mBSC DAS System Installation Manual Issue 3 2 INTRODUCTION This document provides the installation procedures for the BTI DAS system consisting of the DAS Host Unit, Remote Unit equipment and the Network Management System (NMS). It also provides for the initial configuration set-up, operation procedures and the software upgrade installation process for the Network Management System.
mBSC DAS System Installation Manual Issue 3 The Remote Units may consist of combinations of 700MHz, 850MHz, 1900MHz and 2100MHz frequencies and are available in either a 20 Watt or 40 Watt output configuration. Each RU is designed to support a Single Frequency Band. For multi-frequency use, the system can be configured as multiple Master/Slave Remote Units. Each Master Unit can support a maximum of two slave RUs with a maximum of three RUs supported per fiber connection.
