5. Click the Connect button in order to establish a connection between the unit
and the application.
6. Provision the system according to the following section.
CONFIGURING THE BOOSTER PARAMETERS
The booster parameters are displayed with default values, however these can be
modified according to site requirements. The following configurable booster
parameters are displayed in the 700 and 800 band windows:
• Max Power
• Max Gain
• Low and high RSSI threshold levels
• Output Power Threshold
To configure the signal booster parameters
In the 700 and 800 band windows, define the configurable parameters (listed above)
according to site requirements and click the Send Parameters button at the bottom
of the window. The status of this operation is shown in the
Status
bar.
Note: The modified parameter values will appear in red until the Send Parameters button
is clicked. After the parameters have been sent and written on to the DMSB unit, the
values are shown in black.
The measured values of the unit are displayed in the RSSI, System Gain, Digital Gain
and Measured Output Power columns. These are read-only parameters.

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.

Note: Only one family of filters can be defined for the selected channels in each
group. Note that when a family is defined, all the channels (6) in the group are
assigned the same family automatically.
The filter type parameters include the following:
• Filter family
• Rejection
• Bandwidth
• Delay
4. Click the Show button to view a graphic display of the selected filter.
5. Verify the RSSI threshold levels. Modify if necessary according to site
requirements.

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
