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. Speci! c 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
speci! c 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 ! re, do not operate this product in the presence of " ammable
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 interruptions. 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 maxi-
mum permissible limit as de! ned by section 1.1310 i.e. limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure.

Radio and Television Interference

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
suf• ciently 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 speci• c 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 identi• cation. Each of
these allowed offsets is given a unique number from 0 to 511.
PN Offset In the CDMA2000 System each base station is identi• ed by the offset in time from the EST at which the start of the
Pilot PN Sequence occurs. The offset is speci• ed 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
SBC Single Board Computer
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 LED
on the front panel may light and go out several times. When boot is complete and no alarm conditions exist, the LED indicators will be
illuminated green.
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, 1 DB-9 serial, and 2 USB). The Ethernet, CAT-5 port is provided as a primary communications port to the PC. One serial inter-
face, COM 1, can provide communications to local PC. The USB interface provides a means to download ! les from a memory device.
The DB-9 pin assignments of COM 1 conform to the standard Electronic Industries Association (EIA232) speci! cation. A diagram of the
pin descriptions is provided on the next 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) for trouble shooting and advanced diagnostics. Call CSI technical support for assistance if
you need to access these advanced features or for further information.
The proprietary external GPS receiver connection is made at the port labeled “GPS”. 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.
Local Communication Interface Ports
• 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 ! elds that exceed FCC
limits for human exposure.
WARNING! PILOT BEACON AND/OR HANDSET DAMAGE MAY OCCUR IF A HANDSET IS CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE
PILOT BEACON OR THE COAX THAT LEADS TO THE PILOT BEACON.

EIA232 Pin Specifi cations
The diagram above is for reference only, it’s intended to provide a quick source for pinout information in the event it should be neces-
sary to adapt your serial cable because of an unusual connector con• guration. In the vast majority of cases this information will not be
needed.
There are no physical connections provided to exclusively and speci• cally communicate system or alarm status. Information with regard
to system or alarm status is provided by the GUI 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 pro-
vide access to the UI.

Remote access to the repeater may be gained through a LAN connection and a terminal emulation program for TCP/IP. As with the se-
rial connection, many terminal emulation programs will work, if properly con• gured. In the following description, “TeraTerm” is used to
establish the Telnet session. Also, it will be required that the network con• guration of the computer and the repeater 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 repeater must use the same group of IP address number sets. For example, the repeater 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 repeater. In this example
note: the last digit of the IP address may be any number except 1,100 and 255. Con• guring 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
repeater 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 display the security alert shown below.
Click the yes button and the • rst SSH2 Authentication Challenge screen is displayed. The user then types the username in the space

Key Features
Multiple Beacon Confi
guration
Each unit contains four independent beacons. These can be all in the same band or two of one band and two of another.
Detected RF Power Shutdown
The product contains an RF power detector for each transmitter that can be used to sense the power being transmitted by the DAS.
Loss of the DAS requires that the beacon be shut down in order to provide some possibility for mobile devices to connect to the low level
signal of the macro network.
The shutdown threshold is set by the user. When the detected power falls below the set threshold the transmit power of all beacons is
shut down and an alarm is issued. When the power rises above the threshold the beacons are turned back on.
Timing Reference Source
A GPS derived timing reference is always required for the proper operation of the Co-co-pilot beacon. That timing reference can be
provided by one of the following:
• An optional internal GPS receiver
• An optional internal CDMA timing receiver
• The CSI supplied external CDMA Timing Reference Receiver
• The CSI supplied external precision GPS Timing Reference (Spectrum Instruments TM-4)
• Any user-supplied GPS Receiver capable of providing a TTL compatible even second tick aligned to GPS (not UTC)
time.
Control Parameter Details
Master Shutdown
The Master Shutdown shuts down the transmissions from all beacons in the product.
Timing Reference Selection
There are three alternatives for the timing reference source and all beacons in the product use the same reference.
• Internal GPS
• Internal CDMA
• External Even Second Sync
The choices that are available will depend on the product type as follows:
-MX- “External” only
-MG- “External” and “Internal GPS”
-MO- “External” and “Internal CDMA
The default choice will also depend on the product type as follows:
-MX- “External”
-MG- “Internal GPS”
-MO- “Internal CDMA
Selecting “Internal GPS” enables the use of the internal GPS receiver. An appropriate antenna with a clear view of the sky must be
connected to the “Timing In” connector of the Co-pilot beacon. This choice is only available if the unit includes the optional GPS timing
reference.
Selecting “Internal CDMA” enables the use of the internal CDMA receiver. Either an appropriate antenna, or a cable carrying a valid
CDMA Base Station signal, must be connected to the “Timing In” connector of the Co-pilot beacon. This choice is only available if the unit
includes the optional CDMA timing reference.
Selecting “External Even Second” enables the use of a TTL compatible even second pulse via the “EST In” connector of the Co-Co-pilot
beacon. The rising edge of the pulse is used as the time reference and must be aligned with the start of the even second of GPS (not
UTC) Time.
The even second tick provided by the selected Timing Reference will appear on the “EST Out” connector.

Each co-pilot beacon can transmit up to eleven simultaneous CDMA2000 signals. The carrier frequency for each signal is set by entering
the desired CDMA channel number for that signal.
Thus, there are eleven Channel Number • elds, one for each of the possible signals.
The CDMA channel number is a unit less integer value
The range is 1 to 799 and then 991 to 1023 for cell band, 1 to 1199 for PCS band, and 25 to 875 for AWS band. Duplicate channel num-
bers are not allowed.
The default values for a Cell Band beacon 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
Signal 9: CDMA Channel 9
Signal 10: CDMA Channel 10
Signal 11: CDMA Channel 11

PN Offset
Each beacon has its own PN Offset. The PN Offset is a unitless integer value with a range of 0 to 511. The default value is zero.
Tau (Delay Correction)
There is a single Tau value for each beacon in a given product unit. Tau is a real value in units of microseconds with a range of -166.7 to
+166.7 μsec and one decimal place of precision. Internally the value will be rounded to the nearest 1/40th of a CDMA chip.
Co-pilot beacon Per Channel Transmit Power
This setting controls the CDMA Channel Power output by a given Co-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 specifi ed maximum transmit power for the Co-pilot beacon.
The Output Power is specifi ed in dBm with a range of 0.0 to 20.0 and a resolution of 0.5.
Composite Transmit Power
Composite output power is a display only fi eld. The value is calculated from the Per Channel Tx Power and the number of channels that
are enabled.
Manual Shutdown
Manual Shutdown allows the user to shut down transmission from the given beacon
Auto Shutdown Enable
The detected power shutdown feature can be enabled or disabled.
Auto Shutdown Threshold
The shutdown threshold is entered in units of dBm.
The allowable range is -26 to +4 dBm
Detected Power
Detected power is a display only fi eld that displays the current reading of the power detector for the given beacon. The measured power
is displayed in units of dBm and has a range of -30 to +10.
