1Safety Precautions Opening the CAT-5 DAS equipment could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury. Connect the equipment frame ground to the building ground. Operating the CAT-5 DAS with antennas in very close proximity facing each other can 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.

Abbreviation Definition AC Alternating Current ANT Antenna ATT Attenuator / Attenuation MHU Main Hub Unit RU Remote Unit EHU Extension Hub Unit C.W Continuous Wave GUI Graphic User Interface LED Light Emitting Diode PLL Phase-locked loop PSU Power Supply Unit MCU Main Control Unit UDC Up-Down Converter DL Downlink GND Grounding RF Radio Frequency RSSI Received Signal Strength Indication TEMP Temperature DC Direct Current UL Uplink VSWR Voltage Standing Wave Ratio CLC Cable Loss Compensation ALC (Automatic Level Control) ALC feature prevents the repeater from exceeding its maximum output power by reducing the gain automatically. ALC is used to adjust the gain to an appropriate level for a range of input signal levels. ASD (Automatic Shutdown) Automatic shut down 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 exceeds higher than the “ASD LEVEL”, the repeater will shut down for “ASD TIME” seconds and it will turn the amp back on to measure the output power again. If this repeats at “Iteration” times, the repeater will shut down completely.
51. Introduction • The CAT-5 In-building DAS consist of a MHU unit and a maximum of 8 remote units. Each remote unit can have up to 2 server antenna ports so that one MHU has the ability to provide up to 16 server antennas. The MHU and the remote unit are interconnected using the analog CAT5e method so that the system can simultaneously provide TRI Band. (CDMA1900 / iDEN800 / iDEN900) service to multiple floors in the building. < Basic Organization > • If EHU unit is added between MHU and Remote at the CAT-5 In-building DAS composition, it will be a composition like below. MHU is able to connect EHU 8EA and every EHU unit connects Remote 8EA. Thus, Remote can be connected maximum 64EA.

MHU MCU & Interface Unit components ¾ Power Supply Unit (PSU) ¾ Main Control Unit (MCU) ¾ MHU Interface Unit ¾ Command & Control Unit(C&C) RF UDC Unit components ¾ CDMA 1900 DL/UL UDC Unit ¾ iDEN 800/900 DL/UL UDC Unit PoE Unit components (Option) ¾ PSU ¾ PSE The MHU Unit can detect input signals from the TRI Band (CDMA1900/iDEN800/iDEN900). The input signals are changed into IF analog signals by UDC for the transmission using the STP or SFTP cable and then the IF analog signals are transmitted to 8 temotes through the interface board.
