Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Warning
Opening the Tri MINI could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury.
Warning
Connect the equipment frame ground to building ground.
Warning
Operating the Tri MINI with antennas in very close proximity facing each other
could lead to severe damage to the repeater.
Caution
RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be maintained between
the user and the external antenna of repeater to satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov
Caution
This equipment is for indoor use and enables the communication wiring to
communicate only inside the building.

ALC (Automatic Level Control)
ALC feature prevents the repeater from exceeding its maximum output power by
reducing the gain automatically. ALC is used to adjust the gain to an appropriate
level for a range of input signal levels.
ASD (Automatic Shutdown)
Automatic shut down protects the repeater from the oscillation or excessive input
signal and eliminates any degradation to the network.
There are three parameters: ASD LEVEL, ASD TIME and ASD COUNT.
If the output power gets higher than “ASD LEVEL”, the repeater will shut down for
“ASD TIME” seconds and then it will turn the amp back on to measure the output
power again. If this repeats at “ASD COUNT” times, the repeater will shut down
completely.

Tri MINI repeater is used to fill out areas in iDEN and CDMA mobile systems, such
as base station fringe areas, business and industrial building, etc.
Tri MINI receives signals from a base station, amplifies and retransmits the signals
to mobile stations. Also it receives, amplifies and retransmits signals in the opposite
direction. Both directions are served simultaneously with the following features:
1. Introduction
a. iDEN
• 7MHz or 18MHz-bandwidth service @ 800MHz’s
• 5MHz-bandwidth service @ 900MHz’s
• Adjustable Band Edge @ 800MHz’s and 900MHz’s
• Roll Offs: 65dBc at 0.5MHz outside pass-band
• Remote Access and Control
• Easy and Quick Installation
- Web-based GUI
- Plug and Play – DHCP Server @ Local Port an DHCP Client @ Remote Port
- Easy Setup(Automatic)

User’s Manual
1. Introduction
- TRI MINI utilizes the web-based user interface and web server to support the
remote access and control through an external monitoring device with wireless
modem. There are two physical RJ-45 ports:
• The Local port provides the on-site access to the repeater.
• The remote port allows remote users to access the repeater through an
external monitoring device.
The two ports allow local remote users to access the repeater simultaneously.
- DHCP server at the Local port enables Plug and Play by automatically assigning
the IP address to the user’s computer.
- Parameter setup is only one click away
• Easy setup feature will measure the isolation and limit the maximum gain
accordingly. This will also enable Auto Level Control as well as Auto Shut
Down. These two features are strongly recommended to prevent the
uncontrolled power output, which could have an adverse impact on the
RF network and the repeater. For example, ALC will automatically apply
attenuation when the input signal strength is increased due to the new base
station deployment near the repeater site.
