Local Status Monitor/Controller Installation/Operation Manual PN XXXXXXXXXX Section 3 – Product Overview 3a. Wireless SoftLink The Wireless SoftLink, WSL, operates in conjunction with Craft and controls LSMC via an RS232 connection. The WSL software enables technicians to address amplifiers with a local status monitor/local status monitor controller via the Craft software . The WSL can be loaded in any personal computer, or laptop. It must have Craft version 2.0 or higher version software installed to operate properly with the LSM and LSMC. ADC maintains helpdesk technical support to assist with any Craft or Wireless SoftLink software installation or operation issue. You will find complete LSM/LSMC installation/operation instructions in Section 4 of this manual. 3b. Local Status Monitor Controller (LSMC) The Local Status Monitor Controller, LSMC, is a wireless communication module connected to a laptop. The main purpose for the LSMC is to become a two-way wireless link between a ground located laptop and the ADC family of Network Amplifiers or Line Extender. The LSMC will allow Craft software to control the network amplifier through a wireless connection. Technicians can operate the LSMC in a vehicle or attach the LSMC to the belt with a clip attached to the LSMC case. For optimal performance the LSMC should remain relatively stationary during use to prevent any interruption or disconnection of the wireless link with the LSM. 3c. Local Status Monitor (LSM) The Local Status Monitor is an upgrade kit that can be installed in an amplifier. The LSM works in conjunction with the LSM controller as a wireless link to receive commands from a laptop. Once LSM receives command, it will send commands to the ADC family of network amplifier or Line Extender. The LSM will function properly with Craft version 2.0 or higher version software. The LSM will allow the operator to monitor and adjust the operating status of the RF amplifier without opening the housing. The Local Status Monitor receives the seeking transmission from the LSMC and responds to the LSMC 1) to confirm a proper connection and 2) to establish correspondence with the WSL. Once the LSM has established the connection with Craft, the technician can perform remotely Craft functions with the amplifier. The LSM/LSMC enables the technician to save valuable time and energy, and avoid hazardous or unpleasant weather conditions. 3d. Craft Software For questions regarding Craft software please refer to the Craft Software Installation/Operation Manual. \\Adcvs4\vol2\COMMON\00Sawyer\LSM Manual 4-21-00.doc Created on 04/21/00 10:34 AM Page 4 of 6

Local Status Monitor/Controller Installation/Operation Manual PN XXXXXXXXXX Section 4 – Hardware Installation CAUTION In order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, this device must be installed in such a way as to ensure that a minimum separation distance of 20 cm is always maintained between the antenna and all persons. a. Network Amplifier Note: ADC designed the Network Amplifier tray to be reversible. If further instructions are required for reverse installation, see application note. The Network Amplifier cover, tightened correctly, will provide an air tight internal amplifier chamber. To preserve optimal amplifier operating conditions, carefully and exactly follow this manual’s instructions for removing and fastening the Network Amplifier housing cover. S TEP 1 Retainer clips Verify that the replacement kit includes all the necessary Antenna components. All the following should be included in the installation Housing cover kit: Interface Cable LSM circuit board Housing bolts Figure 4-1 S TEP 2 Locate the six 5/16-18” bolts holding the housing cover to the base. Loosen all six bolts with a 1/2” wrench. Be sure to follow the pattern numbers in the diagram at the right for loosening the bolts. The bolts are spring- loaded and will pop up when loosened. Do not attempt to remove bolts. They are fixed to the lid. The numbers in Figure 4-2 indicate the pattern for installing the replacement amplifier lid. Reverse the pattern for removing the lid from the amplifier. The numbers are engraved onto the lid.

Local Status Monitor/Controller Installation/Operation Manual PN XXXXXXXXXX S TEP 3 Locate the two retainer clips on the Network Amplifier’s hinge posts . Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry the clips from each hinge post. S TEP 4 Figure 4-3 Carefully remove the Network Amplifier housing cover and set aside. S TEP 5 Verify that all components on the replacement kit lid are installed properly and in the correct position. Figure 4-4 illustrates an installed LSM kit. The Local Status Monitor circuit board with antenna should be installed in the housing cover. When the LSM unit is installed, the interface cable will attach through the RF tray cover to the connector in the Network Amplifier tray. Figure 4-4 CAUTION: The LSM unit antenna is attached to the LSM printed wiring board, or PWB, through the housing cover. Any attempt to remove the antenna or reposition or remove the LSM unit could cause serious damage to the function of the Network Amplifier. Under no circumstances should any technician attempt to make adjustments or changes to the LSM unit in its installed Figure 4-5 position. S TEP 6 Remove the RF tray cover using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the eight RF tray cover screws (nine if reverse amplifier is installed) until there is approximately 1/8 in. (about 3mm) clearance Figure 4-7 between the bottom of the screw head and the surface of the RF tray cover. Slide the RF tray cover until the screw heads are aligned in their keyway slots and lift RF tray cover off the tray. Figure 4-6 Figure 4-8 Then unsnap the connector from the amplifier tray. Note: Do not shortcut the installation process by removing only the screw near the cable insertion slot on the RF tray cover. Note: The keyway feature allows the RF tray cover to be removed without fully removing the RF tray cover screws, preventing loss of the screws. \\Adcvs4\vol2\COMMON\00Sawyer\LSM Manual 4-21-00.doc Created on 04/21/00 10:34 AM Page 6 of 6

Do not secure the cover with the retainer clips during this step. Figure 4-9 S TEP 8 Locate the connector slot in the amplifier tray where you will install the interface cable. See Figure 4-10. Figure 4-10 S TEP 9 Carefully insert the interface cable into the connector. The cable and connector are keyed, so they will only fit together in the correct position. Make sure the cable is folded. Firmly fit the interface cable into the amplifier. See Figure 4-11. Do not force the insertion. Figure 4-11 S TEP 10 Replace the amplifier RF tray cover by passing the tray cover screws back through the keyway slots, sliding the cover until the screw heads are over the narrowest part of the keyway slots. Refer to Figure 4-12. Tighten the RF tray cover screws with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver. Figure 4-12 S TEP 11 Remove any excess moisture or debris from the interior of the Network Amplifier and the Network Amplifier tray. If any moisture has accumulated during the installation process, use a clean, dry cotton cloth to wipe off the housing unit and tray. Although this unit is extremely tolerant of a variety of environmental conditions, you can enhance the service life of the amplifier by insuring that it is clean and free of any moisture before closing. S TEP 12 Close the housing lid and align it squarely with the housing base. Thread all six housing lid bolts finger-tight to hold the lid in place. Make sure the lid bolts do not cross thread. The numbered pattern for installing the housing is engraved on the housing cover. Figure 4-13 \\Adcvs4\vol2\COMMON\00Sawyer\LSM Manual 4-21-00.doc Created on 04/21/00 10:34 AM Page 7 of 6
