Functional Overview The CSI-DSP85-C/Pand CSI-DSP85I-C/P repeaters 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.

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.
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 commu- nications to local PC and the second to an external modem when provided.
DONOR PORT If a CSI-DSP85-C/P or CSI-DSP85I-C/P 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.

SERVER PORT Server port attenuation may also be necessary, particularly where a powered DAS is present. The selection guidelines below apply to both server and donor ports. In order to properly measure uplink signal strength, a signal generator should be used. If a signal generator is not available, placing a test call while under the server antenna with the least path loss to the repeater should provide reasonable data.
Wall Mounting the Digital Repeater The following diagram illustrates 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. ITEM # PART # DESCRIPTION...

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 over a LAN the user types the IP address of the repeater into the browser address line to...

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.

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.

Remote Network: If the repeater includes a 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 additional information on configuring the modem.

Reboot: If a reboot of the repeater becomes necessary click on the Reboot option in the navigation box and the Reboot page is displayed. Note: a reboot will take 3-5 minutes to complete. Log Configuration: The Log Configuration page provides the user with the means to change three aspects of how log files are created and stored as shown below.
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.

Select the Serial radio button and press OK as shown below. System Status Screen Single Band 7-22-09a 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.
Page 28
TMI main menu will appear. Note: by default the Set Parameters option is disabled. To re-enable the user will press 1 and will be prompted for a username and pass- word. The default user name is csi and the password is csi1234. The actions displayed are self-explanatory.

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.
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.

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 Text Menu Interface. This manual has already discussed many of the options available, those as well as the options not covered are self explanatory, so they will not be repeated in the Modem Interface section.

Right click on Local Area Connection - and select “Properties”. Scroll down and highlight “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.
Page 34
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. If your laptop is on battery power, the Ethernet port may be inactive by default.
