Exploring radio base station configurations

A combining/distribution unit of a base station in a telecommunication network, comprising:

• a filtering circuit for receiving and retrieving an incoming radio configuration information signal generated by a preceding device in a radio signal path, the filtering circuit for at least substantially removing any radio frequency components signals transmitted over a first, shared interface to retrieve the radio configuration information signal;
• an integrated circuit for decoding the incoming radio configuration information signal received from the filtering circuit and generating an updated radio configuration information signal, the updated radio configuration information signal including radio configuration information data relating to said combining/distribution unit, wherein the integrated circuit is further for routing the updated radio configuration information signal in accordance with an internal radio signal path of the combining/distribution unit;
• and
• a signal generator for transmitting the updated radio configuration information signal over a second interface.
