INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 1 GENERAL INFORMATION The RX-8123 WCDMA 850MHz digital wireless selective repeater is designed for WCDMA 850MHz networks. It can wireless transmit, two-way amplify WCDMA uplink and downlink signals and is designed for eliminating communicational coverage blind spots. By using the new Comba AFC (Antenna Feedback Cancellation) technique, the system isolation tolerance has been greatly improved: Imax>G-15dB, which...
2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION SYSTEM DIAGRAM Figure 1: RX-8123 System Diagram As shown in the above figure, the downlink BS signals go through DT port to the system and then to downlink by duplexer separation. The DL signals will go through DT duplexer then to AFC digital processing module for digital filtering and self-oscillation elimination.

INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 3 INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND ALERTS Radio Frequency Energies There may be situations, particularly for workplace environments near high-powered RF sources, where recommended limits for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases, restrictive measures or actions may be necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS Site Considerations The site considerations are listed below: • The distance between the donor antenna and the BS should satisfy line of sight requirements for maximum coverage area. The received spots accept field intensity at least -70dBm.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 3.3.1 GOODS INWARDS INSPECTION 1. Verify the number of packages received against the packing list. 2. Check all packages for external damage; report any external damage to the shipping courier. If there is damage, a shipping agent should be present before unpacking and inspecting the contents because damage caused during transit is the responsibility of the agent.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 3.3.4 WALL MOUNTING Drill holes on the wall by using the position of the four round holes on the Mounting rack as a guide. Insert the masonry bolts M10x110 through the round holes and tighten them to take the weight of the entire enclosure.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 3.3.5 POLE MOUNTING OF MOUNTING RACK See figure4 and drill the holes for pole mounting preparation. Secure the Mounting rack onto the pole using masonry bolts (M10 x 10). Hook the enclosure up onto the mounting rack and align the hole positions to that of the mounting rack, then installed the side bolts.

Notice: The OMC software with remote connection to the equipment over wireless GSM / CDMA network is optional for customers. The below OMT description and illustration are took RX-8123 (20W) for an example. LOCAL AND REMOTE CONNECTIONS TO OMT After installing OMT software on the PC, connection to the equipment can be done locally or remotely.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 5.1.2 REMOTE CONNECTION TO OMT If remote connection is needed, users can select [Remote connection via modem] in connection type window. Select desired serial port and click “OK” in [Serial Port Configuration] window to go to OMT main window and start modem initialization.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 Figure 13: OMT Main Window RF PARAMETER It is recommended to configure the following RF parameters for the first installation. 5.3.1 SWITCH Switch is to enable/disable power for internal modules. When user checks and sets non-RF parameters, such as checking physical antenna connection, switching off will disable equipment power temporarily to protect PA in operation.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 5.3.2 CHANNEL NO. Channel No. includes Low Edge Channel No. and High Edge Channel No. The value in [MaxValue] column is the upper limit of the range, while the value in [MinValue] column is the lower limit of the range.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 5.3.4 ALARM THRESHOLD Alarm Threshold includes Power threshold, Temperature threshold and VSWR threshold. Users can set alarm threshold according to the specific situation. If the measured value is lower than the threshold lower limit or more than the threshold upper limit, the appropriate alarm will be generated.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 Figure 20: External Alarm Config: Tick the check box of [Item select] and [Enable] of the desired parameters and click [config] button to finish configuration operation. Notice: [Enable] box is to enable the alarm monitoring for system. Only if users enable the alarm by ticking the [Enable] box, the alarms can be monitored by the OMT/OMC.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 5.4.2 COMM. CONFIG If the equipment is to be monitored by OMC software over ireless GSM / CDMA network, users must finish the [Comm. Config.] in the next step. The Comm. Config information requires to be manually entered by users after successful connection to the equipment.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR RX-8123 6 MAINTENANCE The RX-8123 repeater is designed for trouble-free operation and generally does not need maintenance. Maintenance activities should only be carried out by trained personnel. The equipment operation status can be observed remotely through OMT/OMC.
