NAVIGATING THE DEKO4078SD SIGNAL BOOSTER MANAGEMENT TOOL This chapter describes how to navigate the Deko4078SD signal booster Management Tool application and the available functions. 5.1 ACCESS LEVELS The enabled parameters displayed by the application depend on the access mode: User or Guest. 5.2 MAIN WINDOW The Main window consists of the following tabs: 5.3 • Settings – enables configuring and defining the signal booster and filter parameters in the corresponding tabs. • Alarms – Provides summary view of alarms and alarm log • Measurements – provides a summary of the configured filter parameters and their alarms • Administration – Includes the system information, SW upgrade option, communication parameters and user management option SETTINGS The Settings window consists of three main tabs: General, Filter and Advanced- Installation. 5.3.1 GENERAL The following figure shows the General tab of the Settings window. PRODUCT MANUAL DEKO4078SD MULTI-CHANNEL SIGNAL BOOSTER DEKOLINK WIRELESS LTD. There are four main field areas: • General – consists of the Mute Band option that enables manually muting the supported domains (700DL 800 DL and UL) • Isolation Settings – provides the signal booster isolation parameters for configuration (Isolation and Back Off Isolation) which also determine the Max Gain for all the domains (automatically calculated). • Input Window – displays the boosters high and low sensitivity limits for the sliding window. The high Input window High limit is configurable where as the low limit is adjusted automatically. Note: The attack and release time for the sliding window is determined in the Advanced-Installation tab (see 5.3.2). • Downlink Routing – Includes the Downlink Routing capability options that enable defining the number of filters to be used for each 700 and/or 800 MHz bands.

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. Array of up to 24 configurable channels 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. Page 64 Proprietary Data P/N 300SC30031 Rev. 1.2 PRODUCT MANUAL DEKO4078SD MULTI-CHANNEL SIGNAL BOOSTER DEKOLINK WIRELESS LTD. List of filters 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. 6. Click Send Parameters. P/N 300SC30031 Rev. 1.2 Proprietary Data Page 65 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.
