1.1 Hardware Description

1.1.1 Configurations
With this product, one BTS comprises up to six units of two TRX, in a
hierarchical interconnection.
Only one of these units handles the Abis lines; this unit called the master,
the other units called slaves.
A unit can have one antenna output (3.2 W/TRX max. power) or two
antenna outputs (7 W/TRX max. power).
One lower slave cannot be equipped because of 12 TRX limitation!
In the following exemples the Slave 22 is eliminated, but depending on site
configuration, you can have maximum 3 lower slave units on the 4 possible
positions: Slave11, Slave12, Slave 21, Slave 22.
