Introduction 
This chapter describes the theory of operation for the GS7000 
GainMaker Scalable 4-Port Node, including functional descriptions of 
each module in the node. 
The GS7000 Node is comprised of two parts, the lid and the base. 
The lid houses an optical interface board (OIB), one to four optical 
receivers, one to four optical transmitters, one digital return module 
with one or two digital transmitters, EDFA (optional), optical switch 
(optional), a status monitor (optional ) or a local control module 
(optional), one or two power supplies, and a fiber management 
tray/track. 
The base houses the RF amplifier module and the accessories that plug 
into it. These accessories include a forward configuration module, two 
or four forward band linear equalizer modules, multiple attenuator 
pads, two node signal director jumper or splitter modules, and two 
auxiliary reverse injection director modules. Also contained within the 
launch amplifier module are a reverse auxiliary 
jumper/amplifier/termination module and a reverse configuration 
module.
