CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURATION & TESTING
5.1 Powering on the BDA
1. Make sure the exterior and interior antenna cables are firmly connected to their corresponding ports on the Type 4 enclosure.
2. Verify that the green Power light is illuminated.
3. When the booster is turned on, the band lights will flash red and yellow for approximately 10 seconds.
CAUTION: ONLY USE THE POWER SUPPLY INCLUDED WITH THEBDA. USE OF
ANOTHER POWER SUPPLY COULD DAMAGE THEBDA AND/OR POWER
SUPPLY.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROCEED BEYOND THIS POINT UNTIL THEBDA IS
POWERED ON AND NO RED WARNING LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED.
5.2 DIP Switch Configuration
By default, all DIP switches are turned in the OFF position, which provides maximum gain to all channels.
To access digital channelization, see "Chapter 7: Sentry Configuration & Monitoring" on page 26
. Note that attenuation made through
Sentry software is cumulative with that of the Booster’s DIP switches.
BEFORE INITIAL CONFIGURATION, set booster switches with high, but not full, attenuation (as full attenuation would cause the band to
shut off).
DURING CONFIGURATION, you may add gain incrementally until the signal level has improved enough to meet safety requirements.
NOTE: TURN ALL UPLINK DIP SWITCHES TO ON AND ADJUST THEMBACK ONE STEP
AT A TIME UNTIL UPLINK CONNECTIVITY IS MADE WITH THE EMERGENCY RADIO
TOWER.
