Installation Instructions
If setting up a new rack unit, make sure to complete the rack unit setup according to the
Manufacturers’ instructions.
Base Station Installation into the Rack Unit
Receiver and Transmitter Connections
To connect the base station, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Connect the RF coaxial cable to Receiver 1 (RX1) on the back of the base station.
Step 2
Route the cable neatly toward the top of the rack. Allow a little slack in the cable to
avoid accidental disconnection.
Step 3
Connect the RF coaxial cable to Receiver 2 (RX2) on the back of the base station.
Step 4
Route the cable neatly toward the top of the rack. Allow a little slack in the cable to
avoid accidental disconnection.
Step 5
Connect the RF coaxial cable to Receiver 3 (RX3) on the back of the base station.
Step 6
Route the cable neatly toward the top of the rack. Allow a little slack in the cable to
avoid accidental disconnection.
For clear identification for troubleshooting and/or maintenance activities, avoid
crossing the coaxial cables.
Step 7
Connect the RF coaxial cable to the Transmitter (TX) connection on the back of the
base station.
Step 8
If connecting to a power amplifier (as shown in the figure below), connect the cable
from the base station to the power amplifier via the Transmitter (TX) connection.
If not connecting to a power amplifier, skip to Step 11.
Step 10
If a power amplifier is used, connect an RF coaxial cable to the output port of the
power amplifier.
Step 11
Route the cable neatly toward the top of the rack. Allow a little slack in the cable to
avoid accidental disconnection.
Step 12
To perform the RX1, RX2, RX3, and TX antenna connections, refer to the
Typical
Antenna Configuration
section in this chapter.
