TRACER Monitored Protection Switch (MPS)
Quick Start Guide 61280300L1-13B October 2003
About this Quick Start Guide...
This guide contains information for installing your TRACER MPS system. ADTRAN recommends that the entire TRACER link be tested on a
lab bench prior to installation in the field.
Verify the existence of an adequate microwave path for each hop or link to ensure that a point-to-point microwave system is feasible for your
particular application. Record the frequency of your microw

Rackmount the Units 1 Install the TRACER MPS system in a location that requires minimal antenna feedline length (the loss in this cable directly affects overall system performance). The TRACER MPS should be mounted in a rack between the two BBP components of the TRACER systems (see Figure 1 on page 2). Although no space is needed between the units, certain regulations may require at least 0.75” of space above and below each BBP. MAIN TRACER RFC IF ANTENNA TRACER MPS T1B T1A MAIN TRACER BBP MAN

Creating the VT100 Chain 2 A single VT100 connection through the TRACER MPS provides access to both the primary (MAIN) and SECONDARY TRACER units. Follow the steps below to create the VT100 chain. 1. Connect the RS-232 port (DB-25) on the rear panel of the MAIN TRACER BBP to the TRACER MPS VT100 interface (labeled 1 on the figure below) using the provided DB-25 (MALE) to RJ-45 (FEMALE) adapter (P/N 3196ADPT010) and standard 8-conductor straight-though cable. Repeat the step for the STANDBY un

Reviewing the Menus 4 The TRACER MPS software interface consists of a single menu screen (shown below). Navigate through the available menu options using the up and down arrow keys. Alternately, the numbered menu options may be selected by entering the appropriate menu number displayed to the left of the option. Pressing the activates the current menu selection. The TRACER MPS VT100 interface provides access to the MAIN and STANDBY TRACER unit menus (using menu options 1 and 2, re

5 Connecting the T1 Interfaces 1. Connect the T1A interface (RJ-45) of the MAIN TRACER BBP (labeled 1 below) to the MAIN T1A interface (RJ-45) of the TRACER MPS (labeled 2 below) using a straight-through T1 cable (ADTRAN P/N 3127004). Follow the same procedure to connect the T1B interfaces (labeled 3 and 4 below). 2. Repeat Step 1 to connect the T1A and T1B interfaces of the STANDBY TRACER BBP to the STANDBY T1A and T1B interfaces (RJ- 45) of the TRACER MPS (labeled 5 below). MAIN UNIT T1B Int

6a Connecting the Antenna Interfaces (TRACER BBP and RFC Systems) 1. Connect the Antenna interface (N-Type connector) of the MAIN TRACER RFC (labeled 1 below) to the MAIN RF interface (SMA con- nector) of the TRACER MPS (labeled 2 below) using a male N-Type to male SMA cable. 2. Connect the IF connector on the MAIN TRACER BBP (labeled 4 below) to the IF connector on the MAIN RFC (labeled 3 below) using the 6” RF cable (ADTRAN P/N 3125RF027). 3. Repeat Step 1 to connect the Antenna interface (N-

6b Connecting the Antenna Interfaces (TRACER 4103 and 4203 Systems) 1. Connect the Antenna interface (N-Type connector) of the MAIN TRACER 4103/4203 (labeled 1 below) to the MAIN RF interface (SMA connector) of the TRACER MPS (labeled 2 below) using a male N-Type to male SMA cable. 2. Repeat Step 1 to connect the Antenna interface (N-Type connector) of the STANDBY TRACER 4103/4203 to the STANDBY RF inter- face (SMA connector) of the TRACER MPS (labeled 3 below).

7 Connecting the Alarm Contacts . All alarm contact connections in the steps below should be made using standard 18 AWG insulated conductors. Insert the conductor in the terminal block then use a flat-head screwdriver to secure the connection. 1. Connect the NO (Normally Open) alarm contact of the MAIN TRACER BBP (labeled 1 below) to the MN alarm contact in the IN alarm block of the TRACER MPS (labeled 2 below). The TRACER BBP provides two sets of alarm contacts; for normal configuration, use

Supplying Power to the Unit 8 The TRACER MPS can operate from a supply between 21 and 63 Volts DC, with either polarity referenced to ground, and consumes 3 Watts nominal, 20 Watts peak (during relay switching). Current required (in Amps) is determined by dividing the power consumed (in Watts) by the applied voltage (in Volts). As an example at 48 Volts, the TRACER MPS would draw approximately 0.417 Amps peak (20 Watts / 48 Volts). Pinouts 9 RS-232 CONSOLE INTERFACE (DB-25) MAIN/STANDB
