Installation Instructions
 If setting up a new rack unit, make sure to complete the rack unit setup according to the
Manufacturers’ instructions.
Base Station Installation into the Rack Unit
Receiver and Transmitter Connections
To connect the base station, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Connect the RF coaxial cable to Receiver 1 (RX1) on the back of the base station.
Step 2 Route the cable neatly toward the top of the rack. Allow a little slack in the cable to avoid
accidental disconnection.
Step 3 Connect the RF coaxial cable to Receiver 2 (RX2) on the back of the base station.
Step 4 Route the cable neatly toward the top of the rack. Allow a little slack in the cable to avoid
accidental disconnection.
Step 5 Connect the RF coaxial cable to Receiver 3 (RX3) on the back of the base station.
Step 6 Route the cable neatly toward the top of the rack. Allow a little slack in the cable to avoid
accidental disconnection.
 For clear identification for troubleshooting and/or maintenance activities, avoid crossing the
coaxial cables.
Step 7 Connect the RF coaxial cable to the Transmitter (TX) connection on the back of the base
station.
Step 8 If connecting to a power amplifier (as shown in the figure below), connect the cable from the
base station to the power amplifier via the Transmitter (TX) connection.
If not connecting to a power amplifier, skip to Step 11.
Step 10 If a power amplifier is used, connect an RF coaxial cable to the output port of the power
amplifier.
Step 11 Route the cable neatly toward the top of the rack. Allow a little slack in the cable to avoid
accidental disconnection.
Step 12 To perform the RX1, RX2, RX3, and TX antenna connections, refer to the Typical Antenna
Configuration section in this chapter.
