-12-Section 3Hardware OperationsTest Point Locations and ValuesIndicator LightsThe CSI repeater, CS12-553-401, by design, has no external test points. The Power and Filter modules aresealed with no user serviceable parts inside. The CBC/FAN Module had no user serviceable parts, if fansare observed to fail the module can be sent back to CSI for evaluation. Testing and configuration is doneexclusively by interfacing the repeater with a laptop or desktop computer and using the Web based GUI orthe TMI. Both user interfaces will provide a complete status of the repeater. In most cases if all othercomponents of the system prove to be working properly and the repeater is not, the user will need toreturn the unit to CSI for inspection and repair. See the Warranty and Repair Procedures in Section 3 ofthis manual.If the covers for the Power and or Filter modules are removed by the user the warranty will be void andthe cost of any needed repair will be the responsibility of the user.This repeater was designed with only two external indicator lights. Both are approximately 3/4”diameter LEDs. Located on the Filter Module face plate, between the COM and POWER IN ports, the firstLED labeled POWER/FAULT glows red as the repeater is powered up. When the unit completes all ofit’s bootup procedures the LED will change color and glow green to indicate the system is operatingnormally. If the LED remains red it’s an indication of a problem and the user will need to check thesystem status using the Web based GUI or the TMI.The second LED is located on the faceplate of the Power Module, between the DC IN and POWER OUTconnector ports. This light is designed only to show that the unit has DC current and will glow greenwhen the unit is powered.TroubleshootingAll cables should be checked for shorts and opens.The rooftop antenna (Donor Antenna), should be checked for damage.The DAS antennas should be checked for damage.If cables and antennas are acceptable and the problem persists, check repeater status using the Webbased GUI or the TMI. See Alarm/Action Matrix on the next page.Should the repeater fail, or if service is lost and the cause can not be determined from the steps above, the usershould contact CSI Technical Support @ 1.877.844.4274. CSI will remotely access the repeater and advise therespondent of next step(s).

-19 -Software OperationsSection 4General Operation OverviewWeb based GUI SessionPrimary access to the repeater is gained using a LAN connection and a web browser program such as Firefox byMozilla, or Internet Explorer from Microsoft. The repeater ships in DHCP server mode and by default the IP address willbe 192.168.1.100. *If connecting directly to the repeater from a laptop or PC with a crossover CAT-5E cable or over a LAN the user typesthe IP address of the repeater into the browser address line to connect. When connection is made the user will beprompted for a user name and password. For the purpose of the GUI session, the default user name is webuser andthe password is csi1234. This can also be changed as required. Internet access is not required to use the GUI. (Note:If you are connecting using a laptop, verify that your Ethernet port is powered. Some laptops will not allow Ethernetconnection when on battery power. If this is the case with the laptop you are using you will need to plug it in or updatethe power settings.)*DHCP is a protocol that allows computers on a network to be automatically configured appropriately for that network.Networks provide DHCP service by maintaining one or more servers that listen for special broadcasts on the network,called DHCP requests. These requests are made by computers when they first join a particular network. The DHCPserver replies with configuration information that the requester uses to join the network.In the case of this repeater, the unit is configured to act as a DHCP server by default. This means that a computerconfigured to make a DHCP request on joining a network (most laptops are set up this way) will automatically receive aconfiguration from the repeater when it is connected to it via the local network port. This connection is made with eithera crossover cable or an Ethernet switch or hub.One word of caution: The repeater, if it joins a network already managed by another DHCP server, may causedisruptions in that network. To avoid any such problems, reconfigure the unit for static or DHCP client mode beforeconnecting it to such a network. (The local networking config page in the web interface, and the menu interface, canbe used to achieve this.)

The “Local Network Configuration” provides access tothe network connection that is made to the system via the Ethernet port located on the front panel of the unit. The “RemoteNetwork Configuration” is used to configure the wireless modem(s) that are attached to the USB port of the SBC (single boardcomputer) that controls the unit. The “SNMP Configuration” option is not used or supported in this version of product.========================Networking Configuration========================(1) Local Network ConfigurationThe “Local Networking Configuration” menu allows the user to configure the Ethernet port to operate in one ofthree modes once enabled. If the unit is configured to have a static IP address, then the user must know what thecharacteristics of the network are that the unit will be connected to. In DHCP client mode, the unit will broadcast arequest for an IP address from a properly configured DHCP server on the network. In DHCP server mode (default)the unit will assign itself an IP address of 192.168.1.100 and it will also listen for DHCP IP address requests. If theuser connects a device (laptop) directly to the Ethernet port (cabling requirements may differ) the unit will issue anIP address of 192.168.1.90. The unit is currently capable of issuing one client address. This is done to limitcataclysmic events should the unit be connected to a network that already has a DHCP server.———————————CAUTION: Network reconfiguration may cause local and remote access interruptions.———————————===========================Local Network Configuration===========================(1) enable(2) disable(3) set default static IP (192.168.1.100)(4) set labview calibration IP (192.168.1.69)(r) Return to previous menu->
