3.2.2 Mounting
The Host Unit is intended for use in indoor, rack-mounted applications. For rack mounting, a pair of
mounting brackets is provided that allows the Host Unit to be mounted in a 19 equipment rack. When
rack-mounted, the front panel of the Host Unit is flush with the front of the rack.
3.2.3 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
The Host Unit detects internal circuitry faults and optical port faults. Various front panel LED indicators turn
from green to red if a fault is detected or an optical input is lost. A set of dry-contact alarm points(normally
open and normally closed) are also provided for interfacing with an external alarm system.
3.2.4 RF Signal Connections
RF signal connections with the BTS are supported through two QMA female connectors per RF Band (5
bands supported). One QMA connector per band is used for coaxial cable connection of the combined
downlink path (TXin) RF signal. The other QMA connector is used for coaxial cable connection of the
combined uplink path (RXout) RF signal.
Notes: The input RF signal level range to Host Unit is -10dBm - +10dBm, normally it is between -5~0dBm.
3.2.5 Optical Connections
The Host Unit optical connections to the Remote Unit are supported on the Fiber Interface Unit (FIU). Each
FIU supports two independent optical paths, each consisting of a status LED, two QMA RF connectors, and
anE2000/APC optical transceiver using single-mode fiber. Up to five bands of non-overlapping RF signal
can be transported across a single fiber. A second fiber connection is required for MIMO transmission.
