Failure to comply with the following general safety precautions and with specific precautions described elsewhere in this manual violates the safety standards of the design, manufacture, and intended use of this product. Axell Wireless assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these precautions. This entire manual should be read and understood before operating or maintaining the remote. All servicing must be carried out by certified servicing engineers.
Observe electrostatic precautionary procedures. ESD = Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Device. Semiconductor transmitters and receivers provide highly reliable performance when operated in conformity with their intended design. However, a semiconductor may be damaged by an electrostatic discharge inadvertently imposed by careless handling. Static electricity can be conducted to the semiconductor chip from the centre pin of the RF input connector, and through the AC connector pins. When unpacking and otherwise handling the remote, follow ESD precautionary procedures including use of grounded wrist straps, grounded workbench surfaces, and grounded floor mats. Equipment described in this manual are equipped with class 1 lasers, as per definition in EN 60825-1 Caution - Un-terminated optical receptacles may emit laser radiation. Exercise caution as follows: Do not stare into beam or view with optical instruments. Optical transmitters in the fibre optic converter can send out high energy invisible laser radiation. There is a risk for permanent damage to the eye. Always use protective cover on all cables and connectors which are not connected. Never look directly into a fibre cable or a connector. Consider that a fibre can carry transmission in both directions. During handling of laser cables or connections, ensure that the source is switched off. Regard all open connectors with respect and direct them in a safe direction and never towards a reflecting surface. Reflected laser radiation should be regarded as equally hazardous as direct radiation.

1 Introduction
Axell OMU II is a scalable, flexible and remotely manageable fibre-to-optic conversion system designed to provide media conversion and single source management capabilities for Axell highpower and low-power fibre-fed Remote units. OMU II is a head-end system that acquires the RF signal(s) from an external source, such as base station(s) or an off-air device, and converts the RF signal into light signals for routing via optical fibres to remote Axell devices. Depending on the model and the physical configuration, OMU II can support up to eight sectors (where support for more than two sectors requires the use of Axells Point Of Interface (POI) unit in conjunction with the OMU II). OMU II can provide single source remote Web access commissioning and monitoring via a range of remote modems or an Ethernet connection, where the hosted remote units are be monitored and managed via an OMU II session.

1.2 Architecture
OMU II comprises of a chassis in which various modules are installed and whose rear panel varies (model dependent) to support one RF sector, two RF sectors or up to eight RF sectors (the latter requires the use of a POI unit). OMU II main function is to perform the RF to optic conversion from the RF source and route the optic signal over the optical fibres towards fibre-fed Axell remotes. Two main types of remotes are supported: high-power and low-power. Each optic conversion module provides power to a single high-power remote, where up to 8 optic conversion modules are supported. To support low-powered fibre-fed remotes, an optic splitter module is used to split the optical signal from one converter into four, feeding four low-powered fibre-fed remote units. Thus, various combinations of supported remote units can be achieved, within the given limitations. The valid combination of both high-power and low-power remotes per OMU II is detailed in section 1.5. Below is a general example of an OMU II configuration fed by a single sector (BTS) and a combination of high power (e.g. MBF-40, BSF-3604) and low power (MBF-20) remote fibre-fed units.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USERS MANUAL The following figure illustrates one high-powered and four low-power remote connections to the opto-board and optic splitter board.

34
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USERS MANUAL Verify Circuit Switched Modem Functionality 1. Use the ACT RCD command via the Axell Shell or via Terminal to launch a modem restart (if logged in, restart will be performed on the first logout). 2. Dial the modem number (if PSTN) or the data number (if SIM card). 3. Verify modem LEDs are lit correctly (see 6.2). 4. Use any ACT command using the RMC or other Terminal to test connectivity and responsiveness. 3.5.2.3 SIM-card Using Single Numbering Scheme If using SNS (Single Numbering Scheme), calls to the modem within the network are automatically classified as DATA. However, if calling from outside the network, you must first verify how its interfaces handle the VOICE vs. DATA bearing. This cannot be solved at remote level. The external network administrator must provide the above information.
To estimate the signal levels in the system, a link budget should be prepared before the system is made operational. This section provides background on calculating the required attenuation values along the link and describes how to set the attenuation value in the management application.
35
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USERS MANUAL Examples: RF Input = 11dBm, no additional attenuation is needed (11dBm 14dB = -3dBm) RF Input = 20dBm, an attenuation of 9dB is needed. Set the attenuation according to section 3.6.2 Note: As the composite power in a multicarrier TETRA / TDMA / W-CDMA / LTE system is traffic dependent, the maximum laser input power must be calculated for the traffic scenario that will require highest composite power.

6 Troubleshooting
6.1 Troubleshooting Remote Communication
Since many networks have their own personality, performing first time configuration of the remote communication sometimes requires tweaking of the modem parameters. This section describes some trouble shooting techniques if configuring the OMU for remote access fails.
Laptop
RS232
Switch Centre
This illustration is a simplified schematic of the remote communication between a GSM module in an OMU and an analogue modem. The analogue modem in the computer communicates with the Interworking Function Unit (IFU), which is the GSM network analogue network interface. The call is routed via the switch centre over the air interface to the data call number in the SIM-card of the GSM module. The Control Module is responsible for establishing connections with the Axell Element Manager, and to answer incoming calls to the OMU. As described in previous sections, the Control Module only accepts one login at a time, either via Local Maintenance port (LMT) or modem connection. Hence, when verifying the remote access of the OMU, it is important to log out from the OMU locally before trying to access the OMU remotely. 6.1.1.1 Direct Modem Access To allow for advanced trouble shooting of the communications, it is possible to access the modem directly via the Control Module from a laptop computer.
LMT Port GSM Control Module Module Laptop RS232 cable
Log in to the OMU using the Web-GUI. Switch to Advanced mode and access the Axell Shell dialog. Type in the command
ACCESS MODEM <Enter>.
When typing ACCESS MODEM, the controller will send all the characters that are typed directly out to the modem port. All characters replied back from the modem will go directly to the LMT port and back to the computer.
54
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USERS MANUAL To abort an ACCESS MODEM session, press three - in a row (all three within one second) to come back to the OMU command prompt.
Note: When accessing the modem port the modem might be configured with echo off, meaning that
the characters entered will not be echoed back to the screen. In order to enable echo, press Enter. Type
ATE1 <enter>
indicating that the echo is enabled. All characters entered will now be echoed back to the terminal program. Below is a list of handy modem commands for trouble shooting via Direct Modem Access. Please refer to the modem manual for details on the commands below. Command ATE1 ATDT<Telephone Number> ATA ATH Description Enables the echo between the modem and the Control Module. Causes the modem to dial <Telephone Number>. This can be used to verify that the modem correctly can dial a remote modem. Answer incoming call Hang up call. Note, if being online to the remote peer, you need to go to command mode to hang up the call. This is done by waiting at least one second since last entered character, then press +++ (three plus signs), all within one second. After one second, the modem will reply OK, meaning that command mode is entered. Disables the loudspeaker in the modem Enables the loudspeaker in the modem Saves the current modem configuration into NVRAM. This means that this configuration will be used directly after modem power up Loads the modem factory configuration Resets the modem, and loads the default settings as saved with command AT&W
55
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USERS MANUAL 6.1.1.2 Trace Modem For troubleshooting purposes it is possible to trace the actual progress of initializing the modem. This trace is useful when having problems with the modem initialization. Go to Terminal Mode and type
TRACE MODEM
To end session type CTRL-Z 6.1.1.3 Manually Answering Incoming Calls It is possible to manually answer incoming calls without involving the OMU software at all, to verify that the remote access and the network itself works as intended. In order to verify the remote communication, make sure to have someone stand by to dial up the OMU with a terminal emulation program, for example HyperTerminal. Go in to Direct Modem Access as described in 6.1.1.1. When in direct access mode, ask the person standing by to dial up the OMU. As soon as a call is received, the text
RING
This will inform the modem to answer (ATtention Answer). When the connection is established, a connect message will be displayed including the connection speed. Sometimes the information comes together with some miscellaneous information, such as error correction protocols etc.
Note: Make sure the remote peer dials the Data Call number
If the voice number is dialled instead of the data number, or if the modem contains an illegal modem initialization string, the message
OK
or
NO CARRIER
will be displayed almost immediately. Try to change the modem initialization string. The modem initialization string mainly used to configure the remote communication is AT+CBST. Successful modem initialization strings used by Axell Wireless include (most common first):
AT+CBST=71,0,1;\Q3 AT+CBST=7,0,1;\Q3
56
Once the modem initialization string is entered, try again to dial up the OMU. For details on the different modem initialization strings, please refer to the modems user guide. If the setup is successful, the connect message will be brought up;
CONNECT 9600
This means that an online connection is established to the remote peer. From now on, all characters typed on the keyboard will end up on the remote peers screen. Similarly, all characters typed by the remote peer will be displayed on the screen. In the example, the incoming call was successfully answered, and the remote user entered the text message.
In order to come back to modem command mode, press +++ (three pluses) rapidly (within one second). Receiving
OK
will be displayed.
57
When enabling the remote access for the OMU, the modem fails to log in to the network.
Solution
Signal strength from the donor site is too low. The signal strength can be read directly from the modem. Go in to Direct Modem Access as described earlier. Use the command AT+CSQ (documented below) to read out the signal strength. In order to have good signal quality, Axell Wireless recommends that the signal strength should be better than -95 dBm. If signal strength is lower, try to adjust the antennas to get a better signal strength from the donor.
In the example the reply to AT+CSQ is 0,7 meaning 7*2 dB above -113 dBm; the modem detects a signal level of -99 dBm.
Problem 2a
OMU is configured properly, and answers the incoming call, but when trying to dial the OMU using an analogue mode, no modem handshaking is heard from the dialling modem.
Problem 2b
58
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USERS MANUAL When dialling the OMU, the OMU answers the incoming call, but no connection is established, and after a while the OMU disconnects the call.
Solution
The most common cause is that the number called is the voice number of the SIM, not the data number. Therefore, make sure to dial the data number. If data call is used, the problem probably is an illegal modem initialization string. In order to change the modem string, go to the OMU command prompt. Try changing the modem initialization string and log out to let the controller reinitialize the modem. If problem remains, try a few different modem initialization strings. Axell Wireless has been successful with the following modem initialization strings:
AT+CBST=71,0,1;\Q3 AT+CBST=7,0,1;\Q3 AT+CBST=0,0,1;\Q3 AT+CBST=0,0,1;\Q3 AT+CBST=7,0,3;\Q3
Please refer to the modem manual for detailed description of the modem initialization strings.
Problem 3
It is possible to call the OMU from another GSM mobile, but not from an analogue modem.
Solution
This problem is most likely related to the modem configuration and/or the configuration of the IFU unit. Try to decrease the communications speed and make sure that the modem error correction is supported by the IFU. Verify the IFU configuration to see if there are any known problems with the modem connections.
Problem 4
When dialling the OMU, or when the OMU is dialling the Element Manager, the connection is terminated before the handshaking is completed.
Solution
When an OMU is answering an incoming modem call, or calling up the OMC to deliver an alarm or a report, the OMU will wait a configurable number of seconds for the call to be established. If no communication is established within this time, the call will be hung up. If this interval is set too low, the handshaking is terminated too fast. In the RMC, verify the Modem Connect Time to see that it is set to at least 30 seconds.

Verify the remote communication either by having someone attempting to integrate the remote from the Axell Element Manager, or by dialling the remote using the Remote Maintenance Console.
Note: It is very important to dial the data number of the SIM. In case the voice number is dialled, the
call is answered, but almost immediately the call will be hung up.

8 Maintenance
8.1 General
The system normally operates without any operator intervention or maintenance. Should the system malfunction, the condition of the antenna systems as well as the continuity of the cabling should be checked before replacing any of the OMU units. In the unlikely event of a unit failure, the field replaceable components (antenna unit, cables, etc.) should be checked and replaced if faulty and the system restored. A failed unit can be removed and replaced with a spare while the rest of the system (other OMUs) is still in operation. This product is equipped with Class 1 lasers, as per definition in EN 60825-1. Caution!!! Un-terminated optical receptacles may emit laser radiation. Do not stare into beam or view with optical instruments.
Note: The power supply of the failed OMU should be isolated from AC mains and DC power before

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USERS MANUAL The Cleaning Procedure: Dry Cleaning ATTENTION!
Invisible laser radiation might be emitted from disconnected fibres or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
1. Before cleaning the optical connectors on the OMU it is advisable to clean the connector of the mating cable being attached to the optical port. An unclean optical connector is often the cause for reduced system performance. A bit of dust or oil from a finger can easily interfere with, or block light. Fortunately, it is very easy to clean the connector. Be sure to use the correct procedure for the given connector. When disconnected, cap the SC/APC connector to keep it clean and prevent scratching the tip of the ferrule.
Use a product specially designed for the purpose, such as the Cletop type S Cassette Cleaner.
2. Begin by dry cleaning the F/O bulkhead connector (shown below is the Fujikura One-Click in use). Always make sure there is a way of inspecting the connector after cleaning. Cleaning can actually leave the end-face in a worse condition, since alcohol residue is one of the most difficult contaminants to remove.
IMPORTANT
3. Remove the protective cap from the cleaning-head end of the One Click cleaner, lift the protective endcap on the fibre connector and offer-up the end to the fibre connector
87
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USERS MANUAL 4. With the cleaning-head end fully engaged in the connector, push until an audible click is heard 5. Without fully withdrawing the cleaning head end push it in again twice more, each time until an audible click is heard. 6. Withdraw the One Click cleaner and replace the protective end cap. 7. Inspect the fibre connector using a Fibrescope. On the PC monitor, verify that there is no contamination present on the connector end-face. 8. If the connector is dirty, clean it with a wet cleaning technique followed immediately by dry cleaning. This is to remove any remaining residue from the wet clean (the following steps demonstrate a wet cleaning technique).
88
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USERS MANUAL Wet Cleaning Invisible laser radiation might be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
ATTENTION!
1. Lightly moisten a new lint-free wipe with 99% isopropyl alcohol. (Step 1 below). Tip: Have a dry lint-free swab available for immediately drying after performing the wet-cleaning. 2. Lightly press and turn a clean lint-free swab in the moistened area of the wipe to moisten the swab. It is important that the swab is not too wet. (Step 2 below). 3. Insert the moistened lint-free swab into the bulkhead adapter. Lightly press and rotate several times in the same direction. (Step 3 below). Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Wet-Cleaning Technique 4. Immediately use a dry lint-free swab to clear any remaining alcohol residue.
NOTE: Do not re-use any of the wipes and/or swabs. Dispose of them properly.
5. Follow steps 3 to 6 of Dry Cleaning above 6. Re-inspect the fibre using the Fibrescope. On the PC monitor, verify that there is no contamination present on the connector end-face. 7. If the fibre is still dirty, go back to step 1 (Wet Cleaning) and repeat the entire process.
NOTE: The entire wet/dry cleaning cycle should only be used twice, if the fibre is still dirty after two cycles of wet/dry cleaning seek advice from the Axell Wireless Support Desk.
