Downlink/Uplink HPA Mode
The HPA mode enables the user to turn the HPA on or off. If the HPA is turned
off on either link, the Epoch-HP will not operate properly. Both HPAs needs to
be turned on for the RF portion of the repeater to work in both directions
(downlink and uplink). By default, the
Downlink/Uplink HPA ON box is checked.
Either or both HPAs can be turned off for troubleshooting purposes during an
installation process.
Uplink Tracking/Offset Modes
Uplink tracking mode enables or disables the
Uplink Tracking ON feature that
sets the gain in the uplink equaling to the gain in the downlink. The tracking
gain offset is the difference in the uplink and downlink gains. For example, if
the downlink gain is 80 dB, the
Uplink Tracking ON is checked, and the Uplink
Tracking Gain Offset is set to 3 dB, the uplink gain would be 77 dB.
By default, the
Uplink Tracking ON box is not checked. If it was checked, then
the default
Uplink Tracking Offset is set to 3 dB. This means that the uplink gain
will track the down link gain and will be 3 dB less.
