2.5 CONNECTING THE DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEM
The chassis provides access to the female N-type connectors for your distributed antenna
system (DAS) or other external antennas.
The antenna cabling for the picoBTS will typically be configured for connection to an Inter-
Reach DAS system. Your site specific DAS system and configuration was determined during
the network planning stage of implementation.
1 Verify the power is OFF on both the picoBTS and DAS chassis.
2 Using one RF cable, connect the
TRANSMIT N-type connector on the picoBTS to the
DOWNLINK connector on the DAS chassis. Tighten the connectors by hand until snug.
3 Using the second RF cable, connect the
RECEIVE connector on the picoBTS to the
UPLINK connector on the DAS chassis. Tighten the connectors by hand until snug.
4 Figure 2-7 illustrates the connections between the picoBTS and the DAS. Verify the
connections are correct and all connectors are tight.
