USER'S GUIDE FOR BASIC INSTALLATION OF MRX18
1. Important
The electrical installation must be performed in accordance with the safety regulations
of the local authorities. The repeater must not be opened. The antennas of the repeater
have to be installed in a way that meets regional and national RF exposure compliance
requirements.
Attention: Observe that SMA connectors have a specified torque of max. 45 Nm. Do not over-
tighten the connectors or screws. The miniRepeater is only intended for indoor
usage.

By default, the MRx18 is delivered with P
P = +19 dBm) and Autogain enabled.

Depending on application/network, the maximum output power stated in the datasheet must not
be exceeded in order to meet the respective standards. The value for maximum output power
can be changed via webpage.
Note: Local access to the settings for the repeater is optimized for Mozilla Firefox.
Note: As the new PCBs of the MRx18 single band are
only supported by SW V3.3.0, a downgrade to a prior
SW version must NOT be done (as indicated by the
corresponding label on the unit) After a downgrade, the
unit will no longer function properly and installing a SW
version ≥V3.3.0 will be required.
2. Quick-Start Checklist
 Mount the repeater to a wall.
 Install antennas (donor and coverage antenna).
 Provide the repeater with power. Use only the power supply (PSU) delivered with the unit.
Do not modify the PSU and cable. Do not mount the PSU to the ceiling.
Connect the DC connector of the power supply and provide mains to the power supply. For
correct insertion, the DC connection provides a keyed DC connector (at the PSU cable) and
a notched DC connector (at the repeater). For secure operation, the PSU DC connector
provides a locking sleeve that has to be pulled for opening the connection.

 Use a laptop or PC to connect to the repeater via Ethernet (Ethernet connector next to
coverage antenna SMA connector; use a straight CAT6 patch cable) and adjust amplified
frequencies in tab Settings – Radio Frequency. For login enter URL: http://192.168.1.1,
Username: MRx18, Password: MRx18 (case-sensitive).
 After (!) the boot process (boot process: Red ALC LED is blinking for four seconds), press
the "Reset and installation assistance" button (see next page) for at least ten seconds. This
will set the gain to max. value and disable Autogain for about four minutes. The status LED
will be blinking red/green. Align the donor antenna towards the BTS/Node B tower to reach
the RSSI level that enables optimized performance. Check the RSSI level at the display.
After four minutes, the gain and Autogain are adjusted to the values prior to the activation
of the antenna alignment.
