PDR8000 is supported using Futurecom's service/configuration software known as the
Futurecom Repeater Configurator (FRC). This PC-based software application allows a
technician to configure PDR8000 for different uses and provides diagnostic capabilities such as
technician-viewable reports and logs.
Configuration aspects of the Futurecom Repeater Configurator (FRC) include setup of the
various frequencies, access codes, timing values, and other operational parameters associated
with PDR8000. See the PDR8000 Programming Guide for detailed information regarding
configuration of the product.
Service aspects of the Futurecom Repeater Configurator (FRC) include the ability to monitor
real-time aspects of PDR8000's operation on a PC screen. This is done by connecting a PC
running the Futurecom Repeater Configurator (FRC) to the PDR8000's USB programming port
during operation. The Futurecom Repeater Configurator's Monitoring Window can then be used
to observe many operational aspects of the product, including aspects of the RF and wireline
input/output signals. The Futurecom Repeater Configurator's service functions can also be used
to initiate various coverage tests by controlling PDR8000's ability to transmit various carrier,
tone, or test patterns (see 6.11.1).
The Futurecom Repeater Configurator (FRC) software package is supported on Windows 10.

In order to provide a very high-level visual indication of the PDR8000's status and health, a set
of LED indicators is provided. One set of LEDs is inside the PDR8000 suitcase's open lid, or
the Rackmount PDR8000's front panel, and the other indicator is on the PDR8000 suitcase's
side panel (adjacent to the external cable connections). The state of the LEDs (off, on, blinking
slow, blinking fast) indicates the current state of the function being represented.
