Safety 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.

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.

1. 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.

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.
