The BU Screen
Use the BU screen to monitor the BU-RF modules’ status and input power. Click anywhere
on the Home screen’s BU illustration to open the following screen. Alternatively, click on an
RF port to do the same thing and have the bottom graph showing that particular RF port’s
activities.

Right Side Labels
Graph
Click on an RF module name to have the graph below show the input power
curve for the module’s signal source (shown in yellow) and the corresponding
downlink system gain (shown in blue).
Power
Use this to control the ON/OFF status of each BU-RF module. It is possible to
power on a slot without filling it with a module, and vice versa.
Band
This displays the RF signal’s transmission frequency band.
System Gain (UL/DL)
System Gain represents the ZoneDAS system’s overall gain (BU and RU) and is
calculated as follows:
• UL (Uplink) Gain = BU-RF port's output power - RU-RF port's input power.
• DL (Downlink) Gain = RU-RF output power - BU-RF port's input power.
Actual Power
This is the actual measured signal strength for the signal coming into the RF
module.
Description
Enter a description or note related to this RU-RF module or its signal. Often-used
descriptions include the operator name for that signal and the frequency band
for that channel.
