3. Commissioning 3.1 Connection step by step MASTER UNIT RF ports, Power, Dry Contact and Ground Terminal connection points. 1. Connect the donor antenna to the To Base RF Port. N type female connectors are used in the unit. 2. Once RF ports of the unit are properly loaded connect the Main AC or DC power (depending on the model).
Page 27
5. Once the Master Unit has been connected to the power source, it takes about 40 seconds to run a booting routine. After that time, the Signal Booster is ready to be connected via USB cable to a computer running Fiplex Control Software (FCS) to be properly configured. NOTE: If the Power Connector and Dry contact Multipin connector are not allowed in the local AHJ, then the user can use the provided conduit connector or cord-grips.
Page 28
REMOTE UNITS 1. Connect the service antennas to the To Mobile RF Port. N type female connectors are used in the unit. 2. Once RF ports of the unit are properly loaded connect the Main AC or DC power (depending on the model). If using the AC model, electrical installation must provide differential and thermo-magnetic breaker elements according to electric safety international regulations.

5. Starting Operation BE SURE THAT “TO MOBILE” AND “TO BASE” PORTS ARE PROPERLY LOADED EITHER WITH 50 OHMS DUMMY LOADS, OR RADIATING SYSTEM. IN ALL MASTER UNITS AND REMOTE UNITS. 1. Turn ON the Master Unit and Remote Unis coupled together, connect computer to the Master Unit through USB cable, and run FiplexControl Software.
Page 38
3. Setup the needed channel frequencies in the following part of the GUI for all the available bands.
Page 39
4. If FirstNet amplification is required, in the PS700MHz section click on “Assign 1 st ADJBW to FirstNet”. Note that the 1 st ADJBW Filter is now assigned to FirstNet. WARNING: Make sure to disable the FirstNet option on the Canadian territory.

5. If OFF, Turn ON the UL and DL power amplifiers, and check that any alarm indicator is active. 6. Setup desired operating gain using FCS. UL and DL chain are independent, so both values must be set. To set DL band gain is recommended that AGC works around 3 - 6dB in each channel, in this way, maximum output power is achieved.
9. Use the integrated spectrum analyzer to verify the spectrum. Laboratory Measurements For specific parameters verification and laboratory tests, please contact factory. Detailed procedures, recommended tests set up, and a knowledge engineering team will bring adequate support to perform the measurements in a comfortable and safely way.

3. The installer will start to copy the necessary files.
Page 44
4. After installation has completed, a shortcut in user desktop will appear. 5. Connect USB cable between computer and Signal Booster, keeping the Signal Booster powered off. Usually, drivers will be automatically installed, but depending on Windows version, screen asking for drivers of new device can appear. Drivers can be found in application folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\FiplexControlSoftware\drivers”.
Page 45
7. Execute the Fiplex Control Software. Next window will appear: User interface controls: Scan Devices Button: refresh the available COM ports and identify Fiplex devices Connection Button: connect / disconnect software from Signal Booster List of available devices: below two buttons, is placed a dropdown list that shows all available COM ports.
Page 46
Now, the Fiplex Digital Signal Booster is shown in the list of available devices, and connection button is enabled. NOTE: Fiplex Signal Booster could not appear in list, if COM port number is higher than COM16, depending on Windows version. COM port number can be forced to arbitrary number (below COM16) through Device Administrator.
Page 47
Change COM port number 9. Click “Connect”. Fiplex Control Software window will be automatically maximized, and web browser will show the configuration screen. Application screens are described in the next section due to these application screens and web pages (in webserver remote mode) are the same. 10.
