All rights reserved. vi Safety and Regulatory Information Safety Information The following safety warnings and cautions are listed to prevent damage to equipment or property and prevent any risk of personal injury. RF Exposure Installation Warning: This equipment complies with European, FCC and Canadian radiation exposure limits set forth for an occupational/ controlled environment. The Remote Unit should be operated with a minimum distance of 20cm (8 in) between antenna and your body Caution: Incorrect installation, operation, and use of this equipment may cause failure to product and could cause accidents which may harm personnel. Caution: Optical Module must ONLY be installed on the front panel of a Primary Hub or the unit will not function as expected. Warning: The Remote Unit should be installed in Restricted Access Locations only where the maximum ambient operating temperature is 50degC. If the Remote Unit is installed in an Operator Access Area, then the maximum ambient operating temperature must be de-rated to 45degC. Warning: This is NOT a CONSUMER device. It is designed for installation by an installer approved by an ISED licensee (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada). You MUST have an ISED LICENCE or the express consent of an ISED licensee to operate this device. Signal and Input Power Warning: If the service module is connected directly to the output of a BTS or any RF input source, maximum power delivered to a service module must not exceed 15dBm
(damage level is 22dBm). Use additional equipment to attenuate the power. Caution: The input power to the Zinwave Remote Unit should not exceed -10dBm. Power levels greater than +10dBm will damage the unit Caution: The total broadband composite output power of the 305-0007 Remote Unit is limited to +18 dBm in Europe and +20 dBm in the USA and Canada. The maximum allowed composite EIRP in the USA & Canada is +28 dBm which corresponds to an antenna gain of 8 dBi except for the following bands where restrictions apply:
Maximum radiated power in the 653 to 663 MHz band is +13dBm (20mW) EIRP Maximum antenna port power in the 2345 2360 MHz band is 16 dBm Contact Zinwave for the maximum output power in other regions. Caution: The total broadband composite output power of the 306-0007 Remote Unit is limited to +22 dBm in Europe. Contact Zinwave for the maximum output power in other regions. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. vii Fiber Considerations Caution: Alarm Relays on the Hubs and Remote Unit are intended for low voltage/current signaling only. Maximum operating voltage 50V, maximum operating current 1A. CAUTION :
DOUBLE POLE/NEUTRAL FUSING The Power Supply Module in the Secondary Hub 305-0004 and 306-0004 has multiple sources and may include a fuse in the Neutral AC connection. After operation of the fuse, parts of the equipment that remain energized might represent a hazard during servicing. Caution: Avoid dust ingress to fiber connectors by mounting the Remote Unit with the fiber connector facing downwards, or by leaving the dust-caps in place until the fiber is connected. Caution: Connector types must match (i.e. SC-APC to SC-APC). Otherwise, there will be an air gap between the connector faces that will create high back reflection and high optical loss. Caution: Zinwave hardware ONLY supports SINGLE Mode Fiber. Caution: Fiber handling procedures should be carefully observed so as not to damage or introduce dirt to fiber interfaces during installation. Caution: Observe safety precautions when working with fiber cables and devices. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. viii Optical Safety Precautions Warning: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Caution: Do not remove the fiber Port dust covers unless the port is in use. Do not stare directly into a fiber Port. Caution: Cover any unconnected fiber ends with an approved cap. Caution: Do not stare with unprotected eyes at any broken ends of the fiber. Caution: Use only approved methods for cleaning optical fiber connectors. Caution: Do not make any unauthorized modifications to this fiber optical system. Caution: No warning signs are required as it is a Class 1 hazard. Caution: Use Class 1 test equipment. Software Installation Caution: When new firmware is being installed it is very important not to break or interrupt the connection between source file and the Hub. Interrupting firmware installation may put the Hub into an irrecoverable state that requires factory reset. Caution: While the system can be configured with poor optical links present, this may affect the system performance and such links should be examined and brought into specification in order to obtain optimum performance.

All rights reserved. xx UNItivity 5000 User Manual 1 System Overview System Overview Zinwaves UNItivity 5000 in-building wireless solution provides cellular and public safety access services to buildings, campuses, and venues, delivering end-to-end all fiber service on a single converged system. Zinwaves unique wideband architecture supports any service mix, protocol, or modulation scheme over a wide frequency range. The 305-XXXX product components cover 150 MHz to 2700 MHz, and the 306-XXXX product components cover 3300 MHz to 4200 MHz. UNItivity 5000 provides RF coverage over large areas and supports a multitude of wireless and IP data services, irrespective of carrier frequency or signal protocol. The components of UNItivity 5000 are:
Primary Hub Service Module - installed in Primary Hubs Optical Module - installed in Primary Hubs Transport Module - installed in Primary Hubs to bring Services over fiber to a downstream Secondary Hub incorporates 48V DC Power Supply Unit (PSU) for Remote Units Primary Hub Remote Unit Configuration Graphical User Interface (GUI) - supplied on Primary Hubs Central 48V DC Power Supply (Optional) used for powering any Remote Units directly connected to Primary Hub The systems network infrastructure uses standard structured cabling, broadband Single-mode optical fiber. 1.1 How Does It Work?
At a high-level, the standard solution provides a complete in-building wireless infrastructure with a few core components. Radio Frequency (RF) source inputs come into the Primary Hubs Service Module directly or indirectly. The Primary Hub converts these RF signal inputs to optical and connects via optical fiber directly to Remote Units or through a Secondary Hub. The Secondary Hub connects up to 8 Remote Units via optical fiber to one optical slot of a Primary Hub. The Remote Units connect to antennas, taking the optical signal back to RF and amplifying it for wider distribution. System Overview Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 1-1 UNItivity 5000 User Manual 1.2 Key Features System Overview The UNItivity 5000 solution provides the following key features:
Wideband 150 2700 MHz and 3300MHz 4200MHz capability Supports single star or double star topologies, supporting up to 64 Remote Units. Single mode Fiber (SMF) from head-end to antenna Supports Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) Modular Primary and dedicated Secondary Hubs, with 48V PSU functionality for powering Remote Units incorporated in Secondary Hub. Support for long fiber distances (typically 2 km per fiber) thanks to accurate measurement of Self-calibrating system - gain levels are adjusted automatically to accommodate different optical loss (5dBo max). cable length and optical losses. Hot-swappable Modules Web-based configuration and management system including SNMP v3 monitoring. Unique service distribution matrix on the Hubs provides flexibility on how the services are routed within a deployment 1.3 Network Topologies UNItivity 5000 supports a number of configuration topologies making it a flexible system that can support small venues to very large facilities and campuses. This, coupled with UNItivity 5000s wideband attributes, enable system growth for both coverage of additional areas or buildings, or for adding support for new frequencies, wireless operators or services. The UNItivity 5000 system can range from a single Primary Hub and Remote Unit (a 1-1 configuration) to a maximum configuration consisting of a Primary Hub, 8 associated Secondary Hubs, and 64 Remote Units (a 1-8-64 configuration). 1.3.1 Single-Star Configuration In its single star fiber-to-antenna topology, UNItivity 5000 supports a Primary Hub with up to 8 Remote Units. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 1-2 UNItivity 5000 User Manual System Overview 1.3.2 Double Star Configuration In its double star configuration, UNItivity 5000 supports a single Primary Hub connected to up to 8 Secondary Hubs each supporting 8 Remote Units, bringing the system total to up to 64 Remote Units. 1.3.3 Mixed Topology Configuration The UNItivity 5000 system can also support a mixed topology, such that some of the Remotes can be directly connected to the Primary Hub (single star configuration) while also supporting other Remotes connected via Secondary Hubs (double star configuration). A typical mixed topology use case has a location needing coverage that is in close proximity to the Primary Hub, while also needing to support longer fiber runs or other buildings from that same Primary Hub such that it would be necessary to deploy a Secondary Hub. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 1-3 UNItivity 5000 User Manual 1.3.4 Support for MIMO Services System Overview The next generation of high data-rate services such as LTE provide various multiple-input and multiple-
output (MIMO) options. Where base stations (BTS) are deployed to provide in-building coverage, these options can be used to increase the overall capacity or coverage of the system. Typically, BTS signals are distributed inside buildings via a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) which has multiple antenna locations to provide multiple copies of each signal. In the case of MIMO, each antenna location will require 2 or more independent signals from the same BTS. The standard UNItivity 5000 single star and double star architectures support a traditional single signal (SISO) BTS. See Single Star Configuration and Double Star Configuration . In the case of a single star topology, 8 Remotes would have 16 antennas. For double star at a capacity of 8 Secondary Hubs, each with 8 Remote Units, you could have 64 Remotes Units with a total of 128 antennas at 64 antenna locations. Each location has 1 Rx and 1 Tx antenna. This architecture has to change to support a dual-transceiver MIMO BTS. In a full MIMO double star configuration, there would be 1 Primary Hub and 8 Secondary Hubs. Of these, 4 would be carrying MIMO A and 4 MIMO B. Each Secondary Hub still connects to 8 Remote Units: however, now 32 of those units have MIMO A and the other 32 MIMO B. If the MIMO installation still uses SISO antennas, the number of antennas remain the same at 128, 64 Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 1-4 UNItivity 5000 User Manual System Overview for MIMO A and 64 for MIMO B. This is because each location now has 2 Remote Units with 2 Tx and 2 Rx antennas. The number of antenna locations is now 64. If MIMO antennas (which have 2 RF connections) are used, the number of antennas is 32 for MIMO Tx and 32 for MIMO Rx. The number of antenna locations is now 32. Note: The MIMO routing is done via the Signal Routing Matrix in the Primary Hub. 1.4 Understanding Optional Components You can enrich the standard UNItivity 5000 solution by incorporating optional components. Optional components enhance the system input capability or the operation of a core component. The POI expands system RF input capability while the stand-alone PSU provides a simple to install power capability for Remote Units connected directly to the Primary Hub. 1.4.1 How the PSU Fits in The Central 48V DC Power Supply is a 1U rack mountable unit that can be used to power Remote Units directly connected to the Primary Hub. This 600W unit provides eight 48V outputs on terminals supporting twin core cabling. If it is co-located with the Primary Hub, it can be monitored via a USB port on the Primary Hub. Secondary Hubs incorporate similar Power Supply functionality as standard. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 1-5 UNItivity 5000 User Manual System Overview 1.4.2 How the Active POI Fits in The Active POI provides the interconnection between the RF source (for example, high power sources like BTS or repeaters where significant attenuation is needed) and the Service Module that is installed in the Primary Hub. Its compact design provides multiple passive elements for signal conditioning/
attenuation. The POI integrates directly to the UNItivity 5000 system and includes overload protection, filtering, attenuation, and combining/splitting. Reliability is designed in with a single point of connection to BTS Duplex and a Simplex connection to the Primary Hub. Copyright 2022 Zinwave.

The choice of antenna will depend on the service requirement within the operational bandwidth of the system. Up to 8dBi antenna gain is permitted according to the regulatory approvals for the system. It is important to ensure that any installed antennas meet the Tx/Rx isolation requirements and that they are installed in accordance with all relevant safety and exposure regulations. Typically at least 40dB and ideally 50dB isolation is required between the Tx and Rx antennas to avoid downlink signals interfering with the uplink. 2.6 Fiber Patch Cords Duplex SC-APC/SC-APC type fiber connectors are used on the Optical Module, Secondary Hub and Remote Unit. The system uses a laser in the transmit direction and photodiode in the receive direction. UNItivity 5000 is intended to be deployed with Single-mode fiber infrastructure. Zinwave supplies various fiber patch cords with the correct duplex SC-APC/SC-APC terminations for the Zinwave UNItivity equipment, and other optical connectors as required to match the installed infrastructure. The Duplex SC-APC/SC-APC connectivity is shown below:

The right LED indicates power status. The middle LED indicates communication status between the module and the far end. The left LED indicates the current state of the module. As part of the auto discovery process the Hub communicates with each module in turn, and cycles through the installed modules. During this period, the Primary Hub checks for the presence of any Secondary Hubs and Remote Units. For Optical Modules, if no Remote Units are connected, only the right and middle LEDs are operational. Initially the right LED will be a dull red, indicating that power is connected but the module is disabled. This will change to green when the Hub has detected the presence of the module and initialized it. If the module is disabled (in the Configuration GUI) the right LED will display red. The middle LED shows green if the unit has successfully discovered one or more downstream system elements connected to the Optical Module. Only when a Remote Unit is detected will the third LED be activated. A fully functioning Optical module with operational downstream elements displays three green LEDs. Copyright 2022 Zinwave.

Make sure there is room for antenna connections to exit through the ceiling. Make sure there is adequate clearance around the Remote Unit to allow some convection. The following wall bracket is provided for mounting a Remote Unit:
1. Place the mounting bracket on the wall in the desired location and position (Horizontal or Vertical). 2. Select 4 suitable screw holes for attachment and mark the 4 holes to be used with a pencil. The holes selected should be sufficiently separated. Use one of the hole patterns shown below, or a pattern derived from one of these 2 patterns where each screw may be moved to an adjacent position. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 6-2 UNItivity 5000 User Manual 1) Installing Remote Units 3. Remove the bracket. 4. Drill the 4 screw holes. 5. Attach the bracket to the wall using the a M4 screw driver and the 4x M4 screws. 6. You may need to use additional hardware such as raw plugs, for a secure fit. 7. Ensure the 4 M3 locking bolts are in place on the wall bracket, but not screwed in so far as to protrude into the inner cavity of the wall bracket and prevent the mounting bracket on the Remote Unit from being inserted. 8. Align the plastic mounting bracket attached to the back of the Remote Unit with the wall bracket, and plug in the Remote Unit. The plastic latches should clip in and hold the Remote Unit in place. If the Remote Unit needs to be removed, then hold the Remote Unit on both sides with fingers reaching behind to press the central release buttons on the mounting bracket, allowing the Remote Unit to be unplugged. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 6-3 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Installing Remote Units 9. Once the Remote Unit is plugged in, then tighten the 2 M3 locking bolts on each side to ensure the Remote Unit cannot become detached from the wall mounting. This step is particularly important if the Remote Unit is suspended from the wall bracket and might cause a hazard if it were to become detached. 6.2 Powering Remote Units A Remote Unit receives power from a 48V Central PSU (if connected directly to a Primary Hub), or from the Secondary Hub to which it is connected. 6.2.1 PSU DC Power 6.2.1.1 Rack Mount the PSU The following tools are required for installation (Not provided):

Note: It is recommended to connect fiber prior to powering on the Remote Unit. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 6-4 UNItivity 5000 User Manual DAS Installation Considerations 7 DAS Installation Considerations This chapter describes requirements and considerations to get the best performance from your DAS. 7.1 Antenna Requirements This section describes antennas that can be connected to Remote Units. For physical connection of the antenna to the Remote Units see Connecting Antennas to Remote Units. 7.1.1 Isolation The minimum isolation between Tx and Rx required for correct operation of UNItivity 5000 in both the uplink and downlink service bands is usually 40dB (this requirement should be confirmed for any given installation within the Zinwave Coverage Tool). However, performance (uplink noise and downlink inter-
mode interference) of the system can be improved if greater isolation is achieved. Isolation between the antennas is achieved by separating them at a sufficient distance to achieve at least 40dB over the antenna passband or the entire UNItivity 5000 passband, whichever is narrower. It has been found empirically that omni-directional antennas supporting the Cellular bands from 700MHz and above require a horizontal separation distance of approximately 20 ft (6m). Although this distance provides a rule of thumb for initial planning, the particular antennas in use and the environment in which they are installed will affect the isolation. It is recommended to check and measure the isolation of each antenna pair (see isolation measurement section below) prior to enabling service operation. With directional antennas care should also be taken to ensure the high-gain propagation direction is oriented towards the coverage area and the low-gain (null) propagation direction is oriented towards the second antenna. The effect of this null will be to reduce the distance between the antennas required to achieve the 40dB isolation. 7.1.2 Isolation Measurement Techniques The most accurate way of measuring the antenna isolation, is to disconnect the cables at the Remote Unit antenna ports and connect these directly to either a network analyzer or a spectrum analyzer with a tracking generator. Every antenna in the installation should meet the requirements of the Tx-Rx Isolation section above. The Hub Software also includes an antenna isolation check feature (System Maintenance > System Check), which should be used for quick isolation checks where problems are suspected or may arise. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 7-1 UNItivity 5000 User Manual 7.2 Uplink/Downlink Balance Care should be taken not to separate the two antennas by so much distance that the path difference between Tx and Rx to the mobile affects system performance. Some services are more affected by uplink/downlink path difference than others, especially those using high dynamic range mobile power-
control such as WCDMA. There are two WCDMA system effects to be aware of when testing a separated antenna coverage area:
When the mobile is close to the Tx antenna but some distance from the Rx antenna, the initial call-setup power that the mobile transmits will be lower than expected by the BTS. It is likely that the BTS will fail to receive the initial call-setup attempt, so the mobile will transmit again at a higher power level. The mobile will continue to ramp up its power level until the BTS receives and acknowledges the message. This effect can cause longer initial setup times close to the Tx antenna and in extreme cases may cause the mobile to timeout during call setup. In order to compensate for this effect, the balance of gain between uplink and downlink can be adjusted to increase the uplink gain. This is usually done in the head-end by moving attenuation from the uplink to downlink paths. However, in some case the UL/DL balance setting can also be used within the UNItivity 5000 platform if the uplink gain is not already at maximum. When the mobile is close to the Rx antenna but some distance from the Tx antenna, the initial call-setup power that the mobile transmits will be higher than expected by the BTS. As long as the mobile power does not overload either the Remote Unit or the BTS input then this should not cause a call setup failure. Note that the path difference between Tx and Rx at the edge-of-cell is likely to be much smaller than near the antennas due to the effect of the indoor propagation conditions. Where there are no line-of-
sight differences between Tx and Rx the edge-of-cell path difference will be less than 3dB for most services. 7.3 Connecting Antennas to Remote Units The Remote Unit has separate connectors for transmit and receive antennas. The choice of antenna depends on the RF coverage and planned designs for a building, you may need extension cables depending in where the antennas are placed relative the Remote Unit. To connect antennas to Remote Units:
1. Connect the N-type male connections into N-type female connectors on the top of the Remote 2. Unit. Note the markings on the unit for Rx and Tx. If you have not already done so, feed the RF extension cables through from the Remote Unit to the Antenna. 3. Connect the N-type female connections into N-type male connectors to the RF tails. Pay attention to the mechanical stress placed on the connector if using large inflexible cable. Use short flexible jumpers where appropriate. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 7-2 UNItivity 5000 User Manual 7.4 Connecting the PSU or Secondary Hub Power Port to Remote Units 7.4.1 Power Distribution Requirements Power for Remote Units is generally supplied from a centrally located source either a dedicated PSU or a Secondary Hub - that drives multiple Remote Units. The distance of the Remote from the centralized location depends upon the cable type used. Regardless of the cable used, the maximum loop resistance should generally be kept below 8 ohms to ensure the minimum input voltage requirement of the Remote Unit is not violated. Copper wire containing 2 cores is typically used to carry 48V power to Remote Units. This can either be run in parallel with fiber infrastructure, or as part of a composite cable. With AWG 16, the maximum distance that can be achieved is approximately 300 m (~1000 ft). If greater distances are required, larger gauge cable may be used. The Phoenix Contact connectors used on the Zinwave equipment support wire thickness up to AWG 12. The guidance for the maximum distance that can be achieved for given AWG wire is as follows, when a single Remote Unit is powered with a single conductor pair. If 2 collocated Remote Units are powered with a single conductor pair, below distances are cut in half; likewise, if 4 collocated Remote Units are powered with a single conductor pair, below distances are cut in 4. When 2 Remote Units are powered from a single Secondary Hub power port, a maximum of 4 power ports on that Hub can be used; likewise, in the case of 4 Remote Units, a maximum of 2 power ports on that Hub can be used.

Usually this becomes a consideration in an amplifier system such as an Active DAS. Cellular systems assess noise as part of their operation and its presence is monitored and can cause an alarm condition. Older 2G (GSM) technology usually has an alarm for interference which an excessive noise level will trigger. 3G (UMTS W-CDMA) is a spread spectrum system and the signals also look like noise in the receiver. The incoming noise level rise (wanted signal and /or unwanted noise) is used for access control in a 3G BTS which limits the number of users that can be connected. Due to this noise into the receiver is a very critical issue for 3G and will affect the efficient operation of the BTS. 4G and 5G (OFDMA) is a multiple access system using multiple sub-carriers at low data rates to achieve an overall high data rate. OFDMA is affected by intermodulation and excess system noise both may affect the performance of the system. 7.5.2 Optimising SNR and Noise Level With most active systems a Point of Interconnection (POI) is used to match the BTS power and signals to the input of the DAS. The POI must apply downlink (DL) power attenuation to manage the level into the Primary Hub of the DAS. The POI must also apply a suitable amount of UL attenuation. With 3G, 4G and 5G a lot more attention must be paid to the uplink (UL) signals and noise such that the noise level fed to the base station (BTS) is at or below the level which affects the BTS operation. The Noise contribution of the Zinwave Active DAS is related to the amount of equipment in the system. It is proportional to the additive noise power from each Remote Unit. It can be calculated from:
NF= 14 + 10 x LOG (SQRT(qty of RUs)) + 10 x LOG (SQRT(qty of SHs)) This an empirical formula that gives a best fit to the measured results of the system and was used to generate the data below.

All rights reserved. 7-4 BTSPOIZinwave Active DASDLULUL Noise floor of DAS (measured or calculated)UL Noise floor connected to BTSLoss and attenuation UNItivity 5000 User Manual The desired maximum noise level at the BTS is known from the MNO (3G typically -104 dBm, 4G typically -114 dBm) Therefore, a simple calculation can be made calculate the POI attenuation needed to match the DAS UL noise level to required level at the BTS Noise power (noise floor) = KTB + NF + gain of the DAS - POI attenuation Where K= Boltzmanns constant= 1.380 x 10-23 J/K T = temperature in Kelvin B = bandwidth in Hz POI Attenuation is the total loss in the POI including cables to the BTS and all attenuators and other losses e.g. a WCDMA channel is 3.88 MHz, therefore the thermal noise in the channel is -108.1 dBm 27.5 dB noise from 1-8-64 system, 25 dB system gain
-108.1+27.5+25 = -55.6 dBm 50 dB POI UL attenuation
-55.6 - 50 = -105.6 dBm The uplink gain of the DAS is internally configured to mirror the downlink values, modified by the UL/DL balance setting on the Hub GUI. Under normal circumstances, selecting a lower gain than the maximum of 25dB will simply add more attenuation into the service module. This has no impact on the noise figure, and is equivalent to adding attenuation in the POI. Noise figure is impacted, however, if the RU applies AGC protection due to an excessive interferer. It may be necessary to re-site the Rx antenna if there are persistent high measured background RF levels. The UL noise floor from the Active DAS could also be measured at the POI input using the correct system bandwidth and the UL POI attenuation calculated from that value. Comparing calculated Noise floor against that measured will also confirm that no other issues are causing a higher than expect noise floor output from the DAS Copyright 2022 Zinwave.

The overall gain between a Service Module in the UniTransport Hub and a Remote Unit in the downstream Primary Hub is configured to have the same gain as if the Service Module had been plugged directly into the downstream Primary Hub. The internal setup of the system optimizes the levels to minimize overall distortion and noise, typically to within 1 dB of what would be achieved with the downstream Hub and its components alone. The main contributor to Uplink noise is the number of Remote Units that are being aggregated together. Each one adds some noise, but only one has the signal to be received by the BTS. The values in the Noise Figure table and formula above are valid for up to 64 Remote Units connected indirectly to a UniTransport Hub. If the number of connected RUs were to be doubled from 64 to 128, expect the noise power at the BTS to increase by 3dB. As before, the POI UL attenuation would need to be adjusted to achieve a compliant uplink noise power at the BTS. Copyright 2022 Zinwave.

Note: If you wish to setup SNMP during the initial setup of the system, see SNMP. 10.1 Connection to DAS System The entire DAS system is setup and configured via the Configuration GUI on the Primary Hub. Access the GUI on your Primary Hub using a Web Browser, as described in the previous section. 10.2 Software Upgrade Equipment is shipped with the latest version of software at the time of manufacture. However, updates may have been made after shipping. The latest version of software is always available via your Zinwave supplier or from the support area on our website https://portal.zinwave.com/portal-gateway/
(Registration is required). A UNItivity 5000 software update will update the Primary Hub software, as well as firmware on connected Secondary Hubs and Remote Units. Complete this step first if newer software is available. 10.2.1 Full System Software Upgrade The Software Upgrade feature allows the user to deploy a software update to the Primary Hub and all attached Secondary Hubs and Remote Units in a DAS, using a single upgrade file. The Units table in the Software Upgrade page shows all the hardware elements present in the system, including their Labels and Hardware and Software versions. Ensure that the system is complete and stable prior to starting an upgrade. All Secondary Hubs and Remote Units in the system should be updated to the firmware versions contained in the software release image that is deployed to the Primary Hub. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 10-1 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Initial System Setup To install a new software release:
The software release .dat file must be accessible to the system hosting the Web browser being used to access the Configuration GUI. Go to the Software Upgrade page. Click the 'Choose File' button to select a full new Software Release to be uploaded to the system. The software version details will be displayed. Select New Software Release Software File Transfer Specify whether software auto-installation (involving reboot of affected units) should be automatically performed after software file transfers are completed or not, by selecting one of the options from the drop-down list Auto-Install after transferring:
No the Install button or Cancel button are available at the end of the transfer. Yes, asap following upload The firmware is installed onto the Primary Hub and flashed onto every Remote Unit and Secondary Hub automatically. The system reboots. Yes, by scheduler The installation and reboot process can be scheduled on the System Maintenance page, so the down-time can be arranged at a convenient moment out-of-hours. Click the Start button to Upload and Decompress the software image files to all the Primary Hub, Secondary Hubs and Remote Units. This is carried out in a serial manner, and firmware transfers may take up to 4 hours in a large DAS. The firmware image will only be transferred to SHs and RUs that require updating. A progress bar will indicate the status of each Hub and Remote Unit transfer. Software / Firmware Installation Once all required Hub and Remote Unit transfers have reached 100%, software / firmware installation will proceed according to the Auto-install after transferring setting. The Install button will be made available and can be selected to initiate the software installation process manually. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 10-2 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Initial System Setup Note that the entire DAS will be rebooted when a full new software Installation takes place. Please wait for all the RUs and SHs to be Flashed, after which the Primary Hub will reboot. Following the system restart, warnings will be displayed if any SHs or RUs contain firmware that is not the expected version. If any unexpected firmware versions are reported, use the option to Update RU and SH Firmware from Installed Hub Software. 10.2.2 To update RU and SH Firmware from an Installed Primary Hub Software Release:
In cases where the installed Primary Hub software is the desired version, but the system is warning that some Remote Units or Secondary Hubs contain an unexpected firmware version, it is possible to update the firmware on those units by clicking Update Firmware. No release file is required in this case, as firmware that already exists on the Primary Hub is used. Only the SHs and RUs that require updating will be rebooted when firmware installation takes place. 10.3 System Setup The System Setup page allows the user to view and apply an RF configuration to the DAS and enable and disable modules. It allows the user to declare how much power will be arriving at each Service Module Input, and how much transmitted power is required at each Remote Unit output. The system configures the corresponding downlink gains to achieve the requested output powers. It also configures the uplink gain, according to the downlink gain and the desired UL/DL balance. 10.3.1 Import Coverage Tool setting This feature is used to load the RF design parameters during the system setup process. The user has the option of directly importing Coverage Tool settings or entering them manually. To import Coverage Tool settings, click Choose File and locate a file with .cts extension, previously exported from the Coverage Tool (https://tools.zinwave.com:8443). After changes are made to the configuration parameters, they can be validated by pressing the
"Validate System Settings" button, which will cause the Validation Results page to be displayed. Click Apply to save the changed configuration (resulting in the System Status page opening). Changes can be cancelled at any stage prior to clicking "Apply" by clicking the "Undo" button, leaving the system running with the previously installed values. Applying new settings reconfigures the entire system and will take several minutes on a large DAS. 10.3.2 Primary Hub Configuration The expected input power arriving at each Service Module Input is dependent on the base-station output power and the attenuation in the POI hardware that feeds the Service Module. It is declared as the Calculated Input Level (dBm) at the Service Module input. Services may also be brought to the hub over fiber using a Transport Module in a rear slot. The Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 10-3 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Initial System Setup Calculated Input Level (dBm) corresponds to the RF level on the fiber, which is recommended to be set to -25dBm. Separately, the relative mix of power levels from each service input is specified by the Calculated Relative Power Level. The dominant input is set to 0dB, and the lesser inputs are set to a negative dB value. This determines the mix of signal levels appearing at the Remote Unit outputs. The system uses these input parameters together with the desired DL Power required from each RU to configure the gains of each path in the downlink. It also configures the uplink gain, following from the downlink gain and the desired UL/DL Balance. In this section, configure the label for the Primary Hub and the Services, enable or disable Service Modules (and Transport Modules). The Relative Input AGC Threshold is described below, where excessive input levels are managed. The RF Matrix has 4 inputs from each of the service modules, connected to 4 outputs via 16 independent switches. The 4 outputs feed consecutive pairs of the 8 Optical Modules on the front of the Hub, such that the Services may be flexibly routed to some or all of the Remote Units. Note that composite RF input into a Service Module should not exceed +15dBm. Individual Optical Modules and Transport Modules in the front slots of the Primary Hub can be directly disabled by clicking the green icon next to the port. A Module can be re-enabled by clicking the red icon next to the port. Enabling or disabling the Module is applied immediately the relevant icon is clicked
(resulting in the System Status page opening.) There is no requirement to click "Validate Settings" and Apply Settings to enable or disable an Optical Module or Transport Module in a front slot. 10.3.3 Service Module Downlink AGC An AGC function is implemented for the Downlink of each Service Module, to protect the DAS system from overload due to excessive input signal levels. From the version 5.07 software release, the installer is able to independently configure an Input AGC Threshold for each installed Service Module. This is done by adjusting the Relative Input AGC Threshold settings within the Primary Hub Configuration section of the System Setup screen. The value specified for each Service Module is relative to the Calculated (maximum) Input Level specified for that Service Module. If a maximum Input Level of 0 dBm is configured, and the Relative Input AGC Threshold is set to +3 dB, then the Primary Hub will limit the downlink signal level internal to the Service Module to +3 dBm by dynamically dialing in additional attenuation in the Service Module as required. Such signal limiting will occur until the available attenuation in the Service Module is exhausted, or the input signal applied to the Service Module achieves the maximum permitted level of 15dBm, at which point the service input will be disabled and a loss of service alarm will be raised. Note that the Service Module AGC function incorporates limited hysteresis to avoid excessive AGC cycling. 10.3.4 Transport Module AGC Similar to a Service Module, an AGC function is implemented for the Downlink of each Transport Module, to protect the DAS system from overload due to excessive input signal levels. This is done by adjusting the Relative Input AGC Threshold setting within the Primary Hub Configuration section of the System Setup screen. The value specified for each Transport Module is relative to the Calculated (maximum) Input Level specified for that Service Module. If a maximum Input Level of -25 dBm is configured, and the Relative Input AGC Threshold is set to +5 dB, then the Primary Hub will limit the downlink signal level internal to the Transport Module to -20 dBm by dynamically dialing in additional attenuation in the Transport Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 10-4 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Module as required. Initial System Setup For a UniTransport Hub, there is an UL AGC Threshold (dBm) for each Transport Module connected to a Downstream Primary Hub. The System Setup screen shows a table entitled Downstream PH Configuration, where the UL AGC Threshold is configured. Similar to the settings for a Remote Unit, the level is in absolute power (dBm). Typically this is set to -20dBm. Signal limiting will occur until the available attenuation in the Transport Module is exhausted (31dB range). 10.3.5 Rack-Mount Power Supply Unit Configuration Zinwaves Rack Mount PSU (RM-PSU) is used to power Remote Units directly-connected to the primary Hub, that dont have an accessible Secondary Hub power port. This section allows the user to configure a Zinwave RM-PSU that has been connected to a USB port on the Primary Hub. Clicking on the green icons for each power port and then clicking Apply will configure the power state of the power ports. 10.3.6 Secondary Hub Configuration and Controls The Secondary Hub Configuration section allows the user to label Secondary Hubs. It is necessary to click "Validate Settings" and Apply Settings to save the changed configuration (Clicking Apply Settings results in the System Status page opening). The Secondary Hub Controls section allows the user to individually enable/disable Secondary Hub optical and power ports by clicking the relevant green (enabled) or red (disabled) icon. Clicking the Apply button at the bottom right of the section saves these settings (resulting in the System Status page opening). Note that after a system restart, all SH optical and power ports will always be re-enabled. 10.3.7 Remote Unit Configuration This section allows the user to set a Remote Unit Downlink AGC Mode based on the application limitation (FCC/Canada and CE territories have different specifications). There is also a no AGC mode that is not recommended for use as it provides no self-protection against over-driving the RU downlink. In countries where FCC regulations apply, the Downlink Power threshold is 2dBm higher than that permitted for CE regulations. The DL Power for each Remote Unit tells the system how much composite transmit power is required from the Remote Unit for all of the services combined together. The weighting of each service depends on the Calculated Relative Power Level (dB) setting on each Service Module, and which of the Matrix paths has been enabled. The system uses these input parameters to configure the gains of each path in the downlink. The DAS automatically configures the Uplink gain for each RU to match its Downlink gain, plus any Uplink/Downlink Balance selected at the Service Modules and Transport Modules. Each Remote Unit needs to protect the system from very high uplink signal levels, to avoid blocking out weaker uplink signals on the other paths. The Uplink AGC Threshold is specified for each remote unit as the expected maximum received power at this Remote Unit location. Commonly the threshold is set to mitigate against interference from walkie-talkie and WLAN devices, while permitting harmless background signals to co-exist. The uplink power detector in each Remote Unit reduces the RU gain as soon as the detected power Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 10-5 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Initial System Setup level reaches the AGC threshold. There is no particular period that must expire before AGC is cleared, rather, it is cleared as soon as the constantly-monitored power level drops below the threshold (minus a 0.5dB hysteresis margin). The Uplink AGC operating region continues through higher uplink signal levels, until the AGC/overload attenuator in the Remote Unit has run out of range. This is typically 5 to 20 dB of active AGC range. At that point the uplink will be switched off to protect the system. The Uplink AGC threshold for each RU does not directly affect the uplink gain, though in some cases where the target Uplink gains and RU AGC levels are high, the system may warn that the uplink gain needs to be limited when a new configuration is Validated/Applied, to avoid over-driving the Service Module outputs. The user can Enable or Disable the power amplifier and the LNA in the Remote Unit (Radio State). All Remote Units can be conveniently enabled/disabled and set to the same default settings by selecting from the relevant drop-down at the top of the list of RUs, and clicking the adjacent Set button. 10.3.7.1 Higher-Power Remote Unit (305-1007) The 305-1007 Higher-Power Remote Unit supersedes the 305-0007 Remote Unit, although both types can be used in the same system. The 305-1007 can be identified from a 12-digit serial number starting 33xxxxnnnnnn, whereas the 305-0007 has a serial number starting 66xxxxnnnnnn. Internally, the 305-0007 has an RF architecture that delivers a wide, flat frequency response. Although this is conceptually simpler to understand and use, it does not take into account the differing power levels required by different types of carrier signal. The 305-1007 has a sloped frequency response, dynamically configured by the system. It is used to deliver a higher power to the higher-frequency services that suffer poorer coverage due to the shorter wavelength. Lower-frequency services are not so resource-hungry, and in fact it is better for the DAS to transmit at a lower power level in order to minimize any impact of wideband noise on neighboring non-DAS systems. The settings applied from the System Setup screen are literally applied for any services above 1575 MHz. Any services that lie below 1575 MHz will experience approximately 3 dB lower Downlink and Uplink gain. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 10-6

All discovered Units and the Modules in the Primary Hub are displayed:
Primary Hub (PH): Head-end of DAS, interfacing Services to SHs and/or RUs o Service Module (SM) - Provides interface for RF services from BTS, etc. The table also shows input Transport Modules (TMs) o Optical Module (OM) - Provides optical links to a Secondary Hub or Remote Unit. The table also shows any output Transport Modules (TMs). Secondary Hub (SH): Fans out optical links from the PH to up to 8 Remote Units per SH. Remote Unit (RU): Provides RF connections to antennas for Tx/Rx to RF devices. Downstream Primary Hub (PH0x): The tree shows other Primary Hubs that are connected to receive Services from this Primary Hub (a.k.a. UniTransport Hub). 10.5 Event Log The event log page provides a history of the last 500 events recorded by the Hub. In this page, the user can Download Event Log as an event/log text file and Download System Log as a rawlog.zip compressed text file.

System Logs may be sent to Zinwave to facilitate diagnosis of system issues. System Logging is disabled by default and should be enabled only where a problem is suspected. Ensure that the System Log is downloaded within 15 minutes of the occurrence of the issue that is to be investigated by Zinwave. Event Log filtering can be enabled to avoid some repetitive warnings/alarms filling up the Event Log. For example, by customizing the Service Warning Alarm Relay to ignore Uplink AGC service warnings on the RUs, and then enabling Event Log filtering, it is possible to eliminate unwanted AGC warnings from the Event Log. 10.6 Hub Setup On this GUI screen, the user can Restart the Primary Hub, set the IP network settings, configure the SNMP Traps, choose between a secure (https) or insecure (http:) connection, set the Date & Time and configure the User Security Settings. 10.6.1 Restart Hub Click the 'Restart Hub' button to reboot the Primary Hub. 10.6.2 IP Settings IP Address Subnet Mask Gateway Address This defines how IP addresses are partitioned on your network.

If the current user has no rights to set a password, then no password entry fields will be displayed. 10.7 Alarms Setup On this GUI screen, the user can define how alarm LEDs and relays are handled. Alarms can be one of three types: Loss of Service, Service Warning and Hardware Warning. Alarms can be customized and allow the user to select whether individual alarms from a specific category will activate the Fault or Warning relay or will be ignored. Clicking Restore Default sets all values to the factory default values:
Service Warning LED - Amber Hardware Warning LED - Amber Relay for Loss of Service - Fault Relay for Service Warning - Warning Relay for Hardware Warning Warning 10.8 System Maintenance Note: Any actions executed from this page will result in the DAS service being temporarily interrupted. In this section, the user can set the start time for the system maintenance window. Only one action will occur at a time in the order (when more than one is scheduled): Software Installation, RF Calibration then System Check. The user can also check the status of any scheduled actions. Note: For a software upgrade where the installation is scheduled by System Maintenance, all software file transfers must have completed before the System Maintenance Start Time (and Day, if specified). Otherwise, installation will be delayed until the next System Maintenance window for software installation. RF Calibration performs an end-to-end (Service Module input/output to the Remote Unit DL/UL ports) system calibration. The user can enable a recurring calibration on a specified schedule. The user can also perform a one-time RF Calibration. Note: RF Calibration values are stored in non-volatile configuration memory. The user is able to clear all existing RF Calibration values, if desired, by clicking the Clear RF Calibration button at the bottom of the screen. System Check performs a system-wide scan to measure the RF isolation between TX and RX antennas on the same Remote Unit, as well as between the neighboring Remote Units. It also checks Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 10-10 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Initial System Setup the RU PA gains and establishes 48V power port mappings between RUs and Secondary Hubs and any RM-PSU present. The antenna check is performed by transmitting a test signal from the Primary Hub through each Remote Unit. The 305-xxxx system selects test tones at 2400, 2440 and 2483 MHz; the 306-xxxx system selects test tones at 3450, 3550, 3650 MHz. Commercial services are disconnected during this phase. As with the RF Calibration, System Check can be scheduled to reoccur in user-specified maintenance windows or be performed on a one-off basis. The Full System check (includes antenna cross coupling between multiple Remote Units) of a 64 Remote Unit system (i.e. maximum number of Remote Units on a Primary Hub) should take approximately 15-20 minutes. It is recommended that the Full System check is done during the original system commissioning. Select Omit antenna cross-
coupling if a more limited antenna scan with reduced run-time is required. Note: the TX-RX antenna isolation for an RU will be reported with >= (greater than or equals symbol) pre-pended if the value measured was impaired by background noise/interference at the time of the measurement. This occurs when the measurement with an active test tone is not at least 1dB above the maximum background noise level recorded when the test tones were off. All we can be certain of is that the TX-RX antenna isolation will not be lower than the value shown. It is also possible that the TX antenna may be disconnected in this scenario. When the symbol - is displayed in place of a TX-RX isolation number in the report, this represents an unmeasurable TX-RX antenna isolation. The measured RX signal level was not sufficiently above the RU RX noise floor. This could be due to either antenna being disconnected, or a very high TX-RX antenna isolation condition, due to wide antenna separation or low antenna gain at the frequencies used for the test. It is important that the System Check is run when the building is as quiet as possible (e.g. 2am), to minimize measurement errors due to background RF noise. The wide-band RU RX power measurement cannot distinguish between wanted power for test (from RU Tx signal), and other uplink background noise power received. Inconsistent antenna isolation or cross-coupling measurements may occasionally be logged due to some background interference being present in that location at the time of the test. Logging and comparing isolation measurements obtained over a number of System Check runs should help highlight where to focus on-site attention. The System Views section provides collated Status/Configuration Information related to the DAS. 10.9 System Views 10.9.1 System Snapshot This section provides the view of the entire system configuration and status information for the DAS in a tabular form. The user can save the view as an HTML file that can be displayed by any supported browser. 10.9.2 Alarm Counts This View lists all units/modules for which the count of any alarms is non-zero (the Alarm Count is a cumulative number for all the instances of an alarm since the last system restart). Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 10-11 UNItivity 5000 User Manual 10.9.3 Link Quality Initial System Setup This is a single page View of the fiber optic link quality for the DAS. Uplink and Downlink paths are shown for all optical links in the system. Measured optical losses are displayed. If the RF Calibration function on the System Maintenance page has been executed, then applied RF calibration values are also displayed. 10.9.4 RU DC Power This is a single page View showing the DC power parameters for all Remote Units in the DAS. The table reports the input voltage, input current and power dissipation measured by each RU. The power dissipation of each DC supply cable is also calculated if the SH or RM-PSU voltage is available for that particular RU. PSU Port Association is displayed, an output from performing the RF System Check. It maps the power ports on the Secondary Hubs with the Remote Units they are connected to. 10.9.5 RU Calculations This single page View displays the applied RF settings and calculated gain for all the Remote Units in the DAS, from each Service Module input that has been enabled. It is updated by clicking Validate Settings and Apply Settings on the System Setup page. 10.9.6 RF System Check This view displays a number of RF parameters for each Remote Unit in the system :- the health of the Power Amplifier in the Remote Units (PA Health); background noise level (Background Level); isolation between Tx and Rx antennas for each Remote Unit (Tx/Rx Antenna Isolation); and cross-coupling
(Cross-Coupling Tx/Rx) between the transmitting Remote Unit and receiving ports of the other Remote Units in the system. Note that strong background RF signals can potentially cause false readings with the cross-coupling test. PA Health is highlighted amber when there is 8dB or greater difference between the Tx output power and the expected level from measuring the input power and red if there is no measurable output power. A fault may actually be due to mismatch at the Tx port of the RU, rather than the PA. If the background RF pickup is > -30dBm when the DAS is off it shows amber; if it is > -20dBm it shows red. The test for each RU includes an off measurement and 3 test frequencies, so for a test on each transmitting RU there are many off measurements measured on all of the Rus. This is presented as a range of values, giving an indication that the background pickup might be bursty. If Tx-Rx isolation is in the range -45 to -40dB, it shows amber; if it is more coupling than that it shows red; if the background RF pickup was strong enough to compromise the measurement, it also shows as amber and the result has >= added to the result text. It means that the Tx-Rx isolation measurement had a smaller received level than the Rx level when the DAS was off. If cross-coupling is in the range -50 to -45dB it is shown as amber; stronger than -45dB is it red. Strong coupling from one RUs Tx to another RUs Rx is not to be expected. Copyright 2022 Zinwave.

All rights reserved. 10-13 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Additional System Setup 11 Additional System Setup 11.1 System Uplink/Downlink Balance The uplink / downlink balance allows for variation in transmit and receive path gains depending upon system requirements. A mobile device will estimate the level at which it should register with the base-
station, based on its received downlink strength, and adjusting the balance in the DAS affects the reliability of devices registering on the system. With the uplink / downlink balance at its default value of 0, the uplink and downlink gains are equal. A setting of +5 will request an uplink gain of 5dB higher than the downlink gain. Similarly, a setting of -5dB will set the uplink gain at 5dB lower than the downlink gain. Note: The maximum gain of the system is 25 dB (< 2.7GHz) or 29 dB (> 3.3GHz, and > 1575MHz for 305-1007 Remote Unit). If levels configured in the system require greater gain, then System Setup will limit the values to an achievable gain. The actual gain is determined by a combination of input, output and balance parameters. The gain is primarily defined from the Downlink parameters. The downlink gain, before service balancing, is determined by the Calculated Input Level and the Remote Unit Downlink power. For example, to achieve a downlink gain of 25dB with an output level set at +18dBm the minimum input level that can be set is -7dB when a single service module is enabled. When the Uplink / Downlink balance is set to 0dB, the system will try to set the uplink gain to the same value as the downlink gain. However, the Uplink gain is also constrained by the Uplink AGC Threshold configured on the Remote Unit, and the maximum output level of the Service Module in the uplink direction. The maximum output level of the Service module is +5 dBm. If the user attempts to apply settings that may result in the output level of the service module being exceeded, then the system will automatically limit the DAS uplink gain to avoid this. The user may need to lower the uplink AGC thresholds to reduce the maximum uplink level from RUs. 11.2 Calculated Input Level The Calculated input level is the measured composite power level delivered to the Service Module from the Signal source (BTS, POI etc.). The total composite input power level should not exceed +15dBm. Care must be taken to ensure that the setting reflects the total power possible at the SM. It is important to know not only what is currently connected and being measured, but also what will be present when fully loaded services are present. Particular care should be taken when using CDMA signals where the initial power measured is often that of the Pilot and not the maximum transmit power. Similarly, with cellular services, initial measurements often do not show all traffic channels which will only be operational under loaded conditions. 11.3 Changing or Swapping Equipment If equipment is removed from an existing system, the system will recalibrate links and apply stored Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 11-14 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Additional System Setup configuration settings. This will be shown in System Setup with a message like, The following remote units are missing. Apply a new system setup to acknowledge them. This is because the system has changed from the baseline configuration set up after the Apply button was pressed. Do not make any equipment changes while the system is validating its set up as this will invalidate any System Setup process and the setup will fail. A message will be displayed indicating the failure and request that you run System Setup again. 11.3.1 Hub If a Remote Unit or Secondary Hub is disconnected from the system by removing either its power supply or optical link, and then it is subsequently reconnected, it will restore the same configuration. If a different unit is installed in its place, the new unit will have factory default configuration (unless restored from a previous configuration elsewhere) and must be changed through the Hub Setup page and by re-running the System Setup process to set the correct matrix configuration. 11.3.2 Remote Unit If a Remote Unit is disconnected from the system, when the same unit is reconnected to the same optical module, the system recalibrates the links and applies the stored settings. If a different unit is reconnected, the system sets the unit to its default condition. Edit the System Setup to input its desired values. 11.3.3 Optical Module If a link is broken either due to fault or intervention the system automatically recalibrates the link and applies the appropriate gains when the system is restored even if a different unit is swapped into the system. 11.4 Factory Reset of a Primary Hub It may be necessary to set the Hub back to factory default values when redeploying or reconfiguring equipment. The reset button can be found behind the small hole located to the left of the Alarm Serial interface. If an installation was interrupted or if there has been a catastrophic issue with a Hub that cannot be recovered, you can return the Hub to factory settings. This requires a physical reset to the system. To reset a Hub to factory settings:
1. Using a small device (such as an open paper clip), push the Reset button located on the front of the Hub and hold in for 10 seconds. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 11-15 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Additional System Setup 2. You need to insert the tip of the device into the hole as the button is set in from the front face. The Hub restarts and the LEDs flash. The Hub is returned to the default IP address and configuration settings:

All rights reserved. 11-16 UNItivity 5000 User Manual UniTransport System Setup 12 UniTransport System Setup 12.1 UniTransport Functionality The UniTransport concept permits any primary hub to accept service connections over fiber, in place of coax. Remotely situated base-stations can be connected to a UniTransport hub which is populated with Service Modules in the rear slots and Transport Modules in the front slots. Identical Transport Modules are configured in the Service slots of each Primary Hub to receive those services. One UniTransport Hub may be connected to multiple downstream Primary Hubs, and any Primary Hub may be served by multiple UniTransport Hubs. However, no further cascading is supported i.e. no hub may have Transport Modules fitted to both front and rear slots simultaneously. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 12-17 UNItivity 5000 User Manual UniTransport System Setup The Transport Module is visually similar to an Optical Module, but with internal hardware differences to permit it to also perform the job of a Service Module. It is not interchangeable with an Optical Module. A pair of Transport Modules is required to create a UniTransport link. From a software perspective, any permutation of Service Module and Transport Module may be fitted to the input slots of a Primary Hub, and any permutation of Optical Module and Transport Module may be fitted to the output slots of a UniTransport Hub. From an RF perspective, note that the uplink performance as seen by any one Base-Station is inversely proportional to the number of Remote Units that it is connected to a UniTransport system needs to be designed and planned just like any other DAS. 12.2 Configuration of UniTransport Hub As with all Primary Hubs, up to 4 Services are connected through Service Modules in the rear slots and their levels are adjusted according to the required relative levels and the expected absolute levels. The UniTransport Hub is capable of grouping the input services through a switch matrix and routing some or all to the outgoing Transport Modules in the front Optical slots. These controls on the System Setup page are configured as normal. The right-hand side of the System Setup view shows a list of connected downstream Primary Hubs, as well as the usual list of Remote Units, if any are connected. The key difference between a directly-connected Remote Unit and one connected via a downstream Primary Hub is that the gain budget is now split into two parts. There might be a need for 20dB gain between a service input and each Remote Unit output, and to reach the overall link target, both the UniTransport Hub and the downstream Primary Hub need gain settings that add up to 20dB. To make it as simple as possible, the hub software calculates all the settings from your input of the power level that is to be sent over the fiber. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 12-18 UNItivity 5000 User Manual UniTransport System Setup Zinwave recommends that the DL IP power presented to the Downstream PH is set to -25dBm. Also set the UL AGC Threshold to a little higher than this, -20dBm is recommended. The settings are calculated when you click Validate Settings, and applied to the hardware when you then click the Apply Settings button. Expect the calculated uplink gain to be higher than the downlink gain, even when Uplink/Downlink balance is set to 0dB this is correct, the overall system gain is balanced, but the gain split between the upstream and downstream hubs is deliberately not the same in UL and DL directions. 12.3 Configuration of Downstream Primary Hub Any Primary Hubs connected to a UniTransport Hub are described as downstream of the UniTransport Hub. They will have Transport Modules fitted to their Service input slots. These Transport Modules need to have the same RF input power level assigned to them as the output Transport Modules that feed them in the UniTransport hub. Zinwave recommends that you set the Calculated Input Level to -25dBm. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 12-19 UNItivity 5000 User Manual UniTransport System Setup 12.4 Remote Configuration of UniTransport Hub The physical separation of the UniTransport hub could be several kilometres from the Primary Hubs it serves. To assist with configuring the services arriving at a downstream Primary Hub, there is a Setup button associated with each input Transport Module on the System Setup page of the GUI. Internal communication between the downstream Primary Hub and the UniTransport hub works to fetch the UniTransports Service settings and pass modifications to those settings back upstream. In this way, a downstream Primary Hub can be completely configured without access to the UniTransport Hub. Clicking the Setup button for a given Transport Module will open a new tab or window in the browser to show the services routed to that Transport Module. Clicking Apply Settings will send any changes back to the UniTransport Hub. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 12-20 UNItivity 5000 User Manual UniTransport System Setup The Services provided by the UniTransport hub may also be routed to its own Secondary Hubs and Remote Units as well as other hubs, so keep in mind that changing any power levels and switch settings will have a wider effect.

Events are defined into four categories. 13.1 Alarms Loss of Service Service warning Hardware Warning Informational Some events also cause alarms and are sub-divided as described in the following sections. All these event types are recorded in the log files accessible in the Configuration GUI. See Event Log. 13.1.1 Loss of Service This occurs when the Primary Hub detects an event that will result in the complete loss of 1 or more services in at least 1 RU location, e.g. a link calibration failure, Overload Safe Mode, RU communication timeout, thermal shutdown, etc. A typical example of a Loss of Service alarm occurs when a Remote Unit is disconnected from the system. The log file will show the following type of behavior. 2020-03-31 16:40:47: Raised loss of service alarm: Device is missing on Optical Remote Unit S/N: 660102004510 RU System 2020-03-31 16:40:47: Deleted RU03 s/n 660102004510 Alarm Description Calibration error An error has occurred in the calibration of an optical link. RU services are restricted by a missing Service Module, or by matrix settings The system cannot be configured as desired and some services will not be present due to incomplete Matrix settings. Action Either carry out a manual recalibration through the System Maintenance page or remove and replace the optical cable which will force a recalibration to occur. If the fault persists, check the equipment at both ends of the affected link. Check that each Matrix has valid input and output paths set Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 13-22 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Alarm The uplink power has exceeded the safe limit, and the receiver has been turned off The downlink power has exceeded the safe limit, and the receiver has been turned off Understanding Alarms & Reporting Action Remove the overload condition Check the measured input level and either modify input settings value or reduce BTS input level to the level required. Description The power in the uplink (primarily the Remote Unit) has exceeded the defined threshold. This will cause the LNA in the Remote Unit to switch off until the overload condition is removed. It can be caused by uncontrolled uplink power from mobiles or by poor installation causing reduction in Tx Rx isolation. This relates primarily to the service Module and is raised when the downlink power from the connected BTS or POI exceeds the specified input level. A unit that was present at the application of Validate / Apply Settings is no longer connected to the system. Device is missing Correct or accept through System Setup 13.1.2 Service Warning This type of event is one that may be affecting the performance of at least 1 service in at least 1 RU location, e.g. a bad optical link, Overload AGC Mode, etc. 2020-03-31 16:55:44: Raised service warning alarm: Downlink Automatic Gain Control activated on PH Service Module B Alarm Configuration has not been confirmed by the user The requested composite power could not be achieved Description The settings of the system need to be confirmed by clicking Validate /
Apply Settings. The output power requested at System Setup cannot be achieved. This will be due to a poor optical link which requires too much compensation (gain). Action Run System Setup. Check Optical connections and link quality. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 13-23 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Alarm Description Uplink Automatic Gain Control activated This indicates that the Remote Unit has detected a signal that has reach the UL AGC Threshold. It is currently working in a limited region before it switches off completely. Downlink Automatic Gain Control activated This indicates that the Service Module has detected a signal above its Relative Input AGC Threshold. It is currently working in a limited region before it switches off completely. Understanding Alarms & Reporting Action This indicates that the Remote Unit is sensing a higher than expected uplink RF level. This may be due to the temporary presence of a high power mobile without power control close to the antenna or a lack of isolation between transmit and receive antenna ports. If the condition is transitory, consider setting the UL AGC Threshold to a higher level. If the alarm is due to poor isolation between antennas, try to space the antennas correctly. This indicates that the Service Module is sensing a higher than expected downlink RF level from the connected RF source. This may be due to an incorrect setting for Calculated Input Level or an unexpected increase in BTS output. Check the measured input signal to the Service Module and against expected input signal loading and levels, paying special attention to level changes caused by pilot back off. If the level has increased due to unexpected increase in either channel numbers or service types, check with BTS providers and modify settings accordingly. Uplink has poor RF performance Downlink has poor RF performance The uplink optical link has poor performance usually due to high optical loss. The downlink optical link has poor performance usually due to high optical loss. Check and clean link. Check and clean link. Uplink gain is limited by the maximum allowable output power of a Service Module The uplink gain is limited by the maximum input signal level at the Remote Unit and the maximum output level of the Service module
(+5dBm). The system will automatically configure the desired Uplink/Downlink balance for each service path to every RU. It does this by adjusting the uplink gain according to the DL power set on each RU. If the resulting uplink power at the Service Module exceeds the limit, resolve it by lowering the Uplink/Downlink balance setting on the affected service Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 13-24 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Understanding Alarms & Reporting Alarm Description Action UL gain setting too high, decrease balance Required uplink gain is too high. Input level too low -
changing to appropriate level The SM Calculated Input Level has been changed to prevent the downlink gain from being too high. Different power levels on uplink matrix input The uplink gain is potentially greater than the downlink gain. The system cannot achieve the required output with the input level set on the Set-Up page. The system has a maximum gain of 25 dB between service level input and Remote Unit output power settings. The system has detected that there are inconsistencies with the automatic setting of the internal system parameters due to inequalities in connected components. The system will automatically set the uplink gain to be the same as the downlink gain with a UL/DL balance of 0, but will show this condition indicating that the UL /DL balance can be adjusted if required. If the value provided at System Setup requires greater than this the input value will be adjusted while maintaining the requested output power. The delivered input power should be adjusted (raised) to ensure that excessive gain is not required. This should not prevent satisfactory operation, but values for all elements connected to the affected Matrix should be checked (RU output etc power and all optical links should be checked to ensure that they are performing inside optical limits.) 13.1.3 Hardware Warning This type of event is one that may be affecting the performance or lifespan of a component, e.g. temperature, voltage or current limits, fan failure, etc. 2020-04-01 09:51:29: Raised hardware warning alarm: Fan fault (PH) on PH PSU In each case of a hardware warning the unit identity is included in the message. This condition can also be cleared if you disable the faulty component (where possible) through the System Setup window or Apply a new set of parameters that disable the potentially affected service(s) at the affected location(s). For Hardware warnings this condition is also self-cleared by the Hub if the component returns within limits. 13.1.3.1 Hardware Warning Alarms Alarm Description Action In each case the unit affected will be included in the log message Example The module temperature is above the upper limit on PH PSU.

In the case of Optical Modules, Service Modules and Hub alarms it relates to the Hub Power supply. If the alarm is raised in conjunction with a Remote Unit, the fault will be with local unit or the centralized feed. These are Hub alarms indicating problems with the Hub power supply. Some are used directly by modules and others are intermediate step-down voltages. The fan speed is monitored as part of the internal control of the Hub. A fan fault will either indicate a power supply issue or functional problem with the fan. The received optical power is below the minimum threshold for satisfactory operation and will result in any connected modules being disconnected/ deleted. The problem can be either a power failure at the far end or a break in the optical fiber cable. The optical power level exceeds the maximum value in the case of an optical link or if reported in conjunction with a Remote Unit indicates that the overload value for the RU has been exceeded. If the issue persists, contact Support and arrange for unit RMA in accordance with your maintenance and support agreement. Check for build-up of dirt and dust and replace as required. Check the optical connection and fibers for damage, cleanliness and poor connection. If necessary, clean both sides of the optical interface carefully or replace if damaged. The uplink power is above the upper limit Remove the overload condition Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 13-26 Understanding Alarms & Reporting Alarm Description Action UNItivity 5000 User Manual The downlink power is below the limit The downlink power is above the limit System error The received optical power is below the minimum threshold for satisfactory operation and will result in any connected modules being disconnected/ deleted. The problem can be either a power failure at the far end or a break in the optical fiber cable. This relates primarily to the service Module and is raised when the downlink power from the connected BTS or Repeater exceeds the specified input level. This indicates one of the following:
1) a low-level system error in the reporting unit. 2) The unit does not operate on the same frequency band as the hub. Check the optical connection and fibers for damage, cleanliness and poor connection. If necessary, clean both sides of the optical interface carefully or replace if damaged. In the case of the service module this will be due to higher than expected RF signal levels from the connected RF sources. Measure input signal and check against the set value. Correct settings or report increase in BTS signal to operator. Usually, the unit will reboot itself to clear the problem. System errors may occur as part of normal operation and can be masked if required. 13.1.4 Informational This category covers information presented to the user in the log file which records events that have been carried out by the user such as application of a new system set up, changing time and date or passwords. These are for information only and will not raise an alarm. 2020-04-01 11:33:22: New System Setup being set by: advanced. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 13-27 UNItivity 5000 User Manual 13.2 Alarms Setup Understanding Alarms & Reporting For each of these alarm types, it is possible to configure whether the Fault or Warning relay (or neither) is activated. For Service Warning and Hardware Warning alarms the Primary Hub Warning LED color
(amber or green) can also be configured. 1. The Service and Warning LEDs will be automatically cleared when the alarm is cleared, as will the relevant Fault or Warning relay. 2. Alarm Customization. This feature enables the user to configure individual alarms from a particular category (as opposed to all alarms in that category) to activate the Fault or Warning relay or to be ignored and not activate either relay. Choosing the Custom option from one of the drop-down lists in the Relay settings enables the Customize Settings button. Clicking the Customize Settings button opens the Customize Alarms page. In this page it is possible to configure the Relay Setting for individual alarms in a particular category as Fault, Warning or Ignore. Clicking the Update button saves the changes and returns to the Alarms Setup page. Clicking the Cancel button cancels all changes and returns to the Alarms Setup page. 13.3 Alarm Connections UNItivity 5000 can connect to external alarm sources or monitors via the 9-way D-type connector on the Primary and Secondary Hubs. The connector provides 4 relay outputs: normally open alarm;
normally closed alarm; normally open warning; normally closed warning. The relays are activated by an alarm or warning event. The relays are deactivated by clearing the alarm or warning condition. The UNItivity 5000 Remote Unit supports a single alarm relay to indicate applicable alarms that have been assigned to activate the Fault relay. Fault relay normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common (COM) connections are provided on the Phoenix Contact 3-way Alarm connector on the bottom of the Remote Unit. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 13-28 UNItivity 5000 User Manual 13.4 SNMP Understanding Alarms & Reporting An SNMP interface supports integration with higher order NMS applications such as Network Operation Center software, used to remotely monitor all of the hubs and POIs within the DAS. Security features such as separate user classes and secure communications via SSH & SSL are provided, along with support for secure SNMP v3. Local diagnostics are also available via LEDs indicating equipment status on the Hubs for rapid fault isolation. There are three sections of interest within the MIB tree:
1. The hub3000 section supports an SNMP V2 MIB interface, which offers simple polling of the alarm relay state and current fault description. This section is compatible with earlier Zinwave 3000 DAS products. The definition for this interface is provided in the ZINWAVE-MIB file
(supplied as zw5000-5.14_mib.txt) 2. The hub3000extended section requires an SNMP V3 connection, and is also compatible with Zinwave 3000 DAS products running V4.74. 3. The UNITIVITY5000-MIB section contains extensions added to the Zinwave 5000 DAS. Both the ZINWAVE-MIB file and the UNITIVITY5000-MIB file (e.g. UNITIVITY5000-5.14_mib.txt) must be loaded in order to use it. SNMP Get and SNMP Traps are currently supported, the following tree view shows the structure of the interface:
13.4.1 SNMP V3 Manager Configuration The following are the required SNMP details when connecting to the SNMP Agent running on a hub:

13.4.2 SNMP Trap Events The Fault Relay Status trap will be sent for all alarms which are reported by the Primary Hub. The Fault Relay activates and the SNMP fault relay status trap is sent, in the event of an alarm. When the first trap is sent, the fault relay is set, subsequent traps are sent for additional alarms raised even if the fault relay has not been cleared. This feature is not enabled during the first 5 minutes from power on of the system. This initial start-up phase is to allow for any transient start-up alarms which may occur prior to the system coming online. 13.4.3 SNMP Get Objects The following objects can be queried using v2 SNMP Get requests:
Hub3000Objects.Hub3000String This is the label of the Hub, as has been set in System Hub3000Objects.Hub3000DeviceType This is the type of UNItivity 5000 unit. Hub3000Objects.Hub3000ModelName This is the model name of the UNItivity 5000 unit. Hub3000Objects.Hub3000FaultRelayState The state of the fault relay, either set(1) or Hub3000Objects.Hub3000FaultDescription A description of the last fault detected by the Hub3000Objects.Hub3000PrevFaultDescription A description of the previous fault detected Setup. cleared(0). system. by the system. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 13-30 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Understanding Alarms & Reporting 13.4.4 3000 SNMP Traps The following SNMP traps are supported:
Hub3000Notify.Hub3000Heartbeat This is a heartbeat trap which is sent every 20 minutes to the listening SNMP manager. It contains the following objects: Hub3000String, Hub3000DeviceType, Hub3000ModelName, Hub3000FaultRelayState Hub3000Notify.Hub3000FaultRelayStatus This trap is sent each time a new alarm is raised in the system, and when the fault relay is manually cleared from the PH GUI. It contains the following objects: Hub3000String, Hub3000DeviceType, Hub3000ModelName, Hub3000FaultDescription, Hub3000FaultRelayState The IP address and port of the SNMP trap receiver (SNMP Manager), is set via the LAN Setup page of the Hub graphical user interface. Some notes on the SNMP interface and alarms:
During start-up alarms will be written to the event log, but the fault relay will not set, and no trap will be sent. This start-up period lasts 5 minutes. If any alarms remain or any units are still missing once start-up has completed, the Hub will loop through the alarm conditions and send out traps. 13.4.5 Additional 5000 SNMP Objects The unitivity5000Module group contains notifications which augment the ext3000UnitConfigTable from ZINWAVE-MIB. 13.4.5.1 unitivity5000Notifications This group supersedes both the Hub3000Events and the ext3000NotificationsGroup. The unitivity5000Notifications group contains these notifications :

All rights reserved. 13-32 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Performing Diagnostics and Testing 14 Performing Diagnostics and Testing 14.1 Diagnosing Optical Links with an OTDR The Infrastructure Cable between Hub Optical Module and Remote Unit must meet the following specifications:
Maximum Optical Loss 5dBo Minimum Optical Return Loss 45dB This can be guaranteed only with Single mode fiber and SC-APC connections throughout the installation. 14.1.1 Diagnose an Optical Link In presence of high levels of back reflection due to poor Return loss, the Zinwave system performance is degraded. The effects of this can be easily seen on the system and diagnosed using appropriate test equipment. The effects of back reflection can be seen by looking at the level of the noise floor. In cases where there are high levels of back reflection, the noise floor in either the downlink or the uplink can vary significantly (10-15dB). It may also show as increased levels of harmonics which will also vary in level by significant amounts. The best way to check the return loss of a fiber link is to use an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer
(OTDR) with the appropriate connectors and launch cables. A typical graph result is shown below:
The graph shows the performance of fiber along its length. In this case the first horizontal line represents the first 250m of fiber in the launch box. Each of the subsequent peaks relates to the situations where internal reflection has occurred along the fiber length. This could be connectors, splices or even damaged cables. Generally, the highest peak shows the worst case of back reflection and hence source of return loss and potential interference, depending on the OTDR used results, can be displayed in a tabular form giving distances and the relevant reflection or return loss. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 14-1 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Performing Diagnostics and Testing In the example above a single reflection of -39.3dB is present. In this case the -39.3dB reflection is at the PC/PC interface at the end of the link and in a link with multiple connections there will be an event for each connection. It should be noted that the OTDR is not able to distinguish between 2 reflections very close to each other over long lengths of cable and in the case of two reflections close together, only the worst reflection will be shown. However, this will allow installers to identify where in the overall fiber link the problem occurs. Available in Left- navigation bar 14.2 LED Testing 14.2.1 Modules In order to test the proper operation of the module LEDs, follow the steps below:-
Insert an Optical Module into the front of a Primary Hub. Insert a Service Module into the rear of a Primary Hub. 1. 2. 3. Connect the Optical Module to a Remote Unit. The system should be set up with auto-Setup running and all alarms enabled as faults. The following test sequence should be followed:
4. Switch off the Hub at the mains switch - all module LEDs will be off. 5. Switch on the Hub at the mains switch. The Optical Module LEDs will follow the sequence shown below:
Left Middle Right Status Dull Red Initial start-up. Basic Power present to allow Module detection Green Module detected and full power connected to module Green Green Calibration complete, but final output stage not enabled Green Green Fully operational Off Off Green Flash Green Off Off Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 14-2 UNItivity 5000 User Manual Performing Diagnostics and Testing The Service Module LEDs will follow the sequence shown below:
Left Middle Right Status Dull Red Initial start-up. Basic Power present to allow Module detection Green Module detected and full power connected to module Green Green Module Fully Operational Off Off Off Off Off Off Off Red Off 6. Disconnect the optical fiber from the Optical Module connector. The Optical Module LEDs will alternate between the states shown below:
Left Middle Right Status Green Communication failed with Remote Unit Dull Red Basic Power present to allow Module detection 7. Wait at least 10 seconds then reconnect the optical fiber to the Optical Module. The Optical Module LEDs will follow the same sequence shown in step 2 above. Note: It is not possible to initiate a module alarm so the left side LED RED state cannot be tested. 14.2.2 Remote Unit LED Test In order to test the correct operation of the Remote Unit LED, connect the Remote Unit to an Optical Module in the front of a Primary Hub. The power supply should not be connected. The following test sequence should be followed:
1. Power up the Remote Unit by plugging in the power supply The LED will follow the sequence:
a. OFF RED ALT. RED/GREEN GREEN FLASH GREEN 2. Using System Setup disable the Remote Unit output a. The LED will FLASH GREEN 3. Using System Setup re-enable the Remote Unit output a. The LED will go GREEN. Copyright 2022 Zinwave. All rights reserved. 14-3
