AAU/mRRU OPTICAL
The AAU/mRRU has 2 or 4 optical ports depending on the model. By default, optical port 1 is open, while optical port 2 is closed.
• Optical port 1 of the AAU/mRRU is connected to the RAU or the higher-layer CPRI HUB and functions as a slave port with a delay parameter
of T12 for measuring the data of the tested port set to 0.
• Optical port 2 of the AAU/MRRU is connected to the RAU or the lower-layer AAU/mRRU.

Advanced Advance Setting Used for factory debugging, users do not need to configure them unless advised by Helios Engineers. Modifying these parameters may impact performance of the device.
CPRI HUB ETHERNET
The WAN configuration of the AAU/mRRU is generally set to DHCP, and the WAN IP Address is automatically assigned by the RAU.

Note: The network configuration for MQTT/VPN/SNMP/FTP in the HUB are the same as the RAU and does not require manual configuration. It will be
automatically SYNC & validated from the RAU.
SYSTEM UPGRADE
The system can be upgraded using the following methods:

Via Local USB interface: This method is primarily used for software loading in the factory or upgrading the UBOOT software.
Via Local WEB GUI: Upgrade can be performed through the Hardware > Device Operation > Upgrade.

Via OMC: Automatic Batch Upgrade is available through the HELIOS® NETVIEW 2023 Linux-based OMC.
TROUBLESHOOTING – NO RF OUTPUT
Possible Reason Remedy
No AC voltage input Check that the AC mains Power Supply Switch is turned on
Faulty connector Check the cable and connector connection
Over temperature Check the heat radiation and installation location
Input over power Check alarm of the system to identify the fault part
Channel switch off Check that the CH Enable is switch to “Y” in RF > Channel Parameter
Faulty DSP module Contact Helios
Optical link failure Check the configuration of the SFP, and LC Optical link cable.

If problems are not resolved after following the above remedy please contact Helios
customer support.
TROUBLESHOOTING – LOW RF OUTPUT,
POOR RF COVERAGE
Possible Reason Remedy
Low RSSI Check if RAU input power range is between -10 dBm to +10dBm.
VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) fault in the feeder system Check the VSWR of the antenna interface in the DAS
Measure the output power of the AAU/mRRU and contact Helios customer
Module electrical capability changes
support
Base Station signal attenuation or frequency changes Contact BTS operator, re-design and install the entire repeater network or
configure the repeater frequency

If problems are not resolved after following the above remedy please contact Helios
customer support.
