3. Center frequency for the RF channel. ZoneDAS operates on 20 MHz-wide channels.
So if the frequency band is from 2140 to 2160 MHz, simply enter 2150 as the center
frequency.
Once the information is ready, simply enter them into the Web Configurator (the system’s
web-based interface). To do that, click Setting on the Navigation Panel (the blue bar) and
select BU Settings. You will then see the BU Setting screen, as shown below:

The gray bar at the top of the table shows RF-A to RF-D, from left to right. These correspond
to RF modules A, B, C and D. Four identical columns lie below each of these labels, and the
first few rows in each column correspond to the information requested above. Note that
the system has detected the Frequency Band for each channel, so only verification is
required. Simply fill in all the rows for each connected channel, using the information on
hand. The system is also equipped with error detection, so frequency values that do not fall
within the detected Frequency Band will not be accepted as valid input.
The only row not yet mentioned is Green Power Down, which dictates whether a channel
will go into Power-Saving Mode if there is no input signal for a time. The unit is hours, so
simply input how many hours the system should wait before switching the channel to Power-
Saving Mode. To disable Power-Saving Mode, simply enter 0 (factory default).
Once everything has been input correctly, click Apply. For verification, go to the BU screen
and check the RF activity graph for each active RF channel to ensure that signal is as
expected. This will be discussed in the section after next.
2.3.5 Loading a Pre-Set Configuration with a Config File
As mentioned above, if this installation is on behalf of a telecom operator, simply upload
their ready-made Config file onto the BU, using the steps covered in this section here. The
process is very easy. First, click Maintenance on the Navigation Panel (the blue bar) and
select Config File. You will see the Config File screen, which looks like this:
