DESCRIPTION
Power

ON

OFF
to turn
that module ON or OFF. The system does this by supplying or cutting power to the
RF module’s slot. It is therefore possible to turn power on even for empty slots.

Output Power
This shows the current actual output power of this RU-RF module.

The Extender Screen
If you have connected one or more Extenders to ZoneDAS, it will show up on the
Home
screen (
). There you will see all your connected Extenders, alongside all the RUs
that are directly connected to the BU. Click on an Extender to access the
Extender Screen
.
It allows you to access all the RUs connected to that Extender, and it looks like this:

Home > Extender
The Extender screen looks a lot like the
Home
screen, as it is basically the same screen. The
difference is that it replaces the BU with the Extender—and the BU’s RUs with the Extender’s
RUs. It also behaves in the same way, so you can access the
RU Screen
for an RU simply by
clicking on that RU (or the SD port it’s connected to).
In effect, the Extender is a subsidiary BU
. From the
Extender Screen
, you may access the RUs
connected to that Extender—and only those RUs. To go back to the
Home
screen, where
you will see the BU and other Extenders/RUs, simply click
Home
from the Navigation Panel.
Note: You cannot connect an Extender to another Extender (cascading Extenders is not
supported).
