AXELL MBF-40 AMERICAS REPEATER

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER’S MANUAL

1.5 Operating Temperature

The MBF-40 is designed primarily for multi carrier purposes. If the repeater is run at full

output power over a long period of time, additional, external cooling may be required;

this can take the form of air-conditioning or an external fan assembly.

Specific MBF-40 models, whose power consumption exceeds 400W, are provided with an

additional fan hood cooling assembly.

NOTE: The repeater is equipped with a power management function that steps down the power and,

if needed, fully shuts down the amplifier chains until temperature reaches normal values.

1.6 MBF-40 Management Web GUI

MBF-40 is remotely commissioned and monitored via an OMUII session. Local access to

the unit is not required for commissioning.

Additional configuration and troubleshooting options are available via a direct connection

to the MBF-40 IP address. A direct session can be opened locally or remotely.

NOTE: Direct remote communication requires connecting the MBF-40 to an Ethernet network.
