The General Settings box on the right looks and works just like it does in the Home screen. As
such, anything you do there is universal and applies to the entire ZoneDAS system. The
following table describes all the labels on the Extender screen.
Table 11 Extender Screen
STATUS DESCRIPTION
Mount Click the
Mount
button for the Extender to activate this RU connection.
See Section 4.2 The Home Screen for more on Mounting.
The Extender, like the BU, will only remember one device per SD port. Once a new
device has been mounted, the Extender will clear all stored parameters for the
previously connected device.
General Settings
Service
Turn Service on (Green) for the system to provide RF signals to all connected RUs.
The Extender, like the BU, will only send RF signals to mounted RUs. Once you have
mounted all the RUs, click the round Service button to start sending them RF signals.
Auto Mount
Turn
Auto Mount
on (Green) for the system to automatically activate every SD port
connection, system wide. See
Section 4.2 The Home Screen for more on the Auto
Mount feature.
System Calibrate
Click on System Calibrate to optimize system performance. During this process the
system will detect the path loss of all RF pathways and adjust internal parameters
accordingly. ZoneDAS can operate without the benefit of calibration, but
performance will be adversely affected.
Simply turning on Service applies a System Calibration. However, if RUs or Extenders
get unplugged and re-plugged into different ports without turning Service off,
manual calibration is recommended. Choose an appropriate time for this, as
ZoneDAS must go off-line to perform System Calibration.
