Network Interface Unit

Fusion

Prism



Admin Manager

Admin manager for Unison only

Uses Serial port

To connect through Network it needs a Network Interface Unit (NIU)

to translate from RS232 to IP packets.



Web Management GUI

Fusion and Prism have Web page to Manage the Device

Fusion: IP address for installed MHs is different than the default

address with factory defaults. Refer to IP tables

Must have an IP address in the same network subnet to connect on

site.

Prism: connect to prism on site from Craft port. IP is DHCP assigned.

Connect to DHCP server



Preventive maintenance

Fiber failure is most critical faliure .

One fiber link down will cause 8 RAUs to stop radiating

Fiber cleaning should be done regularly not when there is a problem.

Changing jumper can fix the problem temporarily if the fiber quality is

marginal. But will fail again once dust accumulates.



Preventive maintenance

Take a picture of the Fiber cables on the MH room.

Use Air Blower to clean MHs, Fiber Patch Panels and equipment rack top.

It is expected to have some fiber links down after this procedure because of

dust going into fiber ports.

Need to Clean Optical ports using Air spray regularly. (EVEN if there is no Faults).

Re-Arrange fiber cables if not neatly arranged.

If a fiber link fails after rearranging that means it was going to fail soon any way.

Marginal links should be checked END to END using OTDR.

Clean connectors using Alcohol swabs

Take a photo after re arranging and troubleshoot faults if any.

Optical power levels in and out are normal

Fault condition detected; optical power in too low: too much optical loss, main hub laser failure, or main hub off.

Fault condition detected; optical power out is below normal.

Expansion hub laser failed; unable to communicated with main hub

Downlink and uplink have failed.

Replace expansion hub.

Explanation of Alarms

In addition to LED indications, Unison reports alarm conditions

through two other mechanisms:

1. A contact closure accessible at the rear of the main hub.

2. A detailed diagnostic program accessible using the

AdminManager software which communicates through the RS-

232 interface at the front of the main hub.

The following pages summarize the categories of fault and warning

conditions that may arise and be reported by the AdminManager

software. Refer to section 10 of the installation and reference

manual for more details.

Main Hub Alarm Categories

Fault
