14 RF Status For users to configure the repeater RF parameters: PA ON/OFF: Turn on or off the power amplifiers. Attenuation: Set UL/DL PA (power amplifier) attenuation or UL/DL LNA (low noise amplifier) attenuation. To balance uplink and downlink, both uplink and downlink attenuations should be adjusted proportionally at the same time. If possible, recommend only set DL LNA attenuation and UL PA attenuation to ensure good noise figure in uplink and prevent downlink front-end from saturation. Always have your system design engineer approve the configuration. Power Threshold and AGC Enable: Power Threshold is used to specify the maximum uplink and downlink output powers. In case output power exceeds the specified threshold, the built-in AGC (Automatic Gain Control) function will adjust system gain automatically so that output power is limited to the specified threshold. Use ICS Enable to turn on or off the selfoscillation control function. Input overload threshold: Input overload Threshold is used to specify the maximum downlink input power. If the input power exceeds the specified threshold, the repeater will shut down. Page 13 of 23

Alarm Enable Many repeater functions can be monitored through turn on the alarm functions. Users can choose the ones that need to be monitored from this menu. If an alarm is disabled, it won t send message* in case of failure. Recommend use the default factory settings. Note *The repeater can send alarm message only if corresponding NMS server software is installed on server. Messaging function and NMS server software are not included in standard product. Please contact sales@excelwavetechnologies.com if such kind of function is needed. Page 14 of 23

16 Channels To turn on or off each channel. Note: Only need to set downlink frequencies, uplink frequencies are automatically calculated. In MODE A, use CH1 Start to set the downlink start frequency, and CH1 End to set the downlink stop frequency, use CH SW to turn on or off this mode. IN MODE B and MODE C, use DL Start and DL End to set channel downlink start and end frequency and CH SW turn on or off correspondingly. Page 15 of 23
