The DL Output ATT is used to set different output power on different devices.
Example:
DL_TAR at MU = 20dBm per filter
DL Output ATT at MU = 0dB
DL Output ATT at RU01 = 5dB,
Channel Output at MU= 20dBm
Channel Output at RU= 15dBm
The UL_TAR / UL_GAIN can be set differently at each device. However, they should be the same in most
cases. Use Batch Setting to set all devices parameters to the same UL_TAR / UL_GAIN. See section 3.29
for Batch Setting device parameters.
UL Output ATT in MU can be used to reduce the total output power and/or the broadband UL noise floor
which is generated by the UL Power Amplifier of the BDA/MU.
Fiber DAS Power, Gain, Attenuation, and AGC/ALC
The Fiber DAS follows the same rules as described in the BDA section above.
• DL_IN at MU: always indicates the channel power read from DT port, regardless of what the Gain
Limit or ATT settings in the system.
• DL_GAIN at MU: the gain that will be applied to the input.
• The expected DL_OUT at MU/RU can be calculated as: DL_OUT = DL_IN + DL_GAIN
And if DL_OUT > DL_TAR, system will limit DL_OUT = DL_TAR.
The Gain Limit / ATT / Target Output Power will affect the max value for gain and/or DL_TAR that users can
set.
