MappingtheCSUandBIUInstallationandConnections
The CSU is preconfigured at the factory to meet DAS integration requirements. The BIUs must be
installed in the slots that support the CSU configuration. Figure 2 on page 8 illustrates the four
CSU tray preconfigurations.
Configuration 1 (AIPCSU1) provides a straight through path for the BIU output to the CSU
output without any combining. A typical application for this configuration is when no
combining of Base Station feeds is required or where external combining is desired. This
configuration provides flexibility to use external components for combining and splitting.
Configuration 2 (AIPCSU2) contains a 2x1 power divider for BIU slots 5 and 6, and a
second 2x1 power divider for BIU slots 7 and 8. Slots 1 through 4 are straightthrough
connections. The 2x1 power divider combines the BIU output in the downlink direction and
splits the BIU input signals in the uplink direction. A typical application for this configuration
is when internal combining is desired to save rack space and flexibility is not required. The
power dividers allow for two sets of Base Station feeds, of the same frequency, to be
combined. As an example, 1900MHz UMTS NodeB can be combined with 1900MHz GSM Base
Station. However, it is important to note that any combining must be implemented with
frequency specific BIUs, as the combined signals are fed to a band specific DAS. The remaining
straightthrough connections for ports 1 through 4 can be used for cases where combining is
not required. As an example, 700MIMO could be deployed in the same space where combining
of multiple carriers is not required.
Configuration 3 (AIPCSU3) contains one 3x1 power divider for BIU ports 3 through 5, and
a second 3x1 power divider for ports 6 through 8; ports 1 and 2 are straightthough
connections. A typical application for this configuration is similar to Configuration 2, with the
exception being the combining of three Base Station feeds.
Configuration 4 (AIPCSU4) contains just one 4x1 power divider for combining BIU ports 5
through 8, while BIU ports 1 through 4 remain as straightthrough connections. This typical
application is similar to Configuration 2 and Configuration 3.
CAUTION! Forconfigurations2,3,and4,anycombiningmustbeimplementedwithbandspecificBIUs.Also,
foranypowerdividerportnotusedwithaBIUslot,thisslotmustbefilledwithaTermination
BIU Module that contains a 50 Ohm termination. All power divider ports must be terminated

DeterminetheMountingMethod
Use the information on the chassis weight and dimensions in Technical Specifications on
page 131 to determine the best mounting option for your site. Mounting options are as follows:
Mounting the AIP in a TwoPost Rackto mount the AIP in a twopost rack, you use one set
of mounting ears in the mid position. The mounting ears can be forward or rear facing.
Mounting the AIP in a FourPost Rackthere are two options for mounting the AIP in a
fourpost rack.
You can install fronttoback horizontal rails in the equipment rack and use one set of
mounting ears in the front position. The mounting ears can be forward or rear facing.
You can install a telescoping shelf in the equipment rack and use one set of mounting ears
in the front position. The mounting ears can be forward or rear facing.
NOTE: The AIP chassis requires 6 RU of space. A telescoping rack adds an additional 1 RU to the AIP
installation,foratotalof7RUofspace.

Set Up SNMP
SETUPSNMP
The SetUpSNMP page allows you to manage SNMP events, in which an event is a Trap or an
Inform message, and Traps and Informs are both SNMP messages.
Traps and Informs are in the same message format, but an Inform requires an acknowledgment
and a Trap does not. If an Inform is not acknowledged within the time specified on the SetUp
SNMP page, it is resent for the specified maximum number of resends. (If you define a trap
receiver with the Inform message protocol on the SetSNMPTrap page, the EMS can also resend
Traps; see Set Up SNMP Trap Managers on page 47).
The SetUpSNMP page also helps avoid chattering SNMP messages. This means that when an
alarm occurs, the EMS displays the alarm and a timer starts, which is Event Hysteresis. If the
alarm clears before the hysteresis timer expires, the EMS does not send any Traps or Informs. If
the hysteresis timer expires and the alarm is still active, the EMS sends the Trap or Inform; when
the alarm condition clears, the EMS sends a Trap or Inform. When simultaneous alarms occur, and
the alarms are still active after the Event Hysteresis, the EMS sends individual messages
separated by the specified Event Interval.
NOTE: Event Hysteresis and Event Interval work independently from one another. That is, you can
disableEventHysteresisbutenableEventIntervalandviceversa.
Do the following to set the SNMP management parameters:
1 In the System Menu bar, click SystemConfiguration>SetUpSNMP.
2 Use the SNMPPortNumber box to enter the SNMP port number for sets and gets (default is
161).
3 In the SNMPEventSettings panel, set the following SNMP parameters:
a Set HeartbeatInterval to Enabled or Disabled, and then if Enabled, in the corresponding
sendevery__minute(s)(160) box, enter how many minutes (160) should pass between
Heartbeat Intervals.
b Set InformResend to Enabled or Disabled, and then if Enabled, in the corresponding send
every__second(s)(1600) box, enter how many seconds (1600) should pass between
Inform Resends, and then in the MaxResends __times(110) box, enter how many resend
attempts should be made (110).
c Set EventHysteresis to Enabled or Disabled, and then if Enabled, in the corresponding fora
timeof__second(s)(10600) box, enter how many seconds (10600) an Event Hysteresis
should remain active.
d Set EventInterval to Enabled or Disabled, and then if Enabled, in the corresponding fora
timeof__second(s)(560) box, enter how many seconds (560) should pass in the interval
between messages sent to the trap receiver. If simultaneous events occur, the EMS adds
this time as a delay between the messages.
4 Click Apply.
Set Up SNMP Trap Managers
SETUPSNMPTRAPMANAGERS

DeploymentExamplesfortheExternalCombiner/SplitterShelf
Figure 11 shows an example of using the AIP with an External Shelf to create a fourZone split, in
which
Carrier 1 is using two Sectors, with each Sector split into two Zones
Carrier 2 is using one Sector split into four Zones
Carrier 3 is using four Sectors with one Zone per Sector.
Figure11.ExampleofaFourZoneSplit
For clarity, Figure 11 only shows the cabling for UL (uplink) ports. In an actual installation, the UL
and DL ports on an ECSS are paired. Therefore, in Figure 11, the cabling for the UL port would be
reproduced on the corresponding DL port.
The following sections break the cabling for the three carriers shown in Figure 11 into separate
graphics.
