The equation is: DART Forward Gain = 5 - fully Loaded Base St ation Signal CAUTION! If you are setting up the system when no calls are going through, you must allow headroom for a fully loaded forward path. For CDMA protocols, the difference from unloaded to fully loaded is typically 8dB, so if the unloaded signal is -15dBm, then the fully loaded input would be -7 dBm and the Host Forward Gain should be set to 5-(-7) = 12 dB.The same rules applies for GSM carriers, except that the unloaded to loaded is determined by the equation 10*log10(# RF Channels). So if there are 4 GSM RF Channels, then the loaded forward path is 6 dB above unloaded.If sufficient headroom is not present, then the LPA can be over-powered causing a Loss Of Service.CAUTION! When configured correctly, the Host DART Forward input can handle peaks of 14dB above the BTS signal level. For example, if the fully loaded CDMA carrier is -25dBm, then peaks up to -11 dBm can be handled (CDMA peak to average is typically 10-12 dB). If the peaks exceed the 14 dB of headroom, then Automatic Level Control (ALC) will occur to prevent over-driving the A/D Converter.NOTE: In the EMS GUI, the reverse path gain range for Classic DARTs is 5 to 36 dB, which indicates actual reverse path system gain. If you set this gain through the SNMP SET commands, then the gain range is 0 to 31 dB, which maps to the actual GUI/system reverse path gain range of 5 to 36 dB.

An LPA VSWR Fault occurs if the VSWR m easurem ent exceeds t he threshold, which is 3: 1.–LPA Mode—t he LPA Mode, which can be Normal or Standby–LPA Status—t he LPA st atus. I n case of dual LPA, it will indicat e t he value for bot h LPAs as eit her 1-Offline or 2-Operating.•Passband—t ype of passband provided by t he DART•Frequency (MHz)—passband frequency of t he DART
