6.1.2.1 combinerType
This parameter specifies the type of combiner used to connect the cells Base Radios to
the antenna. The options are hybrid and cavity. The MC-Series High-Power system is
similar to a cavity type combiner physically but it does not have the same frequency
limitations as the cavity combiner that this parameter is used for.

6.1.3 Recommended Datafill Parameters
The following parameters need to be set differently than what is currently set with
Motorola BR. These settings are not required but recommended for best operation.
Motorola BR. These settings are not required but recommended for best operation.
6.1.3.1 PCC
The power control constant is broadcast on the BCCH and is used by the MS to calculate
a target value for its transmit power. For Indoor Pico and Micro-Cell applications this
value will vary depending upon the RF environment (i.e., if used outdoors the value will
be quite different from an indoor scenario). For the MC-Series High-Power system, the
setting of this parameter depends on what is connected between the MC-Series High-
Power system and the antenna. The default value should be calculated in accordance
with Motorola guidance detailed in the Datafill Parameter Guide. It should be noted that in
cases in which the Mobile subscribers are near the antenna source (downlink limited), the
handsets could transmit at a much lower level than is the case with a Macro site.
Lowering this parameter forces the mobile to operate at fairly low Tx level thus conserving
battery life. In cases where the MC-Series High-Power system is connected to a DAS, the
gains and losses of the paths should be taken into consideration. Additionally the level of
uplink interference should be considered when determining this value.

Pto (transmit power)
The Cells outbound transmit power referenced at the output of the RF Distribution System
Antenna Port. It is used as a reference point value when computing the link budget of the
system. RFN recommends that the value of this parameter be set appropriate to the TOR
output power, which is determined by the defaultTxPower parameter (see below).

6.1.4 rxTxGain = 0
This parameter is the difference in gain between the receiver and transmit antenna paths
expressed in dB. The MC-Series High-Power system does not use this parameter

6.1.4.1 defaultTxPower
Note: Refer to release notes for range information.
This is the average output power of the PA, measured at the RF connector of the BR. For
the MC-Series High-Power system, this parameter can be used to adjust the output
power of the system. The gain at the shelf is fixed and cannot be altered as was the case
with the 800-only RF Shelf. The MC-Series High-Power system has a different range of
output levels than a standard Motorola EBTS, and as such, these values will map to a
different set of actual Tx output power levels. (The correspondence is shown in Table 16
in section 2.5.8.3 .) The nominal maximum Tx power at the top of the rack with a
maximum variation of ± 2 dB is +29 dBm. The dynamic range is 11 dB.
