1Quick GuideIntroductionIntroductionNOTCHCELL repeater can be used in CDMA service shaded areas likein-buildings, underground and tunnels to cover its service area. This repeater system designed for dual and simultaneous service, namely, it receives signals from the base station through donor antenna, amplifies the signals andre-transmits it to one or other mobile stations.- NOTCHCELL utilizes the web-based user interface and web server to support the remote access. There are two physical LAN ports: • The Local port provides the wireless on-site access to the repeater.The two ports allow local and remote users to access the repeater simultaneously. - DHCP server at the Local port enables Plug and Play by automatically assigning the IP address to the user’s computer.- Parameter setup is only one click away – • Automatic Easy Setup feature will measure the isolation and limit the maximum gain accordingly. This will also enable Auto Level Control as well as Auto Shut Down. These two features are strongly recommended to prevent the uncontrolled power output, which could have an adverse impact on the RF network and the repeater. For example, ALC will automatically apply attenuation when the input signal strength is increased due to the new base station deployment near the repeater site. • R-tron implemented intelligent design in the NOTCHCELL as following:ƇProgrammable Bandwidth and Band » 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz contiguous and non-contiguous segments » Any Band Combination within 65MHz PCS Band [A,D,B,E,F,C,G] » Three (3) 5MHz segmentsƇRemote Access and ControlƇBuilt in CDMA MODEMƇ(DV\DQG4XLFN,QVWDOODWLRQª:HEEDVHG*8,» Plug and Play - DHCP Server @ Local Port » Automatic Easy Setup (Recommended) » ,VRODWLRQ'HWHFWLRQ » WiFi Access on siteƇAuto Level Control & Auto Shut DownNOTCH antenna (Sold separately)A NOTCH antenna has great front-back ratio and ensures the better isolation between the Donor Antenna and Server Antenna.
