Basic introduction

AISG (Antenna Interface Standards Group) , include RET, ASBT,

NSBT, TMA and Other accessories;
We named RET as RCU (Remote Control Unit) or ACU (Antenna
control Unit) Generally; --- RCU will be used in this document;
RCU is connected to antenna Mechanical, ASBT and NSBT is
installed in feeder system, and antenna down tilt can be Adjusted by
LMT or OMCB remotely.

RCU, ASBT and NSBT will be used in our 3G AISG system.

3G antenna and RCU

3G existing RET Antenna have 2 types, KATHREIN and ANDREW.

We should use different RCUs according to the antenna type.

1 1

AISG cables

Standard AISG cable Special AISG cable

Standard AISG cable has two ports: Port A is male and Port B is female. Port
A connects ASBT or RCU and Port B connects to RCU.
Note: If the standard cable is not longer enough, it can be extended.

Special AISG cable has two ports: Port A is DB9 and Port B is AISG female.
Port A connects to ZTE RRU and Port B connects to NSBT.
Note: The special AISG cable has a length of 2.8m. As in the case this cable
is too short it can be extended using standard AISG cable.

Hardware installation requirement

ASBT and NSBT should be installed in TX/RX channel of 3G sector 1;

Input and output cable of BT should be connected correct;
ASBT and NSBT should be grounded;
All outdoor connectors should be waterproof;
The AISG cable should be connected to RRU at last.

Hardware installation Check

Test the voltage of AISG female port (special AISG cable, ASBT or RCU) by site master;

The definition of pins:

1. Pin 3 --- RS-485 B Communication, DC 1V to 2V; (3,7)
2. Pin 5 --- RS-485 A Communication, DC 1V to 2V; (5,7)
3. Pin 6 --- +24V dc nominal, +19V to 30V dc(AISG 1.1)/ +10V to 30V dc (AISG 2.0); (6,7)
4. Pin 7 --- dc return, Not grounded for RRU unit, GND;

AISG device scan

We should scan AISG device by LMT after site swap, otherwise OMCB
cant control and adjust the antenna down tilt.

1. Login in CC, right click on ZXSDR BS8700 and choose Scan AISG Device,

AISG device scan

4. Then it will send command to RET and start to scan,

5. After about 10 minters, it will show us the result, the left reply means scan
successful , and the right one means scan fault .

Normal trouble shooting

Check AISG hardware installation and all cables connection ;

Test the voltage of special AISG cable female port by multi-meter;
Test the voltage of AISG port of ASBT;
Test the voltage of female port of RCU;

Notes:
1. Test voltage in the AISG female port from RRU to RCU step by step ;
2. Attention and avoided short of ping 3,5,6, and 7 when you test,
otherwise the fuse of RRU AISG port will be broken;
