Creating FCOA Configurations

C.1.3 Antenna sharing (co-siting)

The Dual Duplexer Module (ERxA) can be configured to share the Rx

diversity signal between Flexi EDGE BTS and an external BTS (or other
receiver).

For details, see Dual Duplexer Module (ERxA) Description.

C.1.4 Internal switching to 4-way uplink diversity (4UD)

Flexi EDGE BTS uses an internal switch to designate configurations as 2-

way uplink diversity (2UD) or 4-way uplink diversity (4UD). The switch is
based on the Site Configuration File (SCF):

.
If RxDivA/B connectors are not defined as in use in the SCF, the
switch is set to 2UD.
. If RxDivA/B connectors are defined as in use in the SCF, the switch
is set to 4UD.

The Site Configuration Files are used for commissioning the Flexi EDGE
BTS. For details, see Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS Commissioning.

The RxDivA/B connectors on the Dual TRX (EXxA) Module are also used
for configurations which require splitting a Dual TRX Module into separate
cell areas (such as cost-optimised configurations, 1+3).

For details about the Dual TRX Module connectors, see Dual TRX Module
(EXxA) Description.

C.2 Mixed Remote Tune Combiner (ECxA) and Dual Duplexer Module
(ERxA) configurations

Configurations with a mix of Remote Tune Combiner (ECxA) and Dual

Duplexer Module (ERxA) sectors are allowed. In these configurations,
BUS and PWR cabling should follow table Bus and internal power cabling
in mixed Remote Tune Combiner and Dual Duplexer Module
configurations. The table shows to which ESMA and ESEA BUS and PWR
connectors the cables from each EXxA and ECxA must be connected.

A maximum of two Remote Tune Combiner Modules and nine Dual

Duplexer Modules are allowed per site in mixed Remote Tune Combiner
and Dual Duplexer Module configurations. For RF cabling instructions,
follow the appropriate instructions for each sector.

 Creating FCOA Configurations

Appendix E Creating common configurations

E.1 4+4+4 2-way 2UD configuration in FCOA

For creating this configuration, you need:

. 6 Dual TRX Modules (EXxA)

.
3 Dual Duplexer Modules (ERxA)
. 1 System Module (ESMA)
.
6 Wideband Combiner Submodules (EWxx)
. 1 Flexi Cabinet for Outdoor (FCOA)
.
If 24V DC or AC power is used, see module installation order in
Optional power modules (FPDA and FPMA) in Flexi EDGE BTS
configurations in document Installing Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS
Optional Items.

The following figures show the module installation order and cabling for
this configuration. For detailed instructions on how to install the cabinet
and install and cable the modules, see document Installing Flexi Cabinet
for Outdoor (FCOA) and sections Installing the modules for a 2+2+2
configuration and Connecting cabling for a 2+2+2 configuration in this
document.

Note that the air guide plate is required if the System Module or System
Extension Module are installed in the vertical left rack. Otherwise, use
dummy panels in the empty slots.

The System Module can be installed horizontally or vertically as shown in

the figures below. Vertical installation is recommended if you are going to
expand to an 8+8+8 configuration later.
