1. INTRODUCTION
Up to four technologies in one body: SDR is an over-the-air repeater system that can incorporate up to four (4)
technologies in one body. Current supported technologies are SMR800, SMR900, PCS, BRS, Cellular, 700MHz, and
AWS.
1.1 Highlights
Supports up to 4 frequency bands simultaneously
-Available modules include:
700 MHz- Covers any combination of Lower A, Lower B, and Upper C
AWS- Covers 70 MHz
3 independent RF channels, each channel supports 1.25 to 18.75 MHz bandwidth
BRS- Covers 188 MHz, Instantaneous Bandwidth 30MHz
Cellular- Covers the 25 MHz band
SMR800 (18 MHz) / SMR900 (5 MHz)
PCS- Covers 65 MHz
3 independent RF channels, each channel supports 1.25 to 18.75 MHz bandwidth
Composite Output Power of 24 or 30,33 dBm
30 dB AGC Range @ 0.5 dB Step for SMR
40 dB AGC Range @ 0.5dB Step for 700MHz, AWS, BRS, Cellular, and PCS
Adjustable AGC Output Power Level
Adjustable ALC Level
Band Selectable via Web-GUI
Can Support up to 3 Non-Contiguous Bands on the PCS and AWS modules
Supports Network Management Monitoring System via SNMP
Digital filtering
Incremental Automatic Shutdown/Resumption Time: SDR gradually increases the time span between automatic
shutdown and resumption before it permanently shuts itself down
Versatility and Usability: SDR gives total control to the user. Most of the control parameters, e.g., gain, output
power, alarm threshold, etc. can be changed using the Web-GUI so that the user can adjust the system perfectly
to the given RF environment
Web-GUI connectivity via DHCP
Supports DHCP; No 3rd party GUI software required
Automated installation
Adjustable center frequencies by 1KHz step

1.4 Warnings and Hazards
ANTENNA INSTALLATION Guidance
- Part 27.50
The installation height of the antenna for AWS band (1700/2100 MHz) operations is limited to 10 meters
above ground for compliance with Section 27.50.
Working with the repeater while in operation, may expose the technician to RF
electromagnetic fields that exceed FCC rules for human exposure. Visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety to learn more about the effects of exposure to RF electromagnetic
fields.

FCC Part 20
WARNING. THIS is NOT a CONSUMER device. It is designed for installation by FCC LICENSEES and
QUALIFIED INSTALLERS. You MUST have an FCC LICENSE or express consent of an FCC Licensee to
operate this device. Unauthorized use may result in significant forfeiture penalties, including
penalties in excess of $100,000 for each continuing violation.
Opening or tampering the SDR will void all warranties.
Home/ personal use are prohibited
WARRANTY
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
FCC Part 15 Class A
Opening or tampering the SDR will void all warranties.

<IC Warning statement>
RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2 –(transmitters)
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum
(or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other
users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is
not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionneravec une
antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but
de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention desautres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type
d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotroperayonnée quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l’intensité
nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2 –(detachable antennas)
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II)has been approved
by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required
antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater
than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro de modèle s’il fait
partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne
énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les
types d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste,ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement
interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
RF Radiation Exposure
This equipment complies with RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 30 cm between the radiator and your
body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. RF
exposure will be addressed at time of installation and the use of higher gain antennas require larger separation
distances.
RSS-102 RF Exposure
L’antenne (ou les antennes) doit être installée de façon à maintenir à tout instant une distance minimum de au moins
30 cm entre la source de radiation (l’antenne) et toute personne physique. Cet appareil ne doit pas être installé ou
utilisé en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou émetteur.

2.1.2 Ethernet Port and Host/Remote Switch
2.1.2.1 Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port can be used to communicate directly with the SDR using a RJ-45 crossover cable or can also
be used to connect the SDR to an external modem box.
2.1.2.2 Host/Remote Switch
The Host/Remote Switch allows the user to switch the default Repeater IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway of the
repeater to an alternative setup. These settings can be adjusted by logging into the repeater in HOST mode and
configuring the settings under the Modem Box Setting section on the Install Page (section 5.4.1.3).
Once the settings are set, flipping the switch to the REMOTE position will reboot the repeater with the new
alternate settings. Please note that when the repeater is set to the REMOTE position, DHCP is disabled and the
repeater will not automatically assign an IP address to any device that connects directly to the repeater.

Host IP: 192.168.63.1 (Fixed IP, unable to modify this IP address)
Remote IP: 192.168.63.5 (Default IP, but can be modified in Host mode)

2.1.3 DC Power Port & Debug Port.
DC Power Port- The DC Power Port can be used to provide power to the optional External Modem Box (ADRF
OmniBox, SymBox)
Debug Port- The debug port is used for ADRF testing purposes only.
Figure 5 Debug Port
2.1.4 Communication Port & NMS Power Port
Communication Port- These RJ-45 ports are used to connect the SDR-NMS to the SDR modules using the
included RJ-45 cables.
Figure 6 Communication Port
Note: Each module must be plugged into the corresponding port number on the SDR-NMS in order for the NMS to
properly detect the modules.

2.1.5 NMS Power Port & Power Outlet for Channel Card
NMS-PWN-IN (NMS power input)- The NRS-PWN-IN port is used to power the SDR-NMS. The 2-pin cable
connects to the any one of NMS-PWR-OUT ports on the SDR modules. The NMS power can be used to power
on/off the SDR-NMS.
Power for RF Module- Connect the AC power cables to the SDR modules

2.1.6 Master AC outlet
Connect the Master AC In from the chassis to an AC Outlet.
Figure 8 Main AC Outlet
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
This power of this system shall be supplied through wiring installed in a normal building.
If powered directly from the mains distribution system, it shall be used additional protection, such as
overvoltage protection device.
