). One reciter
and one PA (power amplifier) are needed for each transmit/receive channel.
The PA is not required for a receive-only base station. There is also a front
panel with user controls and fans. The modules are interconnected at the
front of the subrack. External connections to the modules are located at the
rear.

Each module is inserted into the 4U subrack from the front and is secured
at the front with a metal clamp. Both clamp and module are easily removed
for rapid module replacement. The modules are secured laterally with
plastic guides that clip into the top and bottom of the subrack. These guides
can be easily repositioned to change the configuration of a subrack. The
heavier modules are also secured laterally by metal tabs at the rear of the
subrack.
