Page 14: Introduction
The opportunity to adjust the passband of a repeater helps to cover any specific segment or frequency band. Due to modular design, the single-varia version MRx18 may be available as a dual- / triple-varia segment or a dual-band-varia version in one cabinet. The dual- / triple- segment MRx18/x18(/x18) is able to transmit two or three variable segments within one frequency band. - Page 15 • RSSI and status indication via display • Optional remote control via SMS • Connection to LAN • Remote alarming through SNMP alarm traps • Compliant with all regulatory agencies (e.g. GSM 05.05, 3GPP and FCC) M0139ACN Manual for MRx18 Dual/Triple-Segment & Dual-Band Page 15...
