This port directly connects to the Ethernet port of the internal modem box. If a Digi Transport WR-21 is being used with the repeater, used the included RJ-45 jumper cable to connect the Local and Modem ports together and then flip the Host/Remote switch to the Remote position.
Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. 17 • Local – The Local port can be used to communicate directly with the AXM700-9543 using a RJ-45 crossover cable or can also be used to connect the AXM700-9543 to an external modem box or the optional internal Digi Transport WR-21.
Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. 18 2.2.2 Host/Remote Switch The Host/Remote Switch allows the user to switch the default Repeater IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway of the repeater to an alternative setup. These settings can be adjusted by logging into the repeater in HOST mode and configuring the settings under the Modem Box Setting section on the Install Page (section 5.4.4). Once the settings are set, flipping the switch to the REMOTE position will reboot the repeater with the new alternate settings. Please note that when the repeater is set to the REMOTE position, DHCP is disabled and the repeater will not automatically assign an IP address to any device that connects directly to the repeater. • Host IP: 192.168.63.1 (Fixed IP, unable to modify this IP address) • Remote IP: 192.168.63.5 (Default IP, but can be modified in Host mode) 2.2.3 AC Power Figure 2-3 AC Input Port AC port is located at bottom of system.

Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. 19 The AC Power on/off switch and AC selection switch are located at left of PSU. The AXM700-9543 PSU can operate at 110V AC and 220V AC. The user should verify that the AC input voltage selection switch is set to the correct voltage before powering on the AXM700-9543. 2.2.4 Back Up Battery Port Figure 2-5 Battery Backup Port The AXM700-9543 can be connected to an ADRF-BBU (ADRF Battery Backup) to provide power during a power failure. If an ADRF-BBU is utilized, connect the ADRF-BBU to the AXM700-9543 via the external battery port. (WARNING: The circuit switch on the ADRF-BBU must be set to OFF before connecting the ADRF-BBU to the AXM700-9543 to prevent damage to the repeater or the ADRF-BBU and personal injury.) Note: Please contact ADRF Technical Support for assistance if you are unfamiliar with the installation procedure of our battery box. 2.3 RF Ports Figure 2-6 RFU RF port 2.3.1 RF Ports • DONOR – DIN female which is used to connect the donor antenna • DONOR_CPL (30dB) – SMA female 30 dB coupling port which is used to monitor the amplified UL signal • MODEM_ANT – SMA female port which is used to provide RF signal to the optional internal modem box • SERVER_CPL (30dB) – SMA female 30 dB coupling port which is used to monitor the amplified DL signal • SERVER – DIN female which is used to connect the server antenna

Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. 23 4.3 Antenna Separation/Isolation Separation between the antennas is necessary to prevent oscillation. Oscillation occurs when the signal entering the system continually reenters, due to the lack of separation between the donor and server antennas. In other words, the signal is being fed back into the system. This creates a constant amplification of the same signal. As a result, the noise level rises above the signal level. Figure 4-3 RF Repeater Oscillation To prevent feedback, the donor and server antennas must be separated by an appropriate distance to provide sufficient isolation. Isolation is attained by separating antennas a sufficient distance so that the output of one antenna does not reach the input of the other. This distance is dependent on the gain of the repeater. A sufficient isolation value is 15 ~ 20dB greater than the maximum gain of the repeater. For example, if the gain of the repeater is 50 dB, then an isolation of 65 ~ 70dB or greater is required. In the same manner, because the AXM700-9543 has a maximum gain of 95dB in case of AXM700-9543, it requires isolation of at least 110 ~ 115dB.
Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. 24 4.4 Line of Sight The donor antenna which points towards the eNode-B typically has a narrow beam antenna pattern. As a result, a slight deviation away from the direction of the eNode-B can lead to less than optimum results. In addition, obstacles between the repeater and the eNode-B may impair the repeater from obtaining any eNode-B signal. As a result, the repeater cannot transmit signal to the coverage area. Therefore, a direct line of sight to the eNode-B for the donor antenna is vital to the function of a repeater. For the same reason, placing the server antenna in direct line of sight of the coverage area is also necessary. Figure 4-4 Line of Sight to the eNode-B

Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. 48 ϴ. APPENDIX ϴ͘1 Shutdown Retry Logic The function of the built-in shutdown routine is to protect the repeater from any further damage from a hard-fail that the system may be experiencing. Within 5 seconds of a hard-fail alarm being detected, the repeater will start the shutdown routine. The repeater will shut down by powering of the HPAs (high-powered amplifiers) for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds have elapsed, the repeater will power on the HPAs and check to see if the hard-fail alarm still exist. If the hard-fail alarm still exists, then the repeater will shut down for 1 minute (double the time of the previous shutdown time). After 1 minute has elapsed, the repeater will power on the HPAs and check to see if the hard-fail alarm still exist. If the hard-fail alarm still exists, then the repeater will shut down for 2 minutes (double the time of the previous shutdown time). The shutdown routine will repeat itself a total of 10 times. If the hard-fail alarm still exists after the 10th retry, then the repeater will turn off its HPAs permanently until a reset is performed or factory set is executed.
