3.3 REPEATER FEATURES
3.3.1 Controller
The integrated Controller Module (Control Box) has three main functions:
1.
2.
3.
•
•
Detects faults in the repeater and issues an alarm indication.
Controls the active components in the Repeater and enables the main
parameters setting :
 Max Power
 RF Gain,
 Power On/Off,
 AGC On/Off
 SALC On/Off
Monitors key operating functions:
 DC supply voltage
 Downlink output power
 Heatsink temperature.
Two modes of monitoring and control are available:
External PC - through the serial interface connector in the Control Box.
Remote control - via a modem connected to the Control Box serial interface.
A standard or cellular modem can be installed inside the Repeater enclosure,
refer to Appendix D.
The Repeater’s Alarm, Control and Monitor functions are performed by Dekolink’s
RMT software. For more information, see the RMT User's Guide.
The Controller transmits in two modes: Polling and Burst. When operating in Burst
Alarm mode, the Controller generates a burst alarm and reports the faults to the local
or remote connection. The Controller software handles the alarm reporting and
parameters transmission to the Repeater’s outside world.
3.4 SMART-ALC FUNCTION
3.4.1 SALC Description
The Smart Automatic Level Control (Smart-ALC) is an innovative solution for
automatic repeater gain adjustment. Combined with advanced control algorithms,
SALC can perform gradual learning of traffic load characteristics and adjust the
Repeater RF Gain to the desired value.
This automatic operation practically removes the need to make initial settings for
maximal traffic load conditions and eliminates the need for numerous site visits to
take care of Gain adjustment.
SALC also reduces isolation problems and maintains Uplink/Downlink balance.
