NOTE: For software releases prior to 7.3, the LPAs were labeled as 1, 2, 3, and 4.
NOTE: For Classic dual position 40W RF Modules only: in a dual LPA system, the Configure Remote Forward
Gain page shows two values for the LPA status, one for each LPA. Changing the LPA Mode or resetting
the LPA applies to both LPAs at the same time.
CAUTION! Should your system experience an LPA problem, refer to Table 10 to ensure that you apply new settings
or troubleshoot the correct RF Module.
The Legacy Dual-Bay 40W RF Module occupies two bays in a PRU. Figure 8 shows the main components in a PRU
enclosure, with a Legacy 40W RF Module
occupying Bays A and B. The controlling DART will always be in the
upper bay (B or D), and the second LPA is always in the lower bay (A or C).
