Installing the equipment
It is recommended that all peripheral equipment (e.g., repeaters, splitters) as well as the engineering accessories should be installed before installation of the Terminal Station.
3.3.1 Information required for installation

Appendix A.1 contains a sheet for you to complete and collect all the general information needed for the installation procedure.
3.3.2 Precautions concerning electromagnetic compatibility

Installation is designed to meet all new requirements concerning electromagnetic compatibility and safety The performance of the equipment depends on installation practices (cable installation, ground connections, etc.) which should be based on best trade practices and which may be degraded if these pratices are not respected.
3.3.3 Tools required

The installation staff must possess a standard installation toolkit (containing, in particular: drill, drill bits, soldering iron, cable tie pliers, terminal pliers). A heating pack is also required for heatshrinking operations. The list of tools required for the mechanical installation of the Terminal Station is given below: Tool 5 mm Allen key (for M6 screw) 13 wrench Level gauge or inclinometer Use For securing the pole mounting and wall mounting For tightening the U bolts on the 40 to 50 mm tube For verticaly of the bearing axis

3.4
Installation of the Terminal Station RT unit

IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER HANDLE THE RT UNIT BY ITS ANTENNA BUT BY THE BODY OF THE RADIO OR THE SUPPORT ARM.
Considerations: The installation of the RT unit should satisfy the following criteria: unimpeded direct line of sight between RT unit and RBS (Base Station), perfect mechanical rigidity, enabling precise antenna alignment.
The 9900RT is designed for outdoor installation without any particular protection. However, the following recommendations must be respected: do not install equipment below bird nesting areas, do not attach equipment to a surface prone to vibrations (machinery, lift housing, air conditioning, etc.), do not attach equipment to chimneys which give off fat deposits, dust and other aerosols which are liable to come to rest on the equipment, do not install equipment in proximity of sources of heat, do not place the equipment in proximity to corrosive gas outputs, do not place the equipment below roof runoffs not equipped with guttering (high risk of microwave shortcircuit), do not install at manheight to prevent human collisions against the antenna. This could cut the radio link with the central station.
Two types of assembly are possible: on a flat, vertical surface (e.g., a wall), on a pole/tube (existing or to be installed), using threaded Ubolts and nuts (M8).
Note : The pole/tube selected should be sufficiently rigid to prevent antenna misalignment and resist vibrations. Use tube supports that comply with our recommendations. Support references are mentionned in the next chapters.
3.4.1 Definition of assemblies with respect to chosen polarization

The Terminal Station RT unit can be mounted with horizontal (H) or vertical (V) polarization.
USE THE SAME POLARIZATION ON TERMINAL STATION AND BASE STATION.
To mount the radio/antenna assembly on the support arm, in the event of horizontal polarization, the horizontal polarization kit must be used. This consists of an additional joint to compensate for the mechanical rotation of the system.
25/90
The polemounting mechanical assembly consists of (Figure 8): two components in the case of vertical polarization (V): wall mounting (ref.1) and bearing mounting (ref.2); three components in the case of horizontal polarization (H): wall mounting (ref.1) , bearing mounting (ref.2) and polarisation mounting (ref.3).

3.4.2 Installation of the 9900RT on a wall or flat vertical surface

Considerations: If attaching the RT unit using bolts and plugs, select the attachment components to suit the composition of the attachment surface. The surface chosen should not be prone to vibrations (e.g., avoid machine housings). To mark the drill holes, use the drilling template printed on the inside panel of the RT unit packaging box.
Figure 11 Installation of the RT unit on a wall Stages 1. 2. Select the installation location and determine the polarization of the RT unit. Place the drilling template against the wall (or surface) to be pierced.
Note : The vertical axis of the wall mounting assembly must be respected (see figure 12). Used a bubble level or inclinometer. 3. 4. 5. Drill the 4 holes. Insert the 4 plugs. Install and secure the wall mounting (V et H polarization) using four M6x50 screws with washers.
Note : screw torque = 4,3 to 4,9m.N.
IMPORTANT : VERTICALITY OF +/ 1 REQUIRED FOR POLARIZATION

3.4.3 Installation of the RT unit on a tube

Considerations Install on tube using two Ubolts. Installation may be carried out on a newly installed or existing tube. The external diameter of the tube is 50 mm in standard configuration. The support tube, along with the Ubolts, must be clean and (apart from threads) greasefree. If specific site features make perfect alignment impossible (line of sight parallel to the wall, for example). you are recommended to use a support that complies with our specifications (see references in the paragraphs which follow).
IMPORTANT : VERTICALITY OF +/ 1 REQUIRED FOR POLARIZATION
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE USE OF SUPPORTS WITH A SLENDERNESS RATIO GREATER THAN OUR MODELS SHOULD BE EXCLUDED (TOO FLEXIBLE)
Note : the use of supports with slenderness ratios inferior to our own is authorized (more rigid). Note : slenderness ratio = length / crosssection of sections used. Steps 1. 2. Select the installation location and determine the polarization of the RT. Install and secure the wall mounting (V et H polarization) using the two Ubolts (and nuts with washers) provided for this purpose, or the attachment hardware delivered with the specific wall mount.
Note : screw torque = 10.5 to 12 m.N. Note : The vertical axis of the wall mounting assembly must be respected. 3. Install and secure the bearing mounting on the wall mounting (V and H polarization), see figure 8.
To continue the hardware installation, go to step 4 in the case of horizontal polarization or go directly to step 5 for vertical polarization. 4. 5. 6. Install and secure the polarization mounting (H polarization only). Install and secure the RT radio unit with its antenna on the support arm. Check the polarization indicator to check correct polarization (cf. figures 9 and 10). Release the RT assembly locking screw and carry out antenna prepointing visually and/or using a compass and a map. To do this, orientate the assembly so that the antenna is pointed towards the Base Station antenna. Remove the radio module from its axis for configuration (See Chapter 4).

3.4.4 Grounding the RT unit

Considerations Steps 1. Crimp a lug (ref.: 166 CT) on to the grounding cable (16 mm2 minimum crosssection). 2. Screw the cable lug into the tapped hole. Use an M6 screw and onduflex washers. It is not necessary to establish special grounding connection for the RT casing. However the RT unit can be grounded. On the RT unit, the ground terminal is in the form of a tapped hole (see figure 22) on the attachment axis of the pole mounting. The RT unit can be grounded using the grounding lug and screw hardware supplied with the equipment.

Installation of the RT/NT link
Considerations The electrical connection between the RT unit and the NT unit of the Terminal Station is made using a type ET 2PA 981 75 ohm coaxial cable equipped with F connectors (at the NT side end) and N connectors (at the RT side end). If a single cable (70 meters without connectors) does not cover the distance between the RT unit and the NT unit, two or more repeaters must be used. For the possible configurations and installation of a repeater, see paragraph 3.7. If the RT unit is connected to several NTs of the Terminal Station, use several splitters. For the possible configurations, and installation of a splitter, see paragraph 3.8. The length of the cable used must be noted. In order to facilitate this measurement, refer to the markings printed every meter, on the outer sheath of the cables. To know the length of cable installed, subtract the number at one end from the number at the other end of the cable used. Note the result at the NT side end. You are recommended to secure the coaxial cable every meter with a cable tie. Use collars fitted to the support used for the path.

S S S S
Steps
diameter = 7.5 mm, maximum installed cable length = 200 meters, minimal bend radius = 40 mm. minimal bend radius = 100 mm for a drip of water
1. Carry out the 75 ohm connector between the RT unit and the NT unit. Note : In the event of the use of repeaters and/or splitters, use the number of cables required by the configuration. Refer to paragraphs 3.7 and 3.8. Note : Make a drip groove where the cable enters the building, respection the cables bending radius (100 mm minimum), in order to prevent water infiltration. AVOID A TOO LONG PARALLEL WALK BETWEEN THE RT/NT COAXIAL LINK AND ELECTRICAL CABLES, OR GSM/DCS BASE STATION CABLES. Note the length of the cable installed in the 9900 RT/NT cabling sheet (Appendix A.1). This information will be entered into the database when the equipment is commissioned using the configuration software. Note : The accuracy required by the configuration software is + 1.5 m. 3. At the RT unit side end, equip the cable with a type N 75 ohm coaxial connector, supplied with the equipment. For attaching the coaxial terminals, refer to the manufacturers Assembly manual and use the specific tools as recommended. One of the main causes of installation problems is the faulty mounting of connectors. 2.
36/90
NEVER USE 50 OHM CONNECTORS, AT THE RISK OF DESTROYING THE RADIO UNIT, USE ONLY THE N 75 CONNECTOR SUPPLIED IN THE RT BOX. IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER HANDLE THE RT UNIT BY ITS ANTENNA BUT BY THE BODY OF THE RADIO OR THE SUPPORT ARM.
IMPERATIVE : PROTECT THE N CONNECTOR CONNECTION WITH A PREPASTED THERMOSHRINKABLE SLEEVE.
Thermoshrink a prepasted sleeve on the connector/terminal/cable assembly 70 mm along. (80 mm minimum long before thermoshrink) The sleeve end should stop at the terminal base.
Figure 24 Connecting the N connector with the thermoshrinkable sleeve 4. Attach the cable to the RT unit using a cable tie. THE COAXIAL CABLE SHOULD NEVER BE TOO TIGHT BETWEEN THE RT AND ITS MOUNTING. ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE MOUNTING AND THE LENGHT OF THE CABLE TO SUIT, OTHERWISE THERE IS A MAJOR RISK OF ANTENNA MISALIGMENT OR CABLE DAMAGE AT THE CONNECTOR. ON THE OTHER HAND, TOO SLACK A CONNECTION CAN HAVE THE SAME CONSEQUENCES UNDER THE EFFECT TO THE WIND.
Note : No overtighten the cable tie on the cable; this could cause deformation of the dielectric and subsequent loss of performance. 5. Run the cable to the NT unit and equip it with a type F 75 ohm coaxial connector, supplied with the equipment.

Installation of the Terminal Station 9900NT (Indoor Unit)

A SPACE OF 1U (in the event of rack mounting) OR APPROXIMATELY 50 mm MUST BE LEFT FREE ABOVE THE TERMINAL STATION IDU.
NEVER STORE DOCUMENTATION OR ANY OTHER OBJECTS ABOVE THE NT UNIT ON THE VENTILATION HOLES. THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO BE DAMAGED.
Considerations The NT units are intended for indoor installation only. The NT should be positioned in accordance with the needs of the user and the technical constraints (e.g., minimum distances to be respected, topology of the connections, accessibility of the RT/NT link, power supply). Always place the NT nit in a dry, dustfree environment, away from any major source of heat (5 C < T< + 55C). Always place the NCAxxx NT unit near a rated power source: 85264VAC , 4763Hz with ground connection.
Note : Use grounded power connections only. Avoid the use of extension cables. The NT to sector connection must be done last, during commissioning (see 4), TS installation, included all other connections, being completed. Do not install the NT too close to the ground (keep at a distance from dust and floor cleaning products). do not install on premises containing corrosive materials.
3.6.1 Installation of the 9900NT unit on a desktop

3.6.4 Earthing the NT units

Considerations NT casing must imperatively be connected to the main earth with a cable 16 mm2 minimal crosssection whose length must not exceed 2.40 m. The grounding terminal is on the right of the NT unit (connections side) and is in the form of a tapped hole (see Figure 28). Steps 1. Crimp a lug (ref.: 166 CT) on to the earthing cable (16 mm2 crosssection). 2. Screw the cable lug into the terminal designed for this purpose. Use an M6 screw. The earth connection should be made as directly as possible between the unit and the general earthing system of the side (bar, rod, plate, etc.). The grounding of the NCAxxx NT units is through the 220V main connector; for the NGAxxx units, only one earthing point is necessary, after the earthing of all the NT units.

3.7
Installation of one or more repeater modules

In the case of a coaxial cable to cover a distance greater than 70 meters between the 9900RT and the 9900NT, a repeater module is required to compensate losses. Repeaters are installed indoors only, sheltered from dust and heat. The repeater must be installed in series on the RT/NT connection (coaxial cable). Respect the installation orientation of the repeaters, paying attention to the reference marks on the casing. The repeater needs no setting. It has no individual power supply: the repeater automatically takes its power from the supply passing through the RT/NT connection. The repeater is a fixed gain bidirectional amplifier. This means that the installation instructions and methodology described below MUST be respected.
Considerations
Repeater installation instructions Between repeater and RT unit, the length of the connection (coaxial cable) is variable: from 0 to 70 meters. Between repeater and NT unit, the length of the connection (coaxial cable) is always fixed: 70 meters. Between two repeaters, the length of the connection (coaxial cable) is always fixed: 70 meters. The system supports a maximum of 2 repeaters per route. Route means the path between an NT unit and the RT unit.
First example: length of coaxial cable less than 140 m (here, 110 m). A single repeater is used.

Installation of one or several repeaters with splitter(s)

For a single RT unit it is possible to mount up to four NT units with passive splitter(s) and 8 NT units.with active splitter. The splitter is installed in series on the RT/NT connection (coaxial cable). The splitter has no individual power supply: it feeds the power through from the NT to the RT. Respect the installation orientation of the repeaters and splitters, paying attention to the reference marks on the casing. The length of the cable used must be noted. In order to facilitate this measurement, refer to the markings printed every meter, on the outer sheath of the cables. To know the length of cable installed, subtract the number at one end from the number at the other end of the cable used.
Considerations Where there are several NT units for a single RT unit, one or several splitter(s) need(s) to be used.
3.8.1 Instructions with passive splitter(s)

The system supports a maximum of 2 repeaters and 2 passive splitters per route. Route means the path between an NT unit and the RT unit. The variable distance between an RT and a repeater is from 0 to 70 meters. The fixed distance between two repeaters is 70 meters. The fixed distance between a repeater and an NT is 70 meters. The fixed distance between two repeaters encompassing a passive splitter is 50 meters. The fixed distance between a repeater and an NT, and encompassing a splitter, is 50 meters. The fixed distance between two repeaters encompassing two passive splitters is 30 meters. The fixed distance between a repeater and an NT, encompassing two splitters, is 30 meters. If a fixed lenght section must be coiled, respect a minimum bending radius of 200 mm.

3.8.2 Installation directions for an assembly with active splitter

The active splitter comprises 2 repeaters and 7 passive splitters, see figure 34. This set of components is located in a casing (if necessary, the active splitter may be assembled onsite via field cabling by the installer). The cables between the passive splitter and the other components must then be less than 30 cm long. The variable distance between a RT and an active splitter is from 20 to 50 m for a standard cable or from 70 to 140 m for a lowloss cable. The fixed distance between an active splitter and an NT is 24 m for a standard cable. The fixed distance around a repeater from an active splitter to an NT is 94 m for a standard cable. For each access not used by an NT, add a 75 Ohm load.

Figure 39 Adjustment procedure using the RIT tool potentiometer audio headset connected to the service kit cable: to the minimum received field corresponds a low frequency audio signal (headsets LF tone); to the maximum received field corresponds a high frequency audio signal.
The received signal follows the curve below which comprises several maximum points called lobes:
~ 1.5_ for every 3 dB level deviation Vertical plane
15 dB
main lobe
Horizontal plane ~ 6_ to ~ 15 dB from the main lobe Lobe crosssection
side lobes
Figure 40 Main lobe and side lobes of the received signal Note : As the side lobes are rather close (4_ to 5_) from the main lobe at a rather high level (15 dB), searching the maximum received signal must be carried out carefully to make sure that pointing is effectively carried out considering the main lobe (see Horizontal and vertical pointings).

Pointing
Figure 41 azimuth and elevation adjustment screw
Presets Using the Allen key, slightly untighten the azimuth and elevation screws so that the RT can move easily (marks 1 and 2, figure 41). Horizontally direct the RT to the Base Station using a compass if necessary.
Horizontal and vertical pointings
Using the RIT tool and/or the audio headset (see section Help for using the RIT 4.2.4.3) , perform the following adjustments: Move the RT radio by performing horizontal scanning, until you find a maximum reception level. Note : If no level is detected, check with the compass that the RT correctly points to the base station. In case of failure check the installation (polarization, connections). Carry out alignment with respect to the strongest signal. To do this, either:
S S
observe the maximum field level on the RIT tool indicator shown in figure 39, or, evaluate the maximum field level using the audio headset connected to the service kit cable,
Using the Allen key, slightly tighten the azimuth screws (mark 1, figure 41) before performing the vertical pointing, in order to maintain a maximum azimuth reception and make the two adjustments independent (H and V). Move the Radio by performing vertical scanning, until you find a maximum reception level. Provided that a maximum has effectively been detected during the previous pointing, several cases are possible depending on the maximum position in the reception curve (see figure 40):
58/90
Note : The following cases are treated for the vertical scanning (site), they are also valid for the horizontal scanning (azimuth). Case 1 (figure 42): only one wide maximum is found throughout the vertical scanning. Thus the RT is aligned with respect to the 6_ deviation limit allowed. Then slightly move the RT horizontally (by less than 6_) to the BS. Perform again vertical scanning.
Only one maximum is found: the received signal curve follows one of the side lobes > pointing to be continued The double arrow symbolizes the vertical scanning
Figure 42 Vertical scanning: case 1 Case 2 (figure 43): only two remote maxima have been found throughout vertical scanning. Then adjust the vertical position so that the reception level is at the minimum between both maxima. Horizontally move the RT until the main lobe is found, as shown in figure 43.
Two maxima are detected: the received signal curve follows both side lobes > pointing to be continued
Schematization of the pointing to be performed
Figure 43 Vertical scanning: case 2 Case 3 (figure 44): three maxima have been found throughout vertical scanning, including one maximum of higher level (main lobe). Then move the RT so that it matches the central maximum. Use the potentiometer to distinguish both maximum types by varying the received signal sensitivity and thus confirm that the pointing effectively corresponds to the main lobe (maximum of higher level). Slightly adjust the vertical and horizontal positions until the maximum main lobe level is reached. RT alignment with the base station is then correct.
Three maxima are detected: the received signal curve follows both sidelobes and the main lobe > pointing to be adjusted to the maximum of the main lobe (point M)
Figure 44 Vertical scanning: case 3
59/90
Note : If no maximum is detected throughout vertical scanning, it means that the horizontal reception maximum is lost, the horizontal position is not located within the 6_ deviation range. Then horizontally move the RT to the BS so that a maximum is found and vertically scan again to find one of the 3 previously described cases. Make sure you observe the conditions of case 3 before performing the following step to complete the pointing.
End of pointing
Once alignment is completed: Tighten the azimuth screws using the Allen key, then the elevation screws (marks 1 and 2, figure 41).
TORQUE VALUE MUST BE 9 TO 10 m.N. USE A TORQUE WRENCH. 3. Make sure the maximum reception signal is always found. Completely lock the mechanical assembly preventing the RT radio assembly from misaligning
Cabling according to standards Remove the tools and cables used for the RT commissioning and adjustment. On the Radio side, connect the RT/NT connection cable in accordance with the requirements indicated in paragraph 3.5. Screw up the stopper of catch BNO on the radio to allow the sealing of the radio. IMPORTANT NOTE: IT IT MANDATORY TO OBSERVE THE REQUIREMENTS IN PARAGRAPH (3.5) ENSURING RT/NT CABLE WATERTIGHTNESS (THERMOSHRINKABLE SLEEVE) AND ATTACHMENT (CLIPS).

4.3
Commissioning the NT
Note : To carry out the following phases of the Terminal Station commissioning, the link Base Station must be operational and its antenna correctly orientated. Considerations Before commissioning the NT unit, complete the RT unit adjustment procedures. No adjustment is required for commissioning the NT. To check the voltage at the mains connector terminals, use a measuring instrument (voltmeter). For the mains connection, use only the connection cable supplied with the equipment. Never use an extension cable for connecting the NT unit to the power source.
Stages (Figure 45) 1. 2. 3. 4. Connect the RT/NT connection cable. Use ref. 1 connector. To ground the NT unit in this way, carry out the procedures described in Chapter 3. Use the lug and screw hardware supplied with the equipment, ref. 7. Check that the mains socket to which the NT is to be connected supplies voltage compliant with the equipment characteristics and that it is fitted with an earth. (ref. 5) For NCAxxx: connect the NT connection cable to the NT connector and then to the mains 5. For NGAxxx: connect the 48V cable to the HE153 connector, then to the 48V arrival.
Powerup the NT unit using the On/Off switch (ref. 6); the green Power on LED (ref. 3) lights up. The red Alarm LED (ref. 4) lights up (searching for the carrier frequency) then flashes at different rates according to the current phase: slow flashing: automatic scanning over the frequencies, fast flashing: frame recovery (authentication by the serial number) once the frequency is found.

Initiating services
Once RT and NT are installed and in operational status, service initiation requires a further step: the Base Station operator must activate the crossconnections (see User Manual 3CC11771 AAAA TQ BJB Base Station Client Services and 6.2 of the present document).
4.6
Filling in the installation sheet
The installation sheet (Appendix A.1) is initially issued by Radio Planning. It contains all the data needed by the installer for successful programming of the RT. The installer must complete this sheet by supplying the requested information, in particular the serial numbers of the installed equipment, then submit it to the supervisor. The information in the sheet ensures the traceability of the customer installation equipment, to facilitate subsequent interventions. The sheet should be signed by the client and the installer. It allows with the customer, the effective commissionings to be validated. The sheet consists of three parts: 9900 RT installation sheet, 9900 NT installation sheet 9900 RT/NT connections sheet.
4.6.1 9900 RT installation sheet

This part contains all the information necessary for the configuration. The installer must have this information to configure the radio part (see 4.2.4.1). For each parameter to be entered according to the Radio Planning, the installer must if appropriate indicate the real input value if this differs from the value on the sheet. He must also provide the following information: site and operator coordinates.
4.6.2 NT installation sheet

This sheet is to be completed for each NT in the installation, by filling in the requested information.
4.6.3 RT/NT wiring sheet

The installer must fill in, in this part, all the information relating to the wiring and to the equipment used for carrying out the assembly. In addition, a wiring diagram is to be drawn up.
64/90
5 Operation and maintenance

5.1
9900 system supervision
The system operator receives the alarms sent by the network equipment. With the aid of the the 9900LT software applications, the operator can view and analyze the alarms and trigger the appropriate operations (see specific procedures below). On detection of a fault, the operator analyzes alarms and starts the suitable maintenance actions.
5.2
Preventive maintenance
This maintenance is carried out, either during a corrective maintenance inspection, or during a periodic inspection, on all station equipment. It consists in inspecting the units and their interconnections (connectors, cables, sockets, etc.) and ensuring that the environment of the Indoor Units (NTs and RTs) complies with installation requirements (see section 3). It is essential to check connectors and splitters state with earthing. In case of doubt, the suspect parts should be checked, taking all precautions to avoid interrupting link data transmission.
5.3
Corrective maintenance
DO NOT OPEN THE EQUIPMENT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
Corrective maintenance is carried out with the use of the programs of the 9900 LT software To use the alarms refer to section Alarms of the Base Station User Manual, ref.: 3CC11771AAAA TQ BJB.
5.4
Changing a faulty NT unit
$
Make sure that the network manager has deleted the NT to be replaced beforehand and declared the new one, using the 9900LT software. Stages 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Turn off NT unit power. Disconnect the mains cable connecting the NT unit to the power source. Disconnect all cables connected to the NT unit to be changed. Change NT unit after checking that the characteristics coincide (number of inputs, impedance, etc.). Reconnect NT unit cables. Connect the NT power cable to the mains supply. Power up NT unit. Wait for Power on LED to light up. Wait for flashing of Alarm LED. The NT unit is in operation once the LED is extinguished.
10. Check the absence of alarms in the 9900LT software application (see section Alarms of the Base Station User Manual ref.3CC11771AAAA). 11. Update the station installation sheet (appendix A.1).

Replacing an NIT fuse

Set the ON/OFF switch of the NIT unit at OFF. Disconnect the mains cable.
The 6.3 x 32 cartridge type 1A fuse is accessible by unscrewing the fuse cover. (T 1A L 220V: Feeble current time delay fuse, 1 A, Nominal voltage = 220 V)
66/90
6 Changes of configuration
The changes to the transmission network may require changes to the equipment configurations in order to meet new requirements. The A9900 equipment is likely to satisfy these changes either by modifying just the equipment software configuration or by physically modifying the equipment and its configuration. The supervisor must be informed of any configuration changes. These changes may involve either changes of configuration using the 9900LT software, or changes of configuration with physical intervention on the equipment. The possible changes using the 9900LT software only are: declaration/removal/reset of an NT terminal (cf. 6.1), implementation of client services (cf. 6.2).
The possible changes with physical intervention are: addition/removal of an NT unit (cf. 6.1), changing an NT unit (cf. 5.4), changing an RT unit (cf. 6.3), addition of an NT to a cluster (cf. 6.4), affectation of an NT unit to another BS (cf. 6.5).
6.1
Declaration, deletion, reset of an NT

carry out installation (refer to Chapter 3) and commissioning (refer to Chapter 4) of the NT, to declare the new NT terminal, execute the commands indicated in section Declaring a new NT of the Base Station User Manual (ref. 3CC11771AAAA TQ).
To add a new NT : update the Installation information sheet required for station installation (refer to Annex A.1),
To delete a NT from the network: update the Installation information sheet required for station installation (refer to Annex A.1), execute the commands indicated in section NT deletion of the Base Station User Manual (ref. 3CC11771AAAA TQ), turn off power to unit using ON/OFF switch (reference 6 of figure 45).

6.2
Implementation of client services
To implement client services : execute the commands indicated in section Client services of the Base Station User Manual (ref. 3CC11771AAAA TQ), Note : The system benefits from E1 or IP links. For each case, use the specific procedure. if necessary, update the Installation information sheet (refer to Annex A.1).
6.3
Changing an RT
$
When changing the RT, as needs to be done in the event of a change to the frequency band on the Base Station, it is necessary to carry out antenna alignment (tracking) and reinitialisation of the radio part configuration. To change the RT: turn off the mains supply to the NT, disconnect the mains cable, disconnect the RT/NT link cable, carry out installation of the RT unit and tracking of the Terminal Station antenna. For this, refer to Chapter 3. restart the Terminal Station. For this, refer to Chapter 4. reconfigure the system according to the procedures in Chapter 4. For system initialisation and retrofit, refer to section NT Supervision of the Base Station User Manual (ref. 3CC11771AAAA TQ).
6.4
Adding an NT to a cluster
6.4.1 Case of a prewired installation

In the case of a prewired installation, for which an extension has been envisaged, the cables are already pulled, the distribution frames and repeaters are already in place and there are load modules filling the free NT locations. To add an NT to a cluster: remove the load module, connect the NT in place of the load module, follow the procedure for adding an NT described in 6.1. Note : There is no service interruption and, furthermore, it is not necessary to reconfigure the radio parameters of the RT.
6.4.2 Case of a nonprewired installation

Where extension has not been envisaged, the repeaters and distribution frames must be wired, leading to an interruption of services. Once wiring has been carried out: follow the procedure for adding an NT described in 6.1, reconfigure the RT radio parameters as described in 4.2.4. Note : You are recommended, with a view to possible future MultiNT use, to wire as for MultiNT on first installation. This means that it will not be necessary to reset the RT, so avoiding the interruption of services.
68/90
6.5
Affectation of an NT to another BS
$
To change the Base Station on a Terminal Station: delete the NT in the BS with the 9900LT software beforehand (cf. 6.1), declare the NT in the new BS with the 9900LT software, turn off the mains supply to the NT unit, carry out tracking of the Terminal Station antenna. For this, refer to Chapter 3. restart the Terminal Station. For this, refer to Chapter 4. reconfigure the system according to the procedures in Chapter 4. For system initialisation and retrofit, refer to section NT supervision of the Base Station User Manual (ref. 3CC11771AAAA TQ).
