- Page 17 <IC Warning statement> RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2 – (transmitters) Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Page 18: Overview For Each Module
2.1.2 Ethernet Port and Host/Remote Switch 2.1.2.1 Ethernet Port The Ethernet port can be used to communicate directly with the SDR using a RJ-45 crossover cable or can also be used to connect the SDR to an external modem box. -
Page 19: Dc Power Port & Debug Port
Communication Port- These RJ-45 ports are used to connect the SDR-NMS to the SDR modules using the included RJ-45 cables. Figure 6 Communication Port Note: Each module must be plugged into the corresponding port number on the SDR-NMS in order for the NMS to properly detect the modules. Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. -
Page 20: Nms Power Port & Power Outlet For Channel Card
NMS-PWN-IN (NMS power input)- The NRS-PWN-IN port is used to power the SDR-NMS. The 2-pin cable connects to the any one of NMS-PWR-OUT ports on the SDR modules. The NMS power can be used to power on/off the SDR-NMS. -

Page 22: Power Switch
The SDR module 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 SDR via the external battery port as shown in Figure (WARNING: The circuit switch on the ADRF-BBU must be set to OFF before connecting the ADRF-BBU to the SDR to prevent damage to the repeater or the ADRF-BBU and personal injury.) -

Page 30: Antenna Separation/Isolation
A sufficient isolation value is 13 ~ 15 dB greater than the maximum gain of the repeater. For example, if the gain of the repeater is 50 dB, then an isolation of 63 ~ 65 dB or greater is required. In the same manner, because the SDR has a maximum gain of 95dB in case of SDR-33, it requires an isolation of at least 108 ~ 110dB. -
Page 31: Line Of Sight
4.4 Line of Sight The donor antenna which points towards the base station typically has a narrow beam antenna pattern. As a result, a slight deviation away from the direction of the BTS can lead to less than optimum results. In addition, obstacles between the repeater and the BTS may impair the repeater from obtaining any BTS signal. -
