This interface will support data transfer rates up to 12 Mbps. Ethernet The Ethernet AUI conforms to IEEE 802.3 and is capable of supporting 10/100 Mbps communications speeds. Monitoring & Alarms There are no physical connections provided to specifically communicate system status or alarm status.
Wall Mounting the CSI-DSP85-CP, “Frequency Agile Repeater” The following diagram illustrats the best method for mounting the repeater to a wall in a typical installation. Note: for optimal cooling the unit should be mounted vertically on a wall with the antenna ports up.
Optional Accessories A complete line of accessories is available from Cellular Specialties, Inc. Check with your CSI distributor for any addtional items needed. Below are just a few examples suitable for most inbuilding needs. •Outside Donor Antenna PCS - model number CSI-AY/1.85-1.99/10 Cellular - model number: CSI-AY/806-960/14 •Inside Omnidirectional Antenna PCS - model number (CSI-AS/1.85-1.99/2) Tri-band - model number (CSI-AO/800/2.
Important Safety Information Antennas used for the purpose of radiating signals indoors are limited to a maximum gain of 3 dBi. The outdoor antenna used for the purpose of communicating to the wireless infrastructure is limited to 14dBi gain, or any combination of gain and loss that equates to 14dB at input. Each antenna must be positioned to observe minimum separation requirements from all users and bystanders. The following guidelines should be used when considering separation distances.

Web based GUI Session Primary access to the repeater can is gained thru 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 as required and in the following examples we will be using an address of 192.168.1.41.
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 before you seletct them. After any changes are made press the refresh button to review the fields and assure the change made is correct.
From here the user may return to the System Status screen or click on the other options. If the user would like to modify RF configuration click on the words RF Configuration in the brown navigation box and the screen below is displayed. The user 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. If a new filter set is required, the new filter may be selected from the “Program a Filter page” below.
The user may select the desired filter from the dropdown menu. Pressing the Program button will complete the selection and load the desired filter. Note: the time required to complete this process will take just a few moments. Note: If the filter desired is not currently in the list, additional filters along with instructions on how to load them are available by contacting CSI.
Highlight the carrier for whom you want to configure the modem for and click the Change Settings button. Note: the system will require restart for the change to take effect. By clicking System Health the current state of the CSI-DSP85-CP can be reviewed.
Clicking Diagnostics will bring up the page shown below. The Diagnostics page will show additional data not found on the System Status page. If a reboot of the repeater becomes necessary click on the Reboot option in the brown navigation box and the Reboot page is displayed. To end the session exit the browser, the user will be automatically logged out.
Command Line Interface (Local Access) Local access to the CSI-DSP85-CP CLI, also known as the console interface, is made by connecting a serial cable, as shown in figure 1, from the serial connector of the laptop to ether of the serial ports on the bottom end panel of the FAR. These connectors are labled COM 1 and COM 2. In some cases, if the gender of the connector is not the same as shown, a null modem adapter as shown in figure 2 may also be required.
Many terminal emulation programs will work if properly configured. In the following description, “TeraTerm” is used to establish the CLI session. This program is readily available via the Internet and is free from Ayera Technologies at: http://www.ayera.com/teraterm/ TeraTerm Pro Web works on Windows 95/98, 2000, XP. Here is the latest TeraTerm Pro Web release: Version 3.1.3, October 8, 2002. ttpro313.zip When the program is started, the following screen is displayed.
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. Configure the terminal program for the correct COM port, in this case COM 1 and 115200 baud rate as shown below.
After completing the serial port changes, the user will be prompted for a user name and password. In dual band units each band is changed independently and requires an independent login. To make changes to the cellular band, the default user name is “cellband”. The password for both bands is “csi1234”. The user name for changing the PCS band is “pcsband”. After entering the password and pressing return the CLI main menu will appear. The actions displayed are self-explanatory.
Each “Set Parameter” selection, when chosen will be expanded to allow changing or setting of that parameter. 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, this one for filter selection. 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. In dual band units, each band is changed independently and requires an independent login. To make changes to the cellular band the default user name is “cellband”. The default user name for changing the PCS band is “pcsband”. In the field after the prompt “DSP85-PCS-X login;” type the user name for the band to be changed. The default password is “csi1234” for both bands.
Telnet and serial sessions both provide access to the same CLI interface. We have already shown many of the options available with the Set Parameters selection, so next you will find examples of the screens and options available when Get Parameters and System Commands are chosen.
Selection of Link Status will provide useful information about the current repeater status and performance. Below is an example of the status screen. Selection of the System Events option will bring up the following set of sub-options.
The System Information selection will display the following screen. 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. If the modem requires a SIM card for activation, it must be added to the repeater before site installation and operation. Special requirements must be met for the SIM card to become fully functional, contact the service provider.
