ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
3.2.1. General
Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings.
1. This unit contains dangerous voltages. Loss of life, severe personal
injury or property damage can be the result if the instructions contained
in this manual are not followed.
2. It is compulsory to ground the unit before connecting power supply. A
grounding bolt is provided on the cabinet to connect the ground bonding
cable.
3. Although the unit is internally protected against overvoltage, it is
strongly recommended to earth the antenna cables close to the units
antenna connectors for protection against atmospheric discharge. In
areas with strong lightning it is strongly recommended to insert
additional lightning protection.
4. Hard wired installation of mains supply for the unit requires an easily
accessible separation device in the mains circuit.
5. Make sure that an appropriate circuit breaker and an overcurrent limiting
device are connected between mains and the unit.
6. A connection of mains supply to a power socket requires the power
socket to be nearby the unit.
7. The unit might be supplied from IT mains. (The maximum nominal line to
line voltage must not exceed 400 VAC).
8. Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic
components.
9. To avoid corrosion at the connectors caused by electrochemical
processes, the material of the cable connectors must not cause a higher
potential difference than 0.6V (see electrochemical contact series).
10. It is sufficient to tighten the 7/16 or N antenna connector hand-screwed.
Any use of a tool (e.g. pair of pliers) might cause damage to the
connector and thus lead to malfunctioning of the unit.
11. For unstable electric networks which frequently generate spikes, it is
advised to use a voltage limiting device.
12. The unit complies with the surge requirement according to EN 61000-4-5
(fine protection), however, it is recommended to install an additional
medium (via local supply connection) and/or coarse protection (external
surge protection) depending on the individual application in order to
avoid damage caused by overcurrent.
13. Observe the labels on the front panels before connecting any cables.

3 Installation
3.2.4. Connection of the Antenna Cables
The Node Gs antenna connectors are 7/16 female (optionally equipped with an N
female adapter). All connectors are located at the bottom of the cabinet. An operator
should refer to the documentation of the cable connector manufacturer for best
mating procedures. Furthermore, the bending radius of the antenna cables should be
maintained at all times.
There are several issues to be considered when selecting the cable and antenna
types.
Highly directional antennas with good front-back-ratios (40 dB is typical) are
recommended because they improve isolation and cell site selectivity.
Smaller diameter cables are less expensive and easier to install but have
worse performance.
Tighten the 7/16 or N connectors ONLY by hand. The use of pliers may cause
damage to the connector and impair the performance of the Node G.

4 Functional Description
4.2.7. Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)
This feature enables the provider to query the status of the antenna system (antenna
and cable). The voltage standing wave ratio of the DL output antenna port is
measured.
If the VSWR falls below the value set in the Alarming Management of the software,
an alarm is released. The alarm can be forwarded to the OMC where the faults and
irregularities can be acknowledged and eliminated promptly.
The current VSWR value can be checked in the Status and Reports menu
accessible via the home page of the web interface.
4.2.8. Status Information
The Status and Reports menu, which is accessible via the home page of the web
interface, provides information about the current gain, isolation, output level and
receive signal strength indication (RSSI) values.
The RSSI provides controlling and monitoring of the receive level of a Node B (DL
RSSI) or user equipment (UL RSSI) to a Node G. It measures the level of the input
signal by detecting the RF and converting the analogue level into a digital value. The
data are processed and evaluated by software. A corresponding measurement is
also made for the output levels. The module can detect RSSI and output levels per
time slot.
4.2.9. Alarm Forwarding
Alarms can be forwarded to a defined phone number or to the OMC if the Node G is
equipped with a modem or a mobile station. This enables the provider to control and
to query the status of the network via packet switched or circuit switched connection.
Faults and irregularities can be recognized and eliminated.
With an optional modem the Node G also provides an SMS feature, by which the unit
is able to send out alarm messages as SMS. For further details please contact your
supplier.

4.3.3. Modem
The modem is used to establish a remote connection to the Node G. The connection
may be used to change the units parameters, check and clear alarms or collect
measurement and quality statistics.
Furthermore, the modem is at the Node Gs request to alert the operator when there
is an alarm. The modem may be over-the-air (wireless) or public switched telephone
network (PSTN). It is possible to install the wireless modem or the PSTN modem on
site.

4.3.4. Digital Channel Module (DCM) Establishing a Local Connection from Laptop or PC
The task of the digital channel module (DCM) is to filter and amplify any signals
passing through it. In addition it takes measurements of the input and output signals
and decodes the air interface to ensure proper setup and operation.
Finally it performs the interference cancellation algorithms, which eliminate the
normal problems associated with isolation, and has an integrated controller for the
entire Node G, which maintains a web server for local and remote communication.
This process is accomplished by both analogue and digital means.
The DCM is able to amplify two channels for uplink and downlink. The UL power
amplifier is integrated in the DCM.
Page 45
Page 46
M0121A2D.doc
4 Functional Description
4.3.5. Battery Pack - Battery On/Off
In case power fails, a battery backup system for controller and modem has been
implemented. This provides enough power for the controller that is integrated into the
DCM and the modem to operate for a limited period of time (battery backup time).
Within this time, the Node G will initiate a call to the OMC and alert the operator that
power has been lost. All other functions will cease to work in case of power failure.
The battery pack is protected from deep discharge. When performing preventive
maintenance, make sure that all circuits are voltage free by disconnecting the battery
cable from the DCM. In case of a power cycle, it is sufficient to press the Battery
disconnect button on the EAC-card to interrupt the voltage supply. After mains is
connected again, the battery will be charged and the battery backup function will be
available again.
For technical data of the battery pack refer to chapter Specifications \ Battery Pack.
Page 47
Battery On/Off
A pushbutton on the EAC-card is implemented to disconnect the battery pack from
the controller. This forces a hard reset of the system.
Once disconnected, the power to the controller will not be restored until the DC
supply is again operational.

4.3.6. UL and DL Duplexer
The duplexer is used to isolate the uplink from the downlink, i.e. to separate the
transmitting path from the receiving path. The pass band of the duplexer is the full
band (EGSM). This allows the same Node G to be used regardless of its operators
frequency plan.
The UL and DL duplexers have multiple outputs, including the primary and extension
path, plus forward and reverse probes used for auto setup, VSWR, and RSSI
functions.

MAINTENANCE
5.1.
GENERAL
Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings.
) Note:
It is only recommended to replace the battery pack of the battery backup option after
two years of usage as a preventive measure. The nominal lifetime of the battery pack
is approximately two years under normal environmental conditions.
In the event of a malfunction, the user should check the status of the antennas,
feeder cables, connectors, and mains power before replacing any components.
5.2.
REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS
Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings.
Maintenance of the Node G should be performed on a field replaceable unit (FRU)
basis only. Do not damage the warranty labels on the components, as this voids the
warranty.
The spare parts list contains only units that can be replaced without tuning or
soldering work. It is not recommended to replace any components inside the Node G
itself, except of PSU, battery pack and modem.
) Note:
) Note:
To open the cabinet, observe the instructions in chapter 3.2.5 Opening the Cabinet Mains Power Switch.
) Note:
If the battery pack is installed, disconnect the battery cable from the
charge module connector as described in chapter 4.3.5 Battery , to
ensure that all circuits are voltage-free.
) Note:
To replace an FRU, use the appropriate tools. The tools are provided along with the
equipment.
Replacement tools may be ordered from the supplier.

Node G 1940: The manufacturers rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For
situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially
where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power
reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the
device.

9.1.
GENERAL
The Node G is available with the functionality frequency shifting. The utilization of this
feature causes some modifications in the software application.
In the following chapters all pages are listed which differ from the Node G without
frequency shifting.
9.2.
9.2.1. Purpose
A GSM Cellular communication system provides a two-way information transfer
(voice and data) between a BTS (base station) and multiple subscriber units.
Environmental variables such as physical structures both man-made (buildings) and
natural (mountains) attenuate signals in the transmission path which reduce the
transport signal strength. This attenuation leads to a reduction in quality and data
rate and eventually prohibits the systems use entirely. The Node G FS is specifically
designed to extend coverage and to enhance quality in a GSM system.
In the past, GSM Frequency Shiftings (G FS) primary function were to ensure high
output power on sites where the gain of the repeater was limited by the isolation
between the donor and the coverage antenna.
This has changed dramatically with the implementation of Node G and its
outstanding Interference Cancellation Equipment (ICE). However, frequency shifting
still makes sense when omni coverage antennas are required and when a BTS
sector needs to be made remote. In order to support also this kind of applications the
Node G FS is the ideal complement to the standard Node G.
A frequency shifting system consists of two elements:
- The Base Transceiver Station (BTS) Unit which is located at the base station and
transmits the signals to the Remote Unit (RU) using a frequency different to the
original.
- The Remote Unit, which can be placed at a far distance to the BTS Unit, reconverts
the signals to the original frequency and provides coverage for the area.
Both enhancers are capable of filtering and amplifying from 1 to 4 GSM, GPRS,
EDGE channels across the entire band.
Page 89
) Note:
Page 90
M0121A2D.doc
The Node Gs antenna connectors are 7/16 female (optionally equipped with an N
female adapter). All connectors are located at the bottom of the cabinet. An operator
should refer to the documentation of the cable connector manufacturer for best
mating procedures. Furthermore, the bending radius of the antenna cables should be
maintained at all times.
There are several issues to be considered when selecting the cable and antenna
types.
Highly directional antennas with good front-back-ratios (40 dB is typical) are
recommended because they improve isolation and cell site selectivity.
Smaller diameter cables are less expensive and easier to install but have
worse performance.
Tighten the 7/16 or N connectors ONLY by hand. The use of pliers may cause
damage to the connector and impair the performance of the Node G.

WIRELESS MODEM
The modem that are used for Node G are also available for Node G FS-BTS and
Node G-RU.
In case of Node G x35 FS-BTS with Rx/Tx separate option the difference to the Node
G is the RF connection to the modem. Since the BTS Tx and Rx are seperated they
have to be combined by a double-dualband coupler before a modem can be
connected.
