Local Communication Interface Ports To allow monitoring and control, the repeater is equipped with four ports that provide external communication access (1 Ethernet CAT-5, 2 DB-9 serial, and 1 USB). The Ethernet, CAT-5 port is provided as a primary communications port to the PC. One serial interface provides communications to local PC and the second to an external modem when provided. The USB interface provides a means to download files from a memory device and may also be used by an external modem.
System Set-Up Considerations All cables should be checked for shorts and opens. Also verify that there are no cables with loose or poor connections. RF leakage could cause oscillation to occur under some conditions. The rooftop antenna (Donor Antenna), if directional, should be checked for proper alignment along the calculated compass heading. Typically, the directional antenna would be aimed at the same site that your handset uses, but it may not always be so.
Attenuator Selection Guidelines: Accurate attenuator values need to be chosen to ensure that the maximum total power (higher of Composite or InBand Input) applied to the donor and server port(s) does not exceed the following thresholds: Input Signal Max Gain Input Signal Max Gain <-45 dBm 85 dB -32.2 dBm 69 dB -44.3 dBm 84 dB -31.4 dBm 68 dB -43.6 dBm 83 dB -30.6 dBm 67 dB -42.9 dBm 82 dB -29.8 dBm 66 dB -42.2 dBm 81 dB -29 dBm 65 dB -41.5 dBm 80 dB -28.2 dBm 64 dB -40.6 dBm 79 dB -27.4 dBm 63 dB -39.
Mounting the Digital Repeater The following diagrams illustrates the methods for mounting the repeater(s) in a typical wall or rack installation. Brackets are provided for both options. Note: Dual and single band modules are shown for illustration purposes. Rack mount of the repeaters requires just two brackets mounted to the front corners of each module. Note: the CSI digital repeaters must be supported in the rack system with a shelf or slide rail.

Web based GUI Session Primary access to the repeater is gained using a LAN connection and a web browser program such as Firefox by Mozilla, or Internet Explorer from Microsoft. The repeater ships with the default IP address of 192.168.1.100, but it can be changed later if required. If connecting directly to the repeater from a laptop or PC with a crossover CAT-5E cable or over a LAN the user types the IP address of the repeater into the browser address line to connect.
Local Network: If the user selects Local Network from the System Status page, the following screen is displayed and from here network configuration can be modified as required. The default is set to Static. Check with your IT department for explanation and approval of the DHCP and DHCP Server options you plan to use before you select them. *NOTE: In units with software version 2.2.4 or prior, only letters, numbers and underscores are acceptable nomenclature. In units with software version 2.3.
RF Configuration: If the user would like to modify RF configuration click on the words RF Configuration in the navigation box and the screen below is displayed. To change gain settings the user will select the Uplink only or Uplink and Downlink radio buttons. The user then inputs the gain value desired. Gain values from 53.5 dB to 85.0 dB may be selected. The repeater will not allow the user to set values outside this range. By pressing the Change Settings button the gain change is implemented.
Remote Network: If the repeater includes a USB modem kit, click on Remote Network in the navigation box and the screen below is displayed. Highlight the carrier on whose network the repeater and modem will be configured and click the Change Settings button. Refer to the documentation included with the modem kit for addtional information on configuring the modem. If the repeater is connected to an ethernet device for remote access and/or monitoring, this feature must be disabled.
System Health: By clicking System Health the current state of the repeater can be reviewed. *** **** ***The user may clear LED indicator, alarms and the Event Log by clicking the Clear Log button. **** If required in your market, visit the “System Health” screen and click on “Trigger Test Alarm” and wait for confirmation that the Wireless Service Provider representative that is responsible for monitoring the repeater has been notified of the alarm.
Reboot: Alarm Configuration: The Alarm Configuration page allows the user to specify what events will trigger an alarm. *NOTE: Letters, numbers & hyphens are the only acceptable nomenclature for the Location field and hyphens may not be used as the first or last character. If a reboot of the repeater becomes necessary click on the Reboot option in the navigation box and the Reboot page is displayed.
Log Configuration: The Log Configuration page provides the user with the means to modify three aspects of how log files are created and stored as shown below. Change Password: By clicking on the Change Password link the user is brought to the Change Password page. From here he or she can quickly and easily reset the password for the unit. A word of warning here, be careful when setting the new password. If you forget what you set your password to you’ll need to contact CSI at 1-877-844-4274 for assistance.
Text Menu Interface (Local Access) Local access to the repeater TMI, also known as the console interface, is made by connecting a serial cable (optional), as shown in figure 1, from the serial connector of the laptop to either of the serial ports on the bottom end panel of the repeater. These connectors are labeled COM 1 and COM 2. In some cases, if the gender of the connector is not the same as shown in figure 1, a null modem adapter (optional) as shown in figure 2 may also be required.
Select the Serial radio button and press OK as shown below. Note: It may be necessary, in the System Properties section of the control panel; using Device Manager to determine what COM port your computer uses for the communications port. In this case it is COM 1. This is not to be confused with the serial port on the repeater labeled COM 1. Pressing “OK” will open up a blank dialog screen. Go to the setup dropdown menu and select Serial port to make changes to the serial port setup.
After completing the serial port changes (pressing the enter key will be required to complete the action) the user will be prompted for a user name and password. The default user name is “user”. The default password “csi1234”. After entering the password and pressing enter the TMI main menu will appear. Note: by default the Set Parameters option is disabled. To reenable the user will press 1 and will be prompted for a username and password. The default user name is csi and the password is csi1234.
Each “Set Parameter” selection, when chosen will be expanded to allow changing or setting of that parameter. For example from the Link Configuration menu on the previous page, selecting 1 - Adjust Gain will display the menu shown below. After selecting option 1, downlink, the current user gain is displayed and the option to change it is accomplished by typing the desired gain at the prompt. The user is then returned to the previous menu.
All the other options operate in much the same way. Some of the options will offer the user additional selections and will be self-explanatory. Below is one example of these additional options, the one shown below is the result of selecting (3) Filter Programming. Note: Graceful session termination is important. Use Disconnect under the file dropdown menu to terminate a session, otherwise the port may become disabled and force the system to be rebooted.
Pressing the “OK” button will bring the user to the following screen, which will require the user to log in. The default user name is “user”. In the field after the prompt type the user name. The default password is “csi1234”. After typing the password press the enter key and the main menu will be displayed as shown next.
Telnet and serial sessions both provide access to the same Text Menu Interface. We have already shown many of the options available and all are self explanatory, so they will not be repeated. Modem Interface (Remote Access with login) A modem can also be used to gain remote access to the unit provided the repeater has been properly equipped. A selection of modems is available as an option.
Additional Tips Instructions to change TCP/IP settings on your Windows computer. Click in the Network Connections Icon in the Control Panel. See below. Right click on Local Area Connection - and select “Properties”. Scroll down to “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on the “Properties” button.
If you are set up to use DHCP, the window shown below will be displayed. Select “Use the following IP address:” and enter “192.168.1.2.” The subnet mask should automatically populate to “255.255.255.0”. Nothing else will need to be chosen or entered. Click “OK”, then “OK again and retry connection. A crossover Ethernet cable (supplied) must be used for Web Interface access. As a reminder, you must verify the Ethernet port on your laptop is powered.
Suggested Spectrum Analyzer Setting: When troubleshooting RF issues, and when surveying challenging RF environments, it’s important to have a spectrum analyzer capable of measuring the frequency that you are working with. An attenuator should be used to protect the input, when connected to a source of RF power such as the repeater or a powered DAS. Both Uplink and Downlink should be measured.
