This guide should be applied whenever a need exists to add pilot beacon capability to an existing system or
when this capability is being included with a new installation.
The general safety information in this guideline applies to both operating and service personnel. Specific
warnings and cautions will be found in other parts of this manual where they apply, but may not appear in this
summary. Failure to comply with these precautions or specific warnings elsewhere in the manual violates
safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of equipment. Cellular Specialties, Inc. assumes no
liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements:
Grounding
This pilot beacon system is designed to operate from 100-240 VAC and should always
be operated with the ground wire properly connected. Do not remove or otherwise alter the
grounding lug on the power cord.
Explosive Atmospheres
To avoid explosion or fire, do not operate this product in the presence of flammable
gases or fumes.
Lightning Danger
Do not install or make adjustments to this unit during an electrical storm. Use of a suitable lightning
arrester, such as CSI’s model number CSI-CAP, is very strongly recommended.
No User Serviceable Parts Inside
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WHEN THE COVER IS REMOVED. Opening the chassis will void
your warranty. If you suspect a malfunction with this product, call your dealer or the Cellular Specialties
Support Line at: (603) 626-6677, Toll Free (USA) 1-877-844-4274.
The purpose of this document is to provide a step-by-step procedure to help the experienced technician/
engineer install and commission an in-building wireless enhancement pilot beacon system. Following the
procedures outlined will minimize risks associated with modifying a live system and prevent service interrup-
tions. This document assumes the technician/engineer understands the basic principles and functionality
involved with the system. It is geared to the practical concerns of the installer.
Antennas used for the purpose of radiating signals indoors are limited to a maximum gain of 3 dBi. Each antenna must be
positioned to observe minimum separation requirements from all users and bystanders. The following guidelines should be
used when considering separation distances.
INDOOR antennas must be placed such that, under normal conditions, personnel cannot come within 20 cm (~8.0 in.) from
any inside antenna. Adhering to this minimum separation will ensure that the employee or bystander cannot exceed RF
exposures beyond the maximum permissible limit as defined by section 1.1310 i.e. limits for General Population/Uncontrolled
Exposure.

The pilot beacon generator facilitates E911 and other location based services (LBS) for in building and/or DAS based installations of
CDMA2000/1xEV-DO cellular networks. In these situations the normal methods based for location determination, direct reception of GPS
by the mobile station or triangulation using the signals from multiple base stations, do not work. Signals from the GPS system are
sufficiently weak that even if the mobile station’s GPS receiver might ultimately be able to lock on to the satellites, the acquisition time will be
too long. And since indoor service is typically provided either by a single strong local cell or by using a repeater, there aren’t multiple
signals on which to triangulate while DAS based deployments result in too many signals with indeterminate timing. By placing a pilot signal
at a known PN offset the LBS algorithm can quickly and reliably be made aware that it is within a specific building or other location where
normal location determining solutions are ineffective. This information can be used to aid the GPS receiver in acquiring signals if they are
present or be used as a position report directly until more accurate information becomes available.

PN Pseudo random Number: A number chosen by some algorithm that approximates a random process.
Can be short for “PN Sequence”, “PN Number”, or “PN Offset” when discussing the CDMA2000
system.
PN Number In the CDMA2000 system only a subset of the possible PN Offsets are used for base station
identification. Each of these allowed offsets is given a unique number from 0 to 511.
PN Offset In the CDMA2000 System each base station is identified by the offset in time from the EST at which the
start of the Pilot PN Sequence occurs. The offset is specified in terms of number of chips.
PN Sequence A sequence of pseudo random numbers. In the CDMA2000 system several such sequences are used.
The one relevant to ICEBreaker is the Pilot, or Short, sequence which is a 215 element long sequence of
ones and zeros.
PPS Pulse per Second: Refers the pulse repetition rate of the timing signal used as a time reference.
RF Radio Frequency

Tau Timing Offset or Delay Adjustment: In the CDMA2000 system the timing of the downlink signal is
required to be aligned with the EST as it is transmitted from the antenna. Tau allows the timing of the
internal PN Sequence to be adjusted to compensate for the delays of the base station hardware such
that the timing will be correct at the antenna

During Power up, the pilot beacon will require approximately three minutes for the internal computer to boot up.
During this time the LEDs on the front panel may light and go out several times. When boot is complete and no alarm
conditions exist, none of the LED indicators will be illuminated. The CSI logo is illuminated when ever the pilot is powered.
Do not unplug the unit while it is in the boot up process!
Powering Up the Unit:
To allow monitoring and control, the pilot beacon is equipped with four ports that provide external communication
access (1 Ethernet CAT-5, 2 DB-9 serial, and 1 USB). The Ethernet, CAT-5 port is provided as a primary communica-
tions port to the PC. One serial interface, COM 1, provides communications to local PC. The USB interface provides a
means to download files from a memory device. The DB-9 pin assignments of COM 1 conform to the standard
Electronic Industries Association (EIA232) specification. A diagram of the pin descriptions is provided on this page for
reference.
Connecting a null modem cable to the COM 1 port and using a terminal emulation program with a PC will allow
communication to the control processor’s Text Menu Interface (TMI). See command line interface section for further
detail.
The proprietary external GPS receiver connection is made at the port labeled “GPS Receiver”. Do not connect other
devices or non-straight-through serial extension cables to this port. Place the GPS receiver in a location with
the best view of the unobstructed sky that is possible, although a 100% open view of the sky is not necessary to
achieve a stable time lock.

EIA232 Pin Specifications:
The diagram above is for reference only, it’s intended to provide a quick source for pinout information in the event it should
be necessary to adapt your serial cable because of an unusual connector configuration. In the vast majority of cases this
information will not be needed.
There are no physical connections provided to specifically communicate system or alarm status. This informa-
tion is embedded in the information accessible via the communication ports described earlier.
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface conforms to Intel’s Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) version
1.1 dated March 21, 1996. This interface will support data transfer rates up to 12 Mbps and can be used for
software updates.
The Ethernet AUI conforms to IEEE 802.3 and is capable of supporting 10/100 Mbps communications speeds.
This port is used to provide access to the UI.

•The installer should refer to the Safety Guidelines section and the Important Safety Information section for proper
antenna selection and installation. To avoid serious injury or death and damage to the pilot beacon, do not install server
antennas near overhead power lines or high power components. Allow enough distance so that if antennas should
fall they will not come in contact with those components.
••
••
•Close proximity to the server antennas with the pilot beacon in operation may expose the user or installer to RF
fields that exceed FCC limits for human exposure.
WARNING! AMPLIFIER OR HANDSET DAMAGE MAY OCCUR IF A HANDSET IS CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE PILOT
BEACON OR THE COAX THAT LEADS TO THE PILOT BEACON.

Primary access to the unit is gained using a LAN connection and a web browser program such as Firefox by Mozilla, or Internet
Explorer from Microsoft. The beacon ships with the default IP address of 192.168.1.100, but it can be changed later if required.
If connecting directly to the unit from a laptop or PC with a crossover CAT-5E cable or over a LAN the user types the IP
address of the unit into the browser address line to connect. (Note: Most users will need to update the TCP/IP settings on their
computer to enable connection to a host that has a static IP. Select “Use the following IP Address” and enter the IP Address as
follows: 192.168.1.x, where “x” = any number from 2 to 254 inclusive other than 100. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Questions pertaining to these settings should be referred to the user’s IT department or you may refer to the Additional Tips
section at the end of this manual.) When connection is made the user will be prompted for a user name and password. For the
purpose of the GUI session, the default user name is webuser and the 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 Ethernet connection when on battery power. If this is the case with the laptop you are
using you will need to plug it in or update the power settings.)

The Pilot Beacon can transmit up to eight simultaneous CDMA2000 signals for a Cell band unit and eleven for a PCS band unit. The
carrier frequency for each signal is set by entering the desired CDMA channel number for that signal.
Thus, there are eight or eleven Channel Number fields, one for each of the possible signals.
The CDMA channel number is a unitless integer value with a split range of 1 to 799 and then 991 to 1023 for cell band and 1 to 1199
for PCS band. Duplicate channel numbers are not allowed.
Beacon Control:
The default values for the Cell Band are:
Signal 1: CDMA Channel 384
Signal 2: CDMA Channel 425
Signal 3: CDMA Channel 466
Signal 4: CDMA Channel 507
Signal 5: CDMA Channel 548
Signal 6: CDMA Channel 589
Signal 7: CDMA Channel 770
Signal 8: CDMA Channel 1
The default values for the PCS Band are:
Signal 1: CDMA Channel 1
Signal 2: CDMA Channel 2
Signal 3: CDMA Channel 3
Signal 4: CDMA Channel 4
Signal 5: CDMA Channel 5
Signal 6: CDMA Channel 6
Signal 7: CDMA Channel 7
Signal 8: CDMA Channel 8
Signal 9: CDMA Channel 9
Signal 10: CDMA Channel 10
Signal 11: CDMA Channel 11
Each of the eight or eleven signals can be individually turned on or off. There is one transmit enable field for each signal.
Signal Transmit Enables:
PN Offset:
The PN Offset is a unitless integer value with a range of 0 to 511. The default value is zero.
Tau is a real value in units of microseconds with a range of 0 to 5.2 μsec and two decimal places of precision. Internally the value
will be rounded to the nearest 1/40th of a CDMA chip. The test equipment reads “Tau” as follows: Positive tau means the signal is
llate. Negative is opposite. The tau “setting” on the unit works as follows: Positive tau is “back to the future” which means it creates
the RF signal at a sooner time than zero tau. Negative tau is opposite. When one sees a positive tau on the test equipment, and
wishes to “zero” it, the value of tau in the UI must be reduced to “zero it”.
Pilot Beacon Per Channel Transmit Power:
This setting controls the CDMA Channel Power output by the Pilot Beacon for each carrier. All enabled carriers are transmitted at
the same power level. The total transmit power will be the sum of the power of all enable carriers. The user must set this power
level such that the total transmit power does not exceed the specified maximum transmit power for the Pilot Beacon.
The Output Power is specified in dBm with a range of 0.5 to 19.0 and a resolution of 0.5.
Composite Transmit Power:
Composite output power is a display only field. The value is calculated from the Per Channel Tx Power and the number of channels
that are enabled.
There are three alternatives for the timing reference source.
GPS 1 Pulse Per second (default)
GPS Even Second Sync1

Remote access to the pilot beacon may be gained through a LAN connection and a terminal emulation program for TCP/IP. As with the
serial connection, many terminal emulation programs will work, if properly configured. In the following description, “TeraTerm” is used
to establish the Telnet session. Also, it will be required that the network configuration of the computer and the pilot beacon being
controlled be set up with the same Sub Net and Sub Net Mask in order to establish a link. In other words, the IP addresses of both the
computer used and the pilot beacon must use the same group of IP address number sets. For example, the pilot beacon ships with the
default IP address of 192.168.1.100 and a Sub Net Mask of 255.255.255.0. In order to connect, the computer to be used for the link
would normally need an IP address of something like 192.168.1.12 with a Sub Net Mask of 255.255.255.0, the same Sub Net Mask as
the pilot beacon. In this example note: the last digit of the IP address may be any number except 1,100 and 255. Configuring your PC is
normally fairly straight forward but it does vary somewhat with the operating system involved. If you require assistance, contact your
IT department and they will be able to set up your PC for you or you may review the Additional Tips Section at the end of the manual.
When the TeraTerm program is started, the following screen is displayed. Change the default host IP address to the IP address of the
pilot beacon to be controlled. In the case of a new install, the default address is 192.168.1.100 and has been assigned at the factory.
Select the service Telnet. The TCP Port must be 23.
Pressing the “OK” button will bring the user to the following screen, which will require the user to log in. The default user name is
“user”. The default password is “csi1234”.
In the field after the prompt “DSP85-cell-X login;” type the user name and password. After typing the password press the enter key and
the main menu will be displayed as shown in the text menu section.
Telnet and serial sessions both provide access to the same Text Menu Interface. We have already shown many of the
options available and all are self explanatory, so they will not be repeated.
