-12-Section 3Hardware OperationsTest Point Locations and ValuesIndicator LightsThe CSI repeater, CS12-555-400, by design, has no external test points. The Power and Filter modules aresealed with no user serviceable parts inside. The Ethernet/FAN Module had no user serviceable parts, iffans are observed to fail the module can be sent back to CSI for evaluation. Testing and configuration isdone exclusively by interfacing the repeater with a laptop or desktop computer and using the Web basedGUI or the TMI. Both user interfaces will provide a complete status of the repeater. In most cases if allother components of the system prove to be working properly and the repeater is not, the user will needto return the unit to CSI for inspection and repair. See the Warranty and Repair Procedures in Section 3 ofthis manual.If the covers for the Power and or Filter modules are removed by the user the warranty will be void andthe cost of any needed repair will be the responsibility of the user.This repeater was designed with only two external indicator lights. Both are approximately 3/4”diameter LEDs. The first is located on the Filter Module face plate, between the COM and POWER INports, and is labeled POWER/FAULT. This LED glows red as the repeater is powered up. When the unitcompletes all of it’s bootup procedures the LED will change color and glow green to indicate thesystem is operating normally. If the LED remains red it’s an indication of a problem and the user willneed to check the system status using the Web based GUI or the TMI.The second LED is located on the faceplate of the Power Module, between the DC IN and POWER OUTconnector ports. This light is designed only to show that the unit has DC current and will glow greenwhen the unit is powered.TroubleshootingAll cables should be checked for shorts and opens.The rooftop antenna (Donor Antenna), should be checked for damage.The DAS antennas should be checked for damage.If cables and antennas are acceptable and the problem persists, check repeater status using the Webbased GUI or the TMI. See Alarm/Action Matrix on the next page.Should the repeater fail, or if service is lost and the cause can not be determined from the steps above, the usershould contact CSI Technical Support @ 1.877.844.4274. CSI will remotely access the repeater and advise therespondent of next step(s).

-19 -Software OperationsSection 4General Operation OverviewWeb based GUI SessionPrimary access to the repeater is gained using a LAN connection and a web browser program such as Firefox byMozilla, or Internet Explorer from Microsoft. The repeater ships by default with a DHCP static IP address 192.168.1.101. *If connecting directly to the repeater from a laptop or PC with a crossover CAT-5E cable or over a LAN the user types theIP address of the repeater into the browser address line to connect. When connection is made the user will be promptedfor a user name and password. For the purpose of the GUI session, the default user name is webuser and the pass-word is csi1234. This can also be changed as required. Internet access is not required to use the GUI. (Note: If you areconnecting using a laptop, verify that your Ethernet port is powered. Some laptops will not allow Ethernet connectionwhen on battery power. If this is the case with the laptop you are using you will need to plug it in or update the powersettings.)*DHCP is a protocol that allows computers on a network to be automatically configured appropriately for that network.Networks provide DHCP service by maintaining one or more servers that listen for special broadcasts on the network,called DHCP requests. These requests are made by computers when they first join a particular network. The DHCPserver replies with configuration information that the requester uses to join the network.In the case of this repeater, the unit is configured to with a static address by default. This means it will not request orissue DHCP address and is unlike the PCS verion which is configures as a DHCP Server. This means that a computerconfigured to make a DHCP request on joining a network (most laptops are set up this way) will automatically receive aconfiguration from the PCS repeater when it is connected to it via the local network port. This connection is made witheither a crossover cable or an Ethernet switch or hub.

- 33 -Software Operations Section 4General Operation Overview 1. The “Link Configuration” menu is a collection of menuoptions that control the RF operating characteristics of thesystem.2. The “Alarm Configuration” menu provides options thatcontrol the alarm operating characteristics of the repeater.3. The “Networking Configuration” menu contains fourconfiguration menus. The “Local Network Configuration”provides access to the network connection that is made tothe system via the Ethernet port located on the front panel ofthe unit. The “Remote Network Configuration” is used toconfigure the wireless modem(s). The “Network ProtocolConfiguration” allows access protocols to be toggled on oroff. The “SNMP Configuration” option is not used or supportedin this version of product.4. “Log File Configuration” menu. The system is capableof storing its log files persistently on a periodic basis so thatpost mortem analysis can take place. The log files will beplaced in the “/log” directory on the compact flash. Theservice personnel can then use off the shelf applications toextract the information to their laptop for review. This menuallows the user to define aspect of the log file such asrotation period, size and number of logs retained.5. The “GPS Configuration” menu controls the operationalstate of the GPS receiver. The system is designed to runwith a GPS emulator connected to COM3 (internal) for use sa test/debug mode. Additional menu items can be used toassist in the diagnosis of GPS related issues.6. “Scan Receiver Confiuration” menu. The scanreceiver hardware is used to monitor the power levels of aset of frequencies for a given filter set. If the scannedpower level is above the maximum threshold value, the taskwill de-key the unit until such a condition no longer exists.
- 34 -Software Operations Section 4General Operation Overview1. The “Adjust Gain” option allows the user tocontrol the total gain of the system. Valid gainsettings range from 55 dB to 85 dB. If the userselects to configure the downlink gain, the uplinkgain will automatically be set to the same value. Inorder to override this condition, the user will haveto select the uplink option and adjust the gain to thedesired value.3. “Filter Programming” allows the user toselect and program one of the loaded filters onthe system. Please note that as with option 2, theGPS task needs to be disabled otherwise thefilter selection will be overridden by the currentlocation of the system.2.“Select Active filter” can be used to togglebetween the filters loaded for test Purposes. Pleasenote that in order for this to work properly, the GPStask needs to be disabled otherwise the filterselection will be overridden by the current locationof the system.4. The “PA Output Control” menu selectionallows the user to control the state of the poweramplifier, ON or OFF. The setting overrides allother PA control tasks and is persistent acrossreboots. Care must be taken to insure the user isaware of the state of this setting so as toeliminate false keyed/de-keyed states.5. “PA Oscillation Control” enables the user totoggle the oscillation control feature off and on.When enabled this feature detects oscillations andadds attenuation until the oscillations aresuppressed.
- 35 -Software Operations Section 4General Operation Overview1. “Alarm Masking” provides the user an ability tomask or unmask individual alarms based on the knownoperating characteristics of the environment that theunit is place in. Certain alarms will occur that do notdirectly affect the proper operation of the system andcan therefore be masked. All alarms are still registeredwith the system regardless of the alarm state, usernotification only takes placed on unmasked alarms.2. The “Alarm Notification” option provides theuser the ability to configure the system to externallynotify service personnel of alarm events.3. The “Watchdog Timer Configuration”selection configures a hardware based watchdogtimer. Once enable, the software will periodicallywrite to the watchdog timer thus preventing anunscheduled reboot. Certain alarms can beconfigured to inhibit this periodic write which in turnwill reboot the system when they occur.
- 36 -Software Operations Section 41. The “Local Networking Configuration” menu allowsthe user to configure the Ethernet port to operate in one ofthree modes once enabled. If the unit is configured to have astatic IP address, then the user must know what thecharacteristics of the network are that the unit will beconnected to. In DHCP client mode, the unit will broadcast arequest for an IP address from a properly configured DHCPserver on the network. In DHCP server mode the unit willassign itself an IP address of 192.168.1.100 and it will alsolisten for DHCP IP address requests. If the user connects adevice (laptop) directly to the Ethernet port (cablingrequirements may differ) the unit will issue an IP address of192.168.1.90. The unit is currently capable of issuing oneclient address. This is done to limit cataclysmic eventsshould the unit be connected to a network that already has aDHCP server.2. The menu for “Remote Networking Configuration”provides the user with a method to configure the modemconnected to the internal USB port of the SBC. This version ofsoftware is preconfigured to enable the default modem typeinstalled in the unit and no user selection is necessary.4. The “SNMP Configuration” menu is not supported forthis revision of the product.3. The “Network Protocol Configuration” menu is used totoggle off and on each of the available protocols.
- 37 -Software Operations Section 4The system is capable of storing its log files persistently ona periodic basis so that post mortem analysis can takeplace. The log files will be placed in the “/log” directory onthe compact flash. The service personnel can then use offthe shelf applications to extract the information to theirlaptop for review. This set of menus allows the user todefine aspects of the log files such as rotation period, sizeand number of logs retained. With each selection theminimum and maximum allowable value as well as thecurrent value is displayed.
- 38 -Software Operations Section 4The GPS sub-system is an integral part of the control ofthe DSP based system. During normal operating mode,the GPS receiver controls the selection of filters and thekey state of the unit. The unit must first receive a validGPS string from the satellites before the unit will performproperly. The following menu allows the user to examineand configure the GPS operating parameters of the unit.The GPS mode menu controls the operational state of theGPS receiver. The system is designed to run with a GPSemulator connected to COM3 (internal) for use s a test/debug mode. Additional menu items can be used to assistin the diagnosis of GPS related issues.
- 39 -Software Operations Section 4The scan receiver hardware is used to monitor thepower levels of a set of frequencies for a given filterset. If the scanned power level is above the maximumthreshold value, the task will de-key the unit until sucha condition no longer exists. This set of menus allowsthe user to define behavior of the scan receiver. Witheach selection the minimum and maximum allowablevalue as well as the current value is displayed.
- 40 -Software Operations Section 4The “Get Parameters” menu is available to all users inorder to view system status information and diagnosealarm information.1. The “Link Status” option displays the current stateof the system parameters. Information on this page isused to diagnose the health of the system.2.

When option 5 is selected thesystem will shut down and remain powered off until the power is toggled back on.
- 42 -Software Operations Section 4Software Behavior Under Normal ConditionsThe repeater’s operating software has two modes, an Operational mode and a Maintenance mode. These aredescribed below.Operational Mode:Upon power up, the System will begin operation in the Operational Mode. Using a “Band Switching Algorithm” the repeaterwill not key until a GPS position fix is obtained and the unit is within an Area Definition.Once GPS position fix is obtain the repeater will begin operation based on the Area Definitions “Channel PowerMeasurement and Keying Decision” and “Low Isolation Detection and Protection” algorithms. The operational softwarewill continuously monitor the system’s environment and make the necessary adjustments to keep the product operatingwith specifications and within the normal operating range of the Product and FCC Type Certification.System StatusThe Operating Software provides real time status data that reports the state of the repeater. This status contains:Timestamp Modem Band Type Satellite CountSystem Up Time Active Filer NoBox CountSoftware Version In-band input Searching CountSystem Serial Number Measured Output Scan RX Run StateModel Number Composite Input DeKey LimitItem Number AGC Mode Scan RX Filter IDLocation AGC Attenuation # of ChannelsModem Signal Strength GPS RunState 1 -10 Channel Freq’s & SSIModem Registration Status LatitudeModem Phone Number Longitude RF Alarms: System Alarms:Modem Current Band Filter ID Over Range Synthesizer LockModem System ID Filter Name Oscillation VoltageModem Network ID Location VSWR TemperatureModem Temperature BTA Out of Band Overdrive SoftwareLow Signal HardwareNo SignalCurrently System events are stored to a Log File. In future releases, with the exception of the System Serial Numberand System Identifier, The Real Time Status of the Product will be saved to nonvolatile memory for retrieval. Thenonvolatile memory will be able to store 48 hours of Status data, with up to 6 complete status records per minute. Theinterval that the status records are saved will be user defined.The Operating Software will also record to nonvolatile memory and make available to a user in the Maintenance Mode:- A count and time stamp each time the processor is booted.- A count and time stamp of each time the operating software is placed into the Maintenance Mode, and the User IDof the operator that performed the action.- A count and time stamp each time the Watchdog Timer is activated, and the associated debugging informationavailable at the time of activation of the Watchdog Timer.- The count and time stamp of any activation of the “Low Isolation Detection and Protection Algorithm” as defined inattachment C of this document. AlarmsThe Operating Software has the ability to monitor a System for conditions that are out of normal operation, triggeringan alarm event. The Operating software in conjunction with the Communications Subsystem is capable of sendingalarm messages via E-mail using standard SMTP and POP3 protocols to a User Provisioned e-mail account.Each Alarm defined has these User Provisioned Capabilities.:-Disable the System: The Operating software can disable the System (prohibit Keying) until the alarmcondition is cleared.-Alarm Filter Conditions: A Filter Condition (such as X number of occurrences per hour) to the alarm toprevent false or un-useful notifications if provisioned.-Send an Alarm Message: The Operating Software can send a notification via message E-mail through theCommunications Subsystem if provisioned.-Alarm Clear Message: The Operating Software can send an alarm clear message when an alarmcondition clears if provisioned.
- 43 -Software Operations Section 4Software Behavior Under Normal ConditionsMaintenance Mode:The repeater has, in addition to it’s normal “Operational Mode” a “Maintenance Mode”. After system boot up this mode canbe accessed in the TMI only by typing the user name and password of service.This mode of operation provides all the same menus and features as shown in the software overview onprevious pages except that upon entering the Maintenance Mode, the product will de-key and await instructionsfrom a connected user. During the Maintenance Mode of operation the Operating Software supports:- Manual operation of the Key/De-Key function.- Manual operation of the Area Definition Switching function.- Manual Setting of the gain setting in both the Uplink and Downlink Directions- Retrieval of all current User Provisioned Settings from the Product- Retrieval of the Current Version of software in the Product- Setting of all User Provisioned Settings- Retrieval of logged Status data- Retrieval of boot counts, Maintenance Mode entry counts, Watch Dog timer events with debugging data, andLow Isolation Detection and Protection events.- The Ability to Disable and Enable the System.- A Method to automatically place the System back into operation upon the discontinuance of the Maintenancesession.- A Method to automatically place the stem back into operation after a User Provisioned time limit of inactivity inthe Maintenance Mode.- Ability to load Operating Software into the repeater’s processor.- Ability to perform a “soft” reset of the processor.
