Maintenance
The CR100 does not require maintenance, as long as the it is properly
installed following the guidelines stated in this manual. Arrista recommends
that all RF connectors be periodically checked for corrosion, strain relief, and
the integrity of power connections
Operation
The in-building repeater operates automatically and does not require user
intervention. There are no user controls, except for a sliding switch to allow a
user to connect additional subscriber antenna on the repeaters secondary
port for increased coverage area.
The front panel has two system status lamps. A green ‘Active’ lamp indicates
that the repeater is operating. An amber ‘Warning’ lamp indicates reduced
performance.
