AGC Mode

AGC (Auto Gain Control) adjusts the variable gain of the repeater to ensure a

constant specified output power of 37, 40 or 43 dBm (depending on the Epoch-

HP model). The functionality of the AGC feature is assured under the condition

that the input BTS signal is within the specified AGC range and that sufficient

isolation exists between antennas. By default, the

AGC ON

box is checked. To

manually change the gains in both the links,

AGC ON

must be unchecked.

AGC ON

is checked and

Uplink Tracking ON

is unchecked, the user can specify

the AGC level in the downlink and in the uplink respectively @ 0.5 dB step. By

default, the AGC Level is set to maximum output power in each link.

By default,

Uplink Tracking

is not checked. Once both AGC and Uplink Tacking

are

checked, this allows the user to set the AGC level in the downlink only. The

default values that will be displayed on both Downlink and Uplink AGC Levels are

the maximum output power as shown in the table below:

Output Power Level Default Downlink AGC Level Default Uplink AGC Level

5 W 43 dBm 33 dBm

10 W 40 dBm 30 dBm

20 W 37 dBm 27 dBm
