European Union (EU) Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive
The European Union’s WEEE directive requires that products sold into EU countries must have the crossed out trashbin label on the product (or the package
in some cases).
As defined by the WEEE directive, this cross-out trashbin label means that customers and end-users in EU countries should not dispose of electronic and
electrical equipment or accessories in household waste.
Customers or end-users in EU countries should contact their local equipment supplier representative or service centre for information about the waste collection
system in their country.
CMM labeling and disclosure table
The People’s Republic of China requires that Motorola’s products comply with
China Management Methods (CMM) environmental regulations. (China
Management Methods refers to the regulation Management Methods for
Controlling Pollution by Electronic Information Products.) Two items are used to
demonstrate compliance; the label and the disclosure table.
The label is placed in a customer visible position on the product.
• Logo 1 means that the product contains no substances in excess of the
maximum concentration value for materials identified in the China
Management Methods regulation.
• Logo 2 means that the product may contain substances in excess of the
maximum concentration value for materials identified in the China
Management Methods regulation, and has an Environmental Friendly
Use Period (EFUP) in years, fifty years in the example shown.
Logo 1 Logo 2
The Environmental Friendly Use Period (EFUP) is the period (in years) during
which the Toxic and Hazardous Substances (T&HS) contained in the Electronic
Information Product (EIP) will not leak or mutate causing environmental pollution
or bodily injury from the use of the EIP. The EFUP indicated by the Logo 2 label
applies to a product and all its parts. Certain field-replaceable parts, such as
battery modules, can have a different EFUP and are marked separately.
The Disclosure Table is intended only to communicate compliance with China
requirements; it is not intended to communicate compliance with EU RoHS or any
other environmental requirements.

This chapter provides an overview of the Motorola TETRA Station (MTS). This should give you an
overview of what MTSs are, what they do, and the modules that they are comprised of.
The MTS is one type of Base Station that can be used in a Dimetra IP communication system. A
Base Station serves as the Radio Frequency (RF) interface between the system infrastructure and the
mobile stations. Base Stations in a trunked system have three primary interfaces:
• A receiver to pick up the RF signal from the mobile stations
• A transmitter to send RF signals to the mobile stations
• A wireline interface to send audio and control traffic to the system infrastructure
Strategically placed base stations allow users to communicate with one another, dispatch
operators or telephone users using the Dimetra IP system.
This chapter includes the following topics:
• "MTS Platform"
• "MTS 2 Components"
• "MTS 4 Components"
• "Expansion Cabinet Components"
• "MTS Modules"

MTS Platform Chapter 1: MTS Overview
MTS Platform
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
The MTS provides the interface between the mobile stations within the Dimetra IP system and
the rest of the system infrastructure. The main functions of the MTS are:
• Radio link formatting, coding, timing, framing, and error control
• Timing control supervision to mobile stations (Timing Advance)
• Radio link quality measurements (Signal Quality Estimate)
• Site to site frame synchronization
• Interface translation - radio link to network equipment
• Switching functions between multiple base transceivers (radio carriers)
• Air Interface Encryption
• Local Site Trunking
• Operation, maintenance, and administration agent
There are two different versions of MTS:

• MTS 2
• MTS 4
MTS 2 is the smaller of the two versions and supports one to two Base Radios. MTS 4 is the larger of the
two versions, and with the expansion cabinet installed, it supports one to eight Base Radios.
MTS 2 and MTS 4 are built up inside cabinets. The MTS cabinets comprise card cages (the same card
cage is used in both MTS 2 and MTS 4), which in turn house different configurations of modules, for
example, Power Supply Units, Base Radios, and Site Controllers. These modules provide the MTS's
functionality. Different configurations and number of modules determine the MTS's functionality and
capacity. Each of these modules is described in more detail in this manual.
The MTSs are managed by the system infrastructure's Network Management (NM) applications.
Communication between the MTSs and the NM applications takes place through an X.21 or E1
link. Through this link, the NM applications can download new configuration files to the MTSs
and receive alarm/event and performance statistics from them.
For information regarding network management configuration of the MTS, please refer to the MTS
Site Object sections of the Zone Configuration Manager manual and Online Help.
The two versions of MTS are, in general, very similar in terms of functionality and the
modules that they are comprised of. However, there are a number of important differences
between them, which are highlighted in appropriate sections of this document.

MTS Modules Chapter 1: MTS Overview
MTS Modules
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
Each MTS is comprised of a number of modules. Some of these modules in turn are comprised of
subcomponents. This section provides an overview of each of the available modules and their subcomponents.
RF Distribution System
The RF Distribution System (RFDS) module has the following subcomponents:
• Preselector (MTS2 and MTS4 prime only)
• Duplexer (MTS2 and MTS4 prime only)
• Post Filter (MTS4 prime only)
• Cavity Combiners (CC) (MTS 4 and Expansion Cabinet only)
• Hybrid Combiner (HC) (MTS 2 and MTS 4 Prime Cabinet only)
• Rx Splitter (Expansion Cabinet Only)
MTS 2 and MTS 4 use different types of Preselector and Duplexer.
Preselector
The Preselector is a bandpass filter, which allows only the receiver signals to pass. For UHF, the filter’s
bandwidth is 5 MHz, and it is designed to block transmitter frequencies as close as 5 MHz from its band edges.
For 800 MHz, the filter’s bandwidth is 19 MHz. The Preselector incorporates a Receiver Multicoupler (RMC).
Duplexer
The Duplexer consists of two bandpass filters. One allows the transmitter signal to pass while the
other allows the receiver signal to pass. Both filters have a bandwidth of 5 MHz.
For UHF, the duplex spacing between a transmitter frequency and the corresponding receive frequency is
10 MHz, with the transmitter frequency being higher. This leaves a 5 MHz spacing between the lowest
possible transmit frequency and the highest possible receive frequency. For 800 MHz, the duplex spacing
between a transmitter frequency and the corresponding receive frequency is 45 MHz.
The Duplexer incorporates both an RMC and a Digital Power Meter (DPM).
1-8 6802800U74-N September 2009

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual Post Filter
Post Filter
The Post Filter supports non-duplexed configurations and incorporates a DPM.
A Post Filter is only available for the MTS 4 as the MTS 2 does not support
non-duplexed configurations.
Cavity Combiners
There are two types of Cavity Combiner (CC) available:
• Auto Tune Cavity Combiners (ATCC)
• Manual Tune Cavity Combiners (MTCC)
MTCCs are functionally the same as ATCCs except that they are tuned
manually instead of electronically.
MTS 2 does not support Cavity Combiners.

Minimum channel spacing of the TX channels is 150 kHz while the recommended channel spacing is 250 kHz.
Hybrid Combiner
The Hybrid Combiner (HC) combines up to two transmitters, and covers a frequency
range of 350 MHz to 470 MHz.
The combiner has no limitations in respect to channel spacing of the TX channels. However for
frequency planning and interference reasons, at least 50 kHz is recommended.
Rx Splitter
The RX splitter is a passive device, receiving the signal from the Expansion Out connector of the Duplexer/Pre-
selector in the MTS 4 Prime Cabinet and then distributes it to the Base Radios in the MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet.
Site Controller
The Site Controller (SC) controls resources within the base station, including assignment of frequencies
and slots to mobile stations. The Site Controller incorporates a Global Positioning System (GPS),
which receives signals that are used to develop high-precision system timing signals.
The Site Controller communicates with the Base Radio(s) through the 100Base-T Ethernet interface.
It also communicates with the network through an X.21 or E1 link.
6802800U74-N September 2009 1-9

XHUB Chapter 1: MTS Overview
XHUB
The eXpansion HUB (XHUB) is a non-intelligent switching and interface module, which plugs into
the Site Controller slot of an MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet. It is connected through the Expansion
Cab output of the Site Controller to the Prime Cab connector of the XHUB.
Base Radio (BR)

The Base Radio (BR) module contains the following sub-components:
• Transceiver
• Power Amplifier (PA)
Transceiver
The transceiver provides the BR's transmission, receiving, signal processing, and modulation functions. To do
this, the transceiver incorporates a Base Radio Controller (BRC), Receiver (RCV), and Exciter (EXC).
The BRC serves as the main controller of the Base Radio. The BRC provides signal processing
and operational control for the other Base Radio modules.
Power Amplifier
The Power Amplifier (PA), in conjunction with the Exciter, provides the transmitter functions
for the Base Radio. The PA accepts the low-level modulated RF signal from the exciter and
amplifies the signal for transmission through the RF output connector.
Power Supply Unit

Depending on the configuration, the MTS is equipped with one or two Power Supply Units (PSUs).
The PSU permits operation of the MTS in any of the following configurations:
• DC power supply
• AC power supply
• AC power supply with a DC backup battery
Backup Battery
The PSU handles the automatic switchover to a backup battery in the event of an AC power supply
failure. The MTS charges the backup battery during normal AC operation. A temperature sensor
monitors the backup battery’s temperature to ensure optimum charging.

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual Cooling Fans
The recommended batteries to be used are a Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) recombination
type, with -48 VDC nominal. Such as Enersys Power safe VFT type.
Cooling Fans
One or more fan modules generate an airflow through the MTS cabinets to manage their
temperature. Each module is comprised of two fans. Revolution of the fans is monitored by a
sensor. In the event of a failure, an alarm will be generated.
Low power configurations of the MTS 2 can be operated without cooling fans.

6802800U74-N September 2009 3-1

Site Survey Chapter 3: Site Preparation
Site Survey
The site must be carefully inspected or surveyed using appropriate site survey forms
before orders are placed for the equipment.
A technical representative from both the customer and the site owner should preferably be
in attendance for total concurrence at a single given time.
In order to minimize any misunderstandings, which may arise in the future, the survey report should be approved
by all the attendees at the site survey. The site survey should address all relevant issues involving the MTS
site installation. All involved parties should be in agreement on all of the issues before any work commences.
The site survey issues typically include the following items:
• The potential location of the MTS Cabinet, size of the equipment room, and
the doorway or access into it. Access around the MTS shall include adequate
clearance for cabinet front door opening.
• Verifying the suitability of the existing heating-ventilation-air conditioning (HVAC)
and other environmental criteria in relation to the MTS equipment (see Table 3-5,
"Typical Power Loads and Heat Dissipation Values - Expansion Cabinet UHF
Configuration," on page 3-17, later in this chapter).
• The power requirements for the site.
• A check of the history of local voltage and frequency variations together with the
possibility of interruptions of the supply to the site.
• The stand-by power requirements for the site.
• The location of the mains power distribution.
• The location of the network terminating unit (NTU) for the X.21 or E1 leased line.
• The location of telephone connections.
• The location of the building earth and the tower earth.
• Inspection/Test of the building and tower earth.
• The suitability, space availability, and location of the cable entry point into the equipment room.
• The suitability and location of the existing lightning arrestors.
• The suitability, space availability, and location of the existing cable tray or ladder rack between
the equipment room and the antenna tower or the antenna system support structure.
• Checking the cable access route into the equipment room.
• Identifying the type of tower and the type of structure on which the GPS antenna will be mounted.
3-2 6802800U74-N September 2009

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual Site Considerations
Site Considerations
The MTS site building should be designed to meet the requirements of any and all local building
codes, and relevant regulations, applicable to the site location.
Motorola recommends the following considerations when selecting a site:
• For front access, stations allow only a minimum of 80 cm for access.
• The ceiling structure should be able to support a cable tray assembly for routing
the inter-cabinet cabling and other site cabling. The cable tray assembly is
mounted to the site ceiling and walls per site plan.
• Check the room door dimensions to ensure that the MTS cabinet can pass through:
◦ MTS 2 cabinet transported on wooden pallet needs 86 cm width/without
wooden pallet 59 cm
◦ MTS 4 cabinet transported on wooden pallet needs 86 cm width/without
wooden pallet 68 cm
• The operating temperature of the MTS is:
◦ MTS 2 400 MHz without fans: -30 °C to +55 °C
◦ MTS 2 400 MHz with fans: -30 °C to +60 °C
◦ MTS 2 800 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +60 °C
Therefore the site interior temperature must be maintained within these limits. Maintaining a
stable, moderate site temperature is the best approach for long term reliability of the equipment.
• It is suggested that a mains socket outlet is available adjacent to the MTS for the powering of
test equipment. This mains outlet must be on the same electrical phase as the MTS supply.
• If sited close to a railway track, the MTS must be installed at least 3m from the center of the track.
Proper surge protection should be installed on E1/X.21 site links, all antennas, and power
inputs to prevent potential damage to the MTS. Please refer to "Surge Arrestors and Suppliers"
section in Appendix A, "Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)" for more information.

Environmental Considerations
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
Environmental considerations cover the following topics:

• "Temperature"
• "Humidity"
• "Corrosive Environment"
• "Air Quality"
Temperature
The environment in which the MTS operates is an important consideration. The temperature should be
regulated to ensure trouble-free operation. Excessive temperatures result in generated heat that may
reduce the life-span of the electronic equipment, and could cause permanent damage.
It is recommended that the ambient temperature (at the air inlet) does not exceed 35 ºC in normal operating
conditions. For exceptional conditions, the ambient temperature must not be allowed to exceed:
• 55 ºC: MTS 2 400 MHz (without fans)
• 55 ºC: MTS 4 800 MHz
• 60 ºC: MTS 2 400 MHz (with fans)
• 60 ºC: MTS 4 400 MHz
• 60 ºC: MTS 2 800 MHz (always with fans)
The low power MTS 2 cabinet uses passive convection cooling. Fan modules may be added
where high ambient temperatures are experienced or operation at high altitude is necessary.
Keep attention that no other objects are covering the topside grilles and
leaves at least 20 cm of clearance above the cabinet(s).
Humidity
For humidity, MTS complies with ETSI norm EN300 019 1–3 Class 3.2.
At 30 ºC, the relative humidity within the site should be between 5% and 95% non-condensing.
6802800U74-N September 2009 3-13

Corrosive Environment Chapter 3: Site Preparation
Corrosive Environment
The equipment should not be directly exposed to corrosive environments. If the equipment
site is located in a coastal environment, proper air filtration for the site should be in place
to protect the equipment from salt mist contamination.
Air Quality
For cabinet-mounted equipment operating in an area, which is not environmentally controlled, the airborne
particulates level must not exceed concentration defined in ETSI norm EN300 019 1–3 Class 3.
Salt mist like sea salt and road salt excluded and shall always be avoided.
Electrical Requirements
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
All electrical wiring for the MTS site must meet the requirements of any
and all applicable local codes and regulations.
Any device (that is power supply) providing isolation between the AC mains
and the MTS must provide reinforced insulation to hazardous voltages. The
DC power source providing power to the MTS shall comply with requirements
specified for a safety extra low voltage circuit (SELV) per EN60950.

If other codes and practices are beneficial please refer to your local standards.
AC and DC Power Supplies

The MTS cabinet is equipped with a high efficiency switch mode Power Supply Unit (PSU).
Operating modes are as follows:
• DC only operation (within -41 VDC to -60 VDC)
• AC only operation (within 90 VAC to 264 VAC; 45 Hz to 66 Hz)
• AC operation (within 90 VAC to 264 VAC; 45 Hz to 66 Hz) and switch over
to DC backup operation when AC failed
The PSU handles the automatic switch over to a backup battery in the event of AC mains failure.
An external disconnect device and appropriate 20A fuse are re-

quired on the DC power supply line.
If the DC input on the station is connected to back up batteries, an external Low

Voltage Disconnect (LVD) device should be introduced directly in the power line
in order to protect the batteries against deep discharge. On the MTS2, one relay
6802800U74-N September 2009 3-15

Service Current Rating Chapter 3: Site Preparation
rated min. 20 A/55 VDC should be introduced. And for the MTS4, two of these
units should be used, one for each of the two incoming DC lines. Alternatively
for the MTS4, one relay rated 40 A/55 VDC can be used if the two DC lines are
connected to one battery pack. The relays should be controlled in a way that they
disconnect the batteries once the voltage drops below 40.5 V, where the PSU in
the MTS shuts down. Two Motorola kits are available for this purpose:
• MTS2 LVD RELAY RETROFIT KIT (Kit Number: GMDN2206A)
Service Current Rating

The input current rating of the DC power supply equipment shall be considered
when selecting the AC main service.
The DC power system has normal loads and start-up loads. These loads are dependent on the number
of Base Radios in the site and the size and condition of the backup battery system. The normal
load of a typical power system is provided in Table 3-4 for several common MTS configurations
using battery backup. Table 3-5 lists typical power loads and heat dissipation values for Expansion
Cabinets. These loads may differ for the customer designed power systems.

• Directly to the floor using the mounting brackets
• Using the mounting plate
MTS 2, MTS 4, and the Expansion Cabinet all have four mounting holes for leveling feet. However, the
position of the holes is not identical for the cabinets due to the stability of the different size cabinets.
Maintenance can generally be achieved using front access. Top access is required
for connecting the external services.
6802800U74-N September 2009 4-1

Personnel Considerations Chapter 4: Hardware Installation
The procedures described in this chapter assume the field technician or installer has knowledge of the
installation
techniques contained in the Motorola Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites, R56 manual.
Guidelines for Communications Sites, R56 manual.
Prior to performing the installation procedures, the site has to be prepared with all associated
antennas, communications lines, and other related site equipment.
In an MTS site, the term “cabinet” is a generic term used to refer to Fixed Network
Equipment (FNE) mounted in different types of frames. It does not refer in any
way to building electrical cabinets, outdoor utility cabinets, or some types of
equipment shelters commonly known as cabinets.
Personnel Considerations
The following personnel are typically required to install an MTS site:
• An installation supervisor.
• A minimum of two installers per MTS site. (Two installers could include the supervisor,
provided there are a minimum of two persons on each MTS site at all times.)
• A commissioning engineer (attends only during the commissioning stage).
Receipt of Equipment
Inspection of the MTS equipment must be performed as soon as all equipment is unpacked. Check
the MTS equipment against the itemized packing list to ensure that all equipment was received. If
available, check the sales order with the packing list to account for all equipment ordered. Contact
your Motorola representative to report the missing items and for additional information.
If obvious damage has occurred to the shipping containers before unpacking, contact the
shipping agent and ask that a representative of their company be present while the equipment
is unpacked. Then your Motorola representative should be informed.
Observe guidelines for safe handling of electrostatic sensitive devices or equipment
to prevent electrostatic damage.
An anti-static wrist strap should always be worn when handling any electrical component.
Please refer to Appendix C.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
Proper installation ensures the best possible performance and reliability of the MTS station.
Preinstallation planning is required. This includes considering the mounting location of the cabinet
in relation to input power, antennas, and telephone interfaces. Also, consider the site environment
conditions, the particular mounting method, and required tools and equipment.
The installation shall only be carried out after the following activities are completed:
• Antenna installation (including GPS antenna)
• New building earth (if required)
• The installation of the X.21 or E1 link (to the control centre) by the telephone line service provider
• The installation of the cable tray in the equipment room
• The increase in the capacity of the mains power supply (if required)
• The increase in the capacity of the stand-by mains power supply (if required)
• The completion of any civil works on the site (for example, new or modified
accommodation, new access road, and so on)
• The position in which each piece of equipment will be placed on the floor
has been marked and agreed
• Reinforcement of site floor to accommodate load of site equipment (if required)
• All the equipment has been delivered to site and placed in their final positions
by the transportation company
Proper surge protection should be installed on E1/X.21 site links, all antennas, and
power inputs to prevent potential damage to the MTS.

Cabinet Transportation Chapter 4: Hardware Installation
Cabinet Transportation
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
It is recommended that to move and locate all the equipments to the final position, a transportation
company specializing in the moving of heavy electronic equipment should be used.
Safety Considerations
Crush hazard could result in personal injury or equipment damage. MTS 2

cabinet with packaging can weigh up to 64 kg and MTS 4 cabinet with packaging
up to 170 kg. Follow instructions below when moving the cabinet.
Equipment racks should only be lifted without the use of lifting equipment when there are sufficient personnel
available to ensure that regulations covering Health and Safety are not breached. Motorola recommends the
use of appropriate powered mechanical lifting apparatus for moving and lifting the equipment racks. In
addition to these points, refer to and comply with any local regulations that govern the use of lifting equipment.
Moving the MTS 2 Cabinet

For MTS 2 cabinet, Motorola recommends the use of a sack trolley or appropri-
ate lifting straps for transportation.
A sack trolley will generally be used from the front of the MTS 2 as this allows it
to be moved into position. Protective padding or cardboard should be placed
between the MTS and the sack trolley to prevent equipment damage.
Lifting the MTS 4 and Expansion Cabinet

Use appropriate lifting apparatus to lift the racks complying with all applicable health and safety
regulations and any other regulations applicable to lifting heavy equipment.
If it is necessary to lift the equipment rack, use two (2) lifting brackets provided with the accessory
kit. Follow the instructions below to use them for cabinet lifting
1. Screw the lifting brackets to both sides of the MTS 4 cabinet. The holes are pre-drilled.
2. Use the three screws for each bracket.
3. The screws must be tightened to between 10-13.5 Nm (91-120 in-lbs) torque.
4-4 6802800U74-N September 2009

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual Lifting the MTS 4 and Expansion Cabinet
Before attempting to use, visually check the lifting brackets and associated rack hardware for
damage that may have occurred during transit. If any damage is apparent, contact Motorola for
replacement. Correct lifting bracket tightness and alignment are crucial to ensure that the lifting
bracket assembly will perform to its intended lifting capacity.
Both lifting brackets must be used when lifting the equipment rack. When lifting from a center
point, the distance measured between the lifting point and the top surface of the cabinet must be
minimum 350 mm to ensure that the proper lifting angle is maintained (see Figure 4-1). Using a
length shorter than that specified could cause the lifting brackets to fail.
Figure 4-1 Lifting Point for MTS 4 and Expansion Cabinet
If lifting brackets are removed or become loose, they must be properly installed before
they are used to lift the equipment rack.
When placing the MTS 4 cabinet back on the floor, it can be easily decided whether to put it
in the vertical (A) or horizontal (B) position, see Figure 4-2.

This section provides procedures for mounting the MTS cabinet within a site.

especially antenna cabling may require additional space. Allow at least 80 cm
of floor space in front of the cabinet(s) to permit access during installation.
Although all maintenance, expansion, cabling, and antenna connections can
be performed from the front or top. The required space towards the wall is
ensured by an integrated “spacer” on back of the cabinet.
The cabinet must be secured to the floor for optimum stability.
Cabinet Bracing Considerations

The MTS cabinet is self-supporting. In seismically active areas, additional bracing of the cabinet
could be required. However, the bracing hardware must be locally procured.
There are no specific procedures within this manual for bracing cabinets in active seismic areas.

The MTS Site Controller has an integrated GPS module and an option for a remote GPS module. The
selection is done by configuring MTS using the BTS Service Software (TESS).
The main purpose of the GPS module is to allow accurate absolute timing of less than ½ of a symbol
between adjacent base stations and to supply UTC (Universal Time Coordinate). Dimetra does not need the
functionality of measuring the cable delay at start-up. The Site Controller calculates the delay, no manual
calculation, or configuration is required, and supports connection to a remote GPS antenna that is 600 m away
or less. The cable delay if any will be configured by BTS Service Software (TESS). Default will be 0 ns.
The antenna/receiver must have a sufficiently clear view of the sky (10º above the horizon in all directions
without any obstructions) to be able to locate and track at least four satellites during initial power-up. The four
satellites (approx. 20183 km above earth) are used to establish a three dimensional fix (latitude, longitude, and
altitude) for the site. This process can take up to 30 minutes, but typically is completed in less than 5 minutes.
Once the position of the site has been established, the corresponding data is stored
in memory and normal operation resumes.

The ETSI standard allows two modes of operation of adjacent cells: Synchronized and Non-
Synchronized relative to the serving cell. The MTS uses GPS to synchronize to the same
time reference. For an adjacent cell to be indicated to be synchronized requires that both the
serving MTS and the adjacent cell are synchronized to GPS.
MTS can be configured through the BTS Service Software for two different operating
configurations, which control the synchronization mode:
• Automatic Synchronized Configuration (ASC)
This configuration is used to specify that the MTS should operate in synchronized mode
relative to GPS; however if the GPS reference is lost, the MTS continues to operate
in synchronized mode for a configurable period (free run time – no upper limit). It
should be noted that setting this value greater than the recommended values above may
mean the BTS is unable to maintain synchronisation and can result in call failures and
erratic network performance. If the GPS reference is not recovered in this time period,
the MTS switches to the non-synchronized mode. If an MTS is started when no GPS
reference is available, it operates in the non-synchronized mode.
Non-synchronized mode will not have optimized hand over performance. When operating in
non-synchronized mode, all the adjacent cells will be indicated as non-synchronized with
the MTS. By default the re-synchronization of MTS running non-synchronized is done
automatically whenever there is valid GPS reference signal and the site does not handle
traffic. Prolonged operation in non- synchronized mode will eventually lead to critical
alarms and the frequency accuracy of the MTS will no longer be guaranteed.
To maintain the frequency accuracy, it is necessary that the oscillator within the
MTS is periodically recalibrated. The periodic recalibration happens automatically
when a GPS reference is present. The critical alarms indicate that recalibration
is due and should be performed without delay.
• Forced Non-Synchronized Configuration (FNC)
FNC is not recommended for System Release D6.0. In this configuration, the MTS
will always operate non- synchronized to GPS. The failure or lack of GPS will not
be reported as an alarm. The sets of events that are reported in ASC and FNC modes
are the same, however the events reported in ASC mode with Minor severity, in
FNC mode are reported with lower – Normal severity.
The MTS starts up in non-synchronized mode regardless of the presence of a GPS signal.
However if GPS is present, the site reference is trained accordingly. Prolonged operation in this
configuration without GPS eventually leads to critical alarms and the frequency accuracy of the
MTS is no longer guaranteed. Frequency accuracy is expected to be maintained for 4 to 8 years.
To maintain the frequency accuracy, it is necessary that the oscillator within the MTS is
periodically recalibrated (every 8th year (UHF) or every 4th year (800 MHz)). The periodic
recalibration happens automatically when a GPS reference is present. If no GPS reference is
present, it is necessary to ship the Site Controller for calibration at a repair center. The critical
alarms indicate that recalibration is due and should be performed without delay.
It is possible to change configuration with BTS Service Software. The new
configuration will only be active after an MTS reset.
• NSC mode
This mode can be configured (for example, through TESS) for compatibility
reasons but will be treated as ASC.

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual Tracking Criteria
• Non-GPS / Non-Synchronized mode

The Non-GPS / Non-Synchronized mode introduced in System Release D6.1 guarantees
frequency accuracy of the site reference and the introduction of a Network Time Server (NTS)
using Network Time Protocol (NTM) allows the MTS to operate in non-synchronized mode
without being characterized as a malfunction and with accurate frequency and Network time.
When the BTS is GPS non-synchronized and without GPS and if a NTS is
available the NTP time shall be used to maintain and adjust frequency stability,
network time for UTD and timestamps for BTS log.
If GPS is not available and NTS are configured with IP address(es) the time derived
from NTP shall be used for UTD and time stamping of BTS logs.
Only if the selected NTS are of sufficient accuracy and the BTS is configured for
“Allow NTS frequency locking” shall the NTS be used for frequency locking of the
OCXO. The usability of the NTS shall be based on NTS alarm condition, Stratum,
Precision, root distance, reference ID and reference time.
If GPS is not available and NTS is configured and allowed for locking and the BTS cannot
establish the connection to the NTS or the NTS is not usable for a period of more than a
NTS_Free_Run_Timer the operator shall be informed the NTS is failing.
Tracking Criteria
To allow a system to successfully initialize for the first time at a new location, the Position
Dilution Of Position (PDOP) must be less than 2.0. A low PDOP value indicates a low error
(higher accuracy) in the position calculated by the GPS receiver.
PDOP is an accuracy factor, which is a function of the relative positions of the satellites. If the satellites being
tracked by the GPS receiver are within close relative proximity to each other, the resulting PDOP will be poor.
Conversely, if the satellites are relatively far from each other, PDOP will be improved. Because any error in
position results in a timing error in the BR transmission, the BRs are not allowed to key until the position error
is acceptably low. Therefore, a site with a large PDOP value may incur a delay when the site is first initialized.
It is essential that after FRU replacement or moving the Site Controller in some
other manner, the position memory is reset using MMI commands.
Excessive PDOP values may be the result of the GPS receiver not having an adequate “view” of
the sky to initially determine its position. Motorola recommends locating the antenna(s) such that
there are no PDOP values that exceed 10.0 for periods of more than 15 minutes. To maintain a
maximum reliability, four satellites should be tracked at all times.
The system must be capable of the following:
• Tracking a minimum of four satellites during initial start-up
• Sustaining PDOP less than 10
• Working in 3D fix mode for the most of the time

GPS Start Up Chapter 4: Hardware Installation
GPS Start Up
The times given below are from applying power to the system until GPS LED is solid green illuminating.
GPS startup is the significant contributing factor in determining system start up times.
Initial Start
This is the first time an MTS is powered on or after the almanac or position information
has been erased from non volatile memory (NVM). The site needs to locate 4 satellites and
then train the reference oscillator from an unknown state.
Warm Start
The MTS has been previously powered up and the non volatile memory contains valid almanac and
position information and the reference oscillator was trained prior to starting the site. The times
quoted are for a power-off restart. A software restart will be slightly faster.
Soft Restart
This is an MTS restart, where power is maintained during the reset, for example, the remote MTS
restart after software upgrade. The GPS receiver will continue to track satellites during the MTS
restart, thus eliminating the ‘search for satellites’ phase of start-up.
Table 4-2 GPS Start-up Time
Initial Start Normal Start Soft restart

Typical Maximum Typical Maximum Typical Maximum
10 Minutes 30 Minutes 4 Minutes 10 Minutes 90 Seconds 8 Minutes
If these start-up times are exceeded, then follow the procedures for GPS Site

Remote GPS Receiver Requirements Chapter 4: Hardware Installation
Remote GPS Receiver Requirements

The antenna must be mounted high enough to clear the peak of the MTS site roof. For systems in the
northern hemisphere, the remote GPS receiver should be mounted so that a clear view of the southern sky
is maintained. For systems in the southern hemisphere, the remote GPS receiver should be mounted so
that a clear view of the northern sky is maintained. The recommendation is to have view to the entire
sky if possible (10º above the horizon in all directions without any obstructions).
Isolate the remote GPS receiver from RF interference by mounting the antenna at least 3.7 m
(12 in.) horizontally from other transmitting antennas. For mounting and physical installation,
see instructions enclosed with the external GPS receiver head.
Remote GPS Receiver Cabling

The remote GPS (RGPS) receiver is connected to the junction panel using one of the three standardized cables
or a customer provided alternative. Standardized cables are terminated with a Deutsch connector (remote
GPS receiver site) and a metal shell 15-pin SubD connector (MTS site). The cable is supplied with an
additional SubD connector insert to allow the cable to be shortened and re- terminated where required.
The RGPS receiver cable has to be a shielded cable. The screen has to be grounded through the
metal shell of the D type connector. However, it is required for the cable screen to be connected
also to the site ground where the cable enters the building. This is similar to the grounding that
is applied to the RF cables. Please refer to R56 Guidelines and National Standards.

GPS Antenna Line Loss Chapter 4: Hardware Installation
Figure 4-50 GPS Antenna Connection on MTS 4 Junction Panel
GPS Antenna Line Loss

The maximum allowable line attenuation between the antenna and the Site Controller GPS
Receiver input is 6 dB. There is an additional 4 dB of attenuation for foliage. In a typical MTS
installation using 1/2 inch low density foam coaxial cable (or equivalent), the length of the cable
run should never exceed 46 m. This is sufficient for most installations.
When considering the use of longer cables, calculate the cable lengths allowing 4.5 dB
of loss at 1.5 GHz (the GPS receiver frequency). The remaining 1.5 dB of attenuation
is provided by interior site cabling and connectors.
Avoiding GPS Interference

High frequency radio waves, such as those broadcast by the GPS system behave like light (straight
lines) therefore it is likely that any long term interference will be ground based. Two strategies
have been successfully employed to mitigate against jamming signals:
• If possible, determine a location where adequate GPS signals are available using a hand
held receiver and move the Base station GPS antenna to this location.
• Construct a shield (Cardboard & Foil is adequate) to exclude the jamming signal. The shield
should be approximately 6 cm from the antenna body and should be connected to an earth point.

• MTS 2 - TX/RX on 1 ant., see Table 5-14 and Figure 5-14
• MTS 4 - TX on 1 ant., see Table 5-19 and Figure 5-18
• MTS 4 - TX on 2 ant., see Table 5-20 and Figure 5-19
• Expansion Cabinet – TX/RX on 1 ant., see Table 5-21
• Expansion Cabinet – TX/RX on 2 ant., see Table 5-23
• Expansion Cabinet – TX on 1 ant., see Table 5-24
• Expansion Cabinet – TX on 2 ant., see Table 5-25
Each configuration type described by the table and figure represents a few configurations. Not

The CAN Bus is integrated in the Site Controller. There is one CAN Bus in the cabinets. The CAN
Bus can be connected to the Site Controllers, PSUs, DPMs, and ATCCs.
The pinout has been designed so that an accidental mis-connection by one or into one of the
other RJ45 connectors (Ethernet, Service port, or E1) does not damage any circuitry.
The CAN Bus is a 120Ω twisted line with termination at the ends.
MTS 2 CAN Bus Cabling

The Site Controller contains the internal termination in one end of the CAN Bus, and the last
Duplexer in the CAN Bus has a terminator in one connector. Table 5-26 and Table 5-27 identify
and Figure 5-25 and Figure 5-26 show the CAN Bus cabling in MTS 2.
CAN Bus cabling depends on filter configuration.

The setup and testing procedures covered in this manual are intended to be used in conjunction with
the information provided in Chapter 13, "MTS Troubleshooting" and “MMI Commands Manual”.
Together, the troubleshooting solutions and testing procedures, provide the necessary information to
isolate failures to a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) or replaceable part. This helps to keep the system
down time to a minimum by quickly returning the site to normal operation.
All suspected faulty FRUs should be shipped to a Motorola depot facility for servicing or repair.
For a list of available FRUs, see Appendix A, "Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)".

MMI Commands and MTS Modes of Operation
usage prior to performing procedures in this chapter. Improperly applying
MMI commands can cause damage to the equipment.
The “MTS Interface Commands” booklet serves as an introduction and reference for
using the software commands. If you are not totally familiar with using the commands,
read the “MTS Interface Commands” booklet before proceeding.
Service technicians can communicate with the MTS through the use of MMI commands and a service
terminal (laptop). MMI commands provide testing capabilities with access to alarm log files and
various diagnostic tests. MMI commands also provide a means to configure the site controller and
base radio(s) for intended operation, and to enable various system tests.
The testing of the MTS by using the MMI can be done in Test Application Mode or with sets
of commands available for Site Controller and Base Radio.
A selected number of MMI commands are used in the procedures within this chapter. The
complete set of MMI commands, including both Site Controller and base radio commands,
is defined in the “MTS Interface Commands” booklet.

CAN Bus interconnects units in the BTS. It is used for signalling, configuration and troubleshooting.
CAN Bus configuration and diagnosis in done through use of MMI Commands from the Site Controller.
To use the commands connect the Service Terminal ("Service Terminal Setup") to the Site Controller
using the Service Cable ("Service Cable and Connector Box Description").
All the CAN Bus related Commands are covered in detail in the “MMI Commands” Booklet.
Using CAN Bus MMI Commands it is possible to diagnose the state of all the devices connected to the CAN Bus:
• "PSU CAN Bus Commands"
• "Fans CAN Bus Commands"
• "DPM CAN Bus Commands"
• "ATCC CAN Bus Commands"
• "Other CAN Bus Commands"
PSU CAN Bus Commands

The PSU CAN Bus Commands are used to verify the state of the Power Supply Unit:
• psu # get alarm - if any of the 'fail' fields indicates YES it means a problem.
Examples:
DC in fail: YES - indicates battery failure. For an MTS not equipped with backup
battery it is normal behaviour and does not indicate any mulfunction.
AC in fail: YES - indicates no or too low AC input voltage.
• psu # get status - shows the status of all power sources (AC/DC, in/out).
• psu # get battery_voltage - shows the battery voltage.
• psu # get battery_current - battery current.
• psu # get battery_temperature - battery temperature.
# in PSU CAN bus commands above denotes the number of the PSU, i.e. PSU 1 or PSU 2.

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual Fans CAN Bus Commands
Fans CAN Bus Commands

The Fans CAN Bus Commands are used to verify the state of the Cooling Fans connected through CAN Bus.:
• Use psu # get fan_config or psu # get status to verify the number of fans installed in the system.
• If psu # get alarm indicates that any of FAN fail (1/2/3) fields equals
YES, this means that a fan is failing.
• psu # get psu_temperature - if the temperature is too hot this also in-
dicates a problem with cooling.
• psu # get alarm will also show Over temp. alarm showing YES if the temperature is too high.
During initial commissioning, verify that fan configuration match the actual number of fans in the
system. If needed, use the psu # set fan_config command to change the fan configuration.
Examples:
psu 1 set fan_config 1 1 1 to define three fans present on PSU1.
psu 2 set fan_config 0 0 0 to define no fans present on PSU2.
DPM CAN Bus Commands

The DPM CAN Bus Commands are used to verify the state of the Digital Power Meter:
• dpm # get alarm - shows all the alarms related to the DPM
VSWR alarm: YES - may indicate a broken antenna.
• dpm # get fwd_power - if the reading is too low, it may indicate a broken
connection between the DPM and Base Radio.
ATCC CAN Bus Commands

The ATCC CAN Bus Commands are used to verify the state of the Cavity Combiners:
• atc # get alarm - if there is at least oneCavities VSWR Alarm, it indicates
a problem with the Cavity Combiner.
• atc # get cav_status <cav_number> - use this command for each Cavity Combiner.
Cavity VSWR Alarm - this Cavity Combiner is unable to tune. An ac-
tual value of VSWR is shown.
Channel Spacing Alarm - means that frequency of one Base Radio
is tuned too close to another.
atc # get cav_status <cav_number> will also list the frequencies of each Cavity Combiner,
this can be compared to the setting of the corresponding Base radio for verification.

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual Site Controller Setup
Site Controller Setup
If an MTS or Site Controller is moved, it is important to clear the site location

memory to force the stored position data to be re-initialized.
To clear the site location enter the following command on the Site Controller
terminal whilst the MTS is running in application mode:
site_location -reset
Then restart the Site Controller to allow calculation of it’s new
location to commence (site survey)
Procedure 6-1 Site Controller Setup
1 Switch the Power Supply Unit ON.

2 Start-up the service terminal.
3 There will be a series of self-tests. By default, after a few seconds, the Site Controller will
launch the Site Controller Application. Other modes are described in "MMI Commands and
MTS Modes of Operation".
4 At the prompt, enter status sc –all. The command displays preliminary diagnostics information
on the Site Controller. This includes the health of the Site Controller, the trunking state, the
internal state and the site link status.
If all details for the status is needed, use the Status bts –l command.
5 If any device drivers are reported as “failed to initialize”, then this indicates a problem with that
peripheral. However, successful initialization of a device does not guarantee that it is fully
functional; further tests are necessary to ensure this. The above tests are carried out upon
power-up or reset. The command simply reports the last status of the test. To actually re-run the
tests, it is necessary to reset the Site Controller. Further Site Controller commands are available
as described in the Booklet “MTS Interface Commands”. These may also be listed by typing
help at the prompt.
This procedure may be halted and restarted at any time by pressing the RESET push
button for at least 2 seconds on the Site Controller front panel.

E1 Connection Test
The E1 connection test requires that the Site Controller is connected to an active E1 line.
The E1 tests the connection between the Site Controller and the CNE core router. All applications that
communicate with the CNE utilize the Internet Protocol (IP). The current state and statistics for IP may be
obtained using the netstat and netstat -s commands. The correct functioning of the IP layer may be determined
through careful use of the ping command. For more information refer to “MTS Interface Commands” booklet.
Enter the following loopback test command in Site Controller Test Application: e1el. MMI
modes are described in "MMI Commands and MTS Modes of Operation".
X.21 Connection Test
The X.21 connection test requires the Site Controller to be connected to a Network
Terminating Unit (NTU) which supports the X.21 loop 3 command.
Enter the following loopback test command in Site Controller Test Application: e1el. MMI
modes are described in "MMI Commands and MTS Modes of Operation".

Synchronizing Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Regions

After introducing major changes in the Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) settings it is recommended to
synchronize NVM regions using the commands described below. Each physical NVM object has two
copies of its contents called the working region and the default region. The working region is used
for normal operation, while the default region is a backup from where the settings are recovered in
case of a memory fault (incorrect checksum) detected in the working region.
In order to synchronize the default region with the working region, use the following
commands at the command prompt:
• sfcp -ocontrol -sworking -ddefault
• sfcp -oex1 -sworking -ddefault
• sfcp -opa1 -sworking -ddefault

Chapter
7
Radio Frequency Distribution System
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
This chapter contains the following topics:

• "RFDS Theory of Operation"
• "MTS 2 RFDS"
• "MTS 4 RFDS"
• "Expansion Cabinet RFDS"
The Radio Frequency Distribution System (RFDS) distributes and manages the communications
network frequencies and mitigates interference between multiple radios, allowing them to
operate simultaneously. This results in improved radio reception performance across the
frequency ranges where multiple transmitters are broadcasting.
RFDS Theory of Operation

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
The RFDS module is made up of the following subcomponents:

• Preselector (MTS 2 and MTS 4)
• Duplexer (MTS 2 and MTS 4)
• Cavity Combiners (MTS 4 and Expansion Cabinet)
• Hybrid Combiner (MTS 2, MTS 4 uses either HC or CC)
• Post Filter (MTS 4 only)
• RX Splitter (Expansion Cabinet only)
The RFDS module supports the combining and filtering of multiple Base Radio transmitters to one or more
antenna outputs. The RFDS module supports up to triple receive diversity. Signals are filtered by either the
Duplexer or the Preselector, then amplified and distributed by the integrated Receiver Multicoupler (RMC). In
configurations with an Expansion Cabinet, the RX-splitter is used to distribute the received signal.
The RFDS also conditions the transmit and receive signal using filters. After combining the Base Radio
transmitters in the Hybrid Combiner (or in the Cavity Combiner in the case of the MTS 4), the transmit signals
are filtered in the transmit path of the Duplexer, which supplies the antenna connector on the cabinet.
6802800U74-N September 2009 7-1

CAN Bus Chapter 7: Radio Frequency Distribution System
MTS 2 and MTS 4, with or without Expansion Cabinet configuration, use different types of
RFDS modules. The following are the distinct differences:
• MTS 2 supports Hybrid Combiners
• MTS 4 supports Cavity Combiners or Hybrid Combiners
• MTS 2 and MTS 4 do not use the same filters and mechanics for the filter tray
• MTS 2 supports up to two RF channels
• MTS 4 supports up to four RF channels
• Expansion Cabinet supports eight RF channels (four in MTS 4 Prime Cabinet
and four in MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet)
MTS 2 only has up to two carriers (the frequency that it sends out) and, as a result there are no Post Filters
for a non-duplexed operation. A non-duplexed operation is achieved using a Duplexer as the Post Filter and
not using the receive path of the Duplexer. This configuration does not allow room for a third Preselector
inside the cabinet; however, it is possible to situate one outside the cabinet, for example, on the wall.
CAN Bus
The intercommunication between the RFDS units (the Duplexers, Post Filters, and Cavity Combiners) and the
Site Controller is carried out through the CAN Bus at 125 kB/second. The connectors for the CAN Bus are RJ45
connectors. The CAN Bus is terminated at each end, either by the Site Controller or by an RJ45 terminator.
Each unit is registered at the Site Controller (SC), which specifies the particular channel for each
unit. Every 30 seconds, each unit on the CAN Bus transmits status and alarm information. Alarms are
triggered when any thresholds are exceeded, (failure alarms, software revisions, and so on). The following
common information is available from the CAN Bus: serial number, TrackID, software revisions, and
the Motorola kit number. For each unit, specific information is available, for example, voltage standing
wave ratio (VSWR) for DPMs and tuning information for Cavity Combiners.
The receive path of the Preselector or Duplexer is not connected to the CAN Bus. Because the supply
voltage is supplied from the Base Radio, the Base Radio can withstand a short or 50 ohms connection
to the RX input without the Base Radio or the Power Supply Unit (PSU) being damaged.
For more information on CAN Bus, see "Site Controller - CAN Bus".
RFDS Frequency Band and Bandwidth

Both MTS 2 and MTS 4 are available in the 350 MHz– 470 MHz range. The bandwidth of
the filters is 5 MHz and the duplex spacing is 10 MHz.
Both MTS 2 and MTS 4 are also available in the 851MHz – 870 MHz range. The bandwidth
of the filters is 19 MHz and the duplex spacing is 45 MHz.

MTS 2 RFDS
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
In terms of RFDS, MTS 2 uses a low-power, cost effective RFDS placed on top of a
card cage, intended for up to 2 Base Radios.
The RFDS in MTS 2 is made up of the following:
• One or two Preselectors with integrated high performance low noise amplifier (LNA). The
supply voltage for the LNA is supplied through the RX out connected to the Base Radios. The
Preselector has two outlets for two Base Radios. The dimensions of the filter are: 85 x 280 x 70
mm, excluding connectors. The antenna connectors are DIN 7–16, the receive side is connected
with QMA connectors. See the block schematic of the MTS 2 Preselector in Figure 7-6.
• One or two Duplexers rated for up to two TETRA modulated carriers. The antenna connectors
are DIN 7–16, the transmit side is connected with QN connectors. The Duplexer has
an integrated digital VSWR meter. The supply voltage for the digital VSWR meter is
supplied through the CAN Bus interface. The receive side has integrated LNA as for the
Preselector and two RX outputs (QMA). The supply voltage for the LNA is supplied through
the RX ports. The filter dimensions are approximately: 170 x 280 x 70 mm excluding
connectors. See the block schematic of the MTS 2 Duplexer in Figure 7-8.
Because the MTS 2 has only up to two carriers, there is no need for Post Filters
for non-duplexed operation (you can achieve non-duplexed operation by using the
Duplexer as the Post Filter and not using the receive path of the Duplexer).
• Hybrid Combiner. MTS 2 can have either a Hybrid Combiner for transmission on one
antenna, or without combining for transmission on two separate antennas.
MTS 2 is equipped with a digital voltage standing wave radio (VSWR) monitor to ensure site availability at
remote low-traffic sites and for public safety customers. The digital VSWR monitor can make a quite accurate
VSWR reading because the measurement is relative between the forward and reverse power.
The VSWR monitor does not have the same accuracy in power reading as the digital power monitor (DPM)
in the MTS 4, but it still allows a cost-effective monitoring of the integrity of the antenna.
MTS 2 Filter Tray

The MTS 2 filter tray can carry up to two Duplexers and one Preselector or one Duplexer and two
Preselectors. There is also room for a Hybrid Combiner. The antenna connectors extend from the
MTS 2 junction panel and antenna cables are connected directly onto the filters.
In Table 7-1, Low Power is valid for UHF, while High Power is valid for both UHF and 800 MHz.

MTS 2 Preselector Chapter 7: Radio Frequency Distribution System
MTS 2 Preselector
The MTS 2 Preselector is a bandpass filter, which only allows the receiver signals to pass. With a bandwidth of:
• 5 MHz for 400 MHz version
The filter’s bandwidth is designed to block transmitter frequencies. The receive and
transmit bandpass are 10 MHz apart for 400 MHz and 45 MHz apart for 800 MHz. The
Preselector incorporates an LNA followed by an RMC.
Figure 7-5 MTS 2 Preselector
The MTS 2 Preselector only has two RX outputs and no expansion output. In MTS 2 the Preselector
has an integrated high performance low noise amplifier (LNA). The supply voltage for the LNA
is supplied through the RX out connected to the Base Radios. The Preselector has two outlets for
two Base Radios. The antenna connectors are DIN 7–16, the receive side is connected with QMA
connectors. See the block schematic of the MTS 2 Preselector in Figure 7-6.

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual MTS 2 Duplexer
MTS 2 Duplexer
The Duplexer is a Preselector with Integrated Receiver Multicoupler (RMC) and a Post Filter with
a digital power monitor (DPM) combined into one unit. These form the two bandpass filters that
make up the Duplexer; one is a receive filter and the other a transmit filter.
Figure 7-7 MTS 2 Duplexer
The duplex spacing between a transmit frequency and the corresponding receive frequency is
10 MHz, with the transmit frequency highest. This leaves a 5 MHz spacing between the lowest
possible transmit frequency and the highest possible receive frequency.
For 800 MHz, the duplex spacing between a transmit frequency and the corresponding receive
frequency is 45 MHz, and leaves a 19 MHz spacing between the lowest possible transmit
frequency and the highest possible receive frequency.
The MTS 2 Duplexer has 2 RX outputs and can handle a maximum power of 60 watts.
The receiver LNA and splitter provides multiple receive signal ports. An amplified output is
provided for connection to the other cabinet in an expansion configuration.
The digital power monitor (DPM) is a directional coupler that measures forward and reverse Power.
Power and VSWR information can be read through the CAN bus.

MTS 4 Duplexer Chapter 7: Radio Frequency Distribution System
MTS 4 Duplexer
The Duplexer is a Preselector with an integrated receiver multicoupler (RMC) and a Post Filter
with a digital power monitor (DPM) combined into one unit. These form the two bandpass
filters that make up the Duplexer; one is a receive filter and the other a transmit filter. See
the block schematic of the MTS 4 Duplexer in Figure 7-21
For 400 MHz, the duplex spacing between a transmitter frequency and the corresponding receive
frequency is 10 MHz, with the transmitter frequency highest. This leaves a 5 MHz spacing between
the lowest possible transmit frequency and the highest possible receive frequency.
For 800 MHz, the duplex spacing between a transmit frequency and the corresponding receive
frequency is 45 MHz, and leaves a 19 MHz spacing between the lowest possible transmit
frequency and the highest possible receive frequency.
The MTS 4 Duplexer has 4 RX outputs and one expansion output. It can handle a maximum power 180 Watts.

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual Cavity Combiner
Cavity Combiner
There are two types of Cavity Combiners available:
• Auto Tune Cavity Combiners (ATCC)
• Manual Tune Cavity Combiners (MTCC)
MTCCs are functionally the same as ATCCs except that they are tuned manually instead of electronically.
MTS 2 does not support Cavity Combiners.

Minimum channel spacing of the TX channels is 150 kHz while the recommended channel spacing is 250 kHz.
Figure 7-24 Auto Tune Cavity Combiner
Cavity Combiner - Theory of Operation

A minimum of 2 watts is needed at a cavity input. The ATCC will automatically tune in 40
seconds maximum. For more detail, refer to the ATCC specification.
Once an RF signal greater than 2 watts is detected, the ATCC tunes the cavity and continuously
keeps it tuned over humidity, temperature and changing transmit frequency, so long as it
does not sense one of the following alarm conditions:
• Channel Spacing alarm
• VSWR alarm
• Failure to Tune alarm
Being tuned means that a cavity is within the insertion loss specification at the frequency of the applied
PI/4DQPSK or QAM4,16,64 signal that is within the average input power range specified above. Being tuned
also means that the cavity peak response is no greater than 25 kHz away from the TX carrier centre frequency.
6802800U74-N September 2009 7-29

Cavity Combiner - FRU Replacement Process Chapter 7: Radio Frequency Distribution System
If the TX carrier does not change channel or average power level, the auto tune algorithm will not initiate a
re-tuning on its own which exceeds +/- 300 kHz from the carrier frequency. The only exception occurs when
the fine tune timer event happens. The fine tune timer is used to compensate for large variations in humidity
and is default set to 480 Minutes. The Cavity Combiner is temperature compensated but large variations in
humidity can de-tune the cavities up to 150 kHz with the result of an increasing insertion loss.
When the fine tune timer event occurs, all cavities with RF applied will be re-tuned for maximum output
power of each TX carrier. The fine tune timer can be adjusted to compensate for fast humidity variations;
for instance if the MTS 4 is installed in outdoor sites without air-conditioning. The recommended
setting of the fine tune timer, if the MTS 4 is installed in a controlled environment, is 480 Minutes.
For sites where the MTS 4 is exposed to more than +/- 20% variation in RH, the recommended setting
of the fine tune timer is 60-200 minutes depending on the speed of the variation.
Having a second cavity tune up and pass through the desired channel, the desired channel’s insertion
loss dips no more than 3 dB more than the max insertion spec for a period of 0.25 seconds.
The cavity tuning rate should be faster than 1 MHz per second.
The following list contains control and monitoring features available through the CAN Bus:
• Request current tuned position/frequency of a specific cavity.
• Fine tune time feature, to re-tune each cavity with a specified interval.
• Park an individual cavity, but if RF power is still present, cavity will park and then retune again.
• Input power: request current measured input reflected power of a specific cavity.
• VSWR: request input VSWR of an individual cavity.
• Tuning status of each cavity; parked, tuning, tuned, and parking.
• Alarm conditions of each cavity are reported when requested, including : VSWR,
subband, channel spacing and failure to tune.

Site Controller - CAN Bus

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
The purpose of the CAN Bus is to make a common communication bus between RFDS equipment, PSU and
the Site Controller. The CAN Bus connects to the Site Controller, PSU, DPM and ATCC. The modules on
the CAN Bus are assigned an address for the CAN Bus. Each node also needs to be assigned a functionality
in MTS when there are more than one modules of the same type. Mapping between track number, CAN
ID and function relies on the fact that the unique track number is available from each unit.
At initialization of the MTS the Site Controller is configured with a relation between track number and the
function of the node. This is done initially in a factory, but it is also possible to modify this in a service situation.
If a node is removed or is defective the Site Controller will know the track number of a FRU which is not
responding and therefore it can make a proper service report which tells exactly what FRU to replace. When
the service is carried out the track number of the defective FRU is replaced with the new track number
in the mapping list. Thus, the new track number is mapped to the function of replaced FRU.

Table 8-6 Site Controller - CAN Bus Functionality (Continued)

Unit Function
• PSU input air temp.: -30 °C to +100 °C, tolerance: 2 °C.

Alarms:
• DC Source Fail: Indicating DC input voltage outside limits (below 43 V).
• DC Out Fail: DC output voltages out of limits.
• AC Source Fail: Early warning, indicating that the AC input is interrupted
and the PSU starts to operate from DC input source in ≥ 15 ms. (if a backup
source is present).
• Software Fail: Indicating software is corrupted or unable to initialize.
• Over Temperature: Indicating over temperature detected 5 °C to 10 °C before
shutdown.
• Fan 1 alarm: Fan 1 not operating (fan has stopped or its running speed is
below specification), PSU has received a high signal (open collector) from
fan tray 1 through fan connector 1.
Controls:
• FORCE – DC: Controls the PSU to force the usage of the DC input if usable,
disregard presence of AC. If DC is outside the usable range for the PSU, the
PSU shall indicate an alarm using the DC-fail output. If DC input voltage
comes below 43 V ±2% and if AC is usable the PSU shall take the input
power from AC, disregarding a Force-DC control input.
Force DC operation on a bad DC supply PSU or Battery: Bad DC

supply is defined as a DC source where the voltage drops below
43 V for a few milliseconds when the PSU is forced to operate on
DC. In case of a force DC command and bad DC supply the 28.5
V output voltage is allowed to drop down to 27 V for a maximum
of 5 second, while the PSU automatically switches back to AC
mode and the 28.5 V rises from 27 V to 28.5 V. During this
sequence the DC out alarm is suppressed.
• Fan supply output voltage is also controlled by the CAN Bus in 5 steps from
24 V to 12 V. The highest value is set by CAN Bus or automatically.
• DC operation only: Prevents AC –fail alarms (and associated LED) from the
PSU on CAN Bus when the PSU is supplied from DC only. If the AC supply
becomes present during DC operation, the AC Source Fail alarm circuit is
automatically be reactivated.

Site Controller - CAN Bus Chapter 8: Site Controller

Unit Function
• AC operation only: Prevents DC –fail alarms (and associated LED) from

the PSU on CAN Bus when the PSU is supplied from AC only. If the DC
supply becomes present during AC operation, the DC-Fail alarm circuit
is automatically reactivated.
• No Fan 1: Prevents Fan 1 alarm (and associated LED) when no fan 1 is
connected. If the Fan1 becomes present during operation, the Fan1 alarm
circuit is automatically reactivated.
Refer to MMI Commands manual for additional information on

commands and parameters.
ATCC Monitoring:
• Cavity status.
• ATCC Heartbeat signal: heart beat signal is repeated every 30 s.
Alarms:
• Software corrupted.
• Distance between two channels below 150 kHz.
• Cavity VSWR alarm.
• Master Slave communication error.
• Motor alarm.
• Cavity tuning error alarms together.
• VSWR exceeded the specified value.
• Unable to park cavity.
• Cavity unable to tune to the current frequency in 3 attempts.
Controls:
• Cavity tune timeout: establishes a timeout period between a fine-tuning of the
cavities. All cavities must be fine-tuned at the timeout.
• Park a cavity: instructs the ATCC to park the specified cavity. This involves
adjusting the cavity resonance to a frequency outside of the Tx band. If RF
power is present, the cavity parks and then re-tunes to the input frequency.
• VSWR Alarm Threshold: establishes a threshold for enabling a VSWR
Alarm. Valid threshold values are in the range 1.00 to 10.00 where 1.00 means
No VSWR and recommended values are 3.00 for UHF and 4.00 for 800 MHz.

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual MTS - Configuring E1 Links
Procedure 8-12 MTS - How to Configure E1 Links
1 Verify details of the configuration of E1 connection between MTS and CNE core router. In
particular check how many physical links will be used (one for star-like configuration, two for a
ring) and pattern of timeslots to be used. In case of standard configuration (one E1 site link,
timeslots 1 and 2) no further steps are necessary. If not, go to the next step.

3 If MTS is connected to the infrastructure with 1 E1 link, PVC1 carried by timeslots X1, X2,...,
PVC2 carried by timeslots Y1, Y2,..., execute the following sequence of MMI commands, SC>:
.e1config -siteLink dual
.e1config -DI off
.e1config -channel 1 -portNo 1
.e1config -channel 1 -tsPattern X1 X2 ...
.e1config -channel 2 -tsPattern Y1 Y2 ...
Please note that timeslots assigned to both channels can be identical. Timeslot
pattern can be passed as a list of slot numbers separated with spaces. Several
consecutive timeslots can be also passed in the format X1:XN.
Examples:
.e1config -channel 1 -tsPattern 1:31
assigns all timeslots from 1 to 31 to channel 1
.e1config -channel 1 -tsPattern 1 2 10:15
assigns timeslots 1,2,10,11,12,13,14,15 to channel 1.
4 If MTS is connected to the infrastructure with 2 E1 links, PVC1 carried by timeslots X1,X2,...,
PVC2 carried by timeslots Y1, Y2,..., execute the following sequence of MMI commands, SC>:
.e1config -DI off
5 For up to 10 MTSs connected in the ring topology (i.e. Core Router 1 -----MTS1-----MTS2--
-....-----MTS10-----Core Router 2) execute the following commands on each MTS in the ring:
.e1config -DI on
Timeslots configured for each site in the ring should be different.

The .ethconf -STATUS command displays two sets of settings for each parameter:
• Current: contains settings that were read from configuration file during startup
and are currently used by Base Station
• Next: contains settings that can take effect after reset of Base Station.
* displayed in front of a particular parameter indicates that its value has been
changed by the user via .ethconf command. Before Those settings can be used,
they need to be successfully validated and saved in TSC configuration file.
This process is triggered by executing .ethconf save command. If
configuration cannot be successfully saved, User shall be instructed how to handle
detected errors and warnings as illustrated in the example below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Configuration cannot be saved due to errors or warnings below
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Primary VLAN tagging shall be ON if primary WAN gateway is not set
ERROR: Primary WAN interface VLAN ID shall be 1-4095
ERROR: Primary IP tunnel remote address must be set
------------------------------------------------------------------------
All errors must be corrected before configuration can be saved
Warnings listed above indicate that configuration contains
non-standard settings which migh result in incorrect operation of Base Station
To save configuration without correcting warnings, please use
’.ethconf save -force’ command.
When the Next values are successfully validated and saved into configuration file they
shall take effect after reset of Base Station.

The eXpansion HUB (XHUB Controller) is a non-intelligent switching and interface module which plugs
into the Site Controller slot of MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet. With the usage of an Expansion Cabinet and an
XHUB, a station can be increased by a number of four Base Radios. The XHUB receive the CP3 interface
from the Site Controller in the Prime Cabinet, distribute the Enternet and timing as CP2 links to the Base
Radios in the Expansion Cabinet. The XHUB also have a door alarm input. The RFDS alarms is reported
through the CAN bus or the receivers. The XHUB has following modes of operation:
• Normal mode: XHUB Controller in the MTS 4 Expansion Cabinet has an active connection
with a Site Controller in the MTS 4 Prime Cabinet. The XHUB may be used to extend
the switching and interface capabilities of the Site Controller.
• Impaired Normal mode: If connection to the Site Controller of the MTS 4 Prime Cabinet
is lost, the XHUB Controller will go into Impaired Normal mode. It will return to Normal
mode as soon as the connection to the Site Controller is restored.
• Standalone mode: If no connection to the Site Controller is present when the XHUB
is turned ON or being Reset, it will go into Standalone mode. In order to go to
Normal mode, the XHUB Controller needs to be Reset again.
The Site Controller door alarm configuration is also valid for the XHUB.

The Base Radio provides reliable digital radio capabilities in a compact software-controlled design. High
channel capacity is provided through voice compression techniques and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM).
On the Base Radio front panel there are connectors and indicators. The indicators provide
a means for monitoring various status and operating conditions of the Base Radio, and also
aid in isolating failures. For more information on Base Radio indicators and connectors, see

The Base Radio (BR) provides reliable digital communications capabilities. Each Base
Radio contains the following subcomponents:
• Transceiver consisting of a Base Radio Controller, a triple receiver, and an exciter
• Power Amplifier (PA)
In the MTS 2 and 4, the Base Radio (BR) operates in conjunction with the Site Controller (SC) through a
properly terminated 100Base-T Ethernet link. Figure 10-3 shows an overall block diagram of the Base Radio.
Figure 10-2 Base Radio Front Panel
On the front panel, there is a DC power input, three parallel receiver (RX) inputs, a high power
transmitter output signal from the power amplifier, a service port, two interfaces to the Site Controllers,
and LED indicators. For more information on the LED indicators, see Table 10-1.
6802800U74-N September 2009 10-3

Base Radio - Theory of Operation Chapter 10: Base Radio
Upon power-up, the BR performs self-diagnostic tests to ensure the integrity of the unit. These tests
are primarily confined to the BRC and include memory and Ethernet verification routines.
After the self-diagnostic tests are complete, the BR reports any alarm conditions present on any of its modules.
All alarms are reported to the Site Controller through the Ethernet LAN. Alarm conditions may also be verified
locally through the Service Access port on the front panel of the Base Radio and linked to a service computer.
The software resident in FLASH memory on the BRC registers the BR with the Site Controller through
the Ethernet LAN. Once registered, the Base Radio software is downloaded through the Ethernet
LAN and is executed from SDRAM. Operating parameters for the Base Radio are included in this
download. This software allows the Base Radio to perform call processing functions.
The Base Radio operates in a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) mode. This mode, combined with
voice compression techniques, provides an increased channel capacity ratio of as much as 4 to 1. Both the
receive and transmit signals of the Base Radio are divided into four individual time slots. Each receive
slot has a corresponding transmit slot; this pair of slots comprises a logical RF channel.
The Base Radio uses single, dual, and triple diversity reception for increased talkback coverage
area and improved quality. The Transceiver contains a three-branch receiver section in which
all receivers are used for triple diversity reception.
All receivers within a given Base Radio are programmed to the same receive frequency. The signals
from each receiver are fed to the BRC where a diversity combining algorithm is performed on the
signals. The resultant signal is processed for error correction and then sent to the Site Controller through
the Ethernet LAN with the appropriate control information regarding its destination.
The transmit section of the Base Radio is comprised of the Exciter (EXC) and Power Amplifier (PA).
The EXC processes the information to transmit from the BRC in the proper modulation format. This
low level signal is sent to the Power Amplifier where it is amplified to the desired output power level.
The PA is a continuous-keyed linear amplifier. A power control routine monitors the output power
of the Base Radio and adjusts it as necessary to maintain the proper output level.
For information on the performance specifications, see Chapter 14, "Technical Specifications".
The Base Radio is prepared for TEDS.

Transceiver (XCVR) Chapter 10: Base Radio
Transceiver (XCVR)
The transceiver provides the receive and transmit and control functions for the Base
Radio. The transceiver consist of three elements:
• Receiver-performs the receive function
• Exciter-performs the transmit function
• BR Controller-performs the control function
The receiver incorporates three separate receiver channels for use in diversity reception. The
bias for the LNAs in the Preselectors is supplied by bias circuitry in the receiver. A +7 V dc
voltage is the output on the QMA receive input connectors.
The receiver performs highly selective bandpass filtering and dual down conversion of the
station receive RF signal. A custom receiver IC outputs the baseband information in a digital
data format and sends it to the Base Radio controller.
The exciter in conjunction with the Power Amplifier (PA), provides the modulation and
transmitter functions for the Base Radio.
The transceiver contains the Base Radio Controller (BRC). The BRC serves as the main controller of the Base
Radio. The BRC provides signal processing and operational control for the other Base Radio circuit blocks.
The LEDs on the front panel indicate the status of the Base Radio monitored by the BRC. All LEDs on the
Base Radio front panel normally flash once from red to green upon initial power-up. A RESET button is
provided to allow a manual reset of the BR (by pressing the button for at least two seconds).
The operating software and configuration data are contained within the BRC flash memory. The software
defines operating parameters for the BR, such as output power and operating frequency.
In order to protect the key encryption key in use in the infrastructure, it is recommended
that this key is overwritten using the Key Variable Loader (KVL) device (through
the front serial port) prior to shipping for repair.
Power Amplifier
The Power Amplifier (PA) in conjunction with the exciter provides the transmitter functions for the
Base Radio. The Power Amplifier accepts the low-power modulated RF signal from the exciter and
amplifies the signal for transmission through the RF output connector.
Three possible PAs are available, two high-power PAs and a low-power PA. High-power
PAs are available on two frequency bands:

Dependent on its configuration the MTS is equipped with one or two high efficiency switch mode Power
Supply Units (PSU). The PSU has a nominal AC input of 110 VAC/240 VAC (45-66 Hz) as well as a DC input
of –48 VDC. The PSU also has the capability to charge a 48 V backup battery during AC operation mode.
The PSU provides several DC output voltages to supply Base Radios, Site Controller, ATCC and Fans.
The PSU complies with the appropriate CE marking, EMC, EMI and safety requirements.
There is an ON/OFF switch on the front panel of the PSU module which con-
nects/disconnects DC output voltages.
The PSU operates in the following modes:
• DC only operation at -48 VDC (within -41 VDC to -60 VDC).
DC operation mode does not allow any battery controlling.

• AC only operation at 110/240 VAC (within 90 VAC to 270 VAC) without battery charging.
• AC operation (within 90 VAC to 270 VAC) and automatic switch over to DC
backup battery operation when AC fails.
Input Reverse Voltage Protection:

The PSU is protected from damage due to a reverse polarity input connection. If
the input polarity is reversed, the “DC In Status” LED will be solid red.
The MTS cabinet itself is wired to positive ground earth. The Power Supply Unit
has a floating DC ground concept.
For more information on PSU technical specifications please refer to "Power Supply Unit
Specifications" in Chapter 14, "Technical Specifications".
PSU - CAN Bus Monitoring, Alarms, and Controls

The PSU is monitored and controlled by the Site Controller. All monitoring outputs, alarm outputs,
PSU ID number and control inputs are available through a CAN Bus. It is also possible to update
the PSU firmware through the CAN Bus while the PSU is operational.
A unique identification of up to 4 PSUs is achieved by means of software. The assigned
ID is used to identify the PSU on the CAN Bus for commands and alarms. For more
information on CAN Bus, see Chapter 8, "Site Controller".

PSU monitoring parameters available through the CAN Bus:

• PSU temperature: -30 °C to +100 °C; tolerance: ±2 °C;
• Battery current: -20 A to +10 A; tolerance: ±1%;
• Battery voltage: 30 V to 60 V; tolerance: ±1%;

• Fan output voltage: 0 V to 30 V; tolerance: ±2%;
• PSU input air temp.: -30 °C to +100 °C; tolerance: ±2 °C;
PSU alarms available through CAN Bus:

• DC Source Fail: Indicating DC input voltage outside limits (below 43 V);
• DC Out Fail: DC output voltages out of limits;
• AC Source Fail: this alarm will be send during 15 ms hold up time after AC mains
failure. If the DC input is available PSU will switch to DC source;
• Software Fail: Indicating software is corrupted or unable to initialize;
• Over Temperature: Indicating over temperature detected 5° to 10 °C before shutdown;
• Fan 1 alarm: Fan 1 not operating, PSU has received a low signal from
fan tray 1 through fan connector 1;
PSU Controls available through CAN Bus:

• Force – DC: Controls the PSU to force the usage of the DC input if usable, disregard
presence of AC. If DC is outside the usable range for the PSU, the PSU indicates the DC
Source Fail alarm. If DC input voltage comes below 43 V and if AC is usable the PSU
takes the input power from AC, disregarding a Force-DC control input;
• Fan supply output voltage can be controlled by the CAN Bus in 7 steps from 24 V to 12 V;
• DC operation only: Prevents AC Source Fail alarms (and associated LED) from the PSU on
CAN Bus when the PSU is supplied from DC only. If the AC supply becomes present during
DC operation, the AC Source Fail alarm circuit will automatically be reactivated;
• AC operation only: Prevents DC Source Fail alarms (and associated LED) from the PSU
on CAN Bus when the PSU is supplied from AC only. If the DC supply becomes present
during AC operation, the DC-Fail alarm circuit will automatically be reactivated;
• No Fan 1: Prevents Fan 1 alarm (and associated LED) when no Fan 1 is connected. If the Fan 1
becomes present during operation, the Fan 1 alarm circuit will automatically be reactivated;
6802800U74-N September 2009 11-3

Backup Battery Chapter 11: Power Supply Unit
• Fan Factor: Fan factor is used to determine automatically calculated Fan supply voltage -
the higher factor is specified the higher voltage is calculated. The Fan Factor range is 0.5 -
2.0 (by default 1.0). In systems with only one BR this factor is typically set to 1.0.
Backup Battery
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) handles the automatic switchover to a backup battery in the event
of AC power supply failure. The MTS charges a backup battery during normal AC operation.
The backup battery normally is located near to the cabinet.
This battery is connected to the DC connector on the front panel of the PSU through Junction Panel. Refer to
Chapter 4, "Hardware Installation" and Chapter 5, "Interconnection and Internal Cabling" for more information.
The recommended batteries to be used are a Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) recombination
type, with -48 VDC nominal. Such as Enersys Power safe VFT type.
Backup Battery Charging Procedure
Selected Operation Mode: AC Operation

The backup battery charging output voltage is 40.5 VDC to 57 VDC and output current 0 to 6 A.
A temperature sensor monitors the backup battery’s temperature to ensure optimum charging.
Available charge current is reduced linearly with increasing temperature from 6 A to 0 A when
the PSU input air temperature increases from +30 °C to +60 °C
Charge voltage decreases with increasing battery temperature with the ratio of -72 mV/°C, starting
with 56.88 VDC +/-1% @ -10 °C and ending with 52.56 VDC +/-1% @ +50 °C
The PSU charges the backup batteries on the following conditions
(DC In Status LED is flashing fast (0.5 s) red-green):
• Temperature range*: -10 °C to +50 °C
• Battery Low Voltage start up: 40 V -5%/+1%
• Battery Low Voltage Warning: 43 V ±2%
11-4 6802800U74-N September 2009

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual Fans
The PSU stops charging the backup battery on the following conditions:
• Internal PSU temperature: > 100 °C
• Battery Temperature*: < -12.5 °C
• Battery Temperature*: > 53 °C
*When a temperature sensor is connected to the battery and PSU. If the battery sensor is not
connected the battery will be charged with 54.24 ±1% VDC as if the battery temperature was 25
°C. The battery temperature monitored through CAN Bus will show 100 °C.
Fans
The PSU supplies fans, which are located in the fan trays under the module cage. For more
information on fans, see Chapter 12, "Cooling Fans". The PSU DC output voltage dedicated for
fans is 12 to 24 VDC and the output current is 1 A for each fan. Three fan connector outputs shall
supply three fan trays with two fans connected in parallel in each fan tray.
Fan supply output voltage can be automatically regulated as a function of PSU internal (ambient)
temperature and its output power. Fan supply output voltage can also be controlled by the CAN Bus in 7
steps from 24 V to 12 V. The highest value wins - automatic control versus CAN control.
At an ambient temperature below -10 °C the fans are stopped and restarted again at -8 °C. The fan
supply ramps up to 24 V output for a few seconds in all start up situations.

One or more fan modules generate an airflow through the MTS cabinets to manage their
temperature. Each module is comprised of two fans. Revolution of the fans is monitored
by a sensor. In the event of failure, an alarm is generated.
Low power configurations of the MTS 2 can optionally operate with cooling fans.

The 2BR card cage is able to contain fan kits which reside below the modules. The three fan kits
are supplied and controlled from the PSU with variable speed control. This is in order to reduce
the noise in normal temperature environments. The Fan speed is based on the temperature of the
modules. The latter require that the Site Controller software monitors the module temperatures
and through the CAN Bus controls the speed of the fans.
MTS 2 offers configurations which do not need fans. The temperature range is from -30 °C to 55 °C. If the
temperature range is extended to 60 °C three fan kits needs to be mounted. MTS 4 requires fans for all
configurations. There is no need for fans in MTS 2 for the low power PA BTS configurations. In other
configurations three fan kits are needed at the bottom of the card cages. There may be a reliability issue with
the fans if operated below -10 °C. At an ambient temperature below -10 °C the fans are stopped and restarted
again at -8 °C. The fan supply ramps up to 24 V output for a few seconds in all start up situations.

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual PSU Fan Control
PSU Fan Control

There are three fan supply outputs with LED indicators. Three fan connector outputs supply three fan kits
with two fans connected in parallel in each fan tray. The specifications for a FAN output are:
• Output Voltage: from 12 to 24 VDC ± 5 %
• Output Current: 1 A for each fan connector output
The Fan supply output voltage is linear dependent on the total power delivered by the PSU and the
ambient temperature. The fan supply starts with 24 V output for a few seconds.
For PSU LED indications refer to "PSU Indicators (LEDs)" on page 11-6
There are several MMI commands which let us to control fans:
• psu # get fan_voltage
• psu # set fan_speed
• psu # get fan_speed
• psu # set fan_config
• psu # get fan_config
• psu # start_fan
The commands above are described in the MTS Man Machine Interface Commands manual.
Alarms and Controls Available Through PSU CAN Bus Interface

The alarms available through the CAN Bus for fans are:
• Fan 1 alarm: Fan 1 not operating, PSU has received a High signal (open collector)
from fan tray 1 through fan connector 1.
• Fan 2 alarm: Fan 2 not operating, PSU has received a high signal (open collector)
• Fan 3 alarm: Fan 3 not operating, PSU has received a high signal (open collector)
The controls available through the CAN Bus for fans are:
• No Fan 1: Prevents Fan 1 alarm (and associated LED) when no fan 1 is configured.

Airflow Chapter 12: Cooling Fans
Airflow
MTS 2:
The 2 BR card cage has a clear opening in the bottom front and small holes in the side and back. Ambient
airflow enters at the bottom of the front, back and sides and passes up through the modules. The optimal
solution is to allow the air inlet from all sides. At the top of the card cage there is enough space for the air to
distribute and spread. It then passes up through the filter section and out of the venting grill at the top. If there
is nothing in close area to sides, the air can also exit here. The airflow routing is the same with or without fans.
Figure 12-2 MTS 2 Airflow
MTS 4:
In MTS 4 the airflow is different. The additional depth and width of the cabinet are used to guide and
separate ambient air intake and heated air outlet. For both card cages the main airflow of ambient air
enters at the front. At the bottom card cage the air can enter from all sides. For the top card cage the
air has to pass in front of and behind the bottom card cage. In the front, between the modules and the
cabinet door. In the back, between the bottom card cage back and the back of the cabinet. The flow is
obstructed by an insert which guides the hot air from the bottom card cage out to the sides and up between
the top card cage and the cabinet sides. The exhaust from the top card cage could be partly obstructed
by a Cavity Combiner situated above. The exhaust can occur on all sides. No obstructions are inserted.
Due to the obstructions in the airflow, fans are required for all configurations of MTS 4.
The fans have a low rpm alarm indication. Each fan module (part no. 0166501N50) has two fans
inside. In case of failure, one of the fans still gives an airflow. Therefore the fan module is not
considered a periodic maintenance component, but is only replaced when it fails.

Natural convection cooling is applied. For example there is no fan when MTS 2 operates with a load
of 295W for 2 BRs, low power PA, plus a charge current of 3 A @ + 30 °C.
Forced air from fans placed below units is used when for example MTS 4 operates with a
load of 640W for MTS 4 with 2 BRs, MTCC, high power PA plus a charge current of 6 A

Site Controller Fault Indications

This section provides fault indications for the Site Controller.
Some indications list several possible failures along with corresponding corrective actions. If
a failure is isolated to the Site Controller, the suspected module should be replaced with a new
one (For a list of available FRUs, see Appendix A, "Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)". This
restores the system to normal operation as quickly as possible.
Suspected Site Controllers should be shipped to the appropriate Motorola repair depot for repair.
Fault indications should be considered in the order shown in Table 13-1.

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual Troubleshooting: Power
Troubleshooting: Power
• Check for Power Supply Unit failure.
• Verify power (voltage and polarity) on rear connector. If power is present and correct then
replace the Site Controller. Otherwise check for the Site Controller power supply cabling fault.
Ensure that the polarity of DC cable connection is correct, as it is reversed in comparison to MBTS.
Troubleshooting: status sc
This section details usage of the Application mode MMI command status sc for general
troubleshooting and to determine the Site Controller status.
Use the status sc command. Observe the “Overall Status” field of the resulting output and proceed as follows.
• If Overall Status = Active – <state> / <reason>, this is an indication that the Site Controller
is currently active, together with the site reference state and the reason for that state.
These states and reasons are explained in Table 13-2 and Table 13-3.
• If Overall Status = SC is going active – waiting for BRs, the Site Controller may
be unable to communicate with the BRs. Waiting for Site Controller configuration
file load, the configuration file may be corrupt or is not present. See "LED Fault
Indications " and "Troubleshooting: SC Config File".
Table 13-2 Site Reference States - status sc
Site Reference State Explanation

UNKNOWN The site reference is initializing - this is a transient state that may persist
for a few minutes at start up.
ENABLED_SYNC The site reference is fully trained to GPS - This is the highest level of
functionality.
DISABLED The site reference is not working.
FREE_RUN_SYNC This is the first level of fallback - The site reference will continue to provide
its highest level of service in this state until the free run timer expires.
NON_SYNC This is the second level fallback - The site reference is providing service
however any feature that needs sites to be synchronized may be impaired.
NON_SYNC_ADJ_REQ The site has been operating in its 2nd level fallback mode for too long (>
350 days) and should be disabled by the operator.
ENABLED_NON_SYNC The site has been configured to operate in its 2nd level fallback mode (FNC)
to enable start-up without GPS.

Table 13-3 Site Reference Reasons
Site Reference Reason Explanation

NO REASON Normal operation - no explanation needed
1PPS LOST The 1PPS timing source from the GPS is not present.
FREE_RUN_TIMER_EXPIRY The SR has been free running for longer than the time configured
during installation.
UHSO_AGING The UHSO (Ultra High Stability Oscillator) is approaching end of
life and will need replacing soon.
SITE_REF_ALARM An unspecified site reference condition has occurred.
FREQ_CALIB_TIMER_EXPIRY The SR has been free running without GPS for over 350 days -
GPS calibration is required to ensure RF frequency stability &
compliance.
GPS_OK The GPS receiver is supplying a valid 1PPS timing source.
Troubleshooting: SC Config File

The SC will not boot or operate correctly and GPS will not start training unless a valid configuration file
is stored in its flash filing system. Use the method described in General Check of a SC File to ensure
that either tsc.cf.1 or tsc.cf.2 is selected as the current file, and is shown as valid.
Troubleshooting: status bts

This section details usage of the Application mode MMI command status bts for general
troubleshooting and to determine the BTS subsystem status.

Troubleshooting: General Check of a Site Controller File Chapter 13: MTS Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting: General Check of a Site Controller File

To check the validity of a particular file in the Flash Filing System of the Site Controller, it is
necessary to use both the ls command and the attrib command as follows.
This example looks at the configuration file of the Site Controller.
Using the ls command first ensures that the information shared between ls and attrib is synchronised.
1. Use the ls command to produce a listing of all files on the Site Controller. There is no wildcard
option with ls. Check the files of interest that do not have any warning after their details. This
shows only a small part of the typical output.
reg.dat.bk1 0 - not set- 000000 00000000 (bad header)

tsc.cf.1.bk1 11635 - not set- 000000 2dbb8018
tsc.cf.2.bk1 0 - not set- 000000 00000000 (bad header)
In this example tsc.cf.1 looks like a valid file, whilst tsc.cf.2 has a bad header warning
so it can’t be valid. The ‘.bk1’ indicates that the file is back-up copy 1.
2. Use command attrib tsc.cf* to produce a listing of the configuration files attributes of the Site
Controller.
SC: attrib tsc.cf*

ATTRIB NAME VERSION DATE
----------------------------------------------------
----r- tsc.cf pr3swdl 20/02/2003_18:39:33
cn--r- tsc.cf.1 pr3swdl 20/02/2003_18:39:33
---w-a tsc.cf.2 - -
Note which file has the ‘c’ (Current) attribute and ensure that:
◦ It also has the ‘r’ (read) attribute. If the file has the w (write) attribute, it is not valid.
◦ Also check the generic file title (‘tsc.cf’ in this case) shares the
same version and date information.
If there is no valid file then this should be downloaded to the Site Controller again, using
either Dimetra BTS Service Software or Software Download (SWDL.)

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual MMI Fault Indications
MMI Fault Indications

Diagnosis of fault conditions are divided into diagnosis of the GPS/site reference and the site link.
Troubleshooting: GPS and Site Reference Faults

The timing subsystem within the MTS consists of two major components:
• the GPS receiver
• the Site Reference
The status sri command and its sub commands provide the capability to diagnose GPS
and Site Reference faults. An output similar to the one shown below will be obtained
for a fully functional internal 8 channel receiver
GPS STATE : GPS 3D FIX
Unsync Free Run Available (Days Hours : 2879 10 27
Mins)
Last Calibration Date Time : Thu Feb 1 08:40:25 2007
Calibration Due Date Time : Fri Jan 30 08:40:25 2015
GPS Time : Thu Feb 1 08:42:38 2007
UTC Time : Thu Feb 1 08:42:24 2007
Local Time : Thu Feb 1 10:42:24 2007
Precise UTC Time Mode : YES
Synchronized : YES
The following fields are of particular relevance during fault diagnosis:

• Site Reference Operating OK
YES: This indicates that the site reference is providing timing services to the Site Controller.
NO: The site reference is not operating, therefore the MTS will not be able to provide any
service. Examining the state of items below will indicate the reason for this condition.
6802800U74-N September 2009 13-9

Troubleshooting: GPS and Site Reference Faults Chapter 13: MTS Troubleshooting
• Site Reference State

Site Reference State = START UP: The Site Controller is starting up and the site reference
has not been fully initialized yet. The site reference and the MTS will not be operational at this
point. This is a normal transitory state.
Site Reference State = ACQUIRE FREQUENCY LOCK: The site reference is in the
process of locking to the reference signal provided by the GPS receiver. This process may take
several minutes. The MTS will not be able to provide any service until this process completes.
Site Reference State = MAINTAIN PHASE LOCK: This is a normal operational mode of
the site reference. The MTS will be synchronized with any other MTS that has attained this
state, this means that type 1 handovers and any other feature that require sites to be fully
synchronized will be available.
Site Reference State = SYNCHRONISED FREE RUN: This is a fallback state which
indicates that the MTS is not tracking sufficient GPS satellites to provide a timing reference
to the site. The MTS is capable of operating with no loss of performance for up to 12 hours
(dependent on configuration). If this condition occurs frequently or persists, the health of the
GPS system should be assessed. See GPS Tracking criteria and GPS Antenna evaluation in
section 4 of this manual
Site Reference State = UNSYNCHRONISED FREE RUN: This is a fallback state for
an ASC configured MTS and the normal operating state for FNC configured MTS. When
configured for ASC, the site will enter this state if adequate GPS tracking is not achieved
before the configured GPS start up timer expires or after the expiry of free run timer if the
site was previously synchronized. The site is capable of operating in this mode for up to 12
months. In this state the MTS is capable of providing all services except those that require
synchronization between adjacent sites, for example, type 1 handovers.
Site Reference State = MAINTAIN FREQUENCY LOCK: If an adequate GPS signal
becomes available whilst operating in UNSYNCHRONISED FREE RUN the MTS will enter
this state where the site reference calibration data will be updated, thus prolonging the amount
of time where service can be maintained.
Site Reference State = DISABLED: The site reference has detected an error and is unable to
provide any service. The MTS will not be able to provide any service whilst the site reference is
in this state. The cause of this state is dependent on the configured operating mode of the MTS:
◦ FNC / ASC: The MTS does not have any calibration data - The MTS needs to be
run initially with GPS before FNC operation without GPS is possible.
This condition may also be due to hardware failure within the Site Controller.
• Site Reference Configuration
Site Reference Configuration = ASC or FNC: This is the installation selected configuration
of the site reference subsystem. See "Site Reference Operation Modes" for details.
• Site Reference 1 PPS Input Status

Site Reference 1 PPS Input Status = OK or NOT OK: This indicates whether a
valid signal is being received by the site reference system.
• GPS Operating OK
GPS Operating OK = YES or NO: This indicates whether the GPS receiver is tracking
sufficient satellites to provide a timing reference input to the site reference. This parameter
should be YES for ASC operation. Detailed information on the GPS receiver may be obtained
from the status sri -t and status sri -gps commands. See the following section for details.
13-10 6802800U74-N September 2009

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual Troubleshooting: GPS and Site Reference Faults
• GPS State
GPS State = NOT TRACKING: The GPS receiver is not tracking any satellites. This
condition may persist for some minutes after start-up. Detailed information on the GPS
receiver may be obtained from the status sri -t and status sri -gps commands. See the following
section for details.
GPS State = POSITION HOLD/GPS 3D FIX: This is the normal operating state of the
external/internal GPS receiver.
GPS State = SITE SURVEY: The GPS receiver will operate in this state for several hours
after an MTS is started in a new location for the first time. The GPS receiver is attempting
to determine accurate coordinates to enable operation in position hold.
• GPS Satellites Tracked

GPS Satellites Tracked = <0.. 12>: This is the number of satellites
tracked that are available for timing.
If the status sri MMI command indicates that there are no satellites tracked,
then there may be a possible hardware fault. Refer to "GPS Receiver Detailed
Troubleshooting" on page 13-12 for further details.
• Sync Free Run Available

Sync Free Run Available (Minutes): This is the number of minutes that the MTS will operate
without any degradation of service if the GPS receiver stops working and the site reference is
configured for ASC operation. If the site reference is already in the free run state, the time
shown will be the balance of free run time before the MTS stops operating or switches to a
lower level of service.
Unsync Free Run Available (Days Hours Mins): This shows the amount of time the
sites 2nd level fallback (Unsynchronised free run) is capable of operating for. If the site
reference is already in Unsynchronised free run the time shown will be the amount of
time the MTS is capable of operating for before calibration is required.
• Last Calibration Date Time

Last Calibration Date Time: The site reference will be periodically calibrated
whenever an adequate GPS signal is available. The MTS is capable of providing
service for up to 12 months without GPS after each calibration. This parameter
shows the date and time of the last calibration snapshot.
• Calibration Due Date Time
Calibration Due Date Time: This shows the date where the MTS will need
calibration if the GPS receiver was to fail at this time.
• GPS Time
• UTC Time
• Local Time
• UTC Time Mode
UTC Time Mode = Not Precise or Precise: When the timing for the site reference is
being derived from the GPS receiver the UTC mode will be precise.
• Synchronised
Synchronised = YES or NO: This indicates whether this MTS is capable of
operating synchronously with any neighboring MTS.

and correction of GPS errors. Refer to the Tetra EBTS Service Software (TESS) User Guide.
• If no other fault replaces the Site Controller.
Troubleshooting Site Link Faults
Initial Verification
The suggested utility used to verify the IP pathway to the two Core Routers is the ping MMI command.
Pings should be attempted to both Core Routers using both the default ping packet size of 32 bytes as
well as using a packet size larger than the configured Frame relay fragmentation size. If router can
be successfully pinged using the default size of 32, but pings using the large size are unsuccessful,
this indicates an error in the configuration for Frame relay fragmentation.

Transmit Frames fragmented 126
Number of fragments transmitted 12
Number of received frames 4
Number of received fragments 8
Number of ignored fragments 0
Number of discards when disabled 0
13-14 6802800U74-N September 2009

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual IP and Audio
If the counter labeled "Number of discards when disabled" is not zero, this indicates that frame relay
fragmentation is disabled on the Site Controller, but enabled on the remote equipment. If however, there are
non zero values for the counters labeled "Transmit Framed fragmented" and "Number of fragments transmitted"
but the counters labeled "Number of received fragments" and "Number of received frames" are zero, this
would indicate that the remote equipment has not been configured for FRF.20 frame relay fragmentation.
IP and Audio
If - however - all is well with the site link, but there are issues with no uplink or downlink audio, the
likely culprits are either the configuration of the UDP port used for voice, the CRTP configuration
- or both. A quick check can be made for crtp activity by typing status crtp.
SC) status crtp
Compressed Frame Count 0
Decompressed Frame Count 99
Contexts Invalidated 1
Tx Context State Packets 0
Rx Context State Packets 0
Tx Full Header Packets 0
Rx Full Header Packets 1
Discards when disabled 0
If the compressed frame count is zero, check the configuration to determine if CRTP is - indeed
- enabled. If the decompressed frame count is zero, check the CRTP configuration on the core
router in order to ensure this is enabled, and not set to "passive"
If - however, the decompressed counter is non zero, it would indicate that the Site Controller is receiving
downlink audio, however - the packets are not getting processed for some other reason. It should then be
determined if the IP layer is discarding the received audio packets - this can be a result of not enabling
header extensions with CRTP on the core router. The command to use is netstat -a.
The section of interest would be the UDP statistics:
UDP datagrams delivered to UDP users 14114
UDP datagrams received for unknown ports 234
UDP datagrams received with other errors 0
UDP datagrams sent from this entity 14117

Outbound datagrams discarded 0
IP datagrams dropped due to no routes 0
If there are issues with configuration for CRTP "header extensions", this will be indicated by the
counter labeled "UDP datagrams received for unknown ports or with other errors".
Site Link
Troubleshooting the Site Link essentially consists of checking the correct operation of each
layer in the order starting with the physical layer.
The physical layer may be configured to be either E1 or X.21. The status bsl command
provides different information for the two interface types.
X.21 Interface
If the Site Link interface had been configured to use X.21 interface, the information
provided by the status bsl command is as follows:
SC) status bsl
Primary Site Link – Speed: 0 bps Rear port:X.21

State:DOWN
HDLC Statistics:- ----Rx---- ----Tx----

Good frames : 0 0
Overruns | Underruns : 0 0

Non octet aligned : 0
X.21 Interface:-
Clock Loss events : 2
I Line Off events : 0
Current Clock state : Failed
Current I Line state : On
Current C Line state : Off
• The Site Link State should be shown as ‘UP’, the number of good frames transmitted and
received should be non-zero and incrementing indicating site link traffic. The presence of
non-zero data in other numeric fields may indicate a possible Site Link Problem.
13-16 6802800U74-N September 2009

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual E1 Interface
• Verify that the ‘Current I Line and C Line states’ are shown as ‘ON’ and that
the ‘Current Clock state’ is shown as ‘OK’.
E1 Interface
If the site link interface had been configured to use an E1 interface, the state of the E1
interface may be determined by inspection of the front panel LEDs on the Site Controller.
E1 error conditions are indicated using its LEDs:
• If LED is AMBER – FE, CRC, BPV, PD
• If LED is RED – LOS
The LEDs labeled as "1", "2", on E1 port indicate the physical E1 port that had been configured
for the Site Link using the .e1config MMI command.

If the LED is indicating LOS (Loss of signal) error is illuminated, this indicates that there is no E1
framing signal being detected on the configured port. This may be due to external cabling issues,
the lack of a connection to remote E1 equipment, or simply connecting the E1 feed to the wrong E1
connector on the Site Controller. If the LED is AMBER, this indicates that:
• there are E1 framing errors currently being detected, this condition is usually transitory,
however, if persistent, it indicates a configuration mismatch of the E1 framing
method in use. Both ends should be either using E1 multi-frame, or double- frame,
but not a mix of the two framing modes –FE/CRC error
• the remote equipment is detecting errors on the traffic it is receiving on its E1 interface -
again, this may be caused through transitory errors, or a mismatched configuration
• electrical noise on the E1 connection, though this may also be caused by
faulty remote equipment –BPV error
.

For E1, the E1 statistics provide a running count of errors encountered or detected on the E1
interface. These include a count of the potential link loss errors as indicated by the front panel
LEDs. For convenience, the current E1 time slot configuration is also shown.
The HDLC statistics provide a running counter of HDLC frames transmitted and received on the site
link interface as shown by the "Good frames" counters. Incrementing counters with the absence of
incrementing error counters such as CRC/framing errors, Aborts, or Non octet aligned errors indicates the
correct transmission and reception of HDLC frames. Persistent large numbers of HDLC errors on an
interface configured for E1 indicates errors in the configuration of the E1 data time slots.

should be inspected in order to determine the stability of the two PVCs as determined by the LMI
link management protocol. If there is indication of rapid transitioning of the states of the PVCs,
or the two PVCs are indicated as inactive - special attention should be given to the DLCI values
displayed. If this is correct, this indicates a problem with the LMI layer.

The frames transmitted and the frames received counters should be incrementing between successive
invocations of status lmi . If the received counter is not incrementing, this indicates that the remote
equipment is not responding to LMI enquiry packets transmitted by the Site Controller - the problem
is probably external to the Site Controller. However, if the receive counter is incrementing, it would
indicate a configuration issue, either with the LMI configuration, or with the configuration of the DLCI's
for the PVCs, check the DLCI numbers displayed by using the status fr command for the DLCI
numbering, and use the display config command to verify the configuration for LMI.

Note that if LMI has been disabled in the Site Controller's configuration, no LMI exchanges will

this may be as a result of an unintended configuration error.

Troubleshooting Procedures
The Base Radio is computer-controlled and employs digital signal processing techniques. Many
of the troubleshooting and station operation procedures require Man-Machine Interface (MMI)
commands. These commands are used to communicate station level commands to the Base Radio
through the RS-232 communications port located on the front of the BRC.
The field maintenance philosophy for the Base Radio is to repair by replacement. The station
is comprised of self-contained Field Replaceable Units (FRU).
A defective FRU is replaced with a non-defective module. This method of troubleshooting limits
down-time and quickly restores the Base Radio back to normal operation.
Ship defective modules to a Motorola repair depot for repair.
This manual provides two troubleshooting procedures for the Base Radio. Each procedure
is designed to quickly identify faulty modules.
Routine Checkout
Procedure 1 is a quick, non-intrusive test performed during a routine site visit. Use this
procedure to verify proper station operation without taking the station out of service. Figure 13-3
shows the Procedure 1 Troubleshooting Flowchart.

When adding an additional (redundant) Site Controller there will be some service
downtime while making physical modifications.
Process 15-2 Adding a Redundant Site Controller

1 Back up the Site Controller configuration of the existing Site Controller, See Process 8-2, "MTS
- Configuration Backup," on page 8-19.
This assumes that the existing Site Controller is properly configured and in service.
2 Add second Site Controller, see Procedure 15-5 below.
3 Restore the Site Controller Software on the second Site Controller, see Process 8-3, "MTS -
Restoring the Site Controller Software," on page 8-23.
4 Configure E1 Links on the second Site Controller, see Procedure 8-12, "MTS - How to Configure
E1 Links," on page 8-29.
5 Configure CAN Bus on the second Site Controller, see "MTS - Configuring CAN Bus" on
page 8-33.
6 Load Ki’s into MTS. See "MTS - Loading Ki's Into MTS" on page 8-34.
7 Check the MTS post-restoration checks. See "MTS - Site Controller Post-Restoration Checks"
on page 8-39.
When adding a second Site Controller it will automatically become standby meaning
that performance of Site Controller post-restoration checks will not be possible.
In order to perform a Site Controller Post-restoration check on the second Site
Controller, the first Site Controller needs to be reset allowing the second Site
Controller to become active leading to interruption of service for several seconds.

Planned Maintenance Inspection (PMI)
In order to assist maintainers of Motorola Dimetra products, Motorola publishes advice for recommended.
Planned Maintenance Inspections (PMI). For each Motorola Part Number, the Inspection Schedule indicates
whether any PMI action is required/recommended, the regularity of the recommended/required action,
and a brief description of the activity. The Inspection Schedule also indicates Motorola's recommended
PMI testing activities that should be carried out as part of the PMI Schedule.
The PMI Inspection Schedule should always be read in conjunction with the relevant Motorola or
Motorola 3rd party suppliers’ Standard Product Manuals and any Technical Information Bulletins
(TIBs), where the methods of access and other information will be located.
In additional to the Planned Maintenance Inspections related to those specific Part Numbers below, Motorola
recommends that basic functional testing should be carried out every 24 months. These functional tests should
include RF Power Measurements, RF Frequency measurements, and Bit Error Rate measurements.
Motorola recommends regular site visits for other inspections, for example, site physical
security checks, generator maintenance, and so on.
Motorola also recommends that the antennae and PSU/Battery/UPS are also inspected and
functionally tested as advised by the respective manufacturers.
Note that the prime cabinet/expansion cabinet has ventilation holes and
is not suitable for environmentally unfriendly locations. Make sure the
ventilation holes and grilles are never covered.
It is recommended that periodic inspections of the heatsinks and interior of the MTS
are made. These will require cleaning occasionally due to the buildup of dust. The
frequency of this inspection is dependent upon the local environment and is more important
when the MTS is operating at a high ambient temperature.
Where used, the back-up battery charged by the MTS should be checked in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Static Precautions and ESD Strap
This Appendix covers the following topics:
• "Static Sensitive Precautions "
• "ESD Wrist Strap Safety Precautions"
Static Sensitive Precautions

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
The static grounding wrist strap (Motorola P/N 4280385A59) must always be used when
handling any board or module within the MTS. Many of the boards or modules used in the
MTS equipment are vulnerable to damage from static charges.
Extreme care must be taken while handling, shipping, and servicing these boards or modules.
To avoid static damage, observe the following precautions:
• Prior to handling, shipping, and servicing MTS equipment, connect a wrist strap to the
grounding clip on the equipment cabinet which is located at the bottom of the cabinet and
marked with a yellow label. This discharges any accumulated static charges.
Use extreme caution when wearing a conductive wrist strap

near sources of high voltage. The low impedance provided by
the wrist strap also increases the danger of lethal shock should
accidental contact with high voltage sources occur.
• Avoid touching any module, board circuitry, including any connector pins with your hands.
• Before removing a board or module, disconnect its individual power supply first.
• Avoid carpeted areas, dry environments, and certain types of clothing (silk, nylon, and
so on) during service or repair due to the possibility of static buildup.
• Apply power to the circuit under test before connecting low impedance test equipment
(such as pulse generators). When testing is complete, disconnect the test equipment
before power is removed from the circuit under test.
6802800U74-N September 2009 C-1

ESD Wrist Strap Safety Precautions Appendix C: Static Precautions and ESD Strap
• Be sure to ground all electrically powered test equipment. Connect a ground lead (-) from
the test equipment to the board or module before connecting the test probe (+). When
testing is complete, remove the test probe first, then remove the ground lead.
• Lay all circuit boards and modules on a static dispersive surface (a proper
antistatic map) when removed from the system. This mat will be connected
to ground through a high resistance element.
• Never use non-conductive material for packaging modules being transported. All modules
should be wrapped with anti-static packaging material. Replacement modules shipped from
the factory are packaged in a conductive material, for example, antistatic bag.
ESD Wrist Strap Safety Precautions

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
The purpose of the ESD socket built into the cabinet housing is to give a service or installation technician a
point to which a wire from a wrist strap can be connected. This is for ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection.
1. Use of an ESD wrist strap and ESD earthing point
C-2 6802800U74-N September 2009

MTS 2 and MTS 4 Installation, Configuration and Basic Service Manual ESD Wrist Strap Safety Precautions
Figure C-1 Connecting the ESD Strap
ESD wrist strap use is critical in the following cases:

• Replacement of any module inside a box. This includes service of any modules in a base radio.
• Service of receiver multicoupler (RMC). The RMC is a relatively open mechanical
design and ESD protection is critical when servicing this module. In case of field repair
the first step should be to connect the cable to the Duplexer or Preselector. Second
step will be to connect to the RMC. Never do this vice versa.
Special attention must be made to the cable that connects the Duplexer and Preselector
RX outputs to the inputs of the RMC. Never connect or disconnect this cable
without using a correctly earthed ESD wrist strap.
