3.3 Switch 5:  CDMA Modulation  

 
A different calibration table is needed for CDMA operation.  Turn on switch 5 for 
CDMA use. 

 

Modulation 

Switch 5 Position 

CDMA

3.4  Switch 6, 7, and 8:  Downlink Peak Power Limit 

 
For initial power-up, turn all these switches “off”.  See Appendix B for full details. 
 
This completes the configuration switch settings.  Leave the cover off so adjustments 
can be made later if needed. 
 

4.0  Installing the EkoMini

TM

 

Only qualified technicians should perform the installation.  The user is cautioned that 
modification or changes to this device not expressly approved by 

EMS Wireless

 

could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. 
 

The EkoMini

TM

 is designed for indoor use only.  It should not be mounted outside. 

 

• 

Determine the donor and server antenna(s) locations.  Choose a 
location for the EkoMini

TM

 that will minimize coaxial cable lengths to 

these antennas, while maintaining adequate isolation.  Also choose 
a protected area such as an electrical or telephone room so the 
EkoMini

TM

 will not be physically damaged.  The location must also 

be near a 100 - 240 VAC, 47 – 63 Hz outlet.  

See Figures 3 and 4 

below – do not apply AC power without the coaxial cables and 
antennas installed!  If this is done, disconnect and then 
reconnect the DC power cable after the antennas are 
connected.  This will initiate a software reset.
