    Functional Overview The CSI-DSP85 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.
  • Page 9: Local Communication Interface Ports

    LEDs on the front panel will light and go out several times. When boot is complete and no alarm conditions exist, none of the LED indicators will be illuminated. The CSI logo is illuminated when ever the repeater is powered. One or more bars on the LED bargraph may also be lit, depending on the strength of the signal being received from the donor site.
  • Page 10: Monitoring & Alarms

    In these cases it may not be practical to use the CSI-DSP85-PSS8 for providing coverage to these sites. Selection of external attenuators to be used in line with the Antenna Port(s)
  • Page 11: Donor Port

    DONOR PORT If a CSI-DSP85 is installed in an area with very strong desired and/or undesired signals, it is important to ensure that the overall signal levels are optimized to be within the best operating range of the repeater. Additionally, de-sensing of a nearby base station site must be avoided. These goals can be accomplished by properly attenuating the antenna port(s) in the path of the donor antenna(s).

    Wall Mounting the CSI-DSP85N, Digital Repeater (Weather Resistant Model) The following diagram illustrates the best method for mounting the repeater to a wall in an typical installation. Note: for optimal cooling the unit should be mounted vertically on a wall with the antenna ports down.
  • Page 14: Dry Contact Terminal

    Dry Contact Terminal This CSI Digital Repeater is equipped with an automatic amplifier safety shutdown circuit that will disable the transmitter, to prevent excessive intermodulation and oscillation, should the uplink or downlink overloads be reached. The amplifier will periodically attempt to recover from this condition.
  • Page 15: Circuit Operational Description

    Important Installation Notes • Inadequate isolation between the outside and inside antennas may cause regenerative feedback in the system. This feedback can cause the amplifier to emit a continuous signal at maximum amplitude and, in some cases, interfere with normal operation of the dispatch site.
