General Safety Warnings Concerning Use of This System

Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation and maintenance of this
product.
Throughout this manual, there are "Caution" warnings. "Caution" calls
attention to a procedure or practice, which, if ignored, may result in
injury or damage to the system, system component or even the user. Do
Caution labels! not perform any procedure preceded by a "Caution" until the described
conditions are fully understood and met.
To prevent electrical shock when installing or modifying the system

power wiring, disconnect the wiring at the power source before working
Danger: Electrical Shock with un insulated wires or terminals.
RF radiation, (especially at UHF frequencies) arising from transmitter

outputs connected to AWL’s equipment, must be considered a safety
hazard.
This condition might only occur in the event of cable disconnection, or
because a ‘spare’ output has been left un-terminated. Either of these
conditions would impair the system’s efficiency. No investigation
should be carried out until all RF power sources have been removed.
This would always be a wise precaution, despite the severe mismatch
between the impedance of an N type connector at 50Ω, and that of free
space at 377 Ω, which would severely compromise the efficient
radiation of RF power. Radio frequency burns could also be a hazard, if
any RF power carrying components were to be carelessly touched!
Antenna positions should be chosen to comply with requirements (both
local & statutory) regarding exposure of personnel to RF radiation.
Caution: RF Exposure When connected to an antenna, the unit is capable of producing RF

field strengths, which may exceed guideline safe values especially if
used with antennas having appreciable gain. In this regard the use of
directional antennas with backscreens and a strict site rule that
personnel must remain behind the screen while the RF power is on, is
strongly recommended.
Where the equipment is used near power lines or in association with
temporary masts not having lightning protection, the use of a safety
earth connected to the case-earthing bolt is strongly advised.

1 Introduction
Axell OMU II is a scalable, flexible and remotely manageable fibre-to-optic conversion system
designed to provide media conversion and single source management capabilities for Axell high-
power and low-power fibre-fed Remote units. OMU II is a head-end system that acquires the RF
signal(s) from an external source, such as base station(s) or an off-air device, and converts the RF
signal into light signals for routing via optical fibres to remote Axell devices.
Depending on the model and the physical configuration, OMU II can support up to eight sectors
(where support for more than two sectors requires the use of Axell’s Point Of Interface (POI) unit in
conjunction with the OMU II).
OMU II can provide single source remote Web access commissioning and monitoring via a range of
remote modems or an Ethernet connection, where the hosted remote units are be monitored and
managed via an OMU II session.

1.2 Architecture
OMU II comprises of a chassis in which various modules are installed and whose rear panel varies
(model dependent) to support one RF sector, two RF sectors or up to eight RF sectors (the latter
requires the use of a POI unit ).
OMU II main function is to perform the RF to optic conversion from the RF source and route the
optic signal over the optical fibres towards fibre-fed Axell remotes. Two main types of remotes are
supported: high-power and low-power. Each optic conversion module provides power to a single
high-power remote, where up to 8 optic conversion modules are supported.
To support low-powered fibre-fed remotes, an optic splitter module is used to split the optical signal
from one converter into four, feeding four low-powered fibre-fed remote units. Thus, various
combinations of supported remote units can be achieved, within the given limitations. The valid
combination of both high-power and low-power remotes per OMU II is detailed in section 1.5.
Below is a general example of an OMU II configuration fed by a single sector (BTS) and a
combination of high power (e.g. MBF-40, BSF-3604) and low power (MBF-20) remote fibre-fed
units.
Figure 1-1. Overview of OMU II Architecture


The following figure illustrates one high-powered and four low-power remote connections to the
opto-board and optic splitter board.
Figure 1-2. Optic Converter Connections
1.3 OMU II Models and Ordering Information

OMU II is available in a range of models corresponding to remote products and customer needs.

1.4 Point-of-Interface (POI)

The POI unit is used with specific OMU II models whose rear panel is designed for interface with the
POI. This type of installation provides user customizable configurations of up to eight sectors that
can be routed to user selectable optical conversion units.
The POI front panel provides the interfaces for up to eight RF sectors, whereas the rear panel allows
the user to associate each sector to any of the OMU II optical conversion modules.
1.5 Supported Combinations of High-powered and

Low-powered Units
The following table demonstrates the available remote combination in a single OMU system. Note
that the extreme options are for only high-power remotes - up to eight are supported; only low-power
remotes - up to 24 are supported. In addition, the available combinations of both types of units.

The following figure illustrates an installation with several sectors (up to eight) – each with a
dedicated connection via the POI unit to the OMU II . The POI adjusts the power level of each
services to 10dBm and routes it to one or more (according to manual configuration on the unit) optic
converter units.

3.5.2.3 SIM-card Usin g Singl e Numberi ng Scheme

If using SNS (Single Numbering Scheme), calls to the modem within the network are automatically
classified as DATA. However, if calling from outside the network, you must first verify how it’s
interfaces handle the VOICE vs. DATA bearing.
This cannot be solved at remote level. The external network administrator must provide the above
information.
3.6 For Installations WITHOUT POI – RF Signal

Level Li mitation
NOTE: This section is relevant ONLY for installations WITHOUT POI (i.e. with RF
Splitter/Combiner modules). For installations with POI, verify the correct input voltage to the POI.
The OMU has a master attenuation that can be set in downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) separately. This
attenuation is useful for balancing the whole system.
Note the following:

• Usually, only the DL attenuation is calculated and set.
• The UL attenuation is then set equal to the DL and only adjusted to compensate for any noise.
To estimate the signal levels in the system, a link budget should be prepared before the system is
made operational. This section provides background on calculating the required attenuation values
along the link and describes how to set the attenuation value in the management application.
3.6.1 Calculating the Down link Path Attenuation

The following diagram illustrates the attenuation levels for a simplex RF connection.
Note the following:

• Maximum input from BTS to OMU II = 23dBm (max)
• Recommended composite power level to the Optical conversion modules ≤-3dBm (however, the
module can support up to 10dBm)
• Without attenuation (attenuator set to ‘0’), the DL loss = -14dB
• Any additional required attenuation (up to -21dB) is implemented via the Variable Attenuator,
where the goal is to acquire -3dBm at the Opto conversion unit (i.e. 11dBm after attenuation)
• Therefore, measured value shown in GUI should be 11dBm – but not more than 14dBm.


Examples:
RF Input = 11dBm, no additional attenuation is needed (11dBm – 14dB = -3dBm)
RF Input = 20dBm, an attenuation of 9dB is needed. Set the attenuation according to section 3.6.2
Note: As the composite power in a multicarrier TETRA / TDMA / W-CDMA / LTE system is traffic
dependent, the maximum laser input power must be calculated for the traffic scenario that will
require highest composite power.

To set the attenuation
1. Click on the Home button.
2. Set the DL attenuation for each required OMU Rack according to the calculation in section
3.6.1.
3. Set the UL attenuation equal to the DL attenuation. If there is noise, adjust only the UL to
reduce noise (section 3.6.3).

3.6.3 Noise Consi deratio ns

To reduce the noise degradation of the base station, it is recommended to reduce remote uplink gain
only. The remote cells will in this case not be perfectly balanced, i.e. downlink can take higher path
loss than uplink. In typical systems where you want to cover e.g. a road tunnel by tapping off a BTS
nearby this small imbalance is less of a problem.
3.7 Optical Loss Adjustment (OLA) Per Lin k

NOTE: The OLA should be performed at each system setup. It is also recommended to run this
procedure each time a change in the optical equipment is performed.
Each fibre optic link in the system will induce a loss. This loss will also differ in magnitude from one
link to another since the distances between each remote and the OMU is different. The OMU II and
its hosted remote units automatically calculate this loss and compensate for it on each link.
This is accomplished through measurements of pilot tones of known levels sent between links and
automatic level adjustments to compensate for any calculated losses.
The adjustment is made towards a target value which means that the system will be balanced, i.e. all
fibres will appear to have the same loss. The maximum compensation is 10dB which equals an
unbroken fibre distance of 20 km. For each connection in the link (for instance at the ODF)
approximately 0.5 dB of loss will have to be added.
NOTE: For MBF-40 remotes, the maximum compensation is increased to 26dB to support shorter
fibre optic distances.
To initiate Optical Loss Adju stment

distance.

3.8 RF Balancing
The RF Balancing procedure can be performed manually (the automatic option specified in section
3.8.2 will be available in the future) via the OMU II web interface.
3.8.1 Manual RF Balanci ng

The manual balancing procedure consists of the following steps:
• Verifying a DL RF output level of 23dBm by setting the required DL attenuation of the signal.
• Setting the UL attenuation according to the DL.
• In case of noise, adjusting the UL attenuation to reduce noise

This chapter describes how to setup and commission the remote fiber-unit from the OMU II side.
4.1 Overview
Remote Setup Overview
1. It is assumed that the remote unit is already installed.
2. Verify RF signals at OMU (DL and UL).
3. Perform OLA on each link – section 3.7.
4. Setup RF configuration on the remote
4.2 Connect to Remote

Connection to the remote requires connecting to the OMU, via RMC or via the Web-GUI. . For initial
Web-GUI connection procedure see section 3.1.
1. Click on the Nodes button.
2. Click on Control next to the remote you wish to configure.


An example of a fibre-fed remote configuration screen is given below. Refer to the corresponding
remote unit User Manual for detailed instructions on the configuration procedure.

5 Administration
5.1 User Accou nts
The OMU II comes pre-configured with default usernames and passwords in the various
administration levels.
At the moment, updating user accounts is available only via Command Line Interface (CLI) or Axell
Shell. See the Common Commands and Attributes v2.0.0 document for detailed commands and
syntax or click on the Help button at the top right of the Web-GUI screen.
5.1.1 Default User Accounts

User Name Default Password Details
axell AxellPasswd Default user name.
omcuname iwnkhoob Axell Element Manager user account.

This account will not generate VLI, LGO or CLR alarms.
sysadmin AxellAdmin4050 This is the system administration password which is used

for firmware upgrades and user administration. Escalation
to this level is achieved by issuing command SYSADMIN
from the user prompt.
useradmin UseradminPwd23 This account contains user administration privileges.

Escalation to this level is achieved by issuing command
USERADMIN from the user prompt.
Note: It is strongly recommended to change the default user names and passwords immediately at
commissioning. This is done by using the command ACT PASSWORD. Please refer to the User
Administration section in Common Commands and Attributes document for detailed syntax, or view
the Attribute Reference in section 5.4.
5.1.2 User Access Levels

In this generation of the system, standard users can be promoted to login via the Web Interface,
inheriting the Read-Write or Read-Only access to this interface.
There are five different access levels:
Access Level Default User Levels
Read-Only axell, omcuname, useradmin, sysadmin
Read-Write axell, omcuname, useradmin, sysadmin
Web axell
User Administrator omcuname, useradmin, sysadmin
System Administrator omcuname, sysadmin
Note: New users added to the system have read-only access.


Users may be promoted to read-write and/or web access using the ACT USERPROMOTE
command. See Common Commands and Attributes document for details on promoting users, or
view the Attribute Reference in section 5.4.
Note: Users omcuname, sysadmin and useradmin cannot be promoted to Web Access due to security
reasons.
5.1.3 Change Password

To prevent unauthorized access, it is highly recommended to change the default password of the user.
NOTE: Note that you can only change the password for the User Name with which the session was

The OMU II sends SNMP traps to user defined destination addresses.
NOTE: One destination address can currently be defined via the Web. Seven more destination
addresses can be defined via the Axell Shell.
To confi gure the SNMP traps destination address

1. Click on the Configure button (top right corner).
2. Select Remote Communication.
3. In the Device:Method field, select ETH:SNMP
4. Define the SNMP trap destination IP address (additional addresses can be defined via the Axell
Shell.).
5. Enter the (destination address device) Trap Port and its Community parameters.
6. Click Apply.
5.5.3.2 Act ivati ng and Confi guri ng th e SNMP Agent

The SNMP agent provides inventory management for hosted repeaters (on which the SNMP agent is
enabled) and a table of active alarms in the controller or fibre system for remote querying.
The SNMP Agent is responsible for responding to queries and carries out requests. The SNMP Agent
also provides the proprietary Axell MIB (AXELL-AM-MIB), accessible via any SNMP manager
(e.g. HP OpenView).
All SNMP queries to the remote are implemented via an OMU session.
To allow SNMP agent qu eries

• To allow SNMP queries of the OMU II – the SNMP agent must be enabled on the OMU II.
• To allow SNMP queries of the remote devices via OMU II – the SNMP agent must be enabled on
the OMU II and on the remote devices.
• Remote units configured with an IP address and connected to the communication infrastructure,
can be queried directly.


To acti vate th e OMU II SNMP Agent
1. Click on the Config button (top right corner) and select SNMP Agent Config. The following
pane appears:
2. Set the SNMP Agent toggle to ON.

6 Troubleshooting
6.1 Troubleshooting Remote Communication
Since many networks have their own “personality”, performing first time configuration of the remote
communication sometimes requires tweaking of the modem parameters.
This section describes some trouble shooting techniques if configuring the OMU for remote access
fails.
Radio Laptop
LinkProtocol
(RLP)
Modem
RS232
BTS
Control Module
Interworking
in OMU
Function Unit Switch
(IFU) Centre
This illustration is a simplified schematic of the remote communication between a GSM module in an
OMU and an analogue modem. The analogue modem in the computer communicates with the
Interworking Function Unit (IFU), which is the GSM network analogue network interface. The call is
routed via the switch centre over the air interface to the data call number in the SIM-card of the GSM
module.
The Control Module is responsible for establishing connections with the Axell Element Manager, and
to answer incoming calls to the OMU.
As described in previous sections, the Control Module only accepts one login at a time, either via
Local Maintenance port (LMT) or modem connection. Hence, when verifying the remote access of
the OMU, it is important to log out from the OMU locally before trying to access the OMU remotely.
6.1.1.1 Direct Modem Acc ess

To allow for advanced trouble shooting of the communications, it is possible to access the modem
directly via the Control Module from a laptop computer.
LMT Port
RS232 cable
GSM
Control Module
Module
Laptop
Log in to the OMU using the Web-GUI. Switch to Advanced mode and access the Axell Shell dialog.
Type in the command
ACCESS MODEM <Ent er >.
When typing ACCESS MODEM, the controller will send all the characters that are typed directly out
to the modem port. All characters replied back from the modem will go directly to the LMT port and
back to the computer.


To abort an ACCESS MODEM session, press three ‘-‘ in a row (all three within one second) to come
back to the OMU command prompt.
Note: When accessing the modem port the modem might be configured with “echo off”, meaning that
the characters entered will not be echoed back to the screen. In order to enable “echo”, press Enter.
Type
ATE1 <ent er >
(invisible)
The modem replies with
OK
indicating that the echo is enabled. All characters entered will now be echoed back to the terminal
program.
Below is a list of handy modem commands for trouble shooting via Direct Modem Access. Please
refer to the modem manual for details on the commands below.
Command Description
ATE1 Enables the echo between the modem and the Control Module.
ATDT<Telephone Causes the modem to dial <Telephone Number>. This can be used to
Number> verify that the modem correctly can dial a remote modem.
ATA Answer incoming call
ATH Hang up call. Note, if being online to the remote peer, you need to go to
command mode to hang up the call. This is done by waiting at least one
second since last entered character, then press +++ (three plus signs), all
within one second. After one second, the modem will reply OK, meaning
that command mode is entered.
ATM0 Disables the loudspeaker in the modem
ATM1 Enables the loudspeaker in the modem
AT&W Saves the current modem configuration into NVRAM. This means that
this configuration will be used directly after modem power up
AT&F Loads the modem factory configuration
ATZ Resets the modem, and loads the default settings as saved with command
AT&W


6.1.1.2 Trace Modem
For troubleshooting purposes it is possible to trace the actual progress of initializing the modem. This
trace is useful when having problems with the modem initialization.
Go to Terminal Mode and type
TRACE MODEM

To end session type CTRL-Z
6.1.1.3 Manually Answ ering Incom ing Calls

It is possible to manually answer incoming calls without involving the OMU software at all, to verify
that the remote access and the network itself works as intended. In order to verify the remote
communication, make sure to have someone stand by to dial up the OMU with a terminal emulation
program, for example HyperTerminal™.
Go in to Direct Modem Access as described in 6.1.1.1. When in direct access mode, ask the person
standing by to dial up the OMU.
As soon as a call is received, the text
RI NG
will repeatedly be displayed on the screen.
Type
ATA <Ent er >
This will inform the modem to answer (ATtention Answer).
When the connection is established, a connect message will be displayed including the connection
speed. Sometimes the information comes together with some miscellaneous information, such as
error correction protocols etc.
Note: Make sure the remote peer dials the Data Call number
If the voice number is dialled instead of the data number, or if the modem contains an illegal modem
initialization string, the message
OK
or
NO CARRI ER
will be displayed almost immediately.
Try to change the modem initialization string. The modem initialization string mainly used to
configure the remote communication is AT+CBST.
Successful modem initialization strings used by Axell Wireless include (most common first):
AT+CBST=71, 0, 1; \ Q3
AT+CBST=7, 0, 1; \ Q3


AT+CBST=0, 0, 1; \ Q3
AT+CBST=0, 0, 1; \ Q3
AT+CBST=7, 0, 3; \ Q3
Once the modem initialization string is entered, try again to dial up the OMU. For details on the
different modem initialization strings, please refer to the modem’s user guide.
If the setup is successful, the connect message will be brought up;
CONNECT 9600
This means that an online connection is established to the remote peer. From now on, all characters
typed on the keyboard will end up on the remote peer’s screen. Similarly, all characters typed by the
remote peer will be displayed on the screen.
In the example, the incoming call
was successfully answered, and the
remote user entered the text
message.
In order to come back to modem command mode, press +++ (three pluses) rapidly (within one
second).
Receiving
OK
means that the modem is back in command mode.
Type
ATH <ent er >
This terminates the connection to the remote peer. The message
NO CARRI ER
will be displayed.


6.1.1.4 Commo n Probl ems
Problem 1
When enabling the remote access for the OMU, the modem fails to log in to the network.
Solution
Signal strength from the donor site is too low. The signal strength can be read directly from the
modem. Go in to Direct Modem Access as described earlier. Use the command AT+CSQ
(documented below) to read out the signal strength.
In order to have good signal quality, Axell Wireless recommends that the signal strength should be
better than -95 dBm. If signal strength is lower, try to adjust the antennas to get a better signal
strength from the donor.
Documentation of +CSQ command from a modem’s manual.
In the example the reply to

AT+CSQ is 0,7 meaning 7*2 dB
above -113 dBm; the modem
detects a signal level of -99 dBm.
Problem 2a
OMU is configured properly, and answers the incoming call, but when trying to dial the OMU using
an analogue mode, no modem handshaking is heard from the dialling modem.
Problem 2b


When dialling the OMU, the OMU answers the incoming call, but no connection is established, and
after a while the OMU disconnects the call.
Solution
The most common cause is that the number called is the voice number of the SIM, not the data
number. Therefore, make sure to dial the data number.
If data call is used, the problem probably is an illegal modem initialization string.
In order to change the modem string, go to the OMU command prompt. Try changing the modem
initialization string and log out to let the controller reinitialize the modem.
If problem remains, try a few different modem initialization strings. Axell Wireless has been
successful with the following modem initialization strings:
AT+CBST=71, 0, 1; \ Q3
AT+CBST=7, 0, 1; \ Q3
AT+CBST=0, 0, 1; \ Q3
AT+CBST=0, 0, 1; \ Q3
AT+CBST=7, 0, 3; \ Q3
Please refer to the modem manual for detailed description of the modem initialization strings.
Problem 3
It is possible to call the OMU from another GSM mobile, but not from an analogue modem.
Solution
This problem is most likely related to the modem configuration and/or the configuration of the IFU
unit. Try to decrease the communications speed and make sure that the modem error correction is
supported by the IFU. Verify the IFU configuration to see if there are any known problems with the
modem connections.
Problem 4
When dialling the OMU, or when the OMU is dialling the Element Manager, the connection is
terminated before the handshaking is completed.
Solution
When an OMU is answering an incoming modem call, or calling up the OMC to deliver an alarm or a
report, the OMU will wait a configurable number of seconds for the call to be established. If no
communication is established within this time, the call will be hung up. If this interval is set too low,
the handshaking is terminated too fast. In the RMC, verify the Modem Connect Time to see that it is
set to at least 30 seconds.

Verify the remote communication either by having someone attempting to integrate the remote from
the Axell Element Manager, or by dialling the remote using the Remote Maintenance Console.
Note: It is very important to dial the data number of the SIM. In case the voice number is dialled, the
call is answered, but almost immediately the call will be hung up.

should be checked and replaced if faulty and the system restored.
A failed unit can be removed and replaced with a spare while the rest of the system (other OMUs) is
still in operation.
This product is equipped with Class 1 lasers, as per definition in EN 60825-1.
Caution!!!
Un-terminated optical receptacles may emit laser radiation.
Do not stare into beam or view with optical instruments.
Note: The power supply of the failed OMU should be isolated from AC mains and DC power before
any module is replaced.
8.2 Preventi ve Maintenance

The OMU does not require any preventative maintenance apart from changing the battery every three
years.
Caution!
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to local laws and instructions.
8.3 Product Disposal

Disposal of this product must be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Appendix C - F/O Cleaning Procedure

NOTE: The process is demonstrated on an OMU F/O module and is similar to all F/O equipment
supplied by Axell.
Tools:
Tool Description Illustration
Fibrescope connected to a PC running the appropriate
viewing software.
It is highly recommended that some form of fibre

viewing equipment such as a Fibrescope is used to
ensure that all fibre connections are clean before
termination; failure to do so could result in poor system
performance
Lint-free swabs (box), Axell P/N 99-000127
Lint-free wipes (pack) Axell P/N 99-000125
Fujikura “One Click” cleaner, Axell P/N 98-900004.
99% isopropyl alcohol (can), Axell P/N 99-000126
Cletop type S Cassette Cleaner, Axell P/N 98-900001

Cleaning Procedure
Dry Cleaning
ATTENTION! Invisible laser radiation might be emitted from disconnected fibres or

connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
1. Before cleaning the optical connectors on the OMU it is advisable to clean the connector of the
mating cable being attached to the optical port.
An unclean optical connector is often the cause for reduced system performance. A bit of dust or oil
from a finger can easily interfere with, or block light. Fortunately, it is very easy to clean the
connector. Be sure to use the correct procedure for the given connector. When disconnected, cap the
SC/APC connector to keep it clean and prevent scratching the tip of the ferrule.
Use a product specially designed for the

purpose, such as the Cletop type S Cassette
Cleaner.
2. Begin by dry cleaning the F/O bulkhead connector (shown below is the Fujikura One-Click in
use).
Always make sure there is a way of inspecting the connector after cleaning.
IMPORTANT Cleaning can actually leave the end-face in a worse condition, since alcohol
residue is one of the most difficult contaminants to remove.
3. Remove the protective cap from the

cleaning-head end of the “One
Click” cleaner, lift the
protective end-cap on the fibre
connector and offer-up the end to
the fibre connector

4. With the cleaning-head end fully

engaged in the connector, push
until an audible “click” is heard
5. Without fully withdrawing the

cleaning head end push it in again
twice more, each time until an
audible “click” is heard.
6. Withdraw the “One Click” cleaner

and replace the protective end cap.
7. Inspect the fibre connector using a Fibrescope. On the PC monitor, verify that there is no
contamination present on the connector end-face.
8. If the connector is dirty, clean it with a wet cleaning technique followed immediately by dry
cleaning. This is to remove any remaining residue from the wet clean (the following steps
demonstrate a wet cleaning technique).

Wet Cleaning
Invisible laser radiation might be emitted from disconnected fibers or

connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical
ATTENTION! instruments.
1. Lightly moisten a new lint-free wipe with 99% isopropyl alcohol. (Step 1 below).
Tip: Have a dry lint-free swab available for immediately drying after performing the wet-cleaning.
2. Lightly press and turn a clean lint-free swab in the moistened area of the wipe to moisten the
swab. It is important that the swab is not too wet. (Step 2 below).
3. Insert the moistened lint-free swab into the bulkhead adapter. Lightly press and rotate several
times in the same direction. (Step 3 below).
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Wet-Cleaning Technique
4. Immediately use a dry lint-free swab to clear any remaining alcohol residue.
NOTE: Do not re-use any of the wipes and/or swabs. Dispose of them properly.
5. Follow steps 3 to 6 of Dry Cleaning above

6. Re-inspect the fibre using the Fibrescope. On the PC monitor, verify that there is no
contamination present on the connector end-face.
7. If the fibre is still dirty, go back to step 1 (Wet Cleaning) and repeat the entire process.
NOTE: The entire wet/dry cleaning cycle should only be used twice, if the fibre is still dirty after two
cycles of wet/dry cleaning seek advice from the Axell Wireless Support Desk.
