Abstract
In one embodiment, a distributed antenna system comprises: a master unit configured to receive a base station downlink radio frequency signal and to transmit a base station uplink radio frequency signal; and at least one remote antenna unit that is communicatively coupled to the master unit using at least one cable, the remote antenna unit configured to radiate a remote downlink radio frequency signal and to receive a remote uplink radio frequency signal; wherein the master unit comprises: a controller; and a respective interface to couple the controller to a first operator control panel; wherein the at least one remote antenna unit comprises: a controller; and a respective interface to couple the controller to a second operator control panel; wherein the master unit controller and the remote unit controller synchronize at least some information between the first and second operator control panels over the at least one cable.
