RevisionHistory
Table 1. Revision History
Issue Document Date Technical Updates
1April 2012 Original
2February 2013 Changed Prism remote Unit model names from Single-/Dual-/Tri-/Quad-Band to
Single-/Dual-/Tri-/Quad-Bay; updated Table 4 on page 10 to add new RF Modules; removed the
Specifications section, which included the RF and Optical Specifications and the Frequency and
Composite Output Power at Antenna Port (dBm) for Prism Remote Units tables; to access these
performance specifications, refer to the FlexWave Prism Performance Specifications (TECP-77-201);
updated “Contacting TE Connectivity” on page 46.
3May 2013 Updated “Accessing User Documentation on the TE Customer Portal” on page 4; added
“Understanding the RF Module Cables” on page 15; updated “Connect the RF Module Cables” on
page 37.
4October 2013 Added support for the following HDM RF Modules, in conjunction with Prism EMS Software Release
8.1.1: HDM AWS Band 4 MIMO 20W; HDM AWS Band 4 SISO 40W; HDM PCS Band 25 SISO 40W
(see Table 4 on page 10); updated Table 2 on page 3.
5November 2013 Adds support for the

Table 9 lists how the FlexWave Prism EMS references the RF group assignments
and corresponding components of each RF Module.
NOTE: In a dual-LPA system, the Configure Remote Forward Gain page shows two values for the LPA
status, one for each LPA. Changing the LPA Mode or resetting the LPA applies to both LPAs at the
same time.
CAUTION! Should your system experience an LPA problem, refer to Table 9 to ensure that you apply new
settings or troubleshoot the correct RF Module.
CAUTION! If you use a customized SNMP polling for system status, you must change your LPA indexing
scheme.

Cable Connection Notes
• Always connect the Power cable.
• Always connect the two LVDS cables: PRIM and DIV.
• SISO requires one RF cable (TX1/RX1).
• MIMO and Dual-Band require two RF cables
(TX1/RX1 and TX0/RX0).
