FCC ID: NVRCS12-553-401 Bidirectional Repeater

 

CS12-553-401 User Manual Important Safety Information Antennas used for the purpose of radiating signals indoors are limited to a maximum gain of 3 dBi. The outdoor antenna used for the purpose of communicating to the wireless infrastructure is limited to 3dBi gain, or any combination of gain and loss that equates to 3dB at input. Each antenna must be positioned to observe minimum separation requirements from all users and bystanders. The following guidelines should be used when considering separation distances. INDOOR antennas must be placed such that, under normal conditions, personnel cannot come within 20 cm (~8.0 in.) from any inside antenna. Adhering to this minimum separation will ensure that the employee or bystander cannot exceed RF exposures beyond the maximum permissible limit as defined by section 1.1310 i.e. limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure. OUTDOOR antenna must be positioned such that, under normal conditions, personnel cannot approach closer than 120 cm. (~4 ft.). A non- directional antenna having a maximum gain of 3 dBi is used, precautions should be taken to prevent personnel from routinely passing closer than specified.

Hardware Operations Section 3 Test Point Locations and Values The CSI repeater, CS12-553-401, by design, has no external test points. The Power and Filter modules are sealed with no user serviceable parts inside. The CBC/FAN Module had no user serviceable parts, if fans are observed to fail the module can be sent back to CSI for evaluation. Testing and configuration is done exclusively by interfacing the repeater with a laptop or desktop computer and using the Web based GUI or the TMI. Both user interfaces will provide a complete status of the repeater. In most cases if all other components of the system prove to be working properly and the repeater is not, the user will need to return the unit to CSI for inspection and repair. See the Warranty and Repair Procedures in Section 3 of this manual. If the covers for the Power and or Filter modules are removed by the user the warranty will be void and the cost of any needed repair will be the responsibility of the user. Indicator Lights This repeater was designed with only two external indicator lights. Both are approximately 3/4 diameter LEDs. Located on the Filter Module face plate, between the COM and POWER IN ports, the first LED labeled POWER/FAULT glows red as the repeater is powered up. When the unit completes all of its bootup procedures the LED will change color and glow green to indicate the system is operating normally. If the LED remains red its an indication of a problem and the user will need 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 OUT connector ports. This light is designed only to show that the unit has DC current and will glow green when the unit is powered. Troubleshooting All 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 Web based 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 user should contact CSI Technical Support @ 1.877.844.4274. CSI will remotely access the repeater and advise the respondent of next step(s).

Section 4 Software Operations 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 in DHCP server mode and by default the IP address will be 192.168.1.100. *

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. When connection is made the user will be prompted for a user name and password. For the purpose of the GUI session, the default user name is webuser and the password is csi1234. This can also be changed as required. Internet access is not required to use the GUI. (Note:

If you are connecting using a laptop, verify that your Ethernet port is powered. Some laptops will not allow Ethernet connection when on battery power. If this is the case with the laptop you are using you will need to plug it in or update the power settings.)

*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 DHCP server replies with configuration information that the requester uses to join the network. In the case of this repeater, the unit is configured to act as a DHCP server by default. This means that a computer configured to make a DHCP request on joining a network (most laptops are set up this way) will automatically receive a configuration from the repeater when it is connected to it via the local network port. This connection is made with either a crossover cable or an Ethernet switch or hub. One word of caution: The repeater, if it joins a network already managed by another DHCP server, may cause disruptions in that network. To avoid any such problems, reconfigure the unit for static or DHCP client mode before connecting it to such a network. (The local networking config page in the web interface, and the menu interface, can be used to achieve this.) General Operation Overview

(3) Networking Configuration The Networking Configuration menu contains three configuration menus. The Local Network Configuration provides access to the network connection that is made to the system via the Ethernet port located on the front panel of the unit. The Remote Network Configuration is used to configure the wireless modem(s) that are attached to the USB port of the SBC (single board computer) that controls the unit. The SNMP Configuration option is not used or supported in this version of product.

Networking Configuration

(1) Local Network Configuration The Local Networking Configuration menu allows the user to configure the Ethernet port to operate in one of three modes once enabled. If the unit is configured to have a static IP address, then the user must know what the characteristics of the network are that the unit will be connected to. In DHCP client mode, the unit will broadcast a request for an IP address from a properly configured DHCP server on the network. In DHCP server mode (default) the unit will assign itself an IP address of 192.168.1.100 and it will also listen for DHCP IP address requests. If the user connects a device (laptop) directly to the Ethernet port (cabling requirements may differ) the unit will issue an IP address of 192.168.1.90. The unit is currently capable of issuing one client address. This is done to limit cataclysmic events should the unit be connected to a network that already has a DHCP server. CAUTION: Network reconfiguration may cause local and remote access interruptions.
