Chapter 1: Installation
General
This guide provides installation procedures for FibeAir RFU-C:
About FibeAir RFU-C

RFU-C is a state-of-the-art Radio Frequency Unit which is fully software configurable and supports a broad
range of capacities and interfaces.
The RFU supports low to high capacities for traditional voice and Ethernet services, as well as
PDH/SDH/SONET or hybrid Ethernet and TDM interfaces.
This innovative platform uses an “on-the-fly” upgrade method, whereby network operators only buy capacity as
needed, benefiting from savings on initial investments and OPEX.
Traffic capacity throughput and spectral efficiency are optimized with the desired channel bandwidth. For
maximum user choice flexibility, channel bandwidths can be selected together with a range of modulations of
from QPSK to 256 QAM.
High spectral efficiency is ensured using the same bandwidth for double the capacity, via two carriers, with
vertical and horizontal polarizations. This feature is implemented by a built-in XPIC mechanism.
RFU-C works together with two types of indoor units. For PDH/SDH/SONET, the RFU works with the FibeAir
1500R indoor unit. For Ethernet, RFU-C works with the FibeAir IP-10 indoor unit. Together, FibeAir RFU-C
and FibeAir 1500R/IP-10 IDUs provide a powerful, reliable, and comprehensive solution for a variety of
wireless network scenarios and requirements.
RFU-C works with:
FibeAir 1500R FibeAir IP-10

RFU-C operating in co-channel dual polarization (CCDP) mode, using the cross polarization interference
canceller (XPIC) algorithm, two carriers signals can be transmitted over a single channel, using vertical and
horizontal polarization. This enables double capacity in the same spectrum bandwidth.
Required Tools
The following tools are required for the RFU-C installation:
Socket key wrench metric set
Adjustable wrench

Site Acceptance Checklist Notes

The following notes provide important additional information about the Site Acceptance Checklist.
1. Antenna Mounting
Mounting pole is of sufficient height to clear local obstructions, such as parapets, window cleaning
gantries, and lift housings.
Mounting Pole is of sufficient height, and is safely positioned, so as not to cause a safety hazard. No
person should be able to walk in front of, or look directly into the path of the microwave radio beam.
Where possible, the pole should be away from the edge of the building.
Mounting pole is secure and perpendicular. A pole that is not perpendicular may cause problems
during antenna alignment.
Mounting pole is grounded as per site specifications. All operators and site owners have specific
requirements regarding the grounding of installations. As a minimum, typical requirements are such
that any metal structure must be connected to the existing lightning protection ground of the building.
Where it extends beyond the 45 degree cone of protection of existing lightning conductors, additional
lightning protectors should be installed.
All steelwork is Galvanized or Stainless Steel, as appropriate to prevent corrosion.

2. Antenna
Antenna is grounded as per site specifications. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting section
above.
Antenna sway braces are fitted and installed correctly, where applicable. Typically, for an antenna of
1.2 m or larger, an extra sway brace is fitted to the mounting frame of the antenna. This sway brace
should not be mounted to the same pole as the antenna, but should be installed directly back to the
tower or an alternative point.
Antenna Water Drain Plugs are fitted and removed, where appropriate. Some antennas have moisture
drain plugs installed at various points around the antenna. The purpose of these plugs is to allow any
moisture that forms on the inside of the antenna or radome to drip out and prevent a pool within the
antenna. Only the plugs at the bottom of the antenna, after installation, should be removed. All other
plugs should be left in position.
3. RFU (Radio Frequency Unit)
The RFU is grounded as per installation instructions. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting
section above.
The RFU polarization is as per link requirements and matches the polarization of the antenna.
4. Indoor Unit
The main traffic connections are correctly terminated and crimped as per cable and connector
manufacturer instructions. All fiber optic patch leads should be routed carefully and efficiently, using
conduits to prevent damage to the cables.
All other user terminations are secure and correctly terminated.
All labeling is complete as per site requirements. Labeling is specific to each customer. At a site with
only one installation, labeling may be unnecessary. However, at sites with multiple installations,
correct and adequate labeling is essential for future maintenance operations.
Typical labeling requirements include:
Antenna labels - for link identity and bearing
RFU labels - for link identity, frequency, and polarization
Coax cable labels - for link identity, close to the RFU, IDU, and either end of any joint
IDU labels - for link identity

2+0 XPIC Commissioning Procedure
Scope
This section describes the recommended commissioning tests for a FibeAir RFU-C radio link in a 2+0 XPIC
Co-Channel-Dual-Polarization configuration.
Important! Since operation of the XPIC system depends on correct installation, make sure the guidelines for
XPIC system installation provided below are followed correctly.
XPIC Installation Guidelines
Antenna and RFU Installation
1. Install the dual polarization antenna and point it in the direction of the other site.
2. Install the two RFUs on a dual polarization antenna using the appropriate mounting kit, and mark the
RFUs with V and H respectively.
IDU-RFU Cable Installation
1. Install two cables between the RFUs and the drawers (IDMs). Note that cable length difference should
not exceed 10 meters.
2. Mark the cables with V and H respectively, and make sure V is connected to the right drawer and H is
connected to the left drawer.
3. Mark the drawers respectively.
Antenna Alignment
1. Power up drawer V on both ends of the link and configure it to the desired frequency channel and
maximum power.
2. Align the antennas, one at a time, until expected RSL is achieved. Make sure the achieved RSL is no
more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.
Polarization Alignment
Polarization alignment is required to verify that the antenna feeds are adjusted, to ensure that the antenna
XPD (Cross Polarization Discrimination) is achieved.
Polarization adjustment should be done on one antenna only.

1. Power up drawer V on both ends of the link and record the RSL reading on one end.
2. Power off drawer V on that end and power on drawer H.

3. Check the RSL obtained on this RFU on H pol, and compare it to the RSL obtained by the RFU
installed on the V pol.
4. Verify that XPI (Cross Polarization Interference) is at least 25 dB
where:
XPI = RSLPOL − RSLXPOL

RSLPOL → Link RSL with thesamepolarization used at both sites.
RSLXPOL → Link RSL with orthogonalpolarizations used at both sites.
5. If XPI is less than 25 dB, adjust the feed polarization by opening the polarization screw and gently
rotating the feed to minimize the RSLXPOL.
Note that polarization alignment is not always possible since the RSLXPOL may fall below the
sensitivity threshold of the RFU.
It is also recommended to try to maximize the XPI as much as possible, by aligning the polarization.
XPIC Commissioning Tests
Individual Link Verification
Before operating in XPIC configuration, each of the links (V and H) should be commissioned individually in
order to verify its proper operation.
1 Power up only drawer V at both ends and verify its frequency channel and Tx power configuration.
2 Verify that the RSL is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.
3 Run BER stability test on the link for at least 15 minutes to ensure error-free operation.
4 Power up only drawer H at both ends and verify its frequency channel and Tx power configuration.
5 Verify that the RSL is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.
6 Run BER stability test on the link for at least 15 minutes to ensure error-free operation.
XPIC Configuration Verification
1 Using the XPIC cable, connect the two RFUs at each end to the TNC connectors. Make sure
the cable is no longer than 3 meters.
2 Configure the drawers to work in XPIC mode.
3 Verify that the RSL at all four RFUs is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.
4 Verify that no alarms exist (if a 155 Mbps line is connected).
5 Run BER stability test on each of the 155 Mbps links for at least 1 hour to ensure error-free
operation.
Note: In a 2+2 configuration, repeat each step above for each of the four coupled RFU combinations.

XPIC Recovery Verification
In order to verify XPIC operation, simulate the faults described below.
1 Disconnect the IDU-RFU cable for each of the drawers (one at a time), and verify that the other
link is operating.
2 Disconnect the XPIC cable and check that the relevant alarms are generated.
3 Power down each of the drawers and verify that the other link is operating.
4 Swap the V and H cables and check that the relevant alarm is generated.
5 Mute and then un-mute one RFU at a time and verify that the other link is operating.
Note: In a 2+2 configuration, repeat each step above for each of the four coupled RFUs connected to the two
standby IDUs.
2+2 Verification
Perform the tests specified in Switching Tests in the 1+1 Commissioning Procedure section earlier in this
guide.
In this case, the switch will be from a main IDU connected to the main V and main H RFUs, to the
secondary IDU connected to the coupled V and coupled H RFUs.

FibeAir RFU-C Commissioning Log
The Commissioning Log is an integral part of the commissioning procedure and should be filled in for each
installed link.
The Commissioning Log gathers all relevant information regarding the installed link and contains a checklist
of all recommended commissioning tests.
Maintaining the Commissioning Log is important for tracking your installations, and to provide essential
data for Ceragon Networks.
Upon completing the Commissioning Log, send the log to Ceragon support center at support@ceragon.com.
