Page 64 Proprietary Data P/N 300SC30031 Rev. 1.2 CONFIGURING THE CHANNELS This section describes how to configure the channels for the 700 and 800 bands. The application enables defining up to a total of 24 channels (displayed in groups of 6) for both the 700 and 800 bands. The channel configuration consists of selecting the required channels for each band and defining their filters (the same family of filters must be selected for each group of channels). The available channels and required filters are accessed from the 700 and 800 Window tabs. To configure the required channels 1. Enable the required channels (up to 24 for both bands) in the Filter Enable On/Off column of each of the 700 and 800 band windows. Note: The channels are displayed in groups of six. 2. Determine the Center Frequency Input. The displayed Center Frequency Output will be similar to the displayed input. 3. Click CTRL+ A (to enter Advanced mode) and select the required filter type in the Filter Description Type column. Array of upto 24configurablechannels

NAVIGATING THE SIGNAL BOOSTER MANAGEMENT TOOL This chapter describes how to navigate the DMSB signal booster Management Tool application and the available functions. ACCESS LEVELS The enabled parameters displayed by the application depend on the access mode: User or Advanced. The default access mode is User. While in the User level the functions reserved for Advanced users are disabled (fields are grayed) and are displayed for informational purposes only. The User and Advanced access modes are defined as follows: • User – Default or press CTRL + U (from Advanced mode) • Advanced – Press CTRL + A • Technician – Press CTRL+ T Note: It is specified when the application requires entering the Advanced mode to define a specific parameter. MAIN WINDOW The main window is used for configuring the required channels (up to 24 for both bands). The signal booster identification information is displayed at the top part of the window. The main window consists of the following tabs: • 700DL/800DL or 700/800 UL – Displays the available 700 MHz and 800 MHz band channels for the user to select from in addition to the required filters. Also, displays center frequency (input equals output) and RSSI levels. • Global – Displays the unit information (i.e serial number, SW version, etc.). • Routing – Includes the FPGA Routing for transmitting CW in Test mode. • Setup – N/A - for Dekolink Technicians only.

The 700 and 800 channel tabs display an array of up to 24 available channels (for both bands) for the user to select in addition to the required corresponding filters. The available channels to select from are displayed in groups of six (i.e Ch1- Ch6; Ch7-Ch12). The displayed input center frequency is equal to the displayed output center frequency. The following figure shows the 700DL screen (the 800DL tab is similar). The following table provides a description of the configurable and non-configurable filter parameters displayed in this tab.
