This chapter introduces the MCPS2000 Series of Multi Carrier Power Amplifier
(MCPA) Systems. It describes structure of this manual and introduces the different
MCPS2000 Series amplifiers.

This Manual describes how to install, operate, and maintain the MCPS2000 series of
amplifiers.  It is arranged in chapters.

Chapter 1, Introduction, introduces the systems in the MCPS2000 family and their
main features and describes how the system documentation is organized.

Chapter 2, Installation and Operation, describes how to install the MCPS2000
amplifier and place the amplifer in service.

Chapter 3, Troubleshooting, describes how to diagnose faults using the indicator
LEDs and status/alarm messages.

Chapter 4, Field Service Procedures, describes how to perform routine maintenance
and install new field-replaceable modules in the MCPS2000 amplifier.

The Specifications Appendix details the electrical, mechanical, and environmental
specifications met by this MCPS2000 amplifier, including the Connector Pinouts and
Interface Protocols used in the front panel diagnostic port and the optional base
station alarm and control interfaces.

The MCPS2000 is a modular, ultra-linear cellular-frequency amplifier system
providing up to 350 Watts (total) of output power. Designed for maximum flexibility
and reliability, the MCPS2000 can increase the range or capacity of both new and
existing base stations.

The MCPS2000 can amplify any number of signal carriers using AMPS, CDPD, IS-
136 TDMA, or IS-95 CDMA modulation up to the maximum rated system output
power.
