2 OPERATION
2.1 GENERAL
This section contains turn-on, normal operation, turn-off, and emergency operating proce-
dures plus a description of module indicators and connectors for the 9500 MPR Series
Microwave Packet Radios.
Before performing any procedures, operating personnel should become
familiar with the locations of power distribution units and circuit
breakers. If an equipment performance problem occurs during the fol-
lowing procedures, refer to the Maintenance Section.
2.2 TURN-ON
Radio power is controlled externally via rack and site circuit breakers. The radio is designed to
operate continuously without operator intervention. After initial installation and power turn-on,
operating procedures are limited to periodic visual checks and alarm checks. Turn-on procedures
are needed only if the system has been turned off due to a malfunction or during maintenance.
Until all radios in the transmission link are interconnected, turned
on, and operating properly, alarm conditions may exist.
Perform the following procedure to turn on the 9500 MPR series radios:
1. Set rack power to on.
2.
Verify that no alarm indicator is lighted. If alarm indicator is lighted trou-
bleshoot as described in the Maintenance Section.
2.3 CRAFT TERMINAL (CT) PROVISIONING FUNCTION/OPERATION
The Craft Terminal software is used for maintenance and support of the radio including fault
and status reporting. Refer to the Initial Turn-Up Section for instructions on loading and run-
ning the software. Refer to the User’s Guide Section for descriptions and functions of the menus.
Refer to the Software Release Notes before performing any operating,
provisioning, or maintenance function on this equipment. The Soft-
ware Release Notes may contain information affecting these functions
that is not contained in this instruction manual.
2.4 OPERATING PROCEDURES
The Craft Terminal computer is the main control for the radio. If
instructions for setting up the Craft Terminal computer are needed,
refer to the Initial Turn-Up Section.

2-2
After installation and turn-on, operating procedures are limited to periodic alarm checks.
Automatic and manual switching are provided for equipment protection. Manual switch-
ing may be accomplished using the Craft Terminal screens on the computer. The follow-
ing paragraphs provide operating procedures for manual switchover of protected radio
systems.
2.4.1 Rx Radio Protection Switching
See Figure 2-1 and follow the steps to switch receive traffic between the main and standby
(spare) Radio Access Cards, manually, using the Craft Terminal.

2.5 TURN-OFF PROCEDURE
The radio is designed for continuous operation. If power must be removed while perform-
ing maintenance on a particular cabinet or shelf, power can be removed by turning off
associated site/rack circuit breakers.
Normally, the turn-off procedures are not used. System design allows
maintenance of the rack without interrupting service. It is recom-
mended that turn-off be performed only in an emergency.
2.6 EMERGENCY OPERATION
If an emergency occurs, such as a short circuit or a fire, turn off the 9500 MPR as quickly
as possible.
2.7 MODULE INDICATORS AND CONNECTORS
Do not adjust controls unless instructed to do so in an instal-
lation or maintenance procedure. Unauthorized adjustment
of controls illustrated and described in this section may inter-
rupt traffic and/or degrade system performance.
Module controls, indicators, and connectors used in normal operation or referenced in pro-
cedures are shown in Figure 2-4 through Figure 2-6.

3 INTERCONNECT
3.1 SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section gives the location and describes, power connections, signal connections, and
status and alarm connections for the 9500 MPR.
3.2 POWER CABLE CONNECTION
See Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 for power cable connection. The power cable (PN 3DB18271AA)
is supplied in the MSS Installation Kit. It is supplied with the connector fitted at one end and
wire at the other. The cable is nominally 5 m (16 ft), and the wires are 4 mm
2
(AWG 12).
The red (or blue) wire must be connected to -48 Vdc (live); the black wire to ground/+ve.
Figure 3-1 Power Cable and Connector
DC power connector can be shorted inadvertently if applied at
an angle. Always insert with correct alignment.

3-2
Short circuiting low-voltage, low-impedance dc circuits can
cause arcing that may result in burns or eye injury. Remove
rings, watches, and other metal jewelry while working with
primary circuits. Exercise caution to avoid shorting input
power terminals.
To protect maintenance personnel from antenna tower light-
ning strikes, the ground system must be integrated by bond-
ing frame ground and dc battery return together.
Figure 3-2 Battery Power Connection

3-3
Do not apply battery power until it is determined that A and
B battery cables with isolated returns and power cables are
wired correctly. With power applied, reverse polarity on wir-
ing (+batt wired to -batt pin on connector) can cause power
supply fuse to blow.
Grounding of pole, antenna, customer interfaces, and all entrances to
the building interior shall meet local electrical code and standard
business practices.
3.3 E1 CONNECTIONS
Recommended connectorized cable assembly – PN 3CC52118AA (22 AWG 34 pair shielded,
jacketed cable with 68-pin SCSI connector on each end). See Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-3 for
connections. Refer to Table 3-1 and Table 3-2 for mating cable wiring.
