Chapter 1. Installing RepeaterNet
This chapter briefly describes the components of the RepeaterNet software, identifies minimum
system requirements. and describes the installation procedure.
RepeaterNet Craft Software
The RepeaterNet Craft software (Craft) provides Windows 95- and Windows NT-based
configuration management and alarm monitoring for individual Repeater Technologies repeaters
and dynamically manages sessions in real time through one of these connections:
a A laptop computer with a direct connection to the repeaters—a technician can visit
repeater sites and connect to the repeaters directly using the serial port on the laptop.
z; A laptop or desktop computer with a modem connection to the repeater—with the modem
connection. a technician need not visit the physical repeater sites to connect to the
repeaters,
The Craft user intenaoe varies, depending upon the model repeater being configured or
monitored.
NOTE: You must have Administrator pnvlledgo to install Craft 2.1 soltware when mnning
Mndows NT.
Minimum System Requirements
Craft system requirements includez
:> Pentium 120 MHz running Windows 95 with 32 MB ofmemery
: Approximately 10 MB of free disk space
:> Modem (its modem connection is to be used)
NOTES:
3 The Craft system must be used with Windows 95 with Service Pack 1 Update (Version
4.00.950 A) orlaler releases or Windows NT, Service Pack 3 Update.
: Use ‘Hayesmmpafible’ modems only. “Connect with Rockwell” certified for modems of
56K and above. US Robotics modems are not supported
r I! you use a fax program such as Microsoft Fax, make sure that the Auto Answer feature is
disabled. See Appendix D. Troubleshooting on page 33, Problem 7, for how to disable
Auto Answer for Microsoft Fax.
Installation Procedure
The OA19000 NR Craft software is distributed on 3 HD floppy disks. To install:
1. Insert Disk 1 in your a: drive.
2. From the Windows start menu, select Run.
3. Type filo-tup and click on OK.
4. Follow the online instructions to install the Craft software.
The Craft soitware comes with default configuration files, which you can download to your
repeater according to the repeater type and number of channels. This eliminates the need to
configure the properties manually. See Download Properties on page 22.

You can save both Direct and Dial-Out (Modem)
configurations. but remember to assign a unique
COM Port Number to each Also, be sure to
check Use this connection for only one oi the
configurations. The connection checked is the
connection RepeaterNet Craft uses to connect to
the mmmr.
For example. you may assign the connection type
as Dine! through con Port 1. You can check
the UM this connection box to make this your
default configuration. Click on Save.
Next. you can save a Modern configuration to
another COM port, such as COM Port 2:

Status Reporting
Onoe you have configured the repeater, you can monitor and control repeater system functions on
subsystem status screens. Click a subsystem icon to open its status screen.
When an alarm is triggered. the subsystem icon changes appearance. blinks, and activates an
audible alarm, Clicking on the icon and viewing the subsystem status screen stops the blinking
and the audible alarm. The display 01 the icon does not revert to normal until the alarm condition
is cleared.
The display of the Forward PA and Reverse PA icons also indicate the operational status oi the
PAs. Ifa PA is OFF, a circle with a slash is displayed overthe associated icon.
When RepeaterNet displays a subsystem as disabled. that subsystem is not available to the
repeater. For example, in repeaters without a cellular phone, the cellular icon is displayed in light
gray.
Alarm Status Reporting on the Main Control Screen
RepeaterNet uses a color system to report subsystem alarm status on the Main Control screen.
The meanings of the colors. and color independent icons. is shown in the following table.
Color-Independent
icon
Subsystem Alarm Status Action
Normal— No Alarm
System Not Available Light Gray
‘ When all alarms in an individual subsystem are disabled or set to event severity. the icon
color displays in dark gray.
Craft forthe OA1900C: NR Chapter 2. RepeaterNet Craft — Page 4
When an alarm is triggered, the icon color of the attected subsystem changes from green
(normal) to the color of the alarm definition, and the icon blinks.
RepeaterNet also offers two optional alarm features:
2 Color independent Icons is provided for operators unable to distinguish colors
3 Alarm Sounds adds an audible alarm
Should more than one alarm within an individual subsystem be triggered, the higher severity
alarm is reported on the Main Control screen.
For example, it both a major and a minor Reverse PA alarm triggers, a yellow subsystem icon is
reported If the major alarm is cleared while the minor alarm remains active. a blue subsystem
icon is reported. Color-independent icons also report the higher severity alarm. should more than
one alarm on an individual subsystem be triggered,
NOTE: When an subsystem alarm is triggered, click the icon {to open the status screen) to
terminate the icon blinking feature and silence the audible alarm. Icon color continues to
report and a color independent icon (if applicable) continues to display until the alarm is
cleared. Color reporting does not apply to subsystems set to Event severity.
Defining Alarm Severity
The OA1900C NR is factory-configured with a standard set at alarm severity settings, Adjust
alarm severity on the subsystem Properties screens. See Chapter 3. Configuring OA1900C
NR Properties on page 6 tor more information about alarm severity and the factory configuration.

Appendix D. Troubleshooting
The following attempts to identify the most common problems associated with the successful
operation of the RepeaterNet system. The steps listed to resolve the problem may not include all
of the possible reasons lor nonoperability, but may assist in identifying the aduel difliculty. The
problem attributes in the following paragraphs have been ordered with the most likely problem
listed first.
If you continue to have problems, call Repeater Technologies Customer Support for assistance.
See inside the front cover of this document for current telephone numbers.
Problem 1: The Repeatentlet Server reports that it cannot open the NMS database.
Either the DSN is configured improperly, does not point to the proper location, or the system did
not find the DSN itself. Call Customer Support tor assistance.
:> The correct DSN or User ID is not identified.
=> The Windows 0090 drivers are not installed.
:> The database file pointed to by the DSN is corrupted or needs repair.
Problem 2: The Process Manager component of the RepeaterNet Server reports that it
cannot read the database Ports table.
No ports have been configured in the system dambase.
The Ports table in the database may be corrupted. Repair the database and retry.
Problem 3: The System starts up without error but, when a repeater graphical user
interface is launched, no detailed data is displayed"
Wait for up to 4 minutes (cell modem connection) to see whether the program can connect to the
repeater. if not, a warning will pop-up indicah'ng communications could not be established.
Problem 4: A specific port does not seem to be in use and an Alert exists, or the
database log reports the error "Unable to initialized port COMn" where n is
the designation of the non—functioning port.
The port number has been configured incorrectly or the port does not exist.
The port is assigned to another program operating in the same PC. Windows does not permit the
sharing of communications ports between active programs. Shut down the other program.
Problem 5: The system reports "Unable to connect to repeater..."

Problem 8: NMS Client reports “Cannot find application Repeaterlilet Server. "
This can occur when the Server is not running or a network failure prevents the NMS Client from
connecting to the Sewer. Verify that the Sewer is mnning and that the Servers host is
accessible.
Another possibility is a conflict with the pen assigned to the Server. This problem has been
