The external antenna typically is directional, such as a “yagi”. Internal antennas are typically omnidirec- tional, although various other types may be used depending on the coverage application. The CSI’s DSP Repeater amplifies both the “uplink”(phone to tower) & “downlink”(tower to phone) signals thus facilitating communications to and from the intended wireless infrastructure.
Functional Overview The CSI-DSP85-C/P repeater incorporates the following features for convenient operation, access, protection, and control. • Network Configuration and Control using either a webpage style GUI through any standard browser or a menu driven user interface using the serial port.

During this time the LEDs on the front panel will light and go out several times. When boot is complete the CSI logo will be lit. Part of the LED bargraph may also be lit,depending on the strength of the signal being received from the donor site.
Local Communication Interface Ports To allow monitoring and control, the CSI-DSP85-CP 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.
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 in- building 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...
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.

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.
Page 21
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.

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. When the CSI-DSP85-CP includes an internal modem requiring provisioning for the service providers network click on Remote Network in the brown navigation box and the screen below is displayed.

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. - 20 -...

Clicking Diagnostics will bring up the page shown below. The Diagnostics page will show addi- tional 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.
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.

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.

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 pass- word for both bands is “csi1234”.

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.
Remote access to the repeater may be gained through a LAN connection and a terminal emula- tion program for TCP/IP. As with the serial connection CSI suggests the use of TeraTerm. In the following description, again, “Teraterm” is used to establish the Telnet session. Also, it will be required that the network configuration of the computer and the repeater being controlled be set up with the same Sub Net and Sub Net Mask in order to establish a link.

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”.

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. - 30 -...
SIM card to become fully functional, contact the service provider. In addition, an IP address must be obtained and entered into the CSI-DSP85-CP. Once the modem has been installed and activated, it can be accessed from any terminal emulation program just as in the serial and Telnet examples provided earlier.
