5.5 Install the OMU and Set up OMU-Repeater

System

For information about how to install the OMU which will supply the input signal to the repeater please refer

to the OMU Manual. In the OMU Manual there is also information about how to calculate link budgets for a

whole OMU-Repeater system.

5.6 Configure the Repeater

The following pages will guide you through the configuration of a repeater utilizing the Repeater

Maintenance Console (RMC) software. Configuration of a repeater is made partially on site and partially

remotely through the AEM. At site the RF parameters are set and verified, the repeater is given a name (a tag)

and the remote communication is set and verified. All other configuration can, and should be made from the

AEM.

5.6.1 Set up RF Configuration

Configuration of the repeater amplification can be made locally. If the repeater is connected to an OMU the

configuration can also be made via this OMU. See OMU User’s Manual.

Note! This is an example from a single band repeater. Other repeaters will have similar features.
