Nominal passband gain: 80dB max
Nominal bandwidth: 8MHz maximum for Canada market
Rated mean output power: Up to +37dBm maximum, programmable to +30dBm and +24dBm
Input and Output impedances: 50 ohms
The Manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For
situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by
3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to
adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain
reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.
RF Exposure Statement for ISED: “This device complies with Health Canada’s Safety Code.
The installer of this device shouldensure that RF radiation is not emitted in excess of the
Health Canada’s requirement. Information can be obtained at http://www.hcsc.gc.ca/ewhsemt/pubs/radiation/radio_guide-lignes_direct/index-eng.php”

Product Description
The DH7S Signal Booster Series are dual band channel selective Public Safety 700 and Public
Safety 800 Dual Band Digital Signal Booster that operates in the PS700 and PS800 bands.
Each band has separate filtering modules, so no interference can be produced between the two
systems.
Each band has a separate To Base RF Port, so each band can have its own directional antenna. In
the case the PS700 and PS800 donor Base Stations are located in the same donor site, a
conventional splitter/combiner can be used to feed both systems with one same donor antenna.
The connectors and LED panel in the cabinet are labelled as Band I and Band II, in this case, Band
I is PS700 and Band II is PS800.
BAND I PS700
BAND II PS800
Each band has a separate intermediate filtering. The intermediate filtering is done using FPGA
based Digital Signal Processing that, among many, has the following features:
High Selectivity vs Low Delay
AGC per channel and per time slot
Squelch per channel and per time slot
Integrated Spectrum Analyzer
This Signal Booster is capable of handling 30 filters in uplink PS700, 30 filters in downlink PS700,
32 filters in uplink PS800 and 32 filters in downlink PS800, making a total count of 124 filters. The
center frequency and BW of each one of the filters can be tuned via a software interface.
This Digital Signal Booster is intended to be used in P25Ph1, P25Ph2, TETRA, DMR, Mototrbo and
Conventional radio systems.
This Digital Signal Booster has a heavy duty IP67/NEMA4X cabinet for outdoor usage, it is

F. Once the Signal Booster is connected to the power source, it takes about 40
seconds to run a booting routine. After that time, the Signal Booster is ready to be
connected via USB cable to a computer running Fiplex Control Software (FCS) to be
properly configured. The Signal Booster has two USB Ports, one for PS800 and one
for PS700.
Starting Operation
BE SURE THAT “TO MOBILE” AND “TO BASE” PORTS ARE PROPERLY
LOADED EITHER WITH 50 OHMS DUMMY LOADS, OR RADIATING SYSTEM.
The Digital Signal Booster may come in one out of two versions: a 32 narrow-band filters version
or an up-to-8 adjustable-bandwidth filters version. It is even possible to have both versions in one
device so that the user can choose either of them. Depending on which version is actually running,
the main screen of the Fiplex Control Software will have a slightly different look.
1. Turn on the Digital Signal Booster, connect computer to Signal Booster through USB cable, and
run Fiplex Control Software. It is recommend to turn off the power amplifiers.
PA OFF in narrow-band version
PA OFF in adjustable bandwidth version
2. Setup desired channel frequencies. Since Fiplex Signal Booster is channel selective, user has to
know what frequencies are used in base station.
Program frequencies and
bandwidths

4. Setup desired operating gain using FCS. UL and DL chain are independent, so both values must
be set. To set DL band gain is recommended that AGC works around 3dB in each channel, in this
way, maximum output power is achieved.
5. Set up squelch settings. Controls are independent in UL and DL bands. Typical values for UL are 110dBm for squelch threshold. For DL, recommended value for squelch threshold is minimum
level received in any active channel minus 10dB.
Squelch, gain and power settings: narrow band
Squelch, gain and power settings: adjustable bandwidth
6. For narrow band filters version, setup desired filter bandwidth, depending on presence of
adjacent channels. In principle, recommended bandwidth filter is 90KHz due to its low delay, but if
adjacent signal is detected, narrow filters can be used. Spectrum analyzer of FCS can be used to
know rejection to undesired signals. It is recommend that adjacent channels output power be, at
least, 10dBc lower than useful carrier.

Remote Web Server option
IP Connection
Fiplex Signal Boosters use an Ethernet module and 3G Router to give TCP/IP
connectivity (webserver and SNMP Agent). In local mode, user can connect
directly a computer to the Ethernet module using the inside Ethernet cable.
In order to access to web browser, default IP addresses of Ethernet module are
detailed in the next table:
IP Address
192.168.1.10
IP Address
Network submask
255.255.255.0
Network submask
Gateway
192.168.1.2
Gateway
Computer network adapter configuration needs to be set to same network
submask and gateway. IP address can take any value in this IP range (192.168.1.11,
for instance). These addresses can be changed by user.
Web pages description
Once the Ethernet module is properly configured, user can connect to the Signal Booster,
writing IP address in URL toolbar of any web browser available in its computer. Default
URL is http://192.168.1.10.
First screen to appear is Authentication. Default login and password are:
Login
admin
Login
Password
admin
Password
Password can be changed by user, using menu described in next sections.
NOTE: in order to restore password, push the button placed close to USB Connector during
5 seconds.
After authentication, web browser will load the main page of Fiplex Signal Booster
showing RF configuration and monitoring parameters.
At left side of webpage, configuration menus are shown:
Content
Status: whole RF configuration and monitoring parameters are shown. These parameters are
described in the next section.
Tag: user can set a tag to ease Signal Booster identification. For modifying the TAG, write a
new value in text field and click over Apply Changes link
IP: At this page, Signal Booster IP address, network submask, gateway address and IP
addresses of SNMP Managers are shown. User can set addresses of two SNMP Managers
(IP where SNMP agent will send TRAP information). To modify, click over Apply Changes link
after writing new values on text fields.
In case the Signal Booster had been fit with an internal modem-router, its own IP
address settings would be fixed and the modem's address would be shown in the
greyed boxes.
Spectrum: this page shows estimation for input and output spectrum in either DL or
UL, whatever is selected by the user. Estimation for output spectrum takes into
account RF input levels, and gain, bandwidth filters and squelch options
programmed by the user, and it can be a useful tool for users to know how the
undesired signals are rejected by the channel selective Signal Booster.
The user can change start and stop frequency modifying text fields placed at the
page bottom. Minimum span is 200KHz and maximum span is the band covered by
the Signal Booster. In case the same frequency is set for both start and stop, then
zero-span is set. For user convenience, a zero-span checkbox is available that
makes that operation with one click, and chooses the start frequency setting as
the measurement frequency. That also disables the stop frequency setting and
changes it according to start frequency. And finally, measurements can be
averaged up to 32 times.
Date and Time: page to modify real time clock. When the Signal Booster is not
powered, this clock runs with a voltage supply provided by a 3V lithium battery,
button type of 20mm (CR2032) with 220mA·h. This suffices for at least half year.
When the Signal Booster is powered, no current is drained from the battery. So,
actual battery life will depend on Signal Booster usage. For battery replacement,
please locate battery holder between USB and Ethernet connectors on main board.
Battery positive side is UP, i.e. on holder clip.
Date and time setting
After clicking on “Apply Changes” link, next message will appear, warning the user
that system needs to be rebooted.
Filter Info: following this link, a new window appears with detailed information of
frequency and delay response of all available filter bandwidths (1dB, 3dB and 10dB
bandwidths and delay at center frequency)
Filter tool: assistant to easily configure signal booster filters with minimum delay
response (all filters set to 90KHz bandwidth). It is especially useful if carriers are
grouped in “frequency packets” where it is not possible to configure an
independent filter for each one. With this tool filtering parameters are
automatically set from a desired frequency carriers list. This tool executes in a
pop-up window as the image below and is described in next sections:
The desired carrier frequencies of the downlink band, are to be typed in the text
area of this window expressed in MHz. The tool will try to enable as many filters
of 90KHz bandwidth as necessary for all carriers, using a fine gain of 0dB by
default. This is trivial when carrier frequencies are sufficiently separated apart.
For instance:
The button "Compute Configuration Proposal" shows the computed filter
frequencies in another text area and, if accepted, the button "Apply Proposal"
would actually perform the configuration change.
However, for carrier frequencies that come in packets, the filter frequencies
should not be set too close because the overall response would be distorted.
Depending upon signal modulation, that response distortion might not have any
consequence. But in the case that distortion cannot be tolerated, consider that the
minimum frequency separation between two filters to avoid this problem is 1.25
times the semi-sum of their bandwidths. For instance, two filters width
bandwidths 90KHz and 30KHz respectively, must be separated apart by 1.25·(90 +
30) / 2 = 75 KHz.
Nevertheless, there are certain conditions under which filters can be set closer to
make up a single filter with wider bandwidth:
o The frequency separation must be 93.75 KHz.
o All of them must have the same bandwidth setting of 90 KHz.
o All of them must have the same fine gain setting.
The Filter Info window shows the frequency response of the combination of up to
five filters:
Now, consider for instance a case with the following downlink carrier frequencies:
392.0, 392.05, 392.1, 392.15, 392.2, 393.0 and 394.0 MHz. This is when the Filter
Tool comes in handy. It will automatically choose the filters required to cover the
range between 392.0 MHz and 392.2 MHz. As shown in next picture, it would set
three filters with frequencies 392.00625 MHz, 392.1 MHz and 392.19375 MHz for
the four carriers in the packet, and two more filters for the two separated carriers.
It is certainly possible to do this same operation manually, in the Filter Control
Frame, although it would be less convenient. Should the user set filters without
keeping these rules, the software would show a warning message, as in the
following image:
Password (only via web connection): to modify webpage password, old password
is required, and new password needs to be written two times. After clicking on
“Apply Changes” link, new authentication screen appear, where user must write
new password.
SNMP (only via web connection): user can configure through webserver some
SNMP parameters:
o
Read-only community and read-write community: set passwords for
SNMP agent (typically "public" / "private")
Watchdog Period: time in minutes without external IP access to the
device (HTTP, SNMP or PING) after which the embedded Ethernet
module will reboot just in case it were stuck. It does not affect RF
functioning. Default value is 1440 minutes, i.e. one day.
Ethernet RESET: resets Ethernet module.
Delete All Traps: clear all alarm conditions and sets trap counter to zero
Trap community: set trap community for each connection to SNMP
Manager
Trap port: set UDP port for SNMP trap sending. Default standard port is
162. SNMP polling is done through standard port nr. 161.
Trap repetition: set number of traps that SNMP agent will send every
time that alarm conditions vary. Maximum number is five repetitions and
the time lapse between them is 10 seconds.
Manager Enable: enables each connection to SNMP Manager
independently. If enabled, traps will be sent to manager IP address set in
IP section.
Keep-Alive period: Keep-Alive traps can be sent periodically with the
purpose of letting the SNMP manager know that the agent is working.
The time in minutes between these traps is the Keep-Alive period.
Default period is 60 minutes. A setting o 0 disables sending these traps.
These traps are not affected by the Trap Repetition mentioned before.
Configuration
o Apply Changes: as it is said above, this link is used to load changes to the
Signal Booster, in configuration, tag, IP, password and date and time
menus. After any configuration change, web page will show and icon that
allows user to know if configuration has been successfully applied:
Reload Settings: clicking this link, Signal Booster configuration data is
refreshed.
Version: shows hardware, firmware and software versions of Signal Booster and
serial number.
RF parameters description
“Status” menu shows whole RF configuration and monitoring data that are distributed
along the webpage.
The status window is divided in two main blocks: general control and filtering control.
First, general control contains signal booster main configuration parameters, while second
block is a list with variable number of rows (according to number of enabled filters) which
contains detailed configuration and monitoring parameters of each filter. Maximum
number of filters is 32 for narrow filters version and 8 for adjustable bandwidth version
General control frame for narrow-band version

User can change filtering mode in case of dual
version signal booster
Simplex mode checkbox control is only visible in devices with such capability. It allows
signal flow only in one direction, either uplink or downlink, at any given time. The chosen
direction is made automatically based on signal detection which, in turn, depends on
squelch. Therefore, turning on simplex mode automatically turns on squelch, both in
uplink and downlink sections, and disables these controls for the user. Besides, it also sets
squelch mode to "Not Linked" and disables this control, too. This is necessary since
otherwise the lack of RF input signal in downlink would mute the uplink RF input, thus
blocking all communication. The look of the general control frame in simplex mode is as in
next image:

Signal detection
With this indicator, system shows if signal is detected at
input, according to squelch threshold. Moreover, with
Squelch Mode = ‘Linked’, UL shows no signal if signal is
not detected in the same DL channel even if UL signal
exceed squelch threshold. Similarly, with simplex mode
enabled, if one signal is detected at DL band, all UL
filters will show “No signal”
RF output power
Shows estimation for RF output level for each channel,
according to programmed gain and AGC control. Shows
‘OFF’ in the same cases that signal detection shows ‘No
signal’
AGC
Indicates gain reduction due to power limitation control.
In case of adjustable filter version, filter control frame is slightly different.
According to entry mode button, frequency and bandwidth parameter
configuration can be:
Center frequency (in 25KHz steps) and bandwidth filters (50KHz
steps)
Start and stop frequencies (in 25KHz steps)

Spectrum UL / DL selection
When start and stop frequencies are set equal, then zero-span mode is activated to
show evolution of signals with time, which may be of special interest with pulsed
signals. The same thing can be achieved by setting the zero-span checkbox, with the
convenience that start frequency change would also change stop frequency
accordingly.
Spectrum zero-span mode
Resolution bandwidth becomes enabled in zero-span mode and sweep time is
automatically set according to its setting, which is user selectable between
25.000Hz, 12.500Hz, 6.250Hz and 3.125Hz. Average setting will also impact sweep
time in a similar way.

SNMP Agent
Fiplex Signal Booster includes a SNMPv1 agent that allows user to supervise the device
by means of 'SET' and 'GET' type commands and, asynchronous traps to notify alarm
conditions can be sent. The device is intended to be monitored by a polling NMS but it
can send traps to a NMS or Trap Receiver if enabled. Fiplex can provide a NMS system
upon request.
The following sections will show the user configurable, relevant information that can be
read via SNMP from the device. The tables will describe these values in order to explain
how the information has to be read and interpreted.
MIB Description
The associated MIB document is FIPLEX-BDA-SYSTEMv13-MIB.mib. The Fiplex MIB is
divided into blocks. Each block describes the characteristics and values of a specific
element but not all elements are implemented in this agent. Each MIB block is divided in
two segments, named 1T and 2T. Segment 1T contains the information that is fixed &
read only. Segment 2T has the information that can vary over time, regardless of it being
read/only or read/write.
The following sections will show the user configurable, relevant information that can be
read via SNMP from the device.
Manager
This is a table with 2 consecutive elements, one for each NMS. No checking is done of the
validity of the information stored in the table, so extra care must be taken by the user.

Alarms
Alarms tables provide information regarding the status of key parts in the system. The
fixed table gralAlarm1Table provides self-explanatory identifiers, gralAlarm1TId, for each
relevant subject. The second item in each element of this table is the gralAlarm1TGroup.
When the device being monitored is a Remote unit, this item just takes the value
'das.alarms '. However, since the Master unit carries information from all the devices in
the whole DAS system, it provides a different value for each device to which the alarm is
assigned to, be it the Master unit, any of the Remote units or any of the Expansion units.
Therefore, the actual number of elements in this table for the Master unit, depends on
how many devices compose the DAS system. The third item of each element,
gralAlarm1TDescription, is left blank, since the first one suffices for that purpose.

Board malfunction that cannot be determined.
AlarmHwFail
Digital signal processor failure.
AlarmRxLow
No input signal is detected in the downlink direction in any of the
activated filters. Aside from a faulty part, as the donor antenna or RF cable, this also might
be caused be a problem with the base station or frequency configuration. Notice also that
signal detection is dependent on squelch threshold setting. Because of that, this is
considered a warning instead of an alarm.
AlarmTempHigh
High device temperature (over 85ºC).
AlarmOverloadUplink Excessive RF input signal in UL.
AlarmOverloadDownlink Excessive RF input signal in DL.
AlarmTxLowDownlink Detected RF output power much lower than expected. Since output
power measurement is performed by the dedicated monitoring board, a fault in that board
would make this item be set as Unavailable and AlarmPAFaultDownlink set to true.
AlarmTxHighDownlink Excessive RF output power detected (3dB higher than rated). This is
most likely due to bad gain settings, since AGC would limit output power otherwise.
AlarmPAFaultUplink Uplink Power Amplifier failure. This alarm is available for certain
amplifier types only, and for the rest an 'unavailable' status is set in the next table.
AlarmPAFaultDownlink
Downlink Power Amplifier failure. A communication failure
with the dedicated monitoring board itself, throws this alarm, too.
AlarmVswr
RF mismatch of PA output is detected. Since VSWR measurement is
performed by the dedicated monitoring board, a fault in that board would make this item
be set as Unavailable and AlarmPAFaultDownlink set to true.

SNMP Traps
General Explanation
For any event that may set or clear an alarm in the gralAlarm2Table, there is a SNMP
trap that may be sent by the embedded SNMP agent to the manager, if enabled.
Therefore, the list of traps closely reassembles the entries in the alarms table.
Furthermore, there is also a keep-alive trap for letting the SNMP manager that the agent
is working, in case that polling is not being done.
Each trap message has the following fields (except for the keepAlive trap, whose only
object is the agent's IP address
An identification number associated to the event being signaled.
A severity indication number.
A short string description for human readability.
The following list gathers all the available identifiers:
SNMP Trap descriptions and Enterprise Specific IDs
Source event
Description
ID
System sends this trap periodically. Period is set with KeepAlive Period setting of the trap manager. When this trap is
thrown, the trap counter is not incremented. It is always in
cleared state.
This trap indicates that the board controller is not responding
to the remote supervision system.

As it turns out from this list, there is a one-to-one relationship between events triggering
traps and their notification identifiers. But the trap identifier does not tell whether the
event was to trigger the alarm state or to cancel it. That is the purpose of the severity
identification number in the trap message. The following table lists the severity numbers
used:

UNAVAILABLE
The character string attached to each trap message includes both a short event
description plus a severity description such as “OK” or “FAIL”. As an example, the
following picture shows a snapshot of a trap receiver getting traps from a unit at address
172.18.21.10. The time-stamp shows time since system boot and SNMP Version is '1'.
The severity is set to 'warning'.

BDA System MIB: .1.3.6.1.4.1.26355.2.50 (applicable to BDA system)
Enterprise specific trap number: 10 (meaning 'Rx Input Low DL' according to the table
of trap identifiers).
Trap Bindings
1) gralAlarm2TStatus. Value: 2 (see table below)
2) gralAlarm2TEventDescription: Value: “RX LOW DOWNLINK - WARNING”
The first binding in the trap is the gralAlarm2TStatus of gralAlarm2T table in the MIB:
