EXPOSURE TO RF Working with the repeater while in operation, may expose the technician to RF electromagnetic fields that exceed FCC rules for human exposure. Visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety to learn more about the effects of exposure to RF electromagnetic fields.
Lithium Battery: CAUTION. RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS. Ethernet Instructions: This equipment is for indoor use only. All cabling should be limited to inside the building. Preclude indications that Home/ personal use are prohibited. Use of unauthorized antennas, cables, and/or coupling devices not conforming with ERP/EIRP is prohibited.
FCC Part 27.50 Antennas must be installed in accordance with FCC 27.50 and SRSP 518. With 17dBi gain antennas the height of the antenna above average terrain (HAAT) must not exceed 1106m.

• Local – The Local port can be used to communicate directly with the AXM700F-9543-ICS-X using a RJ-45 crossover cable or can also be used to connect the AXM700F-9543-ICS-X to an external modem box or the optional internal Digi Transport WR-21. 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 LOCAL port of the repeater to an alternative setup.
2.2.4 Back Up Battery Port Figure 2-5 Battery Backup Port The AXM700F-9543-ICS-X can be connected to an ADRF-BBU (ADRF Battery Backup Unit) to provide power during a power failure. If an ADRF-BBU is utilized, connect the ADRF-BBU to the AXM700F-9543-ICS-X via the external battery port. (WARNING: The circuit breaker switch on the ADRF-BBU must be set to OFF before connecting the ADRF-BBU to the AXM700F-9543-ICS-X to prevent damage to the repeater or the ADRF-BBU and personal injury.

4. 4.1 INSTALLATION Installation Procedures 4.1.1 Wall Mount Procedure • • • • • • Verify that the AXM700F-9543-ICS-X and mounting hole are in good condition Place the AXM700F-9543-ICS-X mounting bracket template up against the wall and mark of mount holes Mount the AXM700F-9543-ICS-X to wall use the six (6) mounting hole on the wall mount bracket Connect the GND cable Connect the Antenna cable Connect the Power cable Mount bracket Figure 4-1 4.
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.
4.4 Line of Sight The donor antenna which points towards the eNode-B (or BTS) typically has a narrow beam antenna pattern. As a result, a slight deviation away from the direction of the eNode-B (or BTS) can lead to less than optimal results. In addition, obstacles between the repeater and the eNode-B (or BTS) may impair the repeater from obtaining any eNode-B (or BTS) signal. As a result, the repeater cannot transmit signal to the coverage area.
5. AXM700F-9543-ICS-X WEB-GUI SETUP The Web-GUI allows the user to communicate with the repeater either locally or remotely. To connect to the repeater locally, you will need a laptop with an Ethernet port and a RJ-45 crossover cable. To connect to the repeater remotely, you will need to have an active internet connection and the repeater must have either an internal modem or an external modem box connected to the repeater. 5.
5.2 Status Tab Figure 5-2 Status Tab 5.2.1 Power & Gain This section displays the Input, Gain, and Output for both downlink and uplink. Figure 5-3 • • • • Power & Gain Display Input [dBm] – Displays the in-band Downlink/Uplink signal level. The system will display “--.-“when the input level is < -90 dBm. Gain [dB] User Set: Displays the amount of gain that user set. ALC: Displays the amount of gain that is attenuated by ALC function.
This section displays the alarm status for System alarms, RF Alarms, and Power alarms. If an alarm is present in the system, then the color of the alarm tab will change according to the type of failure. Figure 5-4 Alarm Display 5.2.3 Message Board Displays the 40 most recent events.

5.3 Control Tab Figure 5-8 Control page 5.3.1 General Setting Figure 5-9 • • • • General Setting ICS ON: Enables or disables the Interference Cancellation System (ICS) ILC ON: Enables or disables the Interference Level Control (ILC) Downlink HPA ON: Enables or disables the DL HPA (High Power Amplifier) Uplink HPA ON: Enables or disabled the UL HPA (High Power Amplifier) To enable any of the settings, click on the checkbox and click the Apply button. Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
WARNING: Inserting a CW signal into the AXM700F-9543-ICS-X when ICS is enabled will cause the system to generate a false alarm. The false alarm will cause the system to go into a shutdown state. If a CW signal needs to be injected into the repeater for testing purposes, the ICS routine must be turned off. 5.3.
• • • DL Output ALC Level: Prevents the output power from exceeding the specified value DL Output ALC Offset: When the incoming signal level increases, the system will not adjust the attenuation levels until the delta reaches the level specified DL /UL Gain Balance ON: Allows the user to enable or disable the gain balance. When gain balance is enabled, the delta value between the downlink and uplink gains remain constant 5.3.

10. APPENDIX 10.1 Shutdown Retry Logic The function of the built-in shutdown routine is to protect the repeater from any further damage from a hardfail 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.
