1. A method for restoring radio coverage to a location when a built-in inbuilding communications system has become inoperative comprising the steps of:
transporting a portable bi-directional amplifier system to a structure having an interface box;
opening a door of said interface box;
disconnecting a first cable from a built-in donor antenna port and a built-in bi-directional amplifier downlink port of said interface box;
disconnecting a second cable from a built-in indoor antenna port and a built-in bi-directional amplifier uplink port of said interface box;
connecting, using a third cable, a downlink port of said portable bi-directional amplifier system to said built-in donor antenna port of said interface box;
connecting, using a fourth cable, an uplink port of said portable bi-directional amplifier system to said built-in indoor antenna port of said interface box, and
powering said portable bi-directional amplifier system.
