1.2. Safety Precautions
Opening the RV-QUADCOMM equipment could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury.
Connect the equipment frame ground to the building ground.
Operating the RV-QUADCOMM with antennas in very close proximity facing each other could lead to severe
damage to the repeater.
RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be maintained between the user and the external
antenna of the repeater to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more information about RF exposure,
please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov
This equipment is for indoor use only and enables the communication wiring to communicate inside the
building only.

AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
AGC prevents the repeater from exceeding its maximum output power by reducing the gain automatically.
AGC is used to adjust the gain to an appropriate level for a range of input signal levels.
ASD (Automatic Shutdown)
ASD protects the repeater from oscillation or excessive input signal and eliminates any degradation to the
network.
ICS (Interference Cancellation System)
ICS is an improvement solution for wireless network service quality. Unlike a normal RF repeater, ICS cancels
interference brought on by oscillation and other issues, greatly improving performance.

Introduction
2.1. RV-QUADCOMM
RV-QUADCOMM is used to fill out areas in RV-QUADCOMM systems, such as base station fringe areas,
business and industrial building, etc.
RV-QUADCOMM receives signals from a base station, amplifies and retransmits the signals to the mobile
stations. RV-Quadcomm also receives, amplifies and retransmits signals in the opposite direction. Both
directions are served simultaneously with the following features:

Step 1. AGC must be turned on. AGC automatically assigns gain in accordance with AGC level. Use AGC
level to increase or decrease gain.
(Gain Offset is a gain differential between DL output gain and UL output gain.)
Ex> AGC Level 30dBm, Gain Offset -3dB → DL Output +30dBm, UL output +27dBm
AGC Level 30dBm, Gain Offset +1dB → DL Output +30dBm, UL output +31dBm
(700M, PCS, AWS : 30dBm / CELLUAR : 25dBm)
Step 2. Turn on the DL and UL path controls

4.B. Manual Gain Setting
When you want to set gain value not using Auto Gain control refer to the following;
Step 1.
For manual gain control AGC must be turned off
(700M, 1900M, 2100M : 30dBm / 800M : 25dBm)
Step 2. The user can select any gain value as long as it does not over-drive the amplifier or exceed isolation
requirements. Gain is automatically limited where conditions do not permit high gain. Select the DL
and UL Gain values. Turn on the DL and UL path controls
Result 1 DL and UL gain are fixed and the output power depends on the input power
Result 2 Maximum DL Output Power 30dBm
If the DL Input Power >= -57dBm and the isolation value is ≥max gain+15dB

You can configure the system automatically without manual operation.
Step 1. Easy Max Setup function will automatically run with one click of Execute button.
Step 2. With Execute button clicked, Output Power will be set by AGC level automatically.
Easy Max Setup will end with UL and DL Path, ICS Mode, AGC Mode and ASD Mode turned On.
Result 1 DL and UL gain are fixed and the output power depends on the input power
Result 2 Maximum DL Output Power 30dBm
If the DL Input Power >= -57dBm and the isolation value is ≥max gain+15dB

5.8.2.2. AGC and ASD Function
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) : AGC feature prevents the repeater from exceeding its maximum output
power by reducing the gain automatically. AGC is used to adjust the gain to an appropriate level for a range
of input signal levels.
ASD (Automatic Shut Down ) : ASD protects the repeater from oscillation or excessive input signal and
eliminates any degradation to the network.
There are three parameters: ASD Level, ASD Time, and ASD Iteration.
If the output power reaches higher than the “ASD LEVEL”, the repeater will shut down for “ASD TIME”
seconds and then turn the amp back on to measure output power. If shut down repeats “Iteration” times,
the repeater will shut down permanently.

[applied at the Quadcomm-800]
Select AGC On and enter a value equal to or less than 30dBm, click APPLY and ON.
For a repeater with 25dBm maximum output power, 90dB maximum gain/25dB gain Control range,
Æ If the input signal is -65dBm and AGC level is 15dBm, the gain will be 80dB.
* To apply this for each Band refer to Automatic Gain Control Setting following section of 5.6.

Type the desired value for the ASD Level and then Click APPLY and ON.
For a repeater with 30dBm Maximum Output Power, 97dB Maximum Gain/
30dB gain control range, assuming ASD Level: 33dBm, ASD Time, ASD Count
are already fixed at 3 seconds, 10 times.
If the composite output power is 33dBm(ASD Level) and higher, the repeater
will shutdown for 3 seconds (ASD Time). If the shutdown occurs 10 times (ASD Count),
the 11th shutdown will be permanent.
After shutdown the repeater runs Easy setup automatically.
Finally, following multiple shutdown events, isolation check function executes.

Troubleshooting
Before contacting your service center, please make sure you refer to the following guide. If the RVQUADCOMM does not work normally after completing the following troubleshooting tips, please contact
your local dealer or service center.
6.1. LED Alarm

Critical
Replaceable module failure
- select RF Card’s alarm LED is red
- reset RF Card’s power
- RF Card’s alarm LED is still red, Contact Technical Support
OSC LED is red
Oscillation detected
- Check Donor/Server ant. Isolation. Reduce gain and/or
increase antenna isolation.
SD LED is red
Shutdown
- Check the S/D reason using WEB GUI.
- If the DL and UL Path controls are Off, turn it back On.
- If Overpower S/D occurred reduce manual gain value or
AGC level.
DCF LED is orange
Donor Circuit failure
- DL Donor Power too high
- After checking the DL input Power, adjust the location of the
Minor
antenna or install the external Atten antenna to be the
permitted range if it is over the permitted level.
DCF LED is orange
Donor Circuit failure
- DL Donor Power too high
- After checking the DL input Power, adjust the location of the
antenna or install the external Atten antenna to be the
permitted range if it is over the permitted level

Check Point
DPL LED is orange
Solution
Donor power too low
- DL Donor Power too low
- If the DL input Power is too low, adjust the location and/or
azimuth of the antenna.
CCF LED is orange
Coverage Circuit failure
- UL Power at coverage high, DL VSWR
Problem
- If the DPL LED is normal but the CCF LED is in alarm,
check mobile device for excessive TX power level.
RE LED is orange
Reset engaged
- Reset alarm
- Do not control the Repeater during reset.
AGC LED is orange
AGC active
- AGC On
- It means that AGC is On and operating.
6.2. GUI Alarm
Problem
General
Check Point
Solution
Tamper detected
Install the RF Card and set the Lock using the WEB GUI.

- Check if the input power is AC85-264V and if it is normal,
out of range
Contact Technical Support.
Communication
Check the status of the Data Cable connection.

are off by Manual gain setting.
Heartbeat
Check the connection of the Remote NMS Cable.
Check the interval of Heartbeat on the WEB GUI.
Oscillation detected
Uplink
Check Donor/Server antenna Isolation value. If the gain
value is lower than repeater gain +15dB, adjust the antenna
location and or reduce gain.

If the UL Input Power is too high, suspect excessive
high
mobile TX power. Determine root cause of high
mobile TX power.
Synthesizer failure
If the same alarm occurs after resetting the RF Card,
request technical support.

Hardware failure
If the same alarm occurs after resetting the RF Card,
request technical support.
Software failure
If the same alarm is occurs after resetting the RF Card,
request technical support.
Out-of-band emissions out
This may be caused by inter-modulation when other
of spec
signal is too high. You can solve this problem by
adjusting antenna location.
Donor Power too high/low
Check the DL Input Power, need to adjust the antenna
location, azimuth or install attenuator.
Low isolation
Check Donor/Server antenna Isolation value. If the
Gain value is lower than repeater gain +15dB, adjust
the antenna location and/or use less repeater gain.
Synthesizer failure
If the same alarm occurs after resetting the RF Card,
request technical support.
Downlink
Hardware failure
If the same alarm occurs after resetting the RF Card,
request technical support.
Software failure
If the same alarm occurs after resetting the RF Card,
request technical support.
Spurious emissions out of
Check for high VSWR and/or RF interference.

Interferer power exceeded
This may be caused by inter-modulation when other
signal is too high. You can solve this problem by
adjusting antenna location.
