8.1.2. SYSTEM SETUP on MICROCELL UNIT CONTROLLER
Setting up the Microcell unit is done in one of two ways, Manual setup or Auto setup.
A. Manual Setup
During the initial startup of the Microcell the very first menu prompt to be encountered is
the setup menu. By pressing the UP or Down key you can either select the manual or the
auto setup. After choosing the correct setup method simply press the MENU key to
continue with setup. During Manual setup the following parameters are necessary to set:
Time; Date; System Format; RF Channels; Load. To access the menus containing the
settings other than Time/Date, press the Menu key. Next to scroll through the settings
press the Item key. Pressing the menu key will only take you back to the TIME/DATE
menu. To EXIT the System Setup menus, press Item key until the prompt “Current
Settings?”, select yes and press the Menu key. The controller will then wait for up to one
minute for a network update. If the hub is not yet installed the unit will proceed to
normal operating status. If a connection is made, and the required input power from the
base station is present, the unit will prompt the user to set up local gain. At that time the
user can enter the desired DL Pwr Out. NOTE: If the gain is not set then, or in the user
menus, it must be set at the Hub end.
B. Auto Setup
By simply choosing the Auto setup option the EkoCel Remote waits for the Hub to send
current network settings and proceeds to set up itself accordingly. This does not mean
that the user has no other responsibilities.
C. General Notes on the Controller
Remember to RESET ALL ALARMS before finishing all operations with the unit.
To EXIT From ANY point simply press the DEL key.

3. USER SETTINGS on MICROCELL UNIT CONTROLLER
A. Accessing User Menus
To access the user menus, first the ADD key must be pressed. Due to background
functions operating sometimes you may have to hold the ADD key for nearly a second.
The result will be the Password Entry Screen. In order to proceed to other menus a valid
password must be entered. The controllers are delivered with a set of factory passwords.
The factory passwords can be altered by using the supervisor password only. Once the
desired password is entered press the MENU key to proceed or the DEL key to return to
normal functioning. Units are set with initial default Technician 4 password of 10000
and the password comes up as 10000 on the display each time. The following are preset
passwords: Supervisor - 21314, Tech 1 - 11311, Tech 2 - 11312, Tech 3 - 11313,
Tech 4 - 1000
B. Readings / Controls
From the Microcell (remote) location, gain is adjusted by pressing the up and down
arrows and using the field key to change the digit to be edited. DL# Pwr Cntrl: is the
label for the gain control of the PA. All changes made here are NOT in real time. Once
the desired value is displayed, that menu screen MUST be changed, (by pressing the
MENU key), in order for the change to take effect. The controller will then display a
“PLEASE WAIT” message while it sets the PA power to give the desired selected output
of dB power. Depending on the amount the change, the controller process time may take
up to 10 minutes and may give the appearance of locking up. To change the Hub Gain
control, press the Item Key to access that menu item.
UL Gain dB:
is the label for the
Hub Gain control. Once there, to change the gain, simply use the Field Key to select the
digit and the UP and DOWN keys to alter the values. Once the desired value is
