sections:

ULL-3000 mounting and cabling Coarse alignment (+/- 3 deg), visual only, with the system off Perform the installation under good visibility (No Rain and no Fog), and moderate wind conditions. Fine alignment (<+/-0.5 deg), with system feed-back through the installer laptop GUI. Mounting Note: The ULL-3000 system can compensate for tower twist and sway of +/- 3deg (at very low frequency), and +/- 0.75 deg. up to 3Hz. The +/- 3 deg. range is relative to the tower position when the system was installed, assuming the system nominal position is within +/- 0.5 degree of the tower nominal position. During the installation, if the tower is not in its nominal/average position (due to sun loading, or ice/snow build up for example), this reduces the ULL-3000 range of tower twist and sway compensation. 1. Mount the 4 1/2 pole to the Tower. See Figure 6-1. The mounting is typically performed using catalog parts from the tower manufacturers recommended vendor. 32 Campbell, CA T 408-558-3300 F 408-558-3301 2012, AOptix Technologies, Inc.. www.aoptix.com.

Figure 6-23 Sighting Apparatus Note: A spotting Scope is optional. See Figure 6-24. Installation Procedure 55 Figure 6-24 Spotting Scope 2. Adjust the ULL-3000 by manually adjusting alignment screws. Do not lock the alignment screws yet. Using only the indication provided by the sighting apparatus or spotting scope and possibly an aid from a signaling mirror from the opposite end, perform the coarse alignment. Note: Required coarse alignment accuracy is +/-3 deg, which is very easily achieved. 56 Campbell, CA T 408-558-3300 F 408-558-3301 2012, AOptix Technologies, Inc.. www.aoptix.com. Fine alignment After the initial coarse alignment with the sighting apparatus or the spotting scope the +/-3 deg pointing accuracy is sufficient to ensure the nodes can acquire each other. On both ends of the link, the RF and Laser components move towards the peak of their signal center lobe. As they move, the installation software provides the installers a GUI display on the laptop, using a bubble moving over cross hairs to indicate directional position needed to adjust the node alignment screws. See Figure Fine alignment is the process of aligning the transmitting node end with the receiving node end using automated Pointing, Acquisition and Tracking (PAT) functionality and an installation application. The purpose of the installation application is to assist the operator in performing the fine alignment by providing visual feed-back via the GUI. The installer is using a two axis adjustment to perform the fine alignment. The installation application resides in the ULL-3000, and the GUI application is automatically loaded into the GUI device when it is connected to the ULL-3000. The interface between these devices and the ULL-3000 is an Ethernet cable, plugged into the management port. Figure system GUI, as displayed on the laptop. The installation routine guides the installer to align 6-25 shows the the system with 6-25. the required accuracy of +/- 0.5 deg Note: Every time the system is powered on, a Power On Self Test (POST) is automatically run and the result (Pass/Fail) is displayed on the installation GUI. Power ON the system before hoisting it up to the tower installation point, to verify the system is properly functioning after shipping. The POST operation may be manually executed at any time to verify system functionality. Installation Procedure 57 Figure 6-25 System GUI Two installation teams two installation teams, each team installing one link end There are two scenarios for performing the fine alignment procedure:

Single installation team one team installing both link ends Two installation teams In the two team installation there is no need to travel back and forth between the nodes. In the two team installation the both nodes are mounted, coarse aligned, powered up and begin searching for the other node at about the same time. With two teams the fine alignment procedure can immediately begin with personnel at each end to lock the ULL-3000 position adjustment screws, without traveling between the nodes. 1. Connect a Laptop to the ULL-3000 Ethernet management port SFP at both link ends. 2. Turn the system Power ON at each link end. (on the ground) 3.

Packet Error rate Throughput Link verification The link verification process is performed by the installer using their own network testing equipment, in order to measure the link performance characteristics, such as:

Bit Error Rate Multi-hop network configuration Multi-hop configuration is the process of setting the functional operation of each network node. The configuration process requires the link being configured to have completed the installation process which includes coarse and fine alignment. Note: The configuration process can start after the fine alignment and link verification processes are completed. The configuration process consists of the following tasks, which are performed on each link before moving on to the next link within the network:

Configuration (setting node type, IP address, etc.) Connecting repeater cables (between repeater nodes) Note: By default all nodes are shipped as End Nodes. First hop configuration 1. Using the laptop configure the link Head end node and assign its IP address. 62 Campbell, CA T 408-558-3300 F 408-558-3301 2012, AOptix Technologies, Inc.. www.aoptix.com. 2. Using the laptop configure the link Repeater node and assign its IP address. 3. Verify the customer network management system can communicate with both the Head End and the Repeater nodes. 4. This completes the first link hop configuration. Second hop configuration 1. Using the laptop configure the link Repeater node and assign its IP address. 2. Using the laptop configure the link Repeater/Back End node and assign its IP address. Note: If the link only has two hops, the node in Step 2. of the Second hop configuration procedure is setup as a Back End node. If there are additional link hops, it is configured as a Repeater node. The last node in the link network is configured as a Back End node. Network management verification 1. Verify the customer network management system can communicate with both the Back End and the Repeater nodes. 2. Disconnect the laptop from the repeater node. 3. Connect the two Repeater nodes using two fiber cables and one management port cable. 4. Verify the customer network management system can communicate with both the Head End and all the other multi-hop link nodes. 5. This completes the second link hop configuration. Time and Date Setting The time and date is set by the system installer on the Head Node. The Head node propagates the time and date to the other network nodes.
