The Rack Mount Repeater - DMR 400 Series is a medium power repeater for 19” rack mounting. It is developed for use in moving environments like trains and ships but can also be used in fixed multiband and multi operator indoor coverage solutions. The DMR Repeater consists of a 19’’ Rack chassis, one or more Radio Frequency Unit (RFU)s, and a Power Supply Unit (PSU). Standalone repeater applications can also be modified and used in the fiber DAS systems where base stations are not available for signal feeding to the system. In such cases DMR repeater is modified and equipped with a Fiber optical interface (FOI) inside the chassis. DMR Operational Description DeltaNode DMR 400 repeater series is a medium power radio repeater used in 19 inch rack mounted applications. The extremely light weight, convection fan cooled chassis secures the high quality performance in almost any environment. DMR400 repeater can operate in the stand alone applications as well in the fiber fed DAS systems where the repeaters are used for off air feeding of the DAS network where Base stations are not available. DMR400 Repeater unit series exists in a number of frequencies and system depended variants and rackmount chassis consists of following parts: • • • • Power supply Unit (PSU) Internal Duplex Filters (DPX) filtering Uplink and Downlink frequencies and necessary RF combiners depending on the Remote Unit configuration.

DMR Power Supply Unit ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL 5 DMR Repeater Commissioning After the successful mounting installation and powering of the DMR Repeater, user can now start commissioning the Repeater unit. Accessing the DMR Repeater units is through the Remote Station Gateway (RGW). Login and access information such as username and passwords are provided separately by DeltaNode application engineers. 5.1 Commissioning using Remote Gateway (RGW) DeltaNode DMR Repeater units are equipped with an RGW. The RGW is basically a PC/server used for handling multiple units, alarm management, remote access, commissioning and configurations. Follow the steps below to set up the repeater network. RGW uses a secure protocol and its IP is by factory default set to use 192.168.0.2 IP address. After configuring the PC to use the static IP, open the Web browser and enter the following: https://192.168.0.2 Log into the RGW with the username and password provided by DeltaNode application engineering. When logged in, navigate to the configuration menu and put the managed repeater unit into the DNS of the RGW. See pictures below for reference. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 10 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL When in configuration menu, click on the DLR/DMR/DHR- xxx option. Move the managed DLR/DMR/DHR unit from NOT USED window to DLR/DMR/DHR- xxx in the system window and press Submit. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 10 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL Now the managed Repeater unit has been added to the RGW DNS. Navigate to the Network views menu and log into the managed repeater unit by clicking on it. See picture below for reference. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 11 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL When logged into the managed repeater, the user can now begin with commissioning of the managed repeater unit. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 12 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL 5.2 Repeater commissioning locally 5.2.1 Login Log into the RGW with the username and password provided by DeltaNode application engineering. 5.2.2 Home page When logged into the repeater, home page is displayed, showing the factory default name of the repeater, which is basically a unique MAC ID of the actual repeater, article and serial number, RF state (OFF/ON), and the current output power of the repeater. On the left hand side are the different configuration menu´s. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 13 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL 5.2.3 RF Config RF Config menu contains configuration fields for setting the Gain, ALC level, frequency band and the bandwidth of the actual DMR Repeater unit. Gain and ALC level can be set for Downlink and Uplink separately. The resolution in setting is adjustable by the 0, 1 dB. As mentioned the DMR Repeater unit has the adjustable bandwidth. User can set the Downlink start and stop frequency path. The uplink path uses a fix duplex distance. The threshold for the Automatic Level Control (ALC) is set in dBm for downlink and uplink respectively. The ALC feature controls the gain of the repeater so that the output power never ends up in exceeding the actual set level of the output power. When changing any parameters a submit button must be pressed in order to send the data to the repeater. Get button reads current set parameters. If a different parameter (other than the specified validation range) is entered and submitted, an Error message will be displayed on the right hand side of the configuration fields. Error message will even show the valid range of the actual parameter. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 14 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL 5.2.4 Advanced RF Config Advanced mode in RF config menu gives user a possibility to control and fine tune the frequency band edges, set up link symmetry, and self-oscillation protection. Band edges control gives user a possibility to fine tune the set band width with 0-100 kHz up or down of the actual set frequency band. Link symmetry is a function that is mainly developed for usage in moving application setups, like intrain, boats for example. What is does basically is that UL gain is controlled by the DL gain. When this feature is activated, the repeater will reduce the gain in UL as in DL with the same symmetrical pattern. The UL gain is determined by the actual automatically controlled gain used in DL. The originally set gain difference between Uplink and Downlink is kept as originally set. Link symmetry feature is used to minimize the amount of Noise level to the BTS and is developed mainly for moving applications as mentioned above such as trains, boats for example when/if the signal from the BTS fluctuates. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 15 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL Self-oscillation protection is a function for detection of eventual issues/problems related to the Antenna isolation between Service and Donor Antenna´s. In case of low isolation between the two antennas (Service & Donor) the repeater will begin to self-oscillate in the usual manner, but however self-oscillation protection in this case will immediately intervene and lower the gain to a safe level equal to the isolation minus the stability margin. There are separate settings for UL and DL respectively; • ON/OFF • Stability margin. The value set of how much lower the gain should be than the calculated isolation in case of issues with the isolation between the antennas. Range of this value is from 0.0 – 20 dB. • Recovery time. This is the time limit before the repeater tries to reset the gain to the originally actual set gain in RF config. Range for the recovery time is between 30 – 86400 seconds. • Recovery margin. Set value of gain level above the actual set gain (specified in RF config) that is used when the repeater recovers after the Recovery time. Range is between 0.0 – 20.0 dB. 5.2.5 RF Status Generally this menu gives a current status overview for both of the links in the repeater. Start and stop frequency of both UL and DL are displayed in the firs field as seen in above screen shot. Set gain is gain value defined and set by the user. Max gain is the parameter that ALC and other algorithms, such as the link symmetry feature and antenna oscillation detection, defines/sets is the current maximum gain of the repeater. For example, if the antenna oscillation detection algorithm detects antenna isolation issues, Max gain will be automatically be reduced to a new calculated value. The operation is performed as Antenna isolation minus set stability margin, which in that case is lower than the set gain.Gain field reflects the actual gain value set by the user. If by any chance antenna isolation is an issue while commissioning for example, the field for antenna isolation will display a certain value measured in dB, and the alarm will be generated. Gain will be automatically reduced with a certain margin in respect to the Antenna isolation. For example, if displayed Antenna isolation value is >90dB, then there should be no problem. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 16 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL Automatic Level Control (ALC) threshold are also displayed and shown in tenths of a dBm. If the set gain differs from the Max gain for example, this a sign that the ALC is active. Output power field is displaying RMS power of the repeater measured at the antenna port. Different modulation waveforms might have a slight impact on the measured value at the antenna port. User has a possibility also to set up a periodic mode. The window will collect and update the data displayed every two seconds. 5.2.6 Software Software menu displays the actual application SW version, fallback application, boot loader version, serial and article numbers, dates of manufacturing of the unit and its board units used in the actual repeater product. When logged in Extended user mode, there are allowed possibilities for Software upgrades, changing of current application versions, and Reboot option. All actions such as SW upgrades and application version swap require a command Set which must be followed by a reboot of the repeater in order for the changes to properly apply. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 17 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL 5.2.7 Notepad Notepad menu is basically a small scratch pad for text. It is stored in a non-volatile memory. It is meant to be used as a feature to enter notes about the installation, repeater unit, commissioning etc. Maximum allowed character number is 255. 5.2.8 Access In Access menu, user has the possibility to define other passwords for the 2 different level accesses, Extended and Normal. When using the Extended level access, there a number of extra parameters and features displayed and allowance for change. Extended level can be explained as administrator access level, while the Normal access level can be defined as a light version access level. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 18 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL 5.2.9 Communication Communication menu contains a number of settings the user has a possibility to define the communication with the repeater. Ethernet IP addresses, MAC ID are displayed. User has three options for the IP configuration settings. • • • Static- IP address that is manually defined by the user. Default- IP address is set to the factory default address, 192.168.0.202 Automatic. IP address is provided by a DHCP server. This option is used only when the Remote Gateway (RGW) is optionally used in the actual repeater. User has a possibility to change the hostname and the Unit ID of the repeater. Unit ID is the name of the repeater seen in the web interface. This change must be manually set which follows by a reboot command in order for the change to take place. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 19 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL 5.2.10 Alarms Alarm log clearly displays all alarm events in the repeater. The log itself is located in volatile memory and is cleared every time the repeater is restarted/ rebooted. There are three levels of severity defined in the repeater. • • • Warning Error Critical All alarms can be forwarded to external alarm receiver. In order to forward the alarms from the repeater, syslog UDP port 514 must be used and the correct IP address of external receiver must be defined. This change as every other mentioned in previous chapters must be manually Set and the repeater must be rebooted in order for the changes to apply. The receiver IP address might be changed automatically by the DHCP server if a Remote Gateway (RGW) is used. In the alarm menu is also a feature called advanced alarm config, where user has the possibility define the alarm power levels of UL and DL respectively, and the time out function for these. Further on the user has possibility to define the ALC gain reduction thresholds. In case of where external alarm relay is used in combination with the repeater the user has the possibility to define own descriptions of External alarms generated by the repeater. User can even generate the Test Alarm in order to test either External Alarm functionality or alarm forwarding feature. There are even some cosmetic possibilities like LED intensity and LED style available for user to change if required. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 20 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 21 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL 5.2.11 Hardware Hardware menu contains internal hardware test points like different driver and synth voltages, temperatures, etc. This menu is mainly helpful for the advanced users when troubleshooting for example. 5.2.12 Advanced The Advanced menu displays DAC (Bit) hardware values. It is not of much interest for the normal use. As Hardware menu described above, this is mainly used for the troubleshooting and reference for the advanced users developers and RMA personnel. ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 22 Revision 16-02 DELTANODE DMR USER MANUAL ©DeltaNode Solutions 2016 23 Revision 16-02
