The filter set configurations stored in memory determine the unit’s adaptability to various field applications. The following pages describe the PCS band plan as well as the convention CSI uses to identify and store the files that make up the filter set. All DSP85-P, DSP85-C, DSP85I-P and DSP85I-C repeaters are shipped with an active filter set that is programmed according to the ordering parties’...

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

Attenuator Selection Guidelines: Accurate attenuator values need to be chosen to ensure that the maximum total power (higher of Composite or In- Band Input) applied to the donor and server port(s) does not exceed the following thresholds: Input Signal Max Gain Input Signal Max Gain <-55 dBm...
Wall Mounting the Digital Repeater 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 up. IT E M # Q T Y P A R T #...

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 or over a LAN the user types the IP address of the repeater into the browser address line to connect.
Note: The System Status screen above is that of a Cellular model. PCS models will show PCS data. 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.

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 addtional information on configuring the modem.

Select the Serial radio button and press OK as shown below. 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 27
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 password. 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 the PCS band units, the user name is “pcsband”. The user name for the Cellular units is “cellband” In the field after the prompt “DSP85-PCS-X login;” type the user name. The default password is “csi1234”.
A selection of modems is available as an option. If the modem requires a SIM card for activation, special requirements must be met for the SIM card to become fully functional, contact the service provider. In addition, an IP address must be obtained and entered into the CSI- DSP85-P.
Additional Tips Instructions to change TCP/IP settings on your Windows computer. Click in the Network Connections Icon in the Control Panel. See below. Right click on Local Area Connection - and select “Properties”. Scroll down to “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on the “Properties” button. - 33-...

Suggested spectrum analyzer setting: When troubleshooting RF issues, and when surveying challenging RF environ- ments, it’s important to have a spectrum analyzer capable of measuring the frequency that you are working with. An attenuator should be used to protect the input, when connected to a source of RF power such as the repeater or a powered DAS.
