Chapter 2. Base Station Components
Each WSC has a wireless interface port that connects via a coax cable to the outdoor-
mounted BSR. The WSC uses a 70 MHz IF signal to transport traffic control signals
and power to the base station radio. The WSC card interfaces are labelled in
Figure 2-4.
WSC cards are hot swappable, and can be replaced or added without having to
shutdown the PM 5000 Base Station or disrupt traffic passing through other WSC
cards.
