III.INTRODUCTION
Section A.
System Description
This system (D.U.T.) is a VHF Narrowband Signal Booster to operate within
range 150-174MHz for Land Mobile radio FCC Part 90.

Figure 1 – VHF Narrowband Signal Booster Basic Block Diagram
The system features six or more programmable frequency narrowband filters.
The desired operation frequencies must be configured using built-in Web
Server.
Programmable Individual Rx Threshold level (Squelch) per filter allows
transmission if the probe signal is greater than configured Squelch.
Individual Automatic Gain Control (AGC) per filter delivers constant output
power level per channel (+/- 1 dB) regardless of their input level variations.
The maximum output level per filter can be changed with option “Maximum
Desired Output Level per filter” in Main Settings page from Web Server
(please refer to VHF Narrow band Signal Booster O&M Manual.doc for more
details).

USER’S MANUAL
The built-in Web Server provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to ease in
remote monitoring & control. Access is obtained via a PC’s Web Browser
and a TCP/IP connection to the Unit. The system can be connected directly
to a PC computer or can be plugged into the local area network.
Some pages shown by the Web Server are the following:
“Main Status”: depicts status alarm indicators and meters.
“Main Settings”: is used to configure system-level macro settings.
“Filter Settings” contains the settings that can be configured for each
filter window.
Never operate the system without adequate Load/Termination on the RF Tx
Output. The VHF Narrowband Signal Booster will amplify until 120dB gain any
input stimulus greater than Rx Threshold level (Squelch).
The Web Server allows to Mute/Unmute Power Amplifier in “Main Settings”
page. Make sure the power amplifier is unmuted before start with the test.

USER’S MANUAL
Start - up
Accessing D.U.T. Web Server
The system can be connected to a PC computer using an Ethernet crossover
cable or to LAN using an Ethernet straight cable.
B.1.1 Connect D.U.T to P.C computer using a crossover cable
Figure 4 – D.U.T. connected directly to PC computer.
1. Use an Ethernet crossover cable for connect equipment directly to a
PC computer LAN port (refer to Item #8 in Figure 3).
2. The IP address of the equipment is shown in the LCD display. By default
it is 192.168.100.87 with Network Mask = 255.255.255.0.
o To verify IP address press the Down key in LCD Display and
Keypad assembly until get IP ADDRESS value.
3. Configure the local computer IP address to allow access to the
controller, within the same sub-net.
o Go to “Star >> Control Panel >>Network Settings”.
o Right-Click on the “Local Area Connection” and choose
“Properties”.
o Look for “Internet Protocol” and click “Properties”.
o Select “Use the following IP Address”.

USER’S MANUAL

Configure PC computer IP address as 192.168.100.X (X is a
value between 0-255) with Network Mask = 255.255.255.0.

Default gateway can be same value as IP address.
o Select “Obtain DNS server address automatically”.
4. Open a web browser and access the equipment by typing, in the
address bar, the IP address of the equipment (http://192.168.100.87).
o Login with username = operator, password = operator.
B.1.2 Connect D.U.T to local area network
Figure 5 - D.U.T. connected into local area network.
The following steps are necessary to connect D.UT to LAN:
1. Find out the subnet the PC computer is currently plugged into.
2. Configure D.U.T IP address avoiding conflict with other devices IP
addresses. Use procedure in previous section B.1.1.
Please refer to VHF Narrow band Signal Booster O&M Manual for more
details.

USER’S MANUAL
Using and setting up D.U.T
1. Open a web browser and access the equipment by typing, in the
address bar, the IP address (http://192.168.100.87) assigned to the
equipment.
o Login with username = operator, password = operator.
o The Main Status page will be displayed if connection available.
2. Go to Filter Settings page to configure the desired center frequencies
following filters distribution in Table 3.
Table 3 – Frequency ranges for filters
Frequency Range (MHz)
Low-end: 150-159
Mid-range: 159-167
High-end: 167-174
Assigned Filter Number
1 and 2
3 and 4
5 and 6
For example, the current programmed frequencies are the shown in
Table 4.
Table 4 – Current programmed filter center frequencies
Filter Number
Frequency (MHz)
151.0000
151.1000
163.1000
163.0000
173.9000
174.0000
o Every frequency to be tested must be enabled. Check/uncheck
Tx Enable to enable/disable filters.
o Filters in different frequency range (according to Table 3) must
not be enabled at same time.
o Press “Apply” button to apply changes.
