Forward Path
Signal path in the direction from the BTS to the cell phone.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
HTTP is a is a request/response standard used by the World Wide Web in which the WWW is 
a web site is the server and the end user is the client. The EMS uses HTTP to allow access to a 
Host or Remote through its IP address.
Host Unit
FlexWave Prism network element that receives an RF signal from the BTS and converts it to 
an optical signal to its paired Remotes.
Linear Power Amplifier(LPA)
An electronic module in the Remote. Its job is to provide a large power gain to forward path 
signals.
LNA
Low Noise Amplifier. An electronic module in the Remote. The LNA amplifies the reverse path 
RF signal.
Log File
EMS history file into which alarms are written as they occur. It can be used to review recent 
alarms.
Mask
A software setting placed on an alarm type that causes all alarms of this type to not be reported 
in the EMS. The LEDs for a masked alarm display in gray instead of the standard red, yellow, 
and green.
Normal Mode
One of the operating modes of the DART and LPA. In this mode the equipment is transporting 
RF signals normally.
Radio Frequency
(RF) Radio-type frequency modulation signal received at the BTS and transmitted from the 
Remote to the cell phone.
Reverse Path
Signal path in the direction from the cell phone to the BTS.
Remote Unit
FlexWave Prism network element that receives an optical signal from its paired Host, converts 
the optical signal to RF, and transmits the RF signal to cell phones in a local coverage area.
RF Signal Level
Measured power of the forward path and reverse path RF signals as measured in the 
Host/Remote pair and reported in the EMS.
