LABEL DESCRIPTION
Power
This shows the power status of each RU-RF module/slot. Select ON or OFF to turn
that module ON or OFF. The system does this by supplying or cutting power to the
RF module’s slot. It is therefore possible to turn power on even for empty slots.
Band
This shows the frequency band currently used by the RU-RF.
Output Power This shows the current actual output power of this RU-RF module.
Description Enter a description or note related to this RU-RF module.
Buttons

button on the Title Bar to save your changes to the non-volatile memory once
configuration is complete.
Cancel
Click Cancel to lose all changes made after last clicking Apply.
The screen will refresh from the BU's run-time memory.

The Extender Screen
If you have connected one or more Extenders to ZoneDAS, it will show up on the Home
screen (Section 4.2). There you will see all your connected Extenders, alongside all the RUs
that are directly connected to the BU. Click on an Extender to access the Extender Screen.
It allows you to access all the RUs connected to that Extender, and it looks like this:
Figure 28 Home > Extender
The Extender screen looks a lot like the Home screen, as it is basically the same screen. The
difference is that it replaces the BU with the Extender—and the BU’s RUs with the Extender’s
RUs. It also behaves in the same way, so you can access the RU Screen for an RU simply by
clicking on that RU (or the SD port it’s connected to).
In effect, the Extender is a subsidiary BU. From the Extender Screen, you may access the RUs
connected to that Extender—and only those RUs. To go back to the Home screen, where
you will see the BU and other Extenders/RUs, simply click Home from the Navigation Panel.
Note: You cannot connect an Extender to another Extender (cascading Extenders is not
supported).
